This Privacy Policy explains how Tagara ("we" or "us") collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use our mobile application (the "App") and related services.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide: When you use the App, we may collect information that you provide, such as when you take photos of items in boxes, add item information, and use the app's features.
Automatically Collected Information: We may also automatically collect certain information when you use the App, such as your device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and IP address.
Sharing Data with Third-Party AI Models
We utilize third-party AI models to enhance our app’s functionality, particularly in photo analysis for item recognition. Here’s how we handle data sharing with these AI models:
Third-Party AI Models Used:
We use Google Gemini or ChatGPT-4 for photo analysis. The specific service used can change at any time, so you must agree to both terms.
By using our Tagara app, you acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions outlined in the service agreements of the third-party AI services we utilize, including Google Gemini AI and ChatGPT. These services are governed by their respective privacy policies and terms of use:
- Google Gemini AI: We comply with Google’s service agreement for Google Gemini AI, which includes guidelines on data usage, security, and user privacy. For more details, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
- ChatGPT: We adhere to the service agreement for ChatGPT provided by OpenAI, ensuring responsible and ethical use of data processed through their models. For more information, please refer to OpenAI's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Enabling AI Models: The “All AI photo analysis” setting must be enabled in the app settings menu. This setting is off by default and must be opted into. Currently, this feature is only available in beta.
Subscriptions and costs for this service may apply.
Data Shared with AI Models:When “All AI photo analysis” is turned on:
A copy of the photo is sent for object recognition.
When “All AI photo analysis” is turned off:
No photo is sent to the AI model service.
When sharing photos with Google Photos, Google may conduct its own AI modeling service, which is beyond Tagara's control.
Purpose of Sharing Data: Photos taken in the app are shared with AI models to obtain a list of recognized items in the photos, allowing the app to suggest items detected in the photo. The data returned is a best attempt at detection and the list may be inaccurate. Users need to be aware of this.
Photos taken previously are not sent to AI models.
How AI Models Use the Data: The AI models analyze the photos to identify items, improving the user experience by providing suggestions of what items are in the photos. Users can then select the items rather than typing them all.
User Control and Opt-Out Options: Users have the option to disable photo analysis within the app settings under “All AI photo analysis,” preventing their photos from being shared with AI models.
Ensuring Responsible and Ethical Use: We partner only with reputable third-party providers who adhere to strict data protection and ethical guidelines. Tagara is not responsible for how third parties handle the data given.
By agreeing to Tagara’s Privacy Policy, you accept that photos sent for AI processing with third parties are at the customer's own risk and any issues are between the customer and the third party, not Tagara. Accepting Tagara’s Privacy Policy also means you agree to the third parties' privacy policies. Tagara App acts strictly as an intermediary to provide this feature.
Other 3rd parties may also be subject to their privacy policies as well.
