Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 13-03-2026
App Name: Pretend AI 
Provider: Birthday Girl
Support Email: birthdaygirl0121@gmail.com
Platform: iOS

​

1) Summary

  • No accounts required. 

  • Conversations/personas are stored locally on your device (SQLite). 

  • When you send a message, persona + message history are transmitted to your backend to generate an AI reply via OpenRouter/OpenAI. 

  • No ads and no analytics SDKs. 

  • Subscriptions are managed via RevenueCat + Apple StoreKit 2. 

​

2) Information You Provide

A) Persona data (local storage)

You may enter:

  • persona name/role, relationship, communication styles, traits, backstory/additional context, realism level. 

B) Messages (local storage)

Messages you type and AI replies are stored locally as message rows associated with a conversation. 

C) Optional avatar photo (local file)

If you choose an avatar photo, the image is copied into the App’s Documents directory and referenced by a local file path. 
Note: The avatar file may remain on disk even if you delete a conversation. 

​

3) What Is Stored Locally

The App stores:

  • SQLite database (chat_simulator.db) containing conversations + messages. 

  • Preferences such as theme, accent, onboarding state, and daily message counter. 

  • Avatar images saved in the App’s Documents directory (if selected). 

​

4) What Is Sent Over the Network (AI Requests)

When you send a message, the App sends an HTTPS request to your backend with:

  • the persona object (excluding avatar path and chat theme index), and

  • the full conversation message history (user + AI messages). 

Your backend calls OpenRouter, which routes to OpenAI GPT-4o Mini to generate a reply, then returns the reply text to the App. 

​

5) What We Do NOT Send

The App does not send:

  • your avatar photo files,

  • device identifiers,

  • location,

  • contacts,

  • microphone/camera data,

  • analytics events. 

​

6) Server-Side Storage Policy (Stateless Processing)

The backend is designed to be stateless and does not store persona or conversation content beyond processing a request. 
However, third parties involved in delivery (hosting platforms, AI routing/model providers) may have their own logging/retention practices. See “Third Parties” below.

​

7) Subscriptions and Purchases

Purchases are handled through Apple. RevenueCat manages subscription status/entitlements and receives Apple receipt/subscription status data. RevenueCat does not receive your message content or persona data. 

​

8) Third Parties

The App uses these third parties for specific purposes: 

  • Railway: hosts backend API (processes payload in transit)

  • OpenRouter: routes AI requests

  • OpenAI (via OpenRouter): generates AI responses

  • RevenueCat: subscription management (receipt/entitlement)

  • Apple StoreKit 2: billing and payment processing

Their privacy policies apply to their processing.

​

9) Permissions

The App requests photo library access only to let you choose an avatar image. The App does not request camera, microphone, location, contacts, notifications, Bluetooth, or local network access. 

​

10) Data Retention and Deletion

  • Delete a conversation: removes conversation + messages from the local database. 

  • Avatar image files: may remain on device storage even after deleting a conversation. 

  • Delete the App: removes all local data (database, preferences, avatar files). 

​

11) Security

Your content is stored on your device. You are responsible for device security (passcode/Face ID, OS updates). Network requests use HTTPS. 

​

12) Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us via support email, contact birthdaygirl0121@gmail.com.

​

13) Your Rights / Requests

Because most content is stored locally and we do not run user accounts, we typically cannot access, retrieve, or delete your on-device conversations for you.
If you email support, we may store that correspondence and can delete it on request.

​

14) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. The Effective Date will change and the updated policy will be made available in the App and/or store listing.
