Privacy explained

Are AI companions private?

Not completely. AI companion chats may be hidden from other users, but the operator can still process conversation history, memories, voice transcripts, generated media, and account data. Treat the service as stored cloud software, not an anonymous encrypted messenger.

Safer checklist

  • ✓Read the current privacy policy and retention section before starting intimate chats.
  • ✓Use a separate email address and a username that does not identify you.
  • ✓Check whether memory, chat history, generated media, and voice transcripts have separate deletion controls.
  • ✓Confirm the billing descriptor and renewal date directly in checkout.
  • ✓Request account deletion when leaving and retain the confirmation.

Avoid these mistakes

  • ×Assuming a one-to-one chat is end-to-end encrypted.
  • ×Sharing legal names, addresses, workplace details, financial data, or precise location.
  • ×Uploading identifiable intimate images or another person's personal data.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI companion companies read my chats?

Policies vary, but operators may process chats for memory, moderation, security, support, or product operation. Do not assume only you can access the content.

Does deleting an AI companion account delete every message?

Not always immediately. Policies may permit backup, legal, fraud-prevention, or transaction retention, so confirm the scope and timing of deletion.

Are AI companion voice calls stored?

Handling varies. Some services transcribe voice and delete raw audio while retaining transcripts; others provide less detail. Check the current voice-data section.

Does discreet billing make AI companion use anonymous?

No. A neutral statement descriptor does not hide emails, browser history, notifications, device permissions, or the account itself.
