What we do NOT do

AI processing

Your messages are processed by AI model providers acting as our processors to generate replies, extract memories, and score conversation safety. Safety systems screen conversations for prohibited content; content that violates child-safety laws is preserved as evidence and reported to NCMEC as required by law.

Your controls

Legal bases (GDPR)

Contract performance (providing the service), legitimate interest (safety, fraud prevention), consent (notifications, optional features), and legal obligation (child-safety reporting).

Sharing

Service providers only, bound by data-processing agreements: cloud hosting (Google Firebase), AI model providers (Anthropic), and payment processing (Apple). We will update this list if providers change.

Retention

Chat and memory data: until you delete it or your account. Transaction records: as required by tax law. Safety evidence: as required by law.
