Your companion chats live as a diary on someone else's server. Here is what apps keep, who trains on it, what has leaked before, and the small habits that keep you anonymous.

Breaches, fines, lawsuits, new laws, and a real loneliness upside. What the evidence says about AI companion safety, plus the checklist we would give a friend.

Real accounts, paid subscriptions, multi-day testing, and a published rubric. How our reviews get made, and what sponsors can and cannot buy.
