Butterfly AI · Privacy Policy
Butterfly AI is a private relationship coach built to help you reflect with clarity. This policy explains what information the app processes, why it is needed, and the choices you have.
Effective and last updated: 3 September 2026
Designed around local storage, user choice, and minimal data sharing.
At a glance
You can use Butterfly AI without creating an account or giving us your name.
Profiles, memories, preferences and conversation history are stored on your device.
Content needed for analysis is securely sent only when you request an AI-powered feature.
We do not sell personal data, serve ads, or track you across other companies’ apps.
Butterfly AI is operated by W-Force International Limited ("Butterfly AI", "we", "us" or "our"). This policy applies to the Butterfly AI iOS application and the services used to provide its features.
Butterfly AI does not require an account. We do not use advertising identifiers, sell personal information, or track users across apps and websites owned by other companies.
The app processes information that you type, paste, save, or otherwise choose to provide. This may include relationship details, profile information, preferences, memories, journal-style notes, prompts, and the content of email or text messages you choose to share with the app for coaching or analysis.
Google ML Kit performs text recognition locally on your device. When a user requests screenshot analysis, the selected screenshot and the text recognized locally on the device are securely sent through the Butterfly backend to OpenAI for analysis.
Butterfly AI does not intentionally retain selected screenshots as a separate long-term copy and does not use screenshots for advertising or unrelated purposes.
Relationship profiles, saved memories, preferences, and conversation history are stored locally on your device. We do not maintain a Butterfly AI user account containing this information.
Our hosting and AI providers may automatically process routine technical information needed to operate, secure, and troubleshoot their services, such as request time, network information, and service logs. Butterfly AI does not use this information for advertising or cross-app tracking.
We use information only as reasonably necessary to:
We do not use your content to build advertising profiles, and we do not share it with data brokers.
When you use an AI-powered feature, the app sends the content needed to answer your request. Depending on the feature, this can include your current prompt, recent conversation messages, relationship status, and relevant saved memories. For screenshot analysis, it also includes the selected screenshot and the text recognized locally on your device, which are securely sent through the Butterfly backend to OpenAI for analysis. Do not submit information you do not want processed.
Provides AI response generation and screenshot analysis. OpenAI states that API data is not used to train its models by default. Abuse-monitoring logs may be retained for up to 30 days unless longer retention is required by law or needed to protect services or third parties.
OpenAI data controls ↗Hosts the secure Butterfly backend that relays AI requests, including a selected screenshot and locally recognized text when screenshot analysis is requested. Content is transmitted through the backend to provide the requested feature; Butterfly AI does not use the backend as a separate cloud memory store.
Render privacy information ↗Recognises text from selected screenshots on-device. Google states that ML Kit input data and resulting output are not sent to Google servers, although the SDK may send performance and usage metrics.
ML Kit terms and privacy ↗These providers process information under their own terms and privacy commitments. Information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, with safeguards required by applicable law.
Local app data remains on your device until you delete it in Butterfly AI, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app. Removing the app may permanently delete locally stored profiles, memories, preferences, and conversation history unless your device backup retains a copy.
We do not intentionally keep a separate long-term copy of AI conversation content on our backend. We also do not intentionally retain selected screenshots as a separate long-term copy. Service providers may retain limited content or logs according to their policies, including for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, and service operation. Screenshots are not used for advertising or unrelated purposes.
Because Butterfly AI does not require an account, we may not be able to identify or retrieve local information stored only on your device. We may need reasonable information to verify a request involving data we control.
Butterfly AI is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy as the app or legal requirements change. We will revise the date at the top of this page and provide additional notice where required.
