AI Companion Privacy: What to Know Before You Sign Up
AI girlfriend and companion apps handle sensitive conversations. Before you sign up, it’s worth checking how they handle your data and your wallet.
What they store.
Most platforms need to store your chat history and preferences so the AI can remember you and stay in character. The question is: where is it stored, who can access it, and how long is it kept? Look for a privacy policy on the site—ideally one that states clearly what data is collected, how it’s used, and whether it’s shared or sold. Prefer apps that say they don’t sell your data and that use encryption for conversations.
Discreet billing.
Many users don’t want “AI girlfriend” or the app name on their bank or card statement. Several platforms use neutral merchant names (e.g. a generic company name) so the charge isn’t obviously tied to an adult or dating product. We mention this in reviews where it applies (e.g. Candy AI, GoLove AI). If it matters to you, check the site’s FAQ or support before subscribing.
Account and device.
Use a strong, unique password. If the app offers two-factor authentication, turn it on. Avoid reusing the same password you use for email or banking. If you share a device, consider a separate profile or app lock so others can’t open the app by accident.
Terms of service.
Skim the terms of service as well as the privacy policy. They often cover what’s allowed (e.g. content rules), what happens if you break the rules, and how you can delete your account and data. Some apps let you export or delete your data; that’s a good sign.
No app is 100% risk-free.
Any service that stores your chats and payment info could be breached or misused. The goal is to pick platforms that are transparent and take privacy seriously, and to avoid sharing more than you’re comfortable with. We don’t give legal advice—when in doubt, read the policy and, if needed, ask the company directly.
