Privacy policy

Who is responsible for your data

This policy explains how your personal data is handled when you use digitalboyfriend.com and the DigitalBoyfriend app (together, "the service"). The controller of your data is the administrator of the digitalboyfriend.com service. You can reach us about anything in this policy at [email protected].

We wrote this in plain language on purpose. Your conversations with him are personal, and you deserve to know exactly what happens to them.

The data we collect

We only collect what the service needs to work.

We never see or store your full card number. Card details go directly to the payment operator.

How we use your data and our legal bases

We use your data for these purposes:

• Running the service you signed up for. Your account, your boyfriend, the chat, memories, voice notes, photos, calls and reminders. The legal basis is the performance of our contract with you.
• Checking your age. The service is for adults only. The legal basis is our legal obligations and our legitimate interest in keeping minors off the service.
• Billing. Keeping your plan active and applying its limits. The legal basis is the contract and our legal obligations for tax and accounting.
• Safety. Filtering content, reviewing flagged messages and showing crisis resources when someone may be struggling. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a safe service and, where it applies, protecting someone's vital interests.
• Security and fixing problems. Protecting accounts, stopping abuse and repairing errors. The legal basis is our legitimate interest.
• Service emails. Sign-in codes, receipts and important account notices. We do not send marketing email.

If you live in a US state with its own privacy law (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia or Texas), you have the rights described below under that law too. We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

What we never do with your chats

• We never sell your chats or any other personal data.
• We never use your chats for advertising, and we do not show ads.
• We do not use your chats to train our own AI models.
• We do not read your chats for curiosity or marketing.

The only time a person may look at part of a conversation is a safety review, described below, or when you ask us for help and point us to it.

Safety review of flagged content

Messages pass through an automatic content filter. The filter keeps the service romantic but never explicit, blocks any roleplay involving minors, and spots signs that someone may be in crisis. When a message is flagged, a short record is kept (what kind of flag, which message and what the service did). We may review flagged content to enforce the terms of service, protect people from harm or respond to a lawful request. You can read more about how we keep things safe on the safety page.

Who receives your data

We use a small number of service providers to run DigitalBoyfriend. We name them by category, and each one may use your data only to provide its service to us.

• Hosting provider. Stores the service, the database and generated files on servers.
• AI model providers. Process your messages, voice notes and his settings to generate his replies, his voice and his photos. They receive what is needed for each reply, not your whole account.
• Payment operator. Handles checkout, card details, renewals and fraud checks.
• Email delivery provider. Delivers sign-in codes, receipts and account messages.

We may also disclose data when the law requires it, to protect someone's safety, or to defend legal claims.

International transfers

Some of our providers process data outside your country, including in the United States and the European Union. When data leaves the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on safeguards recognized by law, such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision, and we only work with providers that commit to protecting the data.

How long we keep your data

• Account data, chats, memories, voice notes and photos. For as long as your account exists. When you delete something, it is removed from the service.
• Billing records. For as long as tax and accounting law requires, usually several years, even after the account is deleted.
• Safety records. For as long as needed to deal with the issue and prevent repeat abuse.
• Technical logs. For a short period, usually a few weeks, unless they are needed to investigate a security problem.

Backup copies are overwritten on a rolling schedule, so deleted data disappears from them over time.

Deleting things from the app

You stay in control inside the app.

• One memory. Open what he remembers and remove it. He will not bring it up again.
• A boyfriend. Remove him from the app, and his chat and memories go with him.
• Your whole account. Go to your account and delete it. This removes your account, your boyfriends, chats, memories, voice notes and photos, and ends your subscription.

Deleting content does not restore plan limits that were already used.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy.
• Delete your data.
• Correct data that is wrong.
• Portability, which means getting your data in a common format you can take elsewhere.
• Object to processing based on our legitimate interests, or ask us to limit it.
• Withdraw consent where we rely on consent.
• Not be treated differently for using any of these rights.

To use a right, email [email protected] from the address on your account and tell us what you need. We may ask you to confirm it is you before we act. We reply within the time the law gives us, usually within 30 days in the EU and UK and 45 days under US state laws. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to your local data protection authority, or in some US states, appeal our decision by replying to it.

Adults only

DigitalBoyfriend is for adults aged 18 and over. You must give a truthful date of birth at signup. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we delete it. If you believe a minor is using the service, please tell us at [email protected].

Personal and sensitive information

People often share personal things with him, such as feelings, family matters, relationships or health. You choose what to share, and you can remove memories at any time. Please think before sharing details you would not want stored, like passwords, card numbers or another person's private information. We treat everything in your chats as confidential and protect it as described in this policy.

How we protect your data

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, sign-in codes sent by email, access limited to people who need it, and separation between accounts so no one can see another person's boyfriend or chats. No system is perfectly secure, so if we ever learn of a breach that affects you, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies. Details are on our cookies page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the service or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change matters for how your data is used, we will tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect.
