Privacy Policy
How 4couple handles your information
Last updated: November 6th 2026
1. Our commitment to privacy
4couple is a relationship app for couples. Much of what you share with it is personal: how you feel, what you want to say to your partner, your mood, and your conversations with the AI Companion. We take that seriously, and this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) is written to tell you plainly what we collect, why, who receives it, how long we keep it, and what control you have.
This Policy applies when you use our mobile application (the “App”), visit our website at 4couple.ai (the “Website”), or communicate with us. We refer to all of these together as the “Services”. In this Policy, “personal data” and “personal information” mean information that identifies or relates to you, as defined under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) and applicable US state privacy laws.
This is a single global Policy. Sections 1 to 15 apply to everyone. Section 16 adds information for users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, and section 17 adds information for users in the United States. If you live in Washington State or Nevada, our separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy also applies. Please read this Policy together with our Terms & Conditions and, for the Website, our Cookie Policy.
You must be at least 18 years old to use 4couple.
2. Who is collecting your data
You know us as 4couple, but as a legal entity we are WUMI sp. z o.o., a company registered in Poland at ul. Prosta 20, 00-850 Warszawa (KRS 0001259684, NIP 5273231770, REGON 545483150) (“we”, “us”, “our”). We are the data controller, which means we decide what personal data is collected and how it is used. You can reach us about privacy at contact@4couple.ai.
3. A note on sensitive information
Some of what 4couple handles is sensitive by its nature. Your conversations with the AI Companion, your mood entries and notes, the automated safety signals we generate, and intimacy signals you send to your partner can reveal information about your mental health, your emotional state, and your sex life. Under the GDPR this is “special category” data; under US state laws it is “sensitive personal information” and, in some states, “consumer health data”.
We only process this information with your explicit consent, which we ask for in a separate step before you first use the Mood Checker or the AI Companion, not as part of accepting our Terms. You can withdraw that consent at any time in Settings > Privacy & data or by contacting us, after which we will stop processing the related data and delete it in line with section 13. Withdrawing consent means the related features will stop working, but it does not affect anything we did while your consent was in place.
4couple is not a healthcare provider. The AI Companion is not therapy, counselling or medical care, and nothing in the Services diagnoses or treats any condition. We are not covered by HIPAA and do not claim to be.
4. The information we collect and how we use it
We collect the information below to run the Services, to provide the features you use, to keep the app secure, and to improve it. Where a piece of information is optional we say so; some features will not work without it. This section covers the App and your 4couple account, however you created it. Section 5 covers the Website, including our quiz, buying a subscription there and your membership page.
Account and sign-in information
When you create an account we collect your email address and a password (stored only as a secure hash by our sign-in provider; we never see it), or the identity you share with us through a third-party sign-in service you choose. If that service gives us a relay email address instead of your real one, we use the relay address. We also collect a device identifier, your device's push-notification token, your timezone, and, if you add one, a profile photo.
Profile and onboarding information
During onboarding we collect your first name, your birthday, and optionally your gender (used so the AI can address you correctly). We also ask about your relationship: its status, when it started, whether you live together, and whether you have children (yes or no, how many, and their ages). We ask about your love languages, your goals for the app, your communication challenges and the support you would like. Before you first use the AI Companion we ask a short set of questions about how you connect and handle conflict, from which the app derives a “connection type” used to personalise your experience.
Your first name, birthday, relationship facts, goals and connection type may be shown to your partner once your accounts are linked (see section 9). Your gender and your individual answers to the connection questions are not shown to your partner. If you start with our quiz on the Website, your answers there fill in your first name, gender, relationship status, when your relationship started, whether you live together, your love languages and your goals, so the App does not ask again (section 5).
Partner connection
When you invite or link a partner we store a pairing code, the link between your two accounts, and the relationship facts you both share. Either of you can end the link at any time, and it also ends if one of you deletes their account. Section 13 sets out what happens to your data in both cases.
