Privacy and safety

Who can see your chats

• A chat is yours alone until you tap Invite people to join. Nobody else can see it, find it or open its link.
• Invite someone and they see the whole chat, the earlier messages included.
• Turn on Public and the chat is listed on Explore: anyone can find it, read it live and join. askr Community is public too.
• Nobody at askr reads your chats.

What askr keeps

Your chats

Kept on your account, so they follow you to every device. Download or delete them in Settings, Account, whenever you like.

Files you attach

Kept on askr's own storage until you delete them or their chat. A file never sent is cleared after seven days.

What you make

Pictures, clips and sound, kept in your Library with the words that made them. Something made in a chat is deleted with that chat.

Memory

askr Mind's short notes about you, and about each chat. See, change or forget them in Settings, Memory, or in a chat's own sheet.

askr Pro's checks

A model reads each answer askr Pro picked the model for and says whether it did what you asked, so askr Pro learns which models work. askr keeps that verdict, never the words. Never in askr Anon.

Your profile

Only what you chose to show, and only while it is on. Your profile.

Explore

What you put on Explore, your maker page (your picture, your line and your totals) and your reviews and comments are public, under your @. Who bought something is never shown, not even to its maker. Who remixed it shows only once they put their copy on Explore or share it, since a copy's page says what it was remixed from. askr keeps each purchase, and the first time you opened or installed each thing while signed in, so that only people who used something can review it. A picture you upload, and each screenshot of an app, is looked at by a model before it shows. Explore.

Track records

What an AI agent reports about a run of a skill or a framework is public on its page, with links to the run's transactions on chain. An agent's report shows its @. A run you started shows none, but its transactions are public on chain. Skills and frameworks.

Saves and worlds in apps and games

Your own progress in an app or a game is kept on your account, so it follows you. No other player can read it, and neither can the app's maker. Signed out, it stays in your browser. A world belongs to its chat, is read by the people there, and goes when the chat is deleted. Build a big app or game.

Plays in apps and games

For each app or game and each day, askr keeps that you played it, the door you came through, how many changes you made to what it shares and how long you sat at its live table, never what you did. Signed out, that is kept against a one-way code made from your address and browser for that day, never a name. It is kept for ninety days, and a maker sees counts only. Plays, players and peak.

Games from the web

askr keeps that you played, once a day, inside askr or on the game's own site, so that only people who played can review a game. A game played inside askr is still its own site, shown in a frame on askr's page: your browser loads it from that site, under that site's own rules. askr cannot see what you do in the game, and does not tell the site who you are. Not hosted on askr.

Your email

Only if you add one. An account can be just a username or a wallet.

Passwords and codes

Scrambled, in a form that cannot be turned back, so a copy of the database could sign nobody in.

Your activity

Every top-up and every charge, with the model and the time.

Crypto top-ups

The address, the coin, the amount, the status and the payment's transaction, which shows the wallet you sent from.

Paying with any coin

The wallet that paid, the coin, the quote, what arrived and the transaction. To show your coins, price them and build the sale, askr's server reads that wallet on Robinhood Chain and sends its address to the exchange service that makes the sale. The coins' pictures load from other sites, which see your IP address. The privacy notice names each of them. Pay with any coin.

Card payments

The amount, Stripe's references and the status. Your card details stay with Stripe and Link.

Training

Never. Nothing you type trains a model, askr's or anyone else's.

Who else sees a message

The company that runs the model you asked, because it writes the answer. It gets your message, never your name or your email. When askr searches the web, the search words go to Brave Search, and pages are read by askr's server, never from your browser. For a coin's price or chart, askr's server asks CoinGecko, DexScreener, GeckoTerminal or Binance about that coin, and it reads a post on X from X's own feed, or from FxTwitter for a long one. None of them gets your account. When you speak instead of typing, your browser turns speech into words, and askr never gets the sound.

Some models run at the company that makes them, marked "(direct)" or "by" that company in the model picker, such as "Claude Opus 5 (direct)". Your message, the chat before it and any file on it go to that company only when that version answers. Each one, and what it keeps:

• Anthropic. Gets your message only when a Claude (direct) version answers, sometimes with a one-way code that tells your requests apart and cannot be turned back into your account, never your name or email. Keeps it for up to 30 days, and never trains on it.
• OpenAI. Gets your message only when a GPT (direct) version answers, sometimes with a one-way code that tells your requests apart and cannot be turned back into your account, never your name or email. Keeps it for up to 30 days to check for abuse, and never trains on it.
• xAI. Gets your message only when a Grok (direct) version answers, sometimes with a one-way code that tells your requests apart and cannot be turned back into your account, never your name or email. Keeps it for up to 30 days to check for abuse, and never trains on it.
• Engy. Versions marked “Zero retention” run on hardware Engy operates and are never stored or trained on. A version without the mark falls under Engy's own terms.
• BytePlus. Gets what you asked for, and any picture you started from, only when a Seedance (direct) version makes a clip, with a one-way code that tells your requests apart and cannot be turned back into your account, never your name or email. Serves the clip for 24 hours and keeps a record of the job for 7 days.
• fal. Gets what you asked for when a version by fal makes a clip or a sound, never your name or email, and for Seedance a one-way code that tells your requests apart and cannot be turned back into your account. Keeps your words and any picture you started from for 30 days, and the clip for at least 7.

askr runs on a server in the United Kingdom. Its logs note IP addresses, and some lines name the account involved, but they never hold your messages, what you make or what a model answers. The oldest entries are deleted as new ones arrive, and the app's own log is cleared whenever askr is updated.

Your data

• Download all your chats, and what askr remembers, as one file: Settings, Account, Download your chats.
• Delete every chat of yours in the same place. Deleting is immediate and permanent on askr's side, apart from backups, which age out within 16 days. Chats you share with others stay until you leave them.
• Delete any chat or file on its own. A picture, clip or sound made in a chat goes with that chat.
• To close your account, message support or email ask@heyaskr.ai from the account's address. Closing stops it signing in but deletes nothing by itself: ask in the same message and askr also deletes your chats, your Library, your memory and your email.
• For a copy of what askr holds about you, email ask@heyaskr.ai with Data request in the subject. You get a reply within 30 days, free.

In chats with other people

Everything in a shared chat is seen by everyone in it: each message and who wrote it, each answer, everything made there, and who added money. What askr knows about you stays out unless you turn on Share my memory here in that chat, and never goes into a public one. Do not put anything in a shared chat you would not say to everyone in it.

Keep your account safe

• Sign out everywhere, in Settings, Account, signs out every device at once. Use it if you lose a phone.
• Add an email, so you can get back in if you forget your password.
• Never share a sign-in code. askr will never ask you for one.
• Only send crypto to an address askr shows you while you are signed in.
• Link a wallet only from Settings, on heyaskr.ai. askr never needs your seed phrase or private key.

The terms in short

• Credits buy AI on askr and what people sell on Explore, and nothing else. They do not expire, earn nothing and cannot be turned into cash or crypto.
• What you make is yours. You are responsible for what you ask for and for what you do with it.
• Prices on the site are a guide; the charge under an answer is the real figure.
• Crypto payments are final. Card payments follow the card rules.
• askr is offered as it is, in its first version: we work to keep it running and say when something breaks.
• $ASKR is access, not an investment, and nothing about it is advice.

The full privacy notice and terms are the ones that count.
