Your story stays yours.
People share some of the most private moments of their lives with Aimee. Here is how we protect them, in plain language.
- We never sell your information
- No AI is trained on your chats or content
- Signed-in chats are not stored by our AI provider
- No one at Aimee Says reads your content unless you ask
Not just another AI chatbot
Aimee runs on AI, but it isn't an open, general-purpose chat app. It was built for people who need to keep a private record of what's happening in a hard relationship, and the privacy rules around it are much tighter.
| Aimee Says (signed in) | Many general AI chat apps | |
|---|---|---|
| Training AI on your words | Never. Our agreement with our AI provider prohibits it. | Often on by default unless you find the setting and opt out. |
| Copies kept by the AI company | None. Our AI provider works under zero data retention: it answers, then keeps nothing. | Chats may be kept for weeks or longer, sometimes even after you delete them. |
| People reading your chats | No one, in the ordinary course. We only look at your content to help you, and only when you ask. | Staff or contractors may review some conversations. |
| Ads and tracking | No ad trackers. No Meta, Google Ads, TikTok or Reddit pixels, and we never sell your information. | Varies by app. |
| What it's built for | Keeping a private, organized record of what happened, with Events, Binders and My Story. | General questions on any topic. |
| Deleting everything | A few taps in Settings, and it happens right away. | Varies, and deleted chats may be kept for a period. |
General AI apps differ and change their policies often. Before sharing personal details with any AI tool, check its privacy settings. One exception applies to Aimee too: if our AI provider's systems flag an uploaded image as possible child sexual abuse material, the provider keeps that image for review. More on this below.
An account gets you the strongest protection
You can try Aimee without an account. Anonymous chat works a little differently behind the scenes.
Zero data retention
- Our AI provider doesn't store your conversations, including in its abuse-monitoring logs
- Your record is saved to your account, so you can come back to it
- You control it: export it or wipe it whenever you choose
- You can sign up under a pseudonym
Private, but not zero retention
- We delete your chat from Aimee Says within 24 hours
- Our AI provider's automated safety systems may keep an encrypted copy. People at the provider don't read it unless the law requires it, and it's never used to train AI.
- The copy becomes unreadable after 30 days, when the encryption keys are destroyed
- Because there's no account, we can't find or delete that copy for you
You decide when it's gone
Go to Settings → Security. Your signed-in session confirms it's you, so there are no extra forms.
Simple steps that protect your record
Our protections only go so far if someone else can get into your device or email. These habits help.
- Use an email only you can openPassword resets and account notices go there.
- Turn on multi-factor authenticationIt's available on every account, and it stops someone who guesses your password.
- Use a password you don't use anywhere elseIf you sign in with Google, make sure that Google account is yours alone.
- Don't share your loginTo share part of your record, export a Binder rather than handing over your account.
- Lock the appIn the mobile app, turn on the PIN or biometric lock if your phone supports it.
- On a shared device, sign outA private or incognito window helps keep Aimee out of your browser history.
- Know how to leave quicklyOn our website, tap Quick Exit or press Escape twice.
- Worried a device is being monitored?Use a device the other person has never had access to. TechSafety.org has more guidance.
If you're in a court case, or expect one
Aimee is a closed AI built to help you prepare for legal matters. Your record stays in your account and is never used to train AI. Conversations with Aimee aren't automatically privileged, though, so in a case the other side may ask for what you've written. If that happens, you and your attorney can argue it should be protected.
Talk to your attorney early
Ask what to record, how to record it, and what to share. They know the rules where you live.
Add your attorney to your account
Invite your attorney as a Team member so they can see your record and help you prepare. Team members see everything in your account, so only invite people you trust.
Argue for protection
Because Aimee is a closed AI used for legal preparation, ask your attorney about arguing that your records are protected: as private, as attorney work product, or under attorney-client privilege, depending on what's available to you.
Stick to what happened
Dates, times, places, who was there, and what was said or done. Aimee is also a place to think out loud. If you want to keep personal reflections separate, ask your attorney how.
Keep the originals
Save original texts, emails, photos and files in their original place too. Copies in Aimee may not carry all of their details, and we can't promise anything will be accepted in court.
If someone asks us for your data
We require valid legal process, and law enforcement needs a warrant for your content. We push back on overbroad requests, and we tell you before handing anything over unless the law forbids it.

Documenting what happened, safely
Many people use Aimee to record harm done to them or to their children. A few rules keep that safe and legal.
Intimate images shared without your consent
If someone shared, posted or threatened to share intimate images of you, you can save those images, and screenshots of where they appeared, to your own private account. This is allowed even if the other person appears in them. The images must show only adults, and Aimee can't be used to send or publish them.
Never upload sexual images of a child
Not even to preserve them. Possessing or sharing them is a crime in most places, whatever the reason. Uploaded images are scanned automatically, and flagged images are kept for review and may be reported. Instead, report them to the NCMEC CyberTipline (1-800-843-5678). In Aimee, you can write down what happened, that the material exists, and when and to whom you reported it.
