01Overview

Aiko AI Companion (the "App") is a 3D life simulation game featuring an AI character developed by Olympus Studio ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the App on iOS, Android, and desktop platforms.

The short version: Your conversations are processed by third-party AI providers in real time. We don't sell your data. Your chat history lives on your device, not on our servers. You can request data deletion at any time.

Age Restriction

Aiko AI Companion is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you are under 18, please do not use the App.

02Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Information Collected Automatically

Information We Do NOT Collect

03How We Use Your Data

We use the collected data to:

We do NOT sell your personal data. We do NOT use your chat content to train AI models. We do NOT share your chat content or personal profile with advertisers — only the device advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS / AAID on Android) is shared with Google AdMob for ad targeting, and only if you've granted tracking permission.

04Third-Party Services

To deliver Aiko's features, we share specific data with the following third-party service providers. Each service receives only the minimum data needed for its purpose.

AI Conversation

DeepInfra

Receives your messages and Aiko's personality context to generate real-time responses. Messages are processed in the moment and not retained for training.

AI Moderation & Voice

OpenAI

Used for three purposes: (1) content-safety moderation (every message checked before processing), (2) voice transcription via Whisper (audio processed in real time and discarded), and (3) fallback conversational AI when DeepInfra is unavailable. Data is not retained for training per OpenAI API terms.

Text-to-Speech

Google Cloud

Receives Aiko's response text (not your messages) to generate her voice. No personal identifiers are attached.

Analytics & Crashes

Google Firebase

Collects anonymized crash reports, performance metrics, and feature usage. Gated on your explicit consent during onboarding. Does not receive chat content.

Advertising

Google AdMob

Delivers rewarded and interstitial ads in the free version on both iOS and Android. On iOS, ad targeting uses your advertising identifier only if you grant tracking permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, you'll still see ads but they won't be personalized. You can remove ads entirely via the Remove Ads in-app purchase.

Payments

Apple / Google Play

In-app purchases are processed entirely by the platform store. Olympus Studio never sees your payment details, card numbers, or billing address.

Our Analytics Servers

Olympus Studio Backend

We collect usage metrics to improve the App: session length, feature usage, device model, selected personality traits, relationship progress, your chosen display name, and anonymized performance data. On iOS App Store builds, chat content is NOT uploaded to our servers. Analytics data is retained for up to 90 days and then automatically deleted.

05Data Storage & Security

Chat Messages

Your messages are processed in real time by DeepInfra (AI response generation) and OpenAI (content moderation). These providers do not store or train on your messages — they process them in the moment and discard them per their enterprise API terms. Your conversation history is stored only on your device and is never uploaded to Olympus Studio's servers from the iOS App Store version. You can clear your conversation history at any time from the in-app Settings.

Encryption

All data transmitted between the App and our servers (or third-party services) is protected by HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). Sensitive fields stored locally on your device are encrypted using AES-256.

Security Measures

06Data Retention

07Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at samhoustone.ca@gmail.com with the subject line "Data Request". We will respond within 30 days.

08Children's Privacy

Aiko AI Companion is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete the data.

09International Transfers

Our servers and third-party providers (DeepInfra, OpenAI, Google) are based in the United States. By using the App, you consent to your data being transferred to and processed in the United States and other jurisdictions where our providers operate, subject to the safeguards described in this Policy.

10Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the App or on our website, and we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
