The short answer
AI girlfriend apps like AI Angels collect data to personalize your experience, but you have control over what is shared. We prioritize your privacy by minimizing data collection and giving you clear options to manage it. This article explains the types of data collected, why it is needed, and how you can adjust your settings.
What data does an AI girlfriend app collect?
Most AI companion apps gather basic account information such as your email address and username. They may also store conversation history to improve responses and remember your preferences. Some apps collect usage data like how often you chat or which features you use. At AI Angels, we limit data to what is essential for the service to function.

Why does your AI companion need this data?
Data helps the AI learn your communication style, interests, and emotional needs. Without some data, the AI cannot provide personalized interactions. For example, remembering that you enjoy certain topics makes conversations more engaging. However, we do not sell your data or use it for unrelated purposes.

How does AI Angels protect your privacy?
We use encryption for data in transit and at rest. Your conversations are stored securely and are not shared with third parties. You can delete your chat history at any time. Our privacy policy is transparent about what we collect and why. For a detailed comparison of privacy approaches, see our article on ai-girlfriend-vs-replika-comparison.

How to control your data in the app
You can access your privacy settings from the account menu. Options include turning off data collection for personalization, deleting specific conversations, or exporting your data. We recommend reviewing these settings regularly. To understand how AI companionship differs from real relationships, check out ai-girlfriend-vs-real-girlfriend.
What data is NOT collected
AI Angels does not collect sensitive information like your real name, address, or financial data. We do not access your contacts, photos, or location unless you explicitly enable a feature. The app does not use tracking cookies for advertising. Your privacy is built into the design.
Third-party data sharing
We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own use. Limited data may be processed by trusted service providers (e.g., cloud hosting) under strict confidentiality agreements. You can find a list of these providers in our privacy policy. We never sell your data.
Tips for maintaining your privacy
Use a unique username and avoid sharing personal identifiers. Review your privacy settings every few months. If you are concerned about data retention, you can set conversations to auto-delete after a period. For more guidance, the Electronic Frontier Foundation offers resources on digital privacy (https://www.eff.org/issues/privacy).
