# App Store Connect — App Privacy Questionnaire

Use these answers in **App Store Connect → App Privacy**. They must match `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` and the live app behavior.

> **Do not select “Data Not Collected.”** The app collects user-entered text for AI features and shares it with OpenAI when live generation runs.

## Summary

| Question | Answer |
|----------|--------|
| Do you or your third-party partners collect data from this app? | **Yes** |
| Is data used to track users? | **No** |
| Is data linked to the user’s identity? | **No** |

## Data type: Other User Content

Covers text the user enters in Post Generator, Title Optimizer, and Comment Writer (topics, titles, drafts, subreddit names, post URLs, parent comments, tone preferences, NSFW/spoiler tags) and AI responses saved locally in AI History.

### For each purpose, answer:

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Data type | **Other User Content** |
| Collected | **Yes** |
| Linked to identity | **No** |
| Used for tracking | **No** |
| Purpose | **App Functionality** |

### Third-party sharing (critical)

When App Store Connect asks whether this data is shared with third parties:

| Third party | Shared? | Why |
|-------------|---------|-----|
| **OpenAI** (`api.openai.com`) | **Yes** | Live AI generation sends the user’s prompt text to OpenAI’s API. Applies to premium users and free-trial generations (up to 3 total). |
| Apple (StoreKit) | No for this data type | Subscription checks do not send AI inputs to Apple. |
| Reddit | No for this data type | Embedded Reddit browsing is direct user ↔ Reddit interaction; the app does not extract or transmit Reddit browsing data to its own servers. |

For **OpenAI** sharing details:

- **Shared for App Functionality** — generating post titles, bodies, optimized titles, and comments.
- **Not used for tracking or advertising.**
- **Not linked to user identity** — prompts are not accompanied by name, email, Apple ID, or a persistent user identifier.

## What is NOT collected by the app

Declare **only** what applies. Do **not** add these unless behavior changes:

- Contact Info, Identifiers, Location, Browsing History, Purchases, Diagnostics, Usage Data, Sensitive Info
- No third-party analytics SDKs (Amplitude, Firebase, etc.)
- No advertising networks

## After uploading a build

1. Open **App Privacy** in App Store Connect.
2. Confirm the privacy manifest from the build populated **Other User Content**.
3. If answers were previously set to “Data Not Collected,” reset and re-answer using this guide.
4. Under **Other User Content → App Functionality**, enable **third-party sharing** and list processing by OpenAI.
5. Save and verify the App Privacy label preview shows **Data Not Linked to You → Other User Content**.
