AI companion conversations can be personal. Before you share details, it is worth understanding what a platform may collect and how to limit exposure. This guide is general: always read the platform's own policy.
What data may be involved
- Account data such as email address and login method.
- Conversation content, including messages and any images or voice you send.
- Generated content tied to your account, such as images of characters you created.
- Payment and billing records handled by the platform or a payment provider.
- Technical data such as device information and usage analytics.
What to check in the policy
- Whether conversations are used to train AI models, and whether you can opt out.
- Who can see your characters. Some platforms make created characters public by default.
- How long data is kept and how to request deletion.
- Which third parties process data, such as payment providers and AI model vendors.
- Where the company is based and which privacy law applies.
Billing privacy
Payment descriptors on bank statements vary. Where a platform describes a neutral statement name, we record that as a statement the company makes, not as a guarantee. Check your own statement after the first charge.
Habits that reduce risk
- Use a dedicated email address and a unique password.
- Avoid sharing real names, addresses, workplaces or financial details in chats.
- Assume anything you upload may be stored.
- Know how to delete your account before you create one.

It depends on the platform. Read its policy for who can access conversations and how data is used, and treat chats as potentially stored.
