Peril Privacy Policy

1. The short version

Peril runs on your phone. It has no account, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. It goes online only if you turn on web search, and then only to send a question’s key words to Wikipedia, or to Tavily with your own key. What you tell Peril stays on your phone, and nobody at LittleBitOfPeril AI, the company that makes Peril, can see it. Nothing you say is ever used to train an AI model.

2. Who makes Peril

Peril is made by LITTLEBITOFPERIL AI LLC (“LittleBitOfPeril AI”, littlebitofperil.ai). We never receive what you tell Peril: Peril never sends it to us.

3. What Peril keeps on your phone

Your conversations, and what Peril learns from them (people, dates, and facts you tell her), so she can remember them later.
Your notes and reminders.
A few counts for goals you tell her about, such as days in a row of running, and the wins you share.
Your settings, such as the personality and when answers are read aloud, and your Tavily key if you add one, encrypted.

All of it stays in Peril’s private storage on your phone, which other apps can’t read. Peril never backs it up to the cloud or copies it off the phone. Export my data, in Settings, saves a copy of all of it to a file you choose: where that file goes is up to you, and Peril uploads nothing.

4. What Peril reads, only if you allow it

Calendar: to tell you what’s coming up, in the chat and in the morning check-in, and to answer questions about your schedule. Peril adds an event to your calendar only when you tap Add to calendar, and removes one only when you ask and say yes.
Apps on your phone: Peril looks at which apps are installed so she can open one you name and find the music apps she can ask to play something. She never sends that list anywhere.
Contacts: birthdays and anniversaries, for the same reason, and the number or email address of someone you ask Peril to call, text, or email.
Microphone: only after you tap the mic, until you stop talking, or while a live voice conversation is open (it ends when you tap End, leave Peril, or say nothing for a minute, and it never listens while Peril speaks). Your phone’s own on-device speech recognition turns your voice into text. No recording is kept or sent.
Notifications: to show your reminders and morning check-ins. A reply you type into one is answered on your phone, like any message to Peril.
Documents: only a file you pick or share, read on the phone to summarize it and answer your questions about it. It’s kept only while you’re asking about it, and summaries and answers from it aren’t saved in Peril’s memory.

Calendar and contact details are read on the phone when needed, and never saved or sent. You can turn any of these off in Android settings, and Peril keeps working without them.

5. What leaves your phone

Nothing, unless you choose it:

Web search, only if you turn it on in Settings: when Peril’s library can’t answer, or you ask her to search the web, she sends the question’s key words to Wikipedia, or to Tavily if you add your own Tavily key. Never your name, the names of people you’ve told her about, your memories, or your conversation. The service sees your phone’s internet address, as any website does, and its own privacy policy applies. Under each answer from the web, Peril shows exactly what she sent.
Ask Peril from your watch, only if you turn it on in Settings: Peril’s notifications, and her answers in them, can also show on your paired watch. Your watch’s own app carries them, over Bluetooth, or through its maker’s servers when the watch is away from your phone. What you say on the watch is turned into text by the watch’s own keyboard or voice typing, and answered on your phone. With Peril’s watch app, what you ask or say to it (a question, a voice memo, a look at your day) and her answer pass between your watch and your phone only while they’re near each other, carried by Google Play services on both.
Reporting an answer: Peril shows you the whole report first, then opens your own email app. It’s sent only if you tap Send there, from your own email address, to LittleBitOfPeril AI. Reports are used only to fix Peril’s answers, never to train an AI model, and they’re kept only as long as that takes. To have one you sent deleted sooner, email the privacy address below.
Crisis help buttons open your phone’s dialer, messages app, or browser. Peril doesn’t see or record who you contact.
Calls, texts, emails, maps, directions, and timers you ask for open in your phone’s own apps, filled in, and a song you ask for is asked of your music app. Nothing is called or sent until you confirm it there, and Peril doesn’t record who you contact or what you listen to.

Your keyboard and the other apps you choose to open from Peril have their own privacy policies.

6. Deleting your data

Say “forget that” to remove the last thing you told Peril and anything she learned from it.
In Settings, What Peril remembers shows everything Peril keeps from your conversations. You can correct or delete any of it, forget a whole conversation, or erase everything.
Delete notes in Notes.
To delete everything, notes and settings too, clear Peril’s storage in Android settings (Apps, then Peril, then Storage), or uninstall Peril. Nothing is stored anywhere else, so that removes it completely.

7. Children

Peril is for adults 18 and over and isn’t made for children. Companion chatbots, and AI assistants with a personality like Peril, may not be suitable for some minors. Peril doesn’t collect information from anyone, of any age.

8. Security

Your data stays in Peril’s private storage, protected by Android’s app sandbox and your phone’s lock screen and encryption. In Settings, you can also lock Peril with your fingerprint, face, or phone PIN, and keep her out of screenshots and the Recents screen. Peril never sees your fingerprint, face, or PIN: Android checks them and tells her only yes or no.

9. Changes to this policy

A new version of this policy comes with an app update, and the date at the top changes.

10. This website

This site is a set of static pages. It sets no advertising or tracking cookies, runs no analytics, and makes no third-party requests. Our hosting provider may process standard server logs (such as IP addresses and requested URLs) for security and to keep the site running; they are not used to identify or profile visitors. If we ever add a contact form or a newsletter, this policy will be updated first.

If you email us, we receive your email address and what you write. We use it to reply, keep it only as long as we need to handle your message, and do not sell, share, or use it for marketing.

11. Your California privacy rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (Civil Code section 1798.100 and following), gives California residents rights over personal information that a business collects. This is the notice at collection, in plain words:

Question	Answer
What personal information does Peril collect about me?	None. Peril runs on your phone. What you say, what she remembers, your notes, your calendar and contact details, and your voice stay on your phone, and we never receive them.
Do you sell or share personal information?	No. We have none to sell, and we do not share anything for cross-context advertising. There is no “Do Not Sell or Share” setting because there is nothing to sell or share.
Do you collect sensitive personal information?	No. That includes anything about your health, location, or precise identity. Peril’s conversations are not sent to us.
What leaves my phone?	Only what you choose: a web search you turn on (a question’s key words, to Wikipedia or to Tavily with your own key), a report of an answer that you review and send from your own email, and the calls, texts, and other actions that open in your phone’s own apps.
How long do you keep information?	We hold no conversation data. An email you send us is kept only as long as needed to handle it. What is on your phone is kept until you delete it.

Your rights. You may ask to know what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to opt out of its sale or sharing, and to limit the use of sensitive information, and you will not be treated differently for asking. Because we collect no personal information through Peril, our answer will usually be that we hold none, apart from an email you sent us, which we will delete on request. To ask, email privacy@littlebitofperil.ai. An authorized agent may ask for you; we may need to confirm who you are and that the agent may act for you. On your phone, you can already see, correct, delete, or export everything Peril keeps, under Settings, What Peril remembers.

California Online Privacy Protection Act. This policy is posted where Peril is offered and inside the app. Peril does not track you across other sites or apps, and because it collects no personal information it has no way to respond to a “Do Not Track” signal other than by not tracking. California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code section 1798.83) lets residents ask which personal information a company shared with others for their direct marketing: we share none.

Companion chatbots (California Senate Bill 243). Peril’s disclosures, safety protocol, and protections for minors are on the Safety & Crisis Protocol page.
