This Privacy Policy explains how Silicon Island LLC ("we," "us," or "our") handles information for the bettercurrency app, website, support, subscriptions, and related services ("bettercurrency").

By using bettercurrency, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We receive or collect information when it is sent to us or our service providers, including in these ways:

• App and Device Information: A random app-generated identifier may be sent with some server requests for rate limiting, diagnostics, and service reliability. We may also receive device, app, error, and technical information needed to operate online features.
• Camera Conversion Information: If you use camera conversion/translation, images or extracted text may be sent to our servers or service providers so we can identify prices, currencies, conversion results, and maintain and improve these features.
• Exchange Rate Information: Currency pairs, fx rate requests, timestamps, and related technical information may be processed to provide conversions and maintain rate data.
• Purchases and Subscriptions: If you purchase a subscription or in-app purchase, payment is processed by the app marketplace or its payment systems. We may receive purchase status, subscription status, entitlement, receipt, or transaction metadata. We do not receive your full payment card number.
• Website and Server Analytics: Information about visits and use, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring pages, errors, approximate location, and similar technical data.
• Support Requests: Information you choose to provide when contacting us, such as your name, email address, message content, screenshots, diagnostics, or other details needed to respond.

Local App Data

Some information may be processed or stored only on your device, conversion inputs, preferences, settings, and locale-derived currency suggestions. We do not receive or store this local-only app data on our servers unless it is included in an online feature request, support request, diagnostics, or another interaction you choose to send to us.

Location and Locale

If you enable location, bettercurrency uses your device location only to set or update local app data, such as local currency and location-based feature settings. We do not store any GPS coordinates on our servers. Website and server analytics may still process approximate location inferred from IP address as described above.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• provide currency conversions, camera conversion, OCR, translation, and related app features;
• maintain, secure, debug, and improve bettercurrency;
• manage subscriptions, purchases, entitlements, and customer support;
• understand app and website usage;
• prevent abuse, fraud, security incidents, or service misuse;
• comply with legal obligations.

Camera Images, OCR, and Translation

Camera conversion features are designed to help identify prices and currencies from images. When these features use our servers or service providers, the image, extracted text, and related context may be transmitted and processed to generate a result. You should avoid submitting images that contain sensitive personal information. These features are intended for use with menus and similar non-private data.

Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

• with service providers that help us operate bettercurrency, such as hosting, analytics, diagnostics, subscription management, app marketplace, email, support, OCR, translation, or similar providers;
• when needed to process purchases, subscriptions, refunds, support, or app marketplace requirements;
• to comply with law, legal process, or enforceable government requests;
• to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the public, bettercurrency, or Silicon Island LLC;
• in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy or reasonable successor protections.

We try to disclose categories of providers and purposes clearly without listing every vendor name unless a specific law, platform rule, or practical need requires more detail.

Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the service, maintain security, resolve disputes, comply with law, and keep appropriate business records. Retention periods may vary by data type, feature, provider, and legal requirement.

Your Choices

You can choose not to use optional features such as camera conversion. You can manage app permissions, such as camera or location permissions, through your device settings. You can manage subscriptions through the app marketplace where you purchased them.

You may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information where applicable by contacting us through the contact method listed in the website footer.

Data Security

We protect information using reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, such as encrypted connections, access controls, provider security controls, and retention limits. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

bettercurrency is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

International Processing

Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws different from those in your location.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of bettercurrency after an update means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
