Originally Published: September 27, 2023

Last Updated: February 24, 2026

Thank you for choosing the Topics AI Assistant (“the App”). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you use the App.

1. Information We Collect

The App is designed to operate without collecting personal data. We do not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide your name, email address, profile picture, or any other personally identifiable information to use the App. The information we collect is as follows:

1.1. User-Generated Content (Chat Messages and Prompts): When you use the App’s chat features, the text messages and prompts you type are sent to our servers and forwarded to third-party AI service providers (see Section 4) to generate AI responses. This content is treated as user-generated content, not personal data. You should not include any personally identifiable information, sensitive personal data, or confidential information in your chat messages (see Section 8).

1.2. User Actions and Technical Information: We use analytics services to track user actions within the App, and Crash Analytics to collect technical information about the performance of the App. This may include your device type, operating system version, app version, crash logs, and general usage patterns.

1.3. Device Information: We may collect information about the device you use to access the App, including the device model, operating system, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.

1.4. Log Data: We may collect information that your device automatically sends when you use the App, including the date and time of your request, and how you interact with the App. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is cryptographically hashed before being stored or transmitted, meaning your actual IP address is never retained or shared in its original form. Only the hashed (anonymized) version is used, including when provided to Apple for analytics and attribution purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

3. Subscription Services

Users have the option to subscribe to paid subscription plans. Subscribed users may generate more AI-powered messages per day. If a user has the free version and no subscription, they are limited to a set number of messages per day. Subscription payments are processed through Apple’s App Store, and we do not collect or store your payment card information.

4. User-Generated Content Shared with Third-Party AI Services

To provide AI-generated responses, we forward your user-generated chat content to third-party AI service providers. The App does not collect, send, or share any personally identifiable information with these providers. This section describes exactly what content is shared, who it is shared with, and how it is used.

4.1. What Content Is Sent: When you send a chat message or prompt through the App, only the text content of your message is transmitted to third-party AI services for processing. No personally identifiable information (such as your name, email, device identifiers, or IP address) is included in or attached to the content sent to these AI services. Your IP address is cryptographically hashed before any storage or transmission and is never shared with third-party AI providers in any form. Users are responsible for not including personal information in their messages (see Section 8).

4.2. Who the Content Is Sent To: Your chat messages may be processed by the following third-party AI service providers:

We may add or change AI service providers in the future. Any changes will be reflected in an updated version of this Privacy Policy.

4.3. How the Content Is Used by Third Parties: The content sent to third-party AI providers is used solely to generate AI responses to your messages. We use API-level integrations with these providers, which are subject to their respective data processing terms. These providers are contractually obligated not to use your data for training their models when accessed through their API services.

4.4. User Acknowledgment: By using the chat features of the App, you acknowledge and agree that your chat messages (user-generated content) will be forwarded to the third-party AI services listed above for the sole purpose of generating AI responses. Since the App does not collect or transmit any personally identifiable information, and users are instructed not to include personal data in their messages, this transmission does not constitute sharing of personal data. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the AI chat features of the App.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including using encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) for data in transit. However, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required by law. Chat messages may be stored on our servers for a limited period to provide continuity of service. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

7. Third-Party AI Models and Services

Our servers utilize third-party AI models, including but not limited to OpenAI (GPT models), Anthropic (Claude models), and Google (Gemini models), to generate responses to your chat messages. These third-party providers receive only the text content of your messages and do not receive any personal identification information. Each of these providers maintains their own privacy policies and data protection practices. We select providers that offer data protection standards consistent with this Privacy Policy.

8. User Responsibilities — Do Not Input Personal Information

The App is not designed to collect or process personal data. Users must not include any personally identifiable information in their chat messages. This includes, but is not limited to:

Chat messages are forwarded to third-party AI services for processing. If you include personal information in your messages despite this warning, you do so at your own risk and responsibility. The App and its operators are not responsible for any consequences arising from users voluntarily including personal information in their chat messages. You are also responsible for ensuring you have the right to share any content you submit through the App.

9. Your Rights

Since the App does not collect personally identifiable information, we do not maintain personal data records associated with individual users. However, depending on where you live, you may have certain statutory rights, including the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@topicsai.app.

10. Disclaimer

We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation of the App as it relies on third-party services. Users are encouraged to contact us in case of any issues or malfunctions.

11. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to report any issues related to privacy or data security, please contact us at info@topicsai.app.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or change this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the revised Privacy Policy will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the App after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

Please review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates or changes. This Privacy Policy was originally published on September 27, 2023 and was last updated on February 24, 2026.