AI Companion conversations
There are two separate chats with the AI Companion: your own chat, which is just between you and the AI and is never visible to your partner, and the partners' chat, which you and your partner use together and which is visible to both of you. Nothing moves from your own chat into the partners' chat. We store the full text of both chats, along with each session's topic, name and timestamps. At the end of a session the AI generates a summary and, for the partners' chat, a follow-up plan, which we store. If you choose to turn memory on (it is off until you do), the AI builds a memory of what matters to you across sessions so it can be more helpful next time; you can view, turn off or clear that memory at any time in Settings > Privacy & data. In the partners' chat you may add photos, which we store. If you use voice input, your recording is transcribed by a speech-to-text provider and the text is used as your message; the recording itself is not kept.
Safety and automated signals
Every message you send to the AI Companion is automatically checked by a safety classifier that looks for signs that you or someone else may be at risk. When it detects a serious risk, it shows you crisis resources instead of an AI reply. We record the classifier's output and the resources shown. The AI also records a small set of signals about each turn of conversation (for example the topic and your emotional state) that help it respond well. These are automated processes; see section 7.
Translate My Emotions
Translate My Emotions is private between you and the AI. What you type is used, with your first name, your partner's first name and basic relationship context, to draft a reworded message that is shown only to you. Nothing from Translate My Emotions is shared with your partner through the app; what you do with the reworded message is entirely up to you. Your raw input is kept only for as long as needed to produce the reworded message, after which it is deleted.
Mood entries and signals
When you use the Mood Checker we store your mood, sub-mood, and any note you add, along with the date. Your mood check-ins and notes are shared with your partner and used by the AI Companion. You can also send your partner signals such as “needs a hug”, “needs some space” or “wants to make love”, which we store and deliver to your partner as a notification. From your and your partner's moods, the AI generates mood insights and a weekly couple insight, which we store. We also track your check-in streak. There is no private mode for moods: every check-in is shared with your linked partner.
Lifestyle features
The Film Chooser stores your swipes, matches, your personal list (hidden from your partner) and your shared watchlist. The Date Planner stores your preferences, including your city, country and approximate location, your budget and the kinds of dates you like, plus the date ideas we generate and your date history. The Wheel of Fortune stores the custom wheels you create. The Wishlist stores your wishes, including any you mark as hidden from your partner. Important Days stores dates you want to remember. Film information shown in the Film Chooser comes from a third-party movie database that receives no information about you.
Notifications
We store your push-notification token and a log of notifications sent. Notification text is templated and never contains your conversation content, but some notifications include your partner's first name and the signal they sent (for example “[Name] needs a hug” or “[Name] wants to make love”). That text passes through the notification services of your device's platform in order to reach you, and may appear on your lock screen. You can turn categories of notification off in Settings.
Usage, device and diagnostic information
We use a product-analytics service, hosted in the EU, to understand how the Services are used and to fix problems. It receives your user id, email address and first name, the screens and features you use, and error and crash reports. It does not receive the content of your conversations, moods or notes, and it does not record your screen. We also collect technical information about your device (type, operating system, app version, language) and your IP address, which gives us a general location so we can keep the Services secure.
Support information
When you contact us we collect your email address, information about your device so we can diagnose the issue, and anything else you tell us.
Subscription and payment information
If you buy a subscription in the App, the payment is handled by the app store you downloaded it from, and we receive confirmation of your purchase and your subscription status. One subscription covers both linked partners.
If you buy on our Website, the payment is handled by our payment provider, Stripe. Your card or wallet details go directly to Stripe, and we never receive or store your full card number. Stripe holds your email address, your billing postcode and country, and your subscription and payments, all linked to your account's user id. We keep our own record of what you bought, the amount, the date, whether the payment went through or was refunded, and Stripe's references for your customer record, subscription and payments. From Stripe we read your card's brand and last four digits, to show you on your membership page which card is on file, and your billing postcode, together with the approximate location our host derives from your IP address, only to decide whether California's cancellation rules apply to you. When you cancel, the reason you choose and any comment you add are stored with Stripe. We also keep which cancellation offers you took, whether you turned on renewal reminders, and which subscription emails we sent you. Our subscription-management provider reads your Website subscription from Stripe, with your account's user id, so the App can unlock it for you and your partner.
