Version 2026-10-28
This policy explains what personal data Lovenium ("we") collects when you use Lovenium, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and your rights. We are the controller of your data. Contact: [email protected].
1. What we collect
| Data | Examples | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Account | email, password (stored hashed by our auth provider), display name | you, at sign-up or when you sign in with Google |
| Age and consents | the 18+ confirmation, which document versions you accepted and when, country and region at that time | you, and your IP address (country and region only) |
| Profile you choose to share | what characters should call you, occupation, location, preferences, a short summary | you, in your profile |
| Chats | your messages, AI replies, story summaries, photos a character sent you | you and the Service |
| Payments | plan, credits, transaction ids, amounts, dates | our payment processor; we do not see your full card number |
| Safety | automated moderation results, reports you send or receive, actions taken on your account | the Service and other users |
| Payments waitlist e-mail | the address you give us, and when you joined | you, only if you join the waitlist |
| Technical | IP address, device and browser type, error reports | your device |
| Analytics (only if you allow) | pages visited, clicks, anonymous usage events | your device, via cookies |
If you join our payments waitlist, we email you when payments open; you can unsubscribe any time.
Guests who have not signed up get a temporary anonymous account when they confirm they are 18+ and accept the consent step before their first message, not before; the same data about chats and consents then applies to them.
2. Sensitive data: your chats
Your chats, and which characters and scenes you choose, can reveal details about your sex life or sexual orientation. This is a special category of data under the EU and UK GDPR and Swiss data-protection law, and sensitive data under the laws of many other countries.
Consent countries are the countries where we ask for this consent, currently: the countries of the European Economic Area (the EU with its outermost regions and the Åland Islands, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), the United Kingdom, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, Switzerland, Monaco, San Marino, Andorra, Brazil, Canada, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, Mexico, India, South Africa, Thailand, Argentina, the Philippines, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Serbia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Russia and Chile. Which rules apply to you depends on the country where you last accepted the processing of your chats (we tell it from your IP address at that moment). If we could not tell the country, the rules for consent countries apply.
We use this data for these purposes:
- To provide the Service (required, everywhere): generate replies, keep your conversation going, and moderate content. We ask for your explicit consent before your first message. You can withdraw it at any time by deleting a chat (it is removed from the Service) or by deleting your account. Without it you cannot chat, because chatting is the Service.
- To improve the Service: chat statistics, outside consent countries. As part of running and improving the Service, a model analyses chats automatically and de-identified into aggregate statistics, such as topics, intents, what kept or put the person off, mood, why a conversation ended and technical failures (see Analytics). No one reads your chats for this, and the results are counts with no ID. You can opt out at any time in your profile under Privacy & data → Don't use my activity for product analytics.
- To improve the Service: chat statistics, in consent countries. Only with your separate, explicit consent (optional, off unless you tick it). Saying no changes nothing else in Lovenium. You can turn it off at any time under Privacy & data → Help improve Lovenium.
- To improve the Service: which characters and scenes you choose (optional, everywhere): looking at the characters and scenes a person picks needs your separate consent wherever you are, under Privacy & data → Help improve Lovenium.
Our team reads a chat only if it is reported or flagged by moderation. We do not use your chats for advertising and do not sell them.
3. Why we use your data
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Create and run your account, chats and characters | contract; explicit consent for chat content (required) |
| Decide when a character sends a photo, video or voice message in chat: a model reads the latest messages | contract; explicit consent for chat content (required) |
| Confirm you are an adult and keep proof of your consents | legal obligation; legitimate interest in keeping minors out |
| Moderate content, handle reports, prevent abuse and fraud | legitimate interest; legal obligation |
| Take payments, keep accounting records | contract; legal obligation |
| Email you once when payments open, if you joined our payments waitlist | consent; you can unsubscribe any time |
| Fix errors and keep the Service secure | legitimate interest |
| Product analytics from our servers, with a pseudonymous ID and no content | legitimate interest; you can opt out |
| Analytics in your browser (PostHog), where cookie consent is required (the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and the like, or an unknown country) | consent (cookie banner) |
| Tell the ad network that brought you that you signed up (the ad click id only, once) | consent (Advertising in the cookie banner), everywhere; never with Global Privacy Control |
| Analytics in your browser (PostHog), elsewhere | legitimate interest; you can opt out |
| De-identified, automated chat statistics, outside consent countries | legitimate interest where that basis exists; you can opt out |
| De-identified, automated chat statistics, in consent countries | separate explicit consent (optional) |
| Which characters and scenes you choose, everywhere | separate explicit consent (optional) |
| Cost control: what AI replies cost per character, summed over all users | legitimate interest |
| Cost control per account: what your AI use costs, to control spending and apply usage limits | legitimate interest |
| Answer support requests | contract; legitimate interest |
Analytics
- From our servers, without content. We count what happens in the Service, such as sign-ups, messages sent, features used, payments and errors, to see what works. While payments are not open, this includes which plan and payment method people pick on the payment screens; you never enter card details there. These events carry a pseudonymous ID derived from your account with a secret key, and never your email, IP address, the text of your chats or which characters and scenes you pick. We keep them for 13 months. This relies on our legitimate interest; you can opt out at any time in your profile under Privacy & data → Don't use my activity for product analytics.
