Privacy Policy

Overview

Aether AI provides text and voice conversations with four artificial intelligence personalities, each available as male and female fictional adult profiles. The profile age and gender describe the AI character, not the user.

Operator: Not configured (development draft). Hosting: Not configured (development draft). Primary application data region: Not configured (development draft). Transactional email provider: Not configured.

Information we process

We store your email, display name, hashed password, acceptance of the AI disclosure, email confirmation status, hashed verification/reset links, text messages, explicitly saved memories, usage totals and reports you submit. Session credentials are hashed on the server; the app encrypts its saved credential with Android Keystore.

Local chat cache and voice wallet

The Android app caches recent messages in an encrypted SQLite snapshot for offline reading. Snapshots use Android Keystore and are cleared on sign-out. We store voice balances, reservations and completed top-up records. Google Play processes payments; the application does not receive card or UPI credentials. The backend verifies and consumes Play purchase tokens, stores a token digest to prevent duplicate credit, and does not persist raw purchase tokens. Account deletion unlinks these receipt digests and purchase records from the deleted account. Unlinked receipt digests are retained to prevent replay of previously credited purchases.

Google Gemini processing

Your messages, a bounded recent conversation and saved memories are sent to Google Gemini to generate replies. During calls, microphone audio and saved memories are streamed to Gemini. Our backend does not record audio or save routine call transcripts. Live captions exist in app memory. If you submit a voice report, the selected transcript excerpt and comments are saved for developer review.

Production AI access requires the developer to confirm an active paid Google project. Under Google's paid API terms, prompts and responses are not used to improve its products; Google may retain them temporarily for abuse prevention and required legal disclosures and may process data internationally. Google's own terms and processing practices also apply. Read Gemini terms .

Purposes and access

Data is used to operate accounts, generate responses, retrieve approved memories, enforce usage limits, investigate reports and handle deletion. Authorized developers review reported content. We do not sell data, include advertising SDKs or track precise location. The hosting and transactional email providers named above process the data necessary to operate the service. Emails carry confirmation and recovery links; they do not contain chat content. Your birth date is checked for adult eligibility during registration and is not stored.

Your controls and retention

Text history and memories remain until you delete them or your account. Each gender profile has its own text history. Clearing chat does not clear memories or previously submitted reports. Account deletion removes the account, sessions, chats, memories, usage, reports, recovery links and request-deduplication records from the active application database. Request-deduplication records expire after at most 24 hours and are also removed when you clear chat.

Backup retention has not been confirmed for this development build. Backups are restricted to disaster recovery. Operators must apply previous deletion requests before putting restored data into service. Application-database deletion is immediate; backup copies expire separately. Provider-side security retention is governed separately by Google's terms.

Microphone and security

Android microphone permission is requested only after you agree to start a call. Calls stop when the app leaves the foreground. Production connections must use HTTPS/WSS. Never share payment credentials, government identifiers, medical records or other highly sensitive information in chats or memories. AI responses may be inaccurate.

Children and deletion

This service is for adults and is not designed for children. You can delete individual memories, clear text history, or permanently delete your account in Settings or through the external deletion page . For privacy questions or access problems, contact the developer at the contact below.

Privacy requests and updates

Use the published support/privacy contact to ask about access to your information, corrections, deletion or other privacy requests. Do not send passwords. We may need to verify account ownership before acting. Material changes will be explained in the app and fresh consent requested where applicable. The policy version and update date appear above.

Policy website

Our public policy pages on whiskerbyte.in are served through Firebase Hosting. Opening them sends ordinary website request information, such as your IP address, browser information and requested page, to the hosting provider to deliver and secure the website. The policy pages contain no advertising, analytics scripts or externally loaded fonts. Visiting the policy website does not upload your app conversations. Opening the secure account-deletion form contacts the app backend separately.

Operator & contact

Development draft: developer identity and support contact must be configured before release.