Communications and marketing
We use your email address to send you messages you need about your account or the Services. If you subscribed on the Website, these include the emails our Terms & Conditions describe: a reminder before each renewal if you turn reminders on, a yearly reminder that your subscription renews, a notice before a renewal that costs more than your last payment, and a confirmation when you cancel. Where you have agreed, we may also send occasional updates, tips or offers about 4couple. You agree when you give us your email address in the quiz, which says so before you continue: if you then leave without subscribing, we email you about your plan, with an offer for it. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out of marketing messages at any time.
Cookies and similar technologies
The App uses only the local storage and identifiers needed to keep you signed in and make the app work. The Website uses strictly necessary cookies and browser storage and, only if you accept them, analytics and advertising cookies (section 11), including session recordings of your visits with what you type masked. See our Cookie Policy.
5. The Website
Different parts of the Website handle your data differently. Taking our quiz creates a 4couple account, so what you give us there becomes part of that account, the same account you use in the App, and the rest of this Policy applies to it too. The other parts of the Website (the pages about the App, the Relationship Quiz, shared wishlists and the support form) do not need an account, and what they collect is not joined to one, except the waitlist referral records explained below.
The quiz
When you start the quiz we create a 4couple account for you, at first without a name or email address, and we save your answers to it as you go: your gender, age range, relationship status and how long you have been together, whether you live together and have children together, what you would like to improve, how you would describe your relationship right now, when you last felt close and what gets in the way, how often you argue, what starts it and what you do when things get tense, how much you agree with a few statements about your relationship, how you reconnect after a hard day, where you see the relationship going, what you have already tried, whether your partner would join you and how ready you are to work on it, your love languages, two yes-or-no questions we ask while your profile is put together, how much time you have each day, an occasion you would like to feel closer for, and your email address and first name. From your goals and how you describe your relationship, we work out which area your plan focuses on, and from your other answers the pattern, the Connection Score and the level of risk the quiz shows you. We also record the link you arrived from: its campaign tags, the identifiers an ad platform adds to it (such as Meta's click id and the ad's campaign), and the page you landed on.
We use your answers to build your personalised plan and show it to you, and to set up your account so the App does not ask you the same questions again. We use the link you arrived from to understand which of our ads and links bring people to 4couple. While you type your email address, we check whether it already has a 4couple account, so we can tell you to log in instead. Your browser keeps its own copy of your answers and your place in the quiz, so you can carry on where you left off (see the Cookie Policy).
The quiz does not ask about your health. It can touch on your intimate life: intimacy is one of the things you can say you argue about. The 18+ version of the quiz asks about your intimate life itself: what you would like to change in it, how desired you feel and how happy you are with it, how often you are intimate and whether that is enough, when you last were, who usually makes the first move, how strong your desire is and how strong you think your partner's is, what gets in the way, and whether you keep what you want to yourself. One of its two versions also asks how often you argue, what starts it, what happens when things get tense and how close you feel day to day. From these answers it works out its own pattern, an Intimacy Score and the level of risk it shows you. Those answers are saved with the others. If you leave the quiz before setting a password, the account and your answers stay with us until you ask us to delete them at contact@4couple.ai.
The Relationship Quiz
The Relationship Quiz on our Relationship Quiz page and home page is a separate, shorter quiz: eight questions that give you a Couple Score on the page. It does not create an account, and your answers are not sent to us. Your browser keeps them, and your place in the quiz, until you close the tab (see the Cookie Policy). Our analytics records that the quiz was started and finished and the score it gave, never your answers. If you then choose to get a personalised plan, you continue in the quiz described above.
Buying on the Website
When you subscribe or buy a one-time add-on on the Website, Stripe processes the payment, as section 4 describes. After you pay you set a password for your account, which is your login for the App. To sign you in to the App without typing it, we then create a one-time login code: on an iPhone or a computer, tapping Download App copies it to your clipboard, and on Android it travels in the download link. The code works once and expires after an hour, and we store it only in a scrambled (hashed) form.
Your membership page
If you subscribed on the Website, you manage your subscription on your membership page at 4couple.ai/account. Tapping Manage subscription in the App's Settings opens it already logged in, using a one-time code that expires after 5 minutes; you can also log in with your email address and password. There you can see your plan and the card on file, replace the card, turn renewal reminders on or off, take an offer, or cancel. When you cancel, we ask why; the reason and any comment you add are stored with Stripe, and your comment never goes to our analytics.