- In your browser. In the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and similar countries, and where we cannot tell your country, PostHog cookies and similar tools run only if you accept them in the cookie banner. Elsewhere there is no banner: PostHog runs in your browser on our legitimate interest, never when your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, and you can stop it under Privacy & data → Don't use my activity for product analytics. We do not use advertising pixels. If you came from an ad and allow Advertising in the cookie banner, we keep the id of that ad click and, once, when you sign up, send it to the ad network so it knows the ad worked; see Who we share data with.
- Your chats, by region. From time to time, a model labels conversations, for example by topic, intent, what kept or put the person off, mood, why a conversation ended and technical failures. The model runs through OpenRouter with data collection by the model provider turned off, so the provider does not keep the text or train on it. The labels are de-identified, and what we keep is daily counts per character, opening and label, with no text and no user ID. Which rules apply depends on the country where you last accepted the processing of your chats (see consent countries).
- Outside consent countries your chats are included unless you opt out under Privacy & data → Don't use my activity for product analytics.
- In consent countries your chats are included only with the optional product-improvement consent (Privacy & data → Help improve Lovenium). Without it they are not analysed.
- Your choices, only if you agree. Which characters and scenes a person picks is looked at only with the optional product-improvement consent, wherever you are. It is kept under a pseudonym and shown only in groups of 5 or more people.
- AI costs per character, in total. To control costs we add up what AI replies cost for each character across all users. The total is never broken down to a person, and a character or period with fewer than 5 people is not shown. This relies on our legitimate interest.
- Anonymous totals. Counts that carry no ID at all, such as how many conversations a character had in a day or how many visits arrived from each ad, are anonymous and are not personal data.
- What we never do: read a particular person's chats for analytics, link insights back to an account, send chat text to analytics or advertising services, or use chats for advertising.
4. AI processing
To write a reply, we send the recent part of your conversation, the character's description and your profile to an AI model. To decide when a character sends a photo, video or voice message in chat, a model reads the latest messages of the conversation the same way; its answer is used once and is not stored with your account. Models are provided through OpenRouter, Inc. (USA), which routes each request to the provider of the chosen model, for example DeepSeek, MiniMax, Z.ai (GLM) or Meta. These providers may process the text outside your country, and their own terms and data policies apply. We do not send your email or payment details to them. Generated scene images are produced the same way by image models available through OpenRouter.
We also run automated moderation on messages, replies and images. Content that the system flags, or that someone reports, may be reviewed by our staff.
If a message suggests thoughts of self-harm, the system uses that signal only to answer with care and show crisis resources (Safety and Crisis Protocol). The message stays in your chat history like any other. The conversation is then marked for 24 hours so the character stays in care mode; the mark is deleted with the conversation. Your device keeps a similar note for 24 hours, so the chat does not offer photos, videos, voice messages or flirty reply ideas. For reporting we count only how many times a day crisis resources were shown, without the message or who sent it.
We do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you based only on automated processing, except blocking content that the automated system flags as clearly prohibited; you can ask for human review at [email protected].
5. Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it with service providers who process it for us under contract:
| Provider | What for | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | database, authentication, file storage | EU or USA |
| OVHcloud (OVH US LLC) | hosting the website and servers | USA |
| Cloudflare | DNS, traffic proxy and caching, protection against bots and attacks, a check on sign-in and sign-up forms (Turnstile), forwarding of emails sent to our support addresses, and storage of our backups (R2) | USA and Cloudflare's global network |
| OpenRouter and model providers | AI replies, images, moderation, deciding when a character sends a photo, video or voice message, and chat labelling for statistics (see Analytics) | USA and other countries |
| Our payment processor (named at checkout) | payments, fraud checks, taxes | varies |
| sign-in with Google, if you use it | USA | |
| xAI | voice calls, when they are available | USA |
| PostHog | product analytics: events from our servers with a pseudonymous ID, and browser analytics only with your consent | USA |
| Sentry | error reports, without chat content | USA |
If you came from an ad and allow Advertising in the cookie banner, we also send the id of that ad click, once, when you sign up, to the ad network that showed the ad (TrafficStars). Nothing else about you goes with it: no email, name, account ID, IP address or chats. The ad network uses it under its own privacy policy. Without that choice, or if your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, nothing is sent.
The sign-in and sign-up check (Cloudflare Turnstile) sends signals about your browser to Cloudflare; Cloudflare processes those signals as an independent controller under its Privacy Policy.
We may also disclose data when the law requires it, to protect people from harm (for example, reports about child sexual abuse material to the competent authorities), or in a sale or merger of our business under the same protections.
6. International transfers
Some providers are outside the EU/UK. When we transfer personal data there, we rely on adequacy decisions or on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses with additional safeguards where needed. Our servers are in the United States. Cloudflare handles traffic on a global network; for transfers from the EU, UK or Switzerland to the United States it relies on its certifications under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its extensions, and on Standard Contractual Clauses if those certifications lapse.
7. How long we keep data
| Data | How long |
|---|---|
| Account, profile and chats | until you delete them or your account |
| Guest (anonymous) accounts | deleted after 30 days without activity |
| Consent records | 3 years after an account is deleted (1 year for guests), without your email |
| Moderation records | 180 days; longer if linked to a report, an appeal or a legal hold |
| Reports | the reporter's IP address (as a keyed hash) 30 days; the reporter's email 1 year after the report is closed; the report 2 years after it is closed; longer under a legal hold, and at least 1 year for illegal content where the law requires it |
| Payment and accounting records | as long as tax and accounting law requires, usually up to 7 years, without chat content |
| Blocked sign-up emails | only once sign-up confirms email ownership, and only as a keyed one-way hash: 1 year after an under-18 closure, for the duration of a ban otherwise |
| Product analytics events | 13 months |
| Payments waitlist e-mail address | until payments have opened and we have written to you, or until you unsubscribe or delete your account |
| AI usage cost records (per account, no chat content) | 13 months |
| Chat analysis | daily counts per character, opening and label, with no text and no user ID: 13 months; a note, under a keyed hash, that a conversation was already counted: 30 days. The counts carry no ID, so they stay after you opt out or withdraw consent; from then on your chats are not counted. |
| Backups | deleted data disappears from backups within 30 days |
Encrypted backups of our database and stored media are kept with Cloudflare (R2 storage); they are encrypted on our server before upload and Cloudflare cannot read them. Backups are kept for 14 days.
When you delete your account (Profile → Privacy & data → Delete account, after signing in again), we delete your chats, profile, photos and account right away. While a report about the account is open or evidence is held for the law, deletion waits until that is resolved. Records we must keep (payments, consents, safety) are kept without your email or name.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of your data or send it to another service;
- correct inaccurate data;
- delete your data (you can also do this yourself in your profile);
- restrict or object to some processing;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing before the withdrawal.
Write to [email protected]. We answer within one month. You can also complain to your data protection authority. If you live in California, you have similar rights under the CCPA. We do not sell your personal information. If you allow Advertising in the cookie banner, we share the id of the ad click that brought you with that ad network, once, when you sign up. This may count as "sharing" under California law; you can turn it off at any time in cookie settings, and we honour Global Privacy Control.
9. Children
Lovenium is only for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you tell us you are under 18, we close the account immediately. If you believe a minor is using Lovenium, report it at Support.
10. Security
We protect data with encryption in transit, access controls and least-privilege access for our staff. Explicit images are kept in private storage and are shown only through short-lived links after an access check. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.
11. Cookies
See the Cookie Policy.
12. Changes
We may update this policy. If a change is material, we will ask you to accept the new version before you continue. The version and date are shown at the top of this page.
Last updated: 27 October 2026.
| Version | What changed |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-27 | Optional Advertising choice: with it, the id of the ad click that brought you is sent once to that ad network when you sign up. Anonymous count of visits from ads. Not a material change: off unless you allow it, so you are not asked again. |
