Privacy and discretion on adult AI girlfriend apps

This page describes policies, not content. It is for adults 18 and over.

The email you sign up with

Receipts, password resets and newsletters all go to the address on the account, so that address is what ties the app to you. If you would rather the app never appeared in your main inbox, sign up with a separate address you keep for apps and subscriptions.

Some apps let you try them before you give any email at all. heyGF.AI gives 5 messages a day with no account, and a free account, with 30 messages a day, needs no card.

What your card statement shows

Every card charge carries a billing name, called a descriptor, and it can differ from the app's name. Secrets AI's wiki says its charges show as "S LABS INC". For other apps, search the help pages for the billing name or ask support before you pay.

Some apps take other ways to pay:

• heyGF.AI takes cards on every plan and crypto on purchases of $19.99 and up, charged once with no auto-renewal.
• Candy AI lists cards, crypto, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer.
• Secrets AI takes Visa, Mastercard and Discover cards and crypto, with a $20 minimum for crypto.

A crypto purchase stays off your card statement, but the wallet or exchange you pay from keeps its own record. Apple Pay and Google Pay still charge your card.

Chats, pictures and deleting your account

Your chats are stored on the app's servers so the companion can reply and remember you. Find the deletion instructions before you need them: search the help pages for "delete account", and check whether deleting the account also removes your chats and pictures.

Two details worth knowing. OurDream says that if you unsubscribe, your images and videos are blurred until you subscribe again, so they remain on your account. And a company sale can move your data to a new owner: Character.AI's notice about its Chapter 11 sale does not say what happens to users or their data.

Whatever the app, leave out what would identify you if the chats ever leaked: your surname, your employer, your street and photos of your face.

Screenshots and your photo library

Anything on the screen can be captured, by you or by anyone holding your phone. Screenshots and saved pictures go into your photo library, and many phones copy that library to a cloud backup automatically. If you save pictures from a companion app, check where your photos back up and who else can see that account.

Your phone: locks, notifications and icons

• Lock the phone with a code, so nobody can open the browser tab the chat lives in.
• Turn off notification previews for the app or the browser. Candy AI's web app can send push notifications, and a preview can show on the lock screen.
• Use a private window on a shared computer. It forgets your login when you close it.
• Decide about the home-screen icon. A web app added to the home screen shows its icon and name like any other app. If you would rather it did not, open it from the browser or a bookmark instead. heyGF.AI works either way. How web apps work.

heyGF.AI's privacy facts

• It runs in the browser, so nothing is installed from an app store.

• Crypto is accepted on purchases of $19.99 and up, charged once with no auto-renewal.
