PRIVACY POLICY

RetroAI — Last updated: May 2026

// PLAIN ENGLISH SUMMARY RetroAI does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. All AI conversations happen entirely on your device. The only outbound network request the app ever makes is downloading a model file you explicitly request — nothing else leaves your phone.

// 1. WHO WE ARE

RetroAI is an iOS application developed by ~.Doug Studios (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy describes how the app handles information on your device.

// 2. DATA WE DO NOT COLLECT

We do not collect, store, transmit, or share:

Conversation content or message history
Device identifiers or advertising IDs
Location data
Usage analytics or telemetry
Crash reports
Any personally identifiable information

RetroAI contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party frameworks that transmit data off-device.

// 3. ON-DEVICE AI PROCESSING

All language model inference runs locally on your iPhone using Apple’s Metal GPU framework via llama.cpp. Your conversations are never sent to any server — not ours, not the model authors’, not anyone’s.

Conversation history exists only in memory and is discarded when you close the app or type /clear.

// 4. MODEL DOWNLOADS

When you use the /download command to fetch an optional model, the app makes an HTTPS request directly to huggingface.co to retrieve the model file. This is a standard file download; no account, login, or personal data is required or transmitted.

Downloaded model files are stored locally in your app’s Documents directory on your device. They are not backed up to iCloud by default and can be removed at any time via /delete <id> or by deleting the app.

Hugging Face’s own privacy policy applies to connections made to their servers: huggingface.co/privacy.

// 5. LOCAL STORAGE

The app stores two things locally on your device:

Model files — GGUF files you download, stored in the app’s Documents directory.
Active model preference — a single string (e.g. “llama-1b”) saved in UserDefaults recording which model you last selected. No personal information is stored here.

// 6. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

RetroAI does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Because the app collects no data from any user, no special handling is required.

// 7. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

If we change how the app handles data in a future version, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
