Answer first: Before sharing personal messages or photos with an AI companion, review what it collects, where it stores data, and which controls you can change. The privacy screen should be as easy to find as the chat screen. Apply this checklist to Candy, OurDream, and DreamCompanion — then verify live: Try Candy AI → · Try OurDream → · Try DreamCompanion →.
Check data settings first
- Chat history retention and whether delete is self-service
- Model-training / quality-improvement language in Privacy Notice
- Export options (if any)
- Human review / trust & safety access conditions
Limit permissions
Turn off contacts, precise location, microphone, and photo-library access unless a feature genuinely needs them. Revisit after app updates.
Protect the account
Unique password, 2FA when available, review recovery email and active sessions. Treat intimate chats as sensitive even when UI looks “anonymous.”
Billing privacy
Note the merchant descriptor on the first charge. Companion charges sometimes use generic names — match amount to your approval email. Exit handbook: billing/privacy handbook.

FAQ
Is “private mode” enough?
Only if documented. UI labels are not cryptography.
