# Privacy Policy — Fancy AI
**Last updated: 15 June 2026**
This Privacy Policy explains how the Fancy AI mobile application ("Fancy AI", "the app",
"we") handles your information. Fancy AI is an AI‑companion application that runs primarily
**on your device**. By using the app you agree to this policy.
Fancy AI is intended for **adults (18+)** and is not directed to children under 13.
---
## 1. Summary
- Your companions, conversations, memories, generated images, and settings are stored
**locally on your device**. We do not host an account system and we do not have a server
that receives your conversations.
- Some features are **optional** and only run if **you** turn them on and supply your own
credentials (cloud AI text models, cloud image generation, and cloud voice transcription/
speech). When you use those, the relevant content is sent directly to the **third‑party
provider you chose**, under that provider's own privacy policy.
- We do **not** collect analytics, tracking data, or crash reports.
- We do **not** sell your personal data.
---
## 2. Information stored on your device
The following are created and stored **only on your device** (in the app's private storage)
and are not transmitted to us:
- Characters/companions you create or import, and their personalities, memories, and
"dossier" data.
- Your chat messages, voice‑call transcripts, social‑feed posts, and game sessions.
- Images you generate or import, saved in the app's private media folder.
- Your settings and preferences, including any API keys you enter (stored using Android
**EncryptedSharedPreferences**).
Uninstalling the app removes this local data. You can also delete individual characters,
chats, posts, and images from within the app.
---
## 3. Optional third‑party services you enable
These are off by default and only operate when you explicitly enable them and provide your
own account/API key. When enabled, data is sent **directly from your device to the provider
you selected** — not to us:
- **Cloud AI text models** (e.g., Google Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepInfra, or any
OpenAI‑compatible endpoint you configure): the text of your prompts and the relevant
conversation context is sent to that provider to generate a reply.
- **Cloud image generation** (a server you configure, e.g. a self‑hosted endpoint): your
image prompt is sent to that endpoint.
- **Cloud voice services** (e.g., OpenAI Whisper, ElevenLabs, or Gemini for
speech‑to‑text/text‑to‑speech): your recorded audio and/or message text is sent to that
provider to transcribe or synthesize speech.
- **Model downloads:** if you configure an add‑on catalogue (e.g., a Hugging Face
repository), the app downloads model files from that URL.
Each provider processes your data under its **own** privacy policy and terms. We do not
control those services. If you prefer that nothing leave your device, use the app's
**on‑device** mode, which performs all AI inference locally with no network transmission of
your content.

## 4. Device permissions
The app requests the following permissions, each used only for its stated purpose:
- **Microphone (RECORD_AUDIO):** to capture your voice during voice calls with a companion.
- **Camera:** to let you attach photos in chats/social posts.
- **Photos/Media/Storage:** to import images you choose and to save generated images.
- **Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS):** to alert you when a companion posts and for the
background activity notification. You can decline or revoke this at any time.
- **Internet:** required only for the optional cloud features and model downloads described
above.
Audio, camera, and photo data are used for the requested action and are not uploaded to us.
---
## 5. Children
Fancy AI is intended for adults and is **not** directed to, or intended for use by, children
under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly
collect data from children.
---
## 6. Data retention and deletion
Because your content lives on your device, you control it. To delete it: remove items inside
the app, clear the app's storage in Android settings, or uninstall the app.
---
## 7. Security
API keys you enter are stored using Android's encrypted preferences. No method of storage or
transmission is 100% secure, and data sent to third‑party providers you enable is subject to
their security practices.
---
## 8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating
the "Last updated" date above.
