3. The summary is returned to your device and stored locally
4. We do not retain any copies of the data sent to or received from the API
### 4.2 Google Gemini API
The AI summarization feature utilizes Google's Gemini API service. When using this feature:

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us. However, given our local-only architecture, we would have no access to such information.
Users between 13 and 18 years of age should review these terms with a parent or guardian.

You can enhance security by:
- Enabling device passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID
- Keeping your device's operating system updated