The waitlist
Before the App launched, you could join a waitlist on the Website. We closed it to new signups on September 14th 2026. If you joined, we hold your email address, your answers to the short questionnaire on the signup form, your score and answers if you took the relationship quiz we used to run, an unsubscribe token, and the identifiers of the emails we sent you. If you arrived through someone's referral link, we also hold that referral code.
We used this to send you your early-access invitation. We will send you one more email, announcing the launch of the App and including an offer for it. There is no newsletter and no ongoing marketing programme; if that ever changes we will ask for your consent separately rather than rely on your signup. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and using it stops any further email to you.
Until the waitlist closed, if you had joined through a referral link and then created an account in the App with the same email address, we recorded against your account which referral code brought you, so we could credit the person who referred you. We no longer make these records. Any that exist are kept until you delete your account.
We will delete the waitlist, including the questionnaire answers, quiz answers and referral codes stored with it, by December 13th 2026. You can ask us to delete your entry sooner at contact@4couple.ai.
Shared wishlist links
If you turn on sharing for a wishlist in the App, that wishlist becomes readable on this Website by anyone who has its link, without signing in. The page shows your first name, the name and look of the list, and the wishes on it, including any note, price, link and whether a wish has been reserved. Wishes you keep hidden and lists you have not shared are never shown. Turning sharing off in the App makes the link stop working.
Contacting support
The support form on the Website sends us your name, your email address and your message, through our email provider, so that we can reply.
Security and analytics on the Website
Our support form is protected against automated abuse by a bot-protection service, which receives your IP address and technical signals about your browser in order to tell a person from a script. Our website host records standard server logs, including IP addresses, to serve and secure the site. Our payment provider receives your IP address and information about your device when the payment form opens, to prevent fraud.
Analytics and advertising run only if you choose “Accept all” in our cookie banner. Before you choose, and if you reject, our analytics provider records anonymous page views, the steps taken through our quiz and checkout, and errors the pages run into, without writing any identifier to your device or linking any of it to you, and nothing is sent to Meta unless you buy something (section 11). If you accept, our analytics provider links what you do on the Website to your account's user id and email address, and records the steps you take in the quiz, at checkout and on your membership page, your gender, your age range, your relationship status, whether you live together and have children together, the occasion you named, the area your plan focuses on, the pattern, score (the Connection Score, or the 18+ quiz's Intimacy Score) and level of risk the quiz worked out, which version of the 18+ quiz you were shown, the ad campaign you arrived from, and, if you cancel, the reason you chose. It also records your visits (how the pages looked, where you scrolled and tapped), with every text field masked and, in the quiz and on your membership page, all text masked too. It does not receive your other quiz answers or anything you write. Section 11 explains advertising. See the Cookie Policy for the detail.
6. How the AI features use your information
Features including the AI Companion, Translate My Emotions, mood insights, and the AI suggestions in the Film Chooser, Date Planner and Wheel of Fortune use artificial intelligence. When you use them you are interacting with an AI system, not a human.
To generate a response, your message is sent securely from the App to our own server and then to our AI provider. For the AI Companion, the request also includes your first name and gender, your partner's first name and gender, your love languages, goals, communication preferences and connection-type answers, your partner's love languages, your recent moods, the memory of previous sessions (if you have memory enabled), and the current session so far. For voice input, your recording is sent to a separate speech-to-text provider. Our AI providers are located in the United States; see section 12.
We only use AI providers and settings that do not use your content to train AI models. Our providers may process your content only to generate the response and to run the service for us. We keep the current providers listed on our Sub-processors page and will update it, with notice where the law requires, if they change.
7. Automated decision-making and profiling
Some of what the Services do is automated profiling, and the law requires us to tell you about it.
- Safety classification. An automated classifier checks each AI Companion message for signs of risk to you or others. At high severity it shows crisis resources instead of an AI reply. No person reviews these events, and no one monitors your conversations in real time. The classifier's output is stored so we can show you resources and honour your data rights.
- Conversation signals and memory. The AI records signals about each turn (for example topic and emotional state) and, if you have memory enabled, builds a profile of what matters to you across sessions. This shapes how the AI responds to you.
