Minerai ("we", "our", or "the app") is an AI-powered rock and mineral identification application developed by Ragare. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Minerai uses your device camera or photo gallery to capture images of rocks and minerals for identification. All image processing is performed locally on your device using an on-device AI model (TensorFlow Lite). No images are uploaded to external servers.
With your permission, Minerai collects GPS location data to tag where you found specimens. This data is stored locally on your device in the collection database and is never transmitted to external servers.
Your mineral collection (identified specimens, photos, locations, dates) is stored locally on your device using SQLite. This data is not synced to any cloud service.
App settings such as language preference and theme mode are stored locally using SharedPreferences.
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage data as described in Google's Privacy Policy.
The map feature uses Google Maps to display specimen locations. Google Maps may collect location and usage data as described in Google's Privacy Policy.
When online, the app may fetch detailed mineral information from the Mindat.org API. Only the mineral name is sent as a query parameter; no personal data is transmitted.
All user data (collection, photos, locations, preferences) is stored locally on your device. We do not operate any servers that collect or store your personal data.
Minerai is suitable for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control. You can delete the app and all associated data at any time by uninstalling Minerai.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
