Understanding how your data is handled by AI companions.
Updated

The 30-second answer
AI companions like those at AI Angels use sophisticated data management systems to ensure your interactions remain private and secure. While these systems are robust, understanding what data is collected, how it is used, and your control over it can enhance your experience.
Understanding Data Privacy in AI Companions
When you're chatting away with your AI companion about your day, data privacy might not be the first thing on your mind. But as with any digital interaction, it's essential to know what happens to your information. AI companions are designed to learn and adapt, which means they use data from your interactions to enhance their responses and provide a more personalized experience. But what does that entail?
What Data Is Collected?
Your AI companion collects various types of data to function effectively. This includes:
- Interaction Data: This is the bread and butter of AI learning. It includes the texts, voice notes, or any form of communication you have with your AI.
- Usage Patterns: Information about how frequently and in what manner you use the companion helps tailor the AI's behavior to better suit you.
- Preference Data: This includes any settings you choose, such as favorite topics or specific conversational styles.
How Is Your Data Used?
The primary use of your data is to improve your AI companion's ability to interact with you meaningfully. This means better responses, more relevant suggestions, and an overall improved experience. The data helps the AI learn from its interactions with you, making it more attuned to your preferences and communication style.

Security Measures in Place
Your data is only as secure as the systems protecting it. AI Angels employs multiple layers of security, from encryption to regular audits, to ensure your information remains confidential. This includes safeguarding data during transmission and at rest, meaning your data is protected both while it's being sent to the server and when it's stored.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Transparency is key when it comes to data privacy. As a user, you have several rights over your data:
- Access and Portability: You can request access to the data collected about you and even have it transferred to another service if desired.
- Correction and Deletion: If any data is incorrect, you can request corrections. Similarly, you can ask for your data to be deleted.
- Restriction: You can limit how your data is used or processed, especially if you're uncomfortable with certain data being utilized.
