Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

​

Account and profile information

• Email address (if you sign up with email and password)

• Authentication identifiers (such as your Firebase user ID)

• Sign-in provider information (Google, Apple, or email and password)

• Username, optional display name, and optional profile photo

• Profile location summary (city, state, and country), when available​

User content and activity

• Discoveries you create (photos, captions or log names, notes, categories, place names, place IDs, and timestamps)

• Saved places and bookmarks

• Social activity (friend requests, friendships, likes, and comments)

• Plan and AI feature inputs (such as search or planning messages you send in the app)

• Weekly recap and related share content you generate

Photos and media

• If you grant permission, Dexi may access your device camera to capture discovery photos

• If you grant permission, Dexi may access your photo library to let you choose images or save content such as recap images to your device

• Photos you upload are stored in our cloud storage and may be processed by AI services as described below

Location information

• If you grant permission, Dexi may access device location to tag discoveries, show your position on the map, and improve nearby place results

• Coordinates (latitude and longitude) and derived address details (city, state, country, and in some cases street, zip code, or full address)

• Location may be associated with individual discoveries and, in summary form, with your profile

Purchase and subscription information

• If you purchase a subscription on iOS, Dexi uses RevenueCat to manage entitlement status and purchase restoration

• Subscription status is linked to your account ID

• Dexi does not store your full payment card details; payments are processed by Apple

Technical, device, and usage data

• App and device basics needed for operation and troubleshooting (such as platform, app version, and operational logs)

• Usage and analytics data (such as app lifecycle events and feature usage)

• API usage telemetry (such as which third-party API operations were used, success or failure, latency, and related technical metadata)

• Identifiers used for analytics and account linking (such as your account ID and, where available, your email)

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Create and manage your account

• Let you log, organize, and view discoveries

• Tag discoveries with location and place information

• Enable social features (friends, likes, comments, and leaderboards)

• Provide AI-powered features (such as photo analysis, place suggestions, planning assistance, and recaps)

• Process and restore subscription access

• Measure app performance, reliability, API usage, and feature quality

• Protect against abuse and enforce our terms

• Comply with legal obligations

Third-Party Services We Use

Dexi uses trusted third-party services to operate core features:

• Firebase (Google) for authentication, database (Firestore), and file storage

• Google APIs (Places, Geocoding, and related location services) for place search, reverse geocoding, and location features

• Google Gemini API for AI features, including image analysis, place resolution, planning assistance, and recap generation

• Mapbox for map display and related map functionality

• RevenueCat for subscription management on iOS

• PostHog for product analytics and API usage telemetry

If Firebase Analytics is enabled in our production configuration, Google may also receive analytics data associated with the app.

When these services process data, they do so under their own privacy terms and policies.

How and Why We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information:

• With service providers listed above to deliver app functionality

• With other users as part of social features. Depending on your activity and app settings, this may include your username, display name, profile photo, discovery-related content, likes, comments, friend relationships, and leaderboard information visible to other authenticated users

• If required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security

• In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets

AI Processing

When you use AI features, Dexi may send content to Google’s Gemini API for processing. This may include photos you upload, text you enter (such as planning or search messages), and contextual information such as nearby place names, categories, or time of day. We use the results to power app features. Do not submit sensitive personal information you do not want processed for these features.

Data Storage and Retention

Dexi stores data in cloud services (such as Firebase) and may also cache data locally on your device (for example, through local app storage) to improve speed and offline behavior.

We retain data as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, operate the app, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When you delete your account, we delete associated account data from our systems as described below, subject to limited retention where required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.

Your Choices and Rights

You can:

• Access and update profile information in the app

• Delete content you create, where the app supports it

• Disable location, camera, or photo library permissions in your device settings (some features may not work without them)

• Delete your account in the app from Profile. Account deletion removes associated cloud data tied to your account, including discoveries, social data, bookmarks, and stored photos, subject to technical and legal limits

• Contact us to request help with account or data questions, or to exercise privacy rights not available in the app

Depending on where you live, you may have additional legal rights (such as access, deletion, correction, portability, restriction, or objection). To exercise those rights, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

Dexi is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, when required, provide additional notice in the app or on our website.
