AI girlfriend safety guides
Safety and privacy guides for AI girlfriend apps: what each app collects, retention, deletion, age rules, and what to check before subscribing.
Safety questions about AI girlfriend apps come down to a short list: who the app is for, what it collects, how long it keeps messages, whether you can delete and export, and what the policy says about training and providers. Those answers change over time, so every guide states the policy it read and the date it was checked.
Start with the checklist
The Are AI Girlfriends Safe? checklist covers the questions to ask before subscribing and how to verify an app’s claims without taking a policy at face value.
App-by-app safety guides
Each guide below reviews a single app’s age policy, data collection, retention, deletion and export options, and moderation language. Riho publishes these guides and is transparent about that interest. Guides separate policy language from verified behavior and flag anything that is unknown.

Are AI girlfriend apps safe?
Most apps describe 18+ policies and data handling in their privacy policies, but safety depends on what each app collects, how long it keeps messages, and what you share. Check the app-by-app guides and the practical privacy checklist before subscribing.
What should I check before using an AI girlfriend app?
Check the age rule, what data the app collects, retention time, deletion and export flow, whether messages are used for training, and the privacy policy date. The safety checklist page lists these checks in order.
