Eco Sakartvelo LLC (“we”, “us”) offers What I Recycle to help users sort household waste in line with Eco-taxi guidelines. The product includes a mobile application and a web scanner.
When you use cloud classification, your photo is transmitted so that Google’s cloud AI (Gemini) can process it under Google’s applicable Gemini API and Google Cloud terms. How Google handles requests on its infrastructure is governed by those documents. We do not use simplified legal labels (such as “processor”) for Google’s role here; the legal characterisation depends on the product configuration, agreements, and applicable law.
Photos on our side: We do not store photos in our application databases or file storage after the classification request completes. We do not use your photos for marketing, sale to third parties, or secondary processing beyond returning that classification result.
What we retain: Account-related and operational data needed to run the service (for example sign-in identifiers on the web, scan counts, and optional device-linking identifiers for shared paid scan balance), as described below.
Operator: Eco Sakartvelo LLC, operating What I Recycle for the Eco-taxi programme.
Apple App Store: The iOS app is published by Eco Sakartvelo LLC.
Google Play: The Android app may be published by an authorised Google Play publisher acting under licence from Eco Sakartvelo LLC, where required for Google Play merchant and distribution rules. Eco Sakartvelo LLC remains responsible for describing how the What I Recycle service handles personal data in this policy.

When you request cloud AI classification, your image is sent (including via our servers where applicable) so that Google’s Gemini can return a suggestion. We do not retain your image in our databases or file storage after that request completes.
If you use the web scanner with Google sign-in, we process identifiers and profile elements provided by Google (such as Google account ID, email, name, profile picture URL) only to authenticate you, enforce free scan limits, and operate linked paid balances.
Apple and Google process in-app purchases and related payment metadata (for example transaction IDs, receipts, consumable or subscription state, refunds, fraud signals) under their own terms. We do not receive full payment card numbers. We may receive purchase-related records needed to credit scan packs and to meet accounting or legal obligations.
If you link a mobile device to a web account, we may store a device identifier (or equivalent) needed to apply purchased scan balance across platforms.
If a local-only mode is offered, it will be labelled separately from cloud AI classification so users can understand whether their image is processed locally or sent for cloud AI classification.
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis, we process personal data on the following grounds:
Consent: We do not rely on consent for ordinary cloud photo classification, because submitting an image is necessary to obtain the classification result. If we introduce optional processing that is not necessary for the service, such as marketing, non-essential analytics, or model-training use of user images, we will identify the appropriate legal basis and request consent where required.
Image analysis uses Google’s cloud AI under Google’s applicable terms. We do not sell personal data. We do not share photos with unrelated third parties for their own independent purposes.
App-store privacy questionnaires use their own definitions; answers there should stay consistent with this policy.
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights including: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability, and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
To exercise these rights, contact us at parkiarminda@gmail.com or via www.eco-taxi.ge/contacts. We will respond within the timelines required by applicable law.
Because cloud AI classification in What I Recycle relies on the Google Gemini API, the cloud classification feature is not intended for users under 18. Users under 18 should not use cloud AI classification. If a local-only mode is offered, it will be labelled separately and may be subject to different age rules.
Cloud infrastructure used to provide the service (including Google’s services and our hosting) may be located outside Georgia. Google’s processing is subject to Google’s terms and policies.
We may update this policy to reflect product or legal changes. We will notify users where required by law. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do.
Other materials on eco-taxi.ge may provide programme context or general website terms for services other than What I Recycle. They do not replace Part A or Part B of this document for What I Recycle where these Parts are controlling. The canonical publication is at the URL above.
What I Recycle helps you obtain informational sorting suggestions for household waste in line with Eco-taxi guidelines. Suggestions are based on what you submit (such as a photograph). Always follow current Eco-taxi sorting information on eco-taxi.ge and any applicable local rules.
Cloud classification and age: Cloud AI classification is not intended for users under 18; see Part A, Section 6 and the applicable Google Gemini API terms.
You agree not to misuse the service (including attempting to overload systems, probing for vulnerabilities, or submitting unlawful content). We may suspend access if abuse is detected.
Personal data is processed as described in Part A of this document.
What I Recycle provides automated, informational sorting suggestions based on the information submitted by the user. Suggestions may be inaccurate or incomplete, and users should follow current Eco-taxi sorting guidelines and applicable local rules.
The service is provided “as is” to the maximum extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses arising solely from a user’s reliance on an automated sorting suggestion.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any consumer rights or other rights that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
Eco-taxi and What I Recycle branding, content, and software are protected. Do not copy or redistribute except as allowed by law or with permission.
These terms are governed by the laws of Georgia, unless mandatory consumer laws in your country provide otherwise.
We may update these terms; the “Last updated” date will change. We will provide notice where required by law.
