READING RULE
Controls beat adjectives.
We record whether a user can delete, export, or manage data and what the controlling policy says. Words such as private, secure, or encrypted are not treated as an independent audit.
POLICY SCORECARD · NO LEGAL GRADE
What happens to the things
you tell an AI companion?
A source-linked comparison of deletion, export, model-training disclosures, retention language, and user controls.
POLICY REVIEW
This is a factual policy comparison, not a legal opinion, penetration test, or security certification.
DIRECT ANSWER
Privacy controls vary materially across companion apps.
Some products provide self-service export and deletion. Others require email. Several policies describe using conversations or user content to improve or train models, while retention language and deletion timelines differ.
| Product | Account deletion | Export | Chat deletion | Training/use disclosure | Key note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DearHim | Self-service; delete/anonymize within 30 days | Portable export right | Individual or full history | Improve AI described | Does not sell data; SMS opt-out |
| Replika | Self-service | Rights request | Full history requires account deletion | Third-party model providers addressed | Memory items can be edited/deleted |
| Nomi | Self-service; about 28 days | Transfer right depends on law | Not verified | Aggregate anonymized learning described | Policy asks users not to add PII |
| Kindroid | Delete companions/account data | Email request; once/180 days | Messages cannot currently be deleted | See legal policy | Some logistical data retained |
| Character.AI | Self-service | Self-service | Not verified | Improving AI models described | Voice recordings may be collected |
| Candy.ai | Deletion request | Rights request | Marketing claims controls | Legal notice governs | Retention periods described |
| CHAI | Self-service | Rights request | Not verified | Free-tier advertising described | Some retention up to five years after deletion |
| Talkie | Self-service | Profile-data export page | Account deletion erases conversations | Personalization/advertising uses described | Export page does not list chats |
| CrushOn.AI | Self-service/email | Not verified | Private by default | Chats may train models | Three-day recovery window described |
| Dippy | Email cancellation | Rights request | Not verified | Chat service-provider disclosure | Public/private content distinction matters |
| Dokichat | Email request | Rights request | Not verified | Chats may train models | Policy includes sensitive user-content categories |
A product’s marketing page can be simpler than its controlling privacy policy. Read the linked policy before sharing sensitive information.
BOUNDARY
This is not a security ranking.
The scorecard does not inspect infrastructure, encryption implementations, employee access, breach history, or legal compliance. It compares public controls and disclosures only.
PRIMARY SOURCES
Check the evidence yourself.
Product terms change. These links are the public sources used for this release; checkout and logged-in features can still differ by region or platform.
THE COMPARISON IS ONE MOMENT
Choose the controls you understand—and the companion you actually want to talk to.
DearHim publishes its data controls and gives you a companion built for continuity, not a one-off chat window.
