Axon Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated November 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy covers two AI chat assistant apps: Axon AI Chat for Android (Google Play package chatgpt.axon) and AI Chat: Ask AI Chat assistant for iPhone and iPad, shown on your device as Axon Chat (together "Axon" or the "App"). Axon is published by AI Chat Labs on Google Play and by AT - AI Apps Developer on the App Store (together, "we", "us" or "our"). This policy explains what information the App handles, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and the choices and rights you have. It also covers the messages you send us and our website www.axonchat.com.

By installing or using the App you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the App.

1. Information the App handles

Information that stays on your device

Your chats, the name you give the assistant, your settings and the number of free answers you used today. On Android they are stored in a local database on your phone, and on iPhone and iPad in the App's storage on your device. They are deleted when you delete the App. If you use iCloud or Android device backups, they can be part of your backup, which Apple or Google keep for you under their terms and which we cannot read. There is no account or sign in, we run no server that receives your chats and we have no access to them.

Voice input on Android

When you tap the microphone, Android's own speech recognition (usually Google's) turns your speech into text and gives the App only the text. The App does not record or keep audio. How the speech service handles your voice is described in its provider's privacy policy.

Information you give us

If you email us, including when you send the report email that the iPhone and iPad app prepares for you, we receive your email address, your message and anything you choose to include, such as an AI answer, screenshots, your device model and the app version. We use it to answer you, to review reported content and to improve the App.

Content you choose to send

• Reports on Android. When you tap the report button, the App sends the reported answer and the reason you selected to our cloud function on Google Cloud (Firebase), see section 4.
• Cloud mode on Android. If you turn on cloud mode with your own API key, your messages go directly from your phone to the AI provider you chose. We never receive them, see section 4.
• Web search. When a question needs current facts and you allow it, the App sends only the search words from your device to a web search engine and shows the sources it found. Your chats are not sent, see section 3.
• Routes. When you ask for a trip, for example first Starbucks, then Trader Joe's, and allow location access, the App reads your device's location for that request. On Android it sends your location rounded to about 100 meters and the place names to a map search service, and the chosen stops to a routing service for the drive time and distance. On iPhone and iPad these requests go to Apple Maps. The route with the places found is stored with the chat on your device, and navigation opens in Google Maps or Apple Maps. Your location is not sent to us, see section 3.
• Pictures. When you ask for a picture, the App turns your request into a short description of the picture. On iPhone and iPad, Apple's Image Playground draws it on your device, or on Apple Private Cloud Compute for the photo style. On Android, after you agree once, the description goes from your phone to a free image service online, see section 3. Pictures you keep are stored on your device.

Information collected automatically

When the App shows ads, and on Android when it measures how it is used or reports a crash, the services described in sections 5 and 6 collect device and usage information, such as device model, operating system and app version, language and time zone, IP address and the approximate location derived from it, the advertising identifier (on iPhone and iPad only if you allow tracking), an app instance identifier, your interactions with the App and with ads, and crash and performance logs. The content of your chats is not part of this information.

Information on iPhone and iPad

Versions of the iPhone and iPad app up to version 7 show no ads. Version 8 and later show ads served by Google AdMob, see section 5. The iPhone and iPad app has no analytics SDK and no crash reporting SDK, and it sends nothing you write to us. Apple may provide us with aggregated, anonymous App Store analytics and crash reports from users who chose to share them with app developers, see section 6.

Purchases

Premium removes ads and the daily answer limit. On Android it is a Google Play subscription or Lifetime Premium, a one-time purchase, processed by Google Play Billing. On iPhone and iPad it is Lifetime Premium, a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple. We receive the purchase status, never your payment details. Manage or cancel a subscription in Google Play. On iPhone and iPad, Settings in the App has Restore purchases.

What we do not collect

We do not ask for your name and we do not collect your contacts, health, financial or biometric information. Your device's location is used only when you ask for a route and goes only to the map services in section 3, never to us. What you write in chats may be personal, but it stays on your device unless you send it yourself through cloud mode, a report or an email. Web search sends only the search words and pictures only a short description of the picture.

