Question 1

Privacy Policy

Accepted Answer

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. Our application does not share any personal or private data with us. Any data collected is only processed locally on your device (saved in an encrypted version of Unitys "PlayerPrefs"). However, we utilize third-party services to provide certain features:

OpenWhisper (Speech-to-Text) – Powered by OpenAI Whisper. Data handling follows OpenAI's API Privacy Policy: https://platform.openai.com/docs/data-usage-policies and https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy.
ElevenLabs (Text-to-Speech) – We use ElevenLabs' API for voice generation of the AI responses. ElevenLabs may collect data according to their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy: https://elevenlabs.io/privacy-policy.
OpenAI (e.g. GPT-5) – We use OpenAI's API for the chat functionality and voice generation within our application. OpenAI may collect data as per their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy.
Anthropic (e.g. Claude Opus 4.1) – Used for text-based interactions. Privacy Policy and Data Usage Information: https://privacy.anthropic.com/en/articles/10023548-how-long-do-you-store-my-data and https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/data-usage.
xAI (e.g. Grok 4) – Used for text-based interactions. Privacy Policy: https://x.ai/legal/privacy-policy and https://grok-ai.app/privacy-policy.
Google (e.g. Gemini 2.5) – Used for AI interactions and certain Google Workspace functions. API Terms and Data Governance: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms, https://cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/discover/data-governance, https://support.google.com/a/answer/15706919?hl=en.

You can choose which of these AI services you want to use. In the app, you can switch providers and models with the commands ###setAIProvider and ###setAIModel. At present, ElevenLabs is still required for text-to-speech, but this requirement does not apply to the language models (LLMs).
You can also connect your own accounts for the above services so that nothing is routed through our accounts. To do this, enter the commands ###setAIProviderKey and ###setAIProviderOrganization directly into the chat.

In the near future, we aim to provide offline Speech-to-Text, offline Text-to-Speech, and potentially offline LLMs so that all processing happens entirely on your device. This is our mid-term goal to offer a fully private, local AI experience.

Disclaimer: We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or current validity of the links to the privacy policies above. Responsibility for their content lies with the respective providers.

Attention:
When talking with our digital human chatbot, you will notice that it has a memory about previous talks you had with it and will remember your name and basic information. You can tell this digital human to not collect any data, which will automatically delete its memory and stop it from remembering previous talks. All collected information is encrypted and only saved locally on your device. It is not shared with us. However, they are shared with the LLMs mentioned above, so that they can remember previous conversations. Ask the digital human which information it has about you to see all details about everything that is remembered from you.

Our application complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and any other relevant data protection laws.

9. Cost and Budget Information
   This demo version is free for testing purposes, and we provide a free budget to cover the AI costs generated during your usage, which are displayed in the UI header bar. However, once this free budget is depleted, it is strictly forbidden to find workarounds or hacks to continue generating costs. Doing so is unfair to other users, as we aim to give everyone the chance to test the chatbot. Please be mindful that every AI service used in our app, including speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and AI interactions, incurs costs for us, which we cover for testers. We are also working on providing more cost-effective alternatives, such as lower-quality voice generation or free options for certain features, so that users can continue using the app for longer.

10. Termination
   We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the chatbot at our discretion, without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to abuse of the free budget or attempts to create costs beyond what is permitted.
