Guardian Angel is a forward-thinking application developed in partnership with Google, utilizing Firebase Studio and its integrated AI code assistant. This collaboration allows us to build, iterate, and innovate rapidly, ensuring we can deliver a high-quality, secure, and effective tool for survivors.

Firebase Studio is a development environment provided by Google that helps create web applications. It provides the foundational tools and infrastructure upon which Guardian Angel is built.

The AI assistant within Firebase Studio acts as a collaborative partner in the development process. It assists our team with writing, debugging, and optimizing the application's code. It is important to distinguish this from the AI features available to you within the platform: - Development AI: Helps build the platform itself (the code, user interface, and features). It does not have access to any user data. - In-Platform AI Features: These are the tools you interact with, such as the 'AI Pattern Analysis' or 'Consent Reflection'. As outlined in our Privacy Policy, these features process only the specific information you provide for that feature and do not store it long-term.

This innovative development approach enables us to focus on what matters most: creating a powerful, private, and supportive resource for the Guardian Angel community. We believe in being transparent about how we build our tools, and this policy is part of that commitment.