2. How we use information

• To provide the App and its features, such as running the AI assistant on your device, downloading the on-device model on Android, keeping your chats and settings, counting your free answers on your device and providing Premium.
• To review reported answers and reduce harmful AI output, as the app stores require for apps with AI-generated content.
• To show ads, measure their performance, limit how often you see them and give you more answers when you watch a rewarded video, with ads personalized only with your consent or tracking permission where the law or the platform requires it.
• On Android, to understand how the App is used, fix crashes and bugs, adjust settings remotely and improve features.
• To answer your messages and requests.
• To keep the App and its users safe and to prevent fraud, spam and abuse.
• To comply with the law, enforce our terms and protect the rights, property and safety of our users, us and others.
• In connection with an organization, reorganization, merger, sale or transfer of the App or our business, see section 7.

Legal bases for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. We process personal data to perform our contract with you (to provide the App you chose to use), for our legitimate interests (to keep the App working, secure and improving, to show non personalized ads that fund the free App, to review reported AI output, to answer your messages and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims), which we balance against your rights, with your consent (personalized ads), which you can withdraw at any time without affecting earlier processing, and to comply with legal obligations.

3. Online services the App uses

Some features rely on third parties. They receive your IP address and the content of the request and process them under their own terms and privacy policies:

• On-device AI on Android uses Android's built-in AICore service, and the Gemma 4 model is downloaded once through Google Play. See section 4.
• Reports on Android go to our cloud function hosted on Google Cloud (Firebase), protected by Firebase App Check with Google Play Integrity, which checks that a request comes from a genuine copy of the App. Firebase privacy information.
• Ads are served by Google AdMob and, on Android, its mediation partners, see section 5.
• Analytics, crash reports and remote settings on Android use Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Remote Config provided by Google, see section 6.
• The AI provider you choose for cloud mode on Android, if you turn it on, see section 4.
• Web search in both apps sends only the search words from your device to a web search engine after you allow it, under the search engine's own privacy policy.
• Routes on Android use DuckDuckGo's place search, which receives your location rounded to about 100 meters and the place names, with Photon by komoot on OpenStreetMap data as a fallback, and the OpenStreetMap car routing service run by FOSSGIS, which receives the stops for the drive time and distance. On iPhone and iPad, Apple Maps search and directions receive the same requests. Navigation runs in Google Maps or Apple Maps under their own policies. DuckDuckGo Privacy Policy, komoot Privacy Policy, FOSSGIS privacy information.
• Pictures on Android are made by a free image service online, currently the FLUX.1 schnell model by Black Forest Labs hosted on Hugging Face, which receives the short description of the picture. Hugging Face Privacy Policy.
• Apple and Google platform services handle app distribution, Apple Intelligence and Image Playground on iPhone and iPad, in-app purchases through Apple and Google Play Billing and model downloads through Google Play under the Apple Privacy Policy and the Google Privacy Policy.

We do not control these services and are not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices. We encourage you to read their policies.

4. The AI assistant and your chats

iPhone and iPad

Answers come from Apple Intelligence running on your device through Apple's Foundation Models framework. Nothing you write is sent to us.

Android

On supported phones, answers come from Gemini Nano through Android's built-in AICore. On other phones, the App downloads the open Gemma 4 model by Google DeepMind once through Google Play and runs it on your device. In both cases your chats are processed on your phone and are not sent to us.

Daily free answers

Both apps include 50 free answers a day. When they are used up, you can watch a short rewarded video to get more answers that day. The count is kept only on your device and starts again every day. Watching a rewarded video is always your choice.

Optional cloud mode on Android

Under Settings, Advanced you can enter your own API key for an AI provider of your choice. While you use this mode, your messages go directly from your phone to that provider and are handled under the provider's terms and privacy policy, which you accept with that provider. We never receive these messages or your key, and the key is stored encrypted on your device. Do not send personal, confidential or sensitive information to a provider unless you are comfortable with its policies.

Earlier Android versions

Versions of the Android app released before October 11, 2026 sent chat messages through our cloud function to OpenAI to generate answers. Current versions do not. If you still use an older version, update the App to keep your chats on your device.

Reporting an answer

On Android, the report button sends the reported answer and the reason you selected to our cloud function on Google Cloud (Firebase), so we can review harmful AI output as Google Play's policy on AI-generated content requires. Before reporting, check that the answer does not contain personal information you do not want us to see. The hosting provider may keep short lived technical logs, such as the IP address and time of a request, for security and troubleshooting. On iPhone and iPad, the report button opens an email draft to our support address, and you decide whether to send it.

