We do not synchronise this data to our servers unless you explicitly trigger a sync action. - Crash & Diagnostic Data: In the event of an application error, limited diagnostic information (stack traces, device OS version) may be collected to help us identify and fix bugs. This data contains no personally identifiable information.

5Data Storage & Security
5.1 Where Your Data Is Stored
- On-Device: Your analysis history, app preferences, and subscription state are stored locally on your device using encrypted shared preferences. This data remains on your device unless you uninstall the app.
- In Transit: Chart images are transmitted over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+) to our API and onwards to Anthropic's servers. Images are not persistently stored on our infrastructure after analysis is complete unless you use an explicit save feature.
- Server-Side: Aggregated usage metrics (analysis count, subscription tier) may be stored on our backend to enforce limits and prevent abuse. This data is pseudonymised and not linked to identifiable individuals.
5.2 Security Measures
- All data in transit is encrypted using TLS.
- Our backend API requires authenticated requests using secure tokens.
- We apply principle-of-least-privilege access controls to our infrastructure.
- We regularly review our security practices and update them as the threat landscape evolves.
6Device Permissions
ChartlyticAI requests the following device permissions. Each permission is requested only when needed and can be managed in your device settings at any time.
| Permission | Platform | Why It's Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Internet | Android | Required to send chart images to the analysis API and receive results. |
| Camera | Android iOS | Allows you to capture a live screenshot of a chart directly within the app. You may decline this and use gallery upload instead. |
| Read External Storage / Media Images | Android | Allows you to select a saved chart image from your device gallery for analysis. |
| Photo Library | iOS | Allows you to select a saved chart image from your iOS Photos app for analysis. |
Denying camera or storage permissions will limit your ability to upload charts but will not prevent you from using other app features. You can update these permissions at any time through your device's Settings → Apps → ChartlyticAI.
