The developer claims I’m reviewing the wrong app, but I’m not. I don’t need to use the app to respond to YOUR privacy policy even if matters no longer apply. Thank you.
Does OpenAI delete personal messages? Deletion doesn’t count as data collection, but processing data through your app or services does. The data usage issue persists. Other companies use the App Store’s “usage data” marker, but this developer avoids mentioning it. Data collection is data collection, and the anonymity of the usage data remains unmentioned.
Transparency surpasses data collection for me. Apple offers transparency, but companies overlook it due to the absence of “personal data.” Your in-app AI, regardless of processing or deletion, constitutes data collection, even if brief and self-resolving.
Previous review:
Privacy policy doesn’t align with the App Store’s guidelines: no data collection. It saves conversations with AI and collects “usage data.” Both can be displayed in the App Store as “data not linked to you.” I’d like to review other exceptional companies’ privacy policies, but I’m starting to understand the loophole. I’ll continue to provide 1-star reviews until these companies rectify their issues. It’s similar to Yelp: you can’t delete or purchase honest reviews. Therefore, this 1-star rating will remain. Get your act together.

Response from developer
Hi @adon, It looks like you may have reviewed the wrong app. Our Apple App does not use AI, and we do not collect any user data. While we briefly tested AI Chat features on our Android version, all data was stored locally on the user's device, ensuring complete privacy. We take privacy very seriously, especially as a company based in Europe, where strict regulations protect users and user data. We encourage you to explore the app yourself to see that you have full control over your data, and we never have access to it. If you have any concerns, we’re happy to clarify further. We appreciate your time in ensuring transparency across the App Store. Best, Trine from SELF
