Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 1, 2026
Poppy (“Poppy”, “the app”, “we”, “us”) is a personal AI voice companion. This policy explains what the app does with your information. The short version: Poppy runs entirely on your device. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal data. There are no accounts, no cloud servers, and no third-party AI services.
If anything here is unclear, contact us at team@poppys.social.
The one-line summary
Everything you say to Poppy, everything she remembers, and every conversation stays on your own device. It never leaves your machine, and we never see it.
What Poppy processes, and where
All of the following happens locally on your device. None of it is sent to us or to any third party.
- Your voice (microphone). When you are on a call, Poppy uses your microphone to hear you. The audio is converted to text on your device and is not recorded, stored, or uploaded. It is discarded after it is transcribed.
- Your messages and Poppy’s replies. The conversation is generated by an AI model that runs on your device. Nothing is sent to an external server to produce a reply.
- Poppy’s voice. Her spoken replies are synthesized on your device.
- Conversation history. Your chats are stored locally on your device so the app works and you can review them. They are not uploaded.
- Memory. With your explicit consent, Poppy remembers facts you choose to save. These memories are stored locally and encrypted on your device. Each character keeps its own separate memory. You can view, edit, or delete any memory, or clear all of them, at any time in the app.
What we do NOT do
- We do not collect or receive any of your data.
- We do not transmit your voice, conversations, or memories off your device.
- We do not use accounts or logins.
- We do not use third-party AI services or share data with them.
- We do not use advertising, third-party analytics, or cross-app tracking.
- We do not sell or rent your information to anyone.
App analytics
Poppy may keep simple, content-free usage counts on your device (for example, “a call happened”) to power in-app features like your streak. These counts contain no conversation content and no personal information, and they are not transmitted off your device.
Permissions the app asks for
- Microphone. Used only during a call, only to hear you, and only on your device, as described above. You can revoke this permission in your system settings at any time.
- Notifications (optional). If you opt into a daily ritual reminder, the app schedules a local notification on your device. No notification data leaves your device.
Your control over your data
Because your data lives only on your device, you are always in control:
- Review everything Poppy remembers in the app.
- Edit or delete any individual memory.
- Clear all memories or your conversation history at any time.
- Delete everything by removing the app; this deletes all local Poppy data on that device.
Security
Saved memories are encrypted at rest on your device with industry-standard encryption, and the encryption key is stored locally and readable only by your user account. This is privacy hygiene for an on-device app. As with any software, please keep your device and operating system secure and up to date.
Children
Poppy is not directed to children. Please do not use the app if you are under the age required by the app’s App Store age rating in your region.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles your information, we will update this policy and change the effective date above. If a future version of the app ever adds an optional feature that sends any data off your device, we will disclose it clearly and ask for your consent before it is used.