AI answers can be wrong

Answers are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete or inappropriate. Check important facts. Answers are not professional medical, legal or financial advice, and you should not rely on them for important decisions. You are responsible for the content you enter and for how you use the answers.

5. Advertising

The App is free and shows ads, such as banners, ads between app screens, ads in lists and rewarded videos you choose to watch for more answers.

• Android. Ads are served by Google AdMob and its mediation partners Meta Audience Network, AppLovin (including AppLovin MAX) and Pangle. The list of partners may change over time, and we will update this section when it does.
• iPhone and iPad. Version 8 and later show ads served by Google AdMob.

These companies may use the advertising identifier, device and usage information and the approximate location derived from your IP address to deliver, measure and, where permitted, personalize ads, to limit how often you see an ad and to detect fraud, and they may combine it with information from other apps and websites under their own policies. How Google uses information from apps that use its services.

• European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland. Both apps ask for your consent through Google's consent form (User Messaging Platform) before personalized ads are shown. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time, see section 12.
• Tracking on iPhone and iPad. The App asks for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency before your advertising identifier is used. If you do not allow it, you still see ads, but they are not based on tracking you across other companies' apps and websites. You can change this at any time in Settings, Privacy and Security, Tracking.
• Advertising ID on Android. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings under Google, Ads, or Privacy, Ads.
• Premium removes ads, a subscription or Lifetime Premium on Android and Lifetime Premium on iPhone and iPad.
• US states. Under some US state laws, letting ad partners use your identifiers for personalized ads may count as "selling", "sharing" or "targeted advertising". You can opt out with the device settings above or by writing to us, see section 13.

Ads are provided by third parties. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the products, services or websites they promote.

6. Analytics and crash reports

Android

The App uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to count how features are used (for example screens opened, features used, session length and app version) and to collect crash reports (device model, operating system and app version, and the state of the App when it crashed), and Firebase Remote Config to receive settings that let us adjust the App without an update. This information is tied to a random app instance identifier, not to your name, does not include your chats, and helps us fix problems and improve the App. It is kept for the periods set in Firebase and described in the Firebase privacy information.

iPhone and iPad

The App has no analytics or crash reporting SDK. If you chose to share analytics with app developers in your device settings (Settings, Privacy and Security, Analytics and Improvements), Apple may provide us with aggregated, anonymous App Store analytics and crash reports. This is Apple's own feature, described in the Apple Privacy Policy. The ad SDK in version 8 and later collects the information described in section 5.

7. How information is shared

• Service providers and partners described in sections 3 to 6, only to provide their services, under their terms and, where they act on our behalf, only for our purposes.
• Legal and safety reasons. To comply with laws, court orders, legal process or lawful requests of public authorities, to enforce our terms, to protect the rights, property and safety of our users, us or others, and to detect and prevent fraud and security issues.
• Organization and business transfers. Axon is published under the AI Chat Labs and AT - AI Apps Developer names and may be organized into, or transferred to, a company or another legal entity, or be part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets or insolvency proceeding. Information we hold may be transferred to that entity, successor or acquirer, which will be bound by this Privacy Policy for that information unless you are notified otherwise.
• With your consent or at your direction, for example when you send messages to the AI provider you chose in cloud mode.
• Aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for any purpose.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

8. How long information is kept

Your chats, the assistant's name, your settings and the daily answer count stay on your device until you delete them or the App. We keep reported answers and your emails as long as we need to review them, answer you and keep a record of our correspondence, then delete them. The services described in sections 3 to 6, and the AI provider you choose for cloud mode, keep what they receive for the periods set out in their own policies. We may keep information longer when the law requires it or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

9. Security

The App keeps your chats on your device, we run no server that receives or stores them, the API key you enter for cloud mode is stored encrypted on your device, and the App sends its requests over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Protect your device with a passcode and keep it up to date. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for unauthorized access to information caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including incidents at third party services.

10. International transfers

We and the services we use may process information in the United States and other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those of your country. Where the law requires it, these transfers rely on appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission used by our providers.

11. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13, or under the minimum age to consent to the processing of personal data in their country (up to 16 in some countries of the European Union), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Your choices and rights

Choices on your device

• Delete the App to remove your chats, the assistant's name, settings and daily answer count from your device.
• Use cloud mode on Android only if you want to. It is not used unless you enter your own API key under Settings, Advanced.
• Change your ad consent in Google's consent form where the App shows it.
• On iPhone and iPad, allow or deny tracking in Settings, Privacy and Security, Tracking, and choose whether to share analytics with app developers, see sections 5 and 6. Lifetime Premium removes ads.
• Web search asks you before it searches. On iPhone and iPad you can let it search without asking in the App's Settings, and you can turn that off again there.
• Location is asked for the first time you request a route. You can allow it, allow only an approximate location or deny it, and change it at any time in your device's settings for the App. Without it the App does not plan routes.
• On Android, reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings, or get Premium to remove ads, see section 5.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Brazil, Canada, California and other US states, you may have the right to access your personal information, to correct it, to delete it, to receive a copy of it in a portable format, to object to or restrict its processing, to opt out of targeted advertising, profiling and the sale or sharing of personal information, and to withdraw a consent you gave. We will not treat you differently for using these rights. Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland may also complain to their data protection authority.

How to make a request

Email [email protected] with the subject "Axon privacy request". We may ask for information to verify your request, and an authorized agent may act for you with your signed permission. We answer within the time the law requires, usually 30 or 45 days. Because your chats stay on your device and we keep no account for you, we may be unable to link information held by third party services, or a report you sent, to you, in which case we will explain how to use your device settings or contact that service directly. If we decline your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision, and if your appeal is denied you may contact your state attorney general or data protection authority.

13. Notice for US state residents

This section supplements the policy for residents of California and other US states with consumer privacy laws. It applies to the Android app and to version 8 and later of the iPhone and iPad app.

• Categories collected in the last 12 months: identifiers (IP address, advertising identifier, app instance identifier, and your email address if you write to us), internet or other electronic network activity (interactions with the App and with ads), approximate geolocation derived from the IP address, inferences that ad partners may draw about your interests, commercial information (Premium purchase status), and the content of answers you report. Versions of the Android app released before October 11, 2026 also sent chat messages through our cloud function to OpenAI, see section 4. Chats in current versions stay on your device and are not collected by us. We do not collect sensitive personal information.
• Precise geolocation: when you ask for a route, your device's location goes from your device to the map services in section 3 only for that request. We do not receive it, and we do not use it to infer anything about you.
• Sources: you, your device and the services described in sections 3 to 6.
• Purposes: those in section 2.
• Disclosures for business purposes: identifiers, network activity and approximate geolocation to the platform, hosting, analytics and crash reporting providers.
• Sale or sharing: identifiers, network activity, approximate geolocation and inferences may be made available to advertising partners for cross context behavioral advertising, which some laws treat as a sale or sharing. You can opt out as described in section 5 or by emailing us. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.
• California Shine the Light: we do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
• Nevada: we do not sell covered information as defined by Nevada law. You may still send us an opt out request by email.

14. Other things you should know

• Automated decisions. The AI assistant generates answers automatically, but the App makes no decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.
• Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. These are browser signals. In the App, use the device and in-app controls described in sections 5 and 12.
• Our website. www.axonchat.com is a static website without accounts, forms or analytics. Our hosting providers (Google Cloud and Cloudflare) may keep short lived technical logs, such as the IP address and time of a visit, for security and troubleshooting.
• Third party content and links. The AI models that generate answers, the AI provider you may choose for cloud mode, and websites or content mentioned in answers belong to third parties and are provided under their own terms. We are not responsible for their content or practices.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add features or when the law changes, and we will change the date at the top when we do. When a change is material, we will also give notice in the App or on its store page where the law requires it. The updated policy applies from its date, and continuing to use the App after that means you accept it to the extent permitted by law.

16. Who we are and how to contact us

Axon is published by AI Chat Labs on Google Play and by AT - AI Apps Developer on the App Store (together, "we", "us" or "our"). For any question about this Privacy Policy or your information, email [email protected] and put Axon in the subject. Website www.axonchat.com.
