Academia AI is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use the application.
By using Academia AI, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
To provide and improve our services, we may collect the following categories of information:
Your data is used only to operate and improve the application, including:
We do not sell or rent your personal data.
Academia AI uses artificial intelligence technologies (Google Gemini) to provide features such as:
When you use AI features, the content you provide (such as text, images, or documents) is sent to Google Gemini for processing in order to generate results. This data is processed transiently and is not used to train or improve Google's AI models. Google's privacy policy applies to this processing.
You should not share sensitive personal information through AI chat features. AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies and should be reviewed before use.
To operate the application, we rely on trusted third-party service providers:
Each service operates under its own privacy policy and may process data as required to provide their functionality. We encourage you to review their policies.
Academia AI displays advertisements through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use the following data to serve relevant ads:
On iOS, the app requests permission via App Tracking Transparency to access your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) for personalized advertising. You may choose to opt out of tracking, in which case you will still see ads but they may be less relevant to you.
We also collect non-personal usage analytics (feature consumption counters) to enforce subscription limits and improve the application. This data is tied to your account and is not shared with third parties for behavioral advertising purposes.
You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of interest-based ads at any time through your device settings.
Academia AI offers optional subscription plans (Medium and Pro) that provide access to additional features and higher usage limits. Subscription management is handled by RevenueCat and payments are processed through the Google Play Store (Android) and Apple App Store (iOS).
We do not store or process payment card details. All payment information is handled securely by the app store and RevenueCat.
Your data is stored on Supabase cloud servers, which are primarily located in the United States. If you are accessing the app from outside the United States, your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or other regions with data protection laws, we ensure that appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place for the transfer of your data.
You can delete individual files, conversations, and subjects at any time within the app. When you delete your account, all data associated with your account will be permanently removed from our servers within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal or security purposes.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These include:
In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you through the application or via email within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident, in accordance with applicable law.
However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. We recommend using strong, unique passwords and enabling email verification for your account.

If we become aware that a child under the applicable age has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe we may have collected data from a child, please contact us.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. If significant changes occur, we will notify users through the application or by updating the "Last updated" date above.
