Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 17, 2026

Panda Social ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide you with the best experience:

• Chat Messages: Your conversations with Panda are stored locally on your device. We do not store your messages on our servers.
• Profile Photo: If you choose to add a profile photo, it is stored locally on your device only.
• Device Permissions: We may request access to your camera, microphone, and notifications to enable app features. These permissions are optional.

2. Third-Party AI Services

Panda Social uses third-party AI services (powered by Groq) to generate chat responses. When you send a message, your conversation context is sent to the AI service to generate a reply. Please note:

• The AI service processes your messages to generate responses.
• The AI service may experience occasional downtime or delays, which can affect response availability.
• We do not control how the third-party AI service processes data beyond what is described in their own privacy policies.

3. Data Storage

All your personal data, including chat history, preferences, and profile photos, are stored locally on your device. We do not maintain external databases containing your personal information. Deleting the app or using the "Delete Account" feature will permanently remove all locally stored data.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except as necessary to provide the AI chat functionality described above.

5. Children's Privacy

Panda Social is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

6. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. Since data is stored locally on your device, the security of your data depends in part on the security of your device.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
