AI Policy.

AI features are optional — every AI interaction is triggered by you. Different Services include different AI features. As an illustrative example, the AI features currently available in Lysta are:

Lysta does not currently include an AI chat assistant. If one launches in the future, it will be added to this table (and to the Privacy Policy) before it ships.

AI features in future Services will be documented in this Policy when they launch, or in a product-specific AI notice surfaced inside that Service.

We send the data described in Section 1 to trusted third-party AI service providers for processing. These providers operate as our subprocessors and are bound by written agreements that require them to:

• Process data only to provide the requested AI service to us.
• Apply industry-standard security controls.
• Not use your inputs or outputs to train their general AI models.

We select providers based on capability, security posture, and privacy commitments, and we may change providers from time to time. If you need to know which providers we currently use — for example, to fulfill a data-protection request or a compliance review — contact support@yourfriendbl.com.

• We do not use your lists, items, notes, voice recordings, or photos to train any AI model — ours or any third party's.
• We do not sell AI inputs or outputs.
• We do not use AI to make legally significant automated decisions about you (e.g., credit, employment, insurance).
• Shopping Insights never sends another household member's identity, raw list content, or item notes to the AI provider — only aggregated statistics computed on your device.

• Voice recordings are deleted from our servers shortly after transcription completes. The resulting list items (and a record of the activity) are kept as part of your AI activity history under your account.
• Photos sent for photo/receipt scanning are deleted from our servers after item extraction completes.
• Your AI activity history (voice and photo scans) is stored under your account so you can review past results. You can delete individual entries from this history at any time from inside the app.
• Shopping Insights reports are not stored on our servers or in the app between sessions — each report is generated fresh from your current data when you request it.
• Price Finder searches (query and approximate region) are not retained beyond what's needed to return the result.
• AI providers may retain inputs/outputs for a short period (typically up to 30 days) for abuse monitoring before deletion. We use providers that contractually limit this retention.

AI features in Lysta are provided for convenience only. AI output:

• May be incomplete, inaccurate, biased, or out of date.
• Should not be relied on for medical, dietary, allergen, financial, legal, or safety-critical decisions.
• Does not replace professional advice (doctor, dietitian, lawyer, accountant, etc.).

You are responsible for verifying AI output before relying on it. For example, double-check ingredient lists, allergen information, price extractions from receipts, and any health-related suggestions.

You agree not to use Lysta's AI features to:

• Generate content that violates third-party rights or applicable law.
• Generate harmful, harassing, hateful, sexual content involving minors, or violent extremist content.
• Attempt to extract or reconstruct the AI provider's model, training data, or system prompts.
• Probe the system for vulnerabilities, jailbreaks, or prompt injections used to circumvent safety controls.

We may block or rate-limit AI features for accounts that misuse them.

You can:

• Use our Services without AI — every AI feature is optional. The core functionality of each Service (such as lists, groups, and sharing in Lysta) works without AI.
• Disable microphone, camera, or location permissions in your device settings to prevent voice-, photo-, or location-based AI features from working.
• Delete AI history from within the Service that stores it (for example, in Lysta: open the AI tab → history → delete, individually or in bulk).
• Delete your account — this removes your stored AI history along with the rest of your data, subject to the retention rules in the Privacy Policy.

AI features are intended for users 13 and older (or the higher digital-consent age in your jurisdiction). If you are under that age, do not use AI features without parental supervision and consent. See the Children's Privacy section of the Privacy Policy.

We may update this AI Policy when we change AI providers, add new AI features, or update our handling practices. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top and may provide additional in-app notice for material changes.
