The only data processed are user prompts, which are used solely for the purpose of querying Amazon’s Product Advertising API (PAAPI):
1- User Prompts for Product Searches: We process user-provided written prompts. These prompts are used to generate search keywords that are sent to Amazon’s Product Advertising API (PAAPI) to retrieve relevant product information. These prompts are handled to facilitate search functionality.
2- Anonymized Usage Data and AI Agent Interactions: To enhance the App, improve our AI agent, and provide a better user experience, we collect anonymized data about how you use the App. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Features accessed and usage patterns within the App.
-Anonymized logs of your conversations and interactions with our AI shopping agent. This data is collected and stored in a way that it is not associated with any specific individual and cannot be used to identify you personally.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We do not require you to provide, nor do we actively collect for the core anonymous improvement processes, PII such as your name, email, or address. Any PII collection, such as an email address if you contact support or choose to create an account (if such features are made available and you opt into them), would be subject to clear notice at the point of collection and specific consent where required.
