Training on your data (default tier)
Small anonymised portions of messages and content are used to train Replika's safety and chatbot models; not used to train third-party models, and providers may not train on the data
“This includes collecting and immediately anonymizing user feedback, and small portions of Messages and Content data to train our proprietary safety algorithms, enhance chatbot performance, prevent inappropriate outputs, and ensure compliance with safety standards. / The anonymized data is used only internally and is not used to train third-party large language models or other AI systems.”
Retention
Not stated as a period; face and head movement data is processed on-device and never stored; deletion on request
“Face and head movement data, including all data collected via the TrueDepth API, is processed in real time on your device and immediately discarded: it never leaves the user's device, is not persistently stored by us (that is, it is retained for no period of time), and is not shared with any third parties.”
Data residency
San Francisco company; hosting region not stated
No hosting region is named.
“All stored data are maintained on secure servers.”

Assessment
Mobile and web app: high
Reasoning: An AI companion app. Conversations are intimate by design, portions of them train the vendor's models after anonymisation, and no region or retention period is given. Personal use; on a work device the concern is the app's presence, not company data.
Flags: Anonymised message portions used for training · Region and retention not stated · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