- Connection type and insights. Your onboarding answers produce a connection type; your moods produce mood and weekly insights. These personalise content shown to you and, where noted in section 9, to your partner.
None of this produces legal effects on you or similarly significant effects, and we do not use it to make decisions about your access to the Services, pricing or eligibility for anything. You can turn memory off, clear it, and ask us to explain, review or delete any of these outputs (section 15). You can also ask us for human review of any automated outcome that you believe has affected you.
8. Our lawful bases for using your data
Under the GDPR we must have a lawful basis for using your personal data. In plain terms, these are: performance of our contract with you (using your data to provide the Services you signed up for); our legitimate interests in running, securing and improving the Services in a way you would reasonably expect; your consent, including your explicit consent for sensitive information (which you can withdraw at any time); and compliance with a legal obligation.
| Information | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Account and sign-in | Performance of our contract; legitimate interest in security |
| Profile and onboarding | Performance of our contract; consent for optional fields and for sharing with your partner |
| Partner connection | Performance of our contract; your consent when you choose to link |
| AI Companion conversations, memory, summaries, photos, voice | Your explicit consent (sensitive information); performance of our contract |
| Safety and automated signals | Your explicit consent; our legitimate interest in showing crisis resources and keeping users safe |
| Translate My Emotions | Performance of our contract; your explicit consent where content reveals sensitive information |

| Shared wishlist links | Your consent, given when you turn sharing on for a list |
| Notifications | Your consent (device permission); performance of our contract |
| Waitlist entries, quiz answers and referrals | Your consent, given when you joined the waitlist; our legitimate interest in crediting referrals |
| Quiz answers, and the account the quiz creates | Performance of our contract, including the steps you ask us to take before you buy (building your plan and setting up your account) |
| The link you arrived from on the Website | Our legitimate interest in knowing which of our ads and links work; your consent before any of it is sent to Meta, other than the ad click id sent with a purchase (section 11) |
| Website security, fraud prevention and server logs | Our legitimate interest in protecting the Website and our payments from abuse and fraud, and keeping the Website available |
| Website analytics and advertising (Meta) | Your consent, given in the cookie banner |
| Telling Meta about a purchase on the Website | Our legitimate interest in knowing which of our ads lead to a purchase |
| Usage, device and diagnostics | Our legitimate interest in operating, securing and improving the Services |
| Support | Our legitimate interest in helping you |
| Subscriptions, payments, the membership page and subscription emails | Performance of our contract; compliance with legal obligations (for example tax and accounting) |
| Your approximate location and billing postcode, for California's rules | Our legitimate interest in meeting California's automatic-renewal law, which sets how we must let Californians cancel |
| Cancellation reasons and comments | Our legitimate interest in understanding why people leave, so we can improve the Services |
| Communications and marketing | Consent for marketing; legitimate interest for service messages |
9. What your partner can see, and what you can share more widely
4couple is built for two people, so “who can see what” is part of the product. We do not share your information with your partner on our own initiative; the sharing below happens when you link accounts and use shared features.
Private to you
- Your own chat with the AI Companion: everything you write or add there, its summaries, and the AI's memory of you. Your partner never sees any of it, and nothing from it is carried into the partners' chat.
- Everything in Translate My Emotions, both what you type and the reworded message. Nothing from it reaches your partner through the app.
- Your gender and your individual answers to the connection-type questions.
- Your personal film list and any wishes you mark as hidden.
- The quiz answers only the Website uses: your age range, how much time you have each day, and everything the quiz asks about how your relationship is going (how you would describe it, how often you argue, how much you agree with its statements, where you see it going and the like, and in the 18+ version your intimate life), with the pattern, score and level of risk worked out from them.
- Your account, sign-in, payment, support and diagnostic information.
Shared with your linked partner
- Your first name, birthday, profile photo, and the relationship facts you both confirm (status, start date, living situation, children).
- Your goals and your connection type (shown together with theirs).
- Your mood check-ins, sub-moods and notes, the signals you send, and the mood and weekly insights about you both.
- The partners' chat with the AI Companion: everything either of you writes or adds there, including photos, plus that chat's summary and follow-up plan. Only what is put into the partners' chat is visible; anything in your own chat stays with you.
- Your shared watchlist and film matches, date plans, custom wheels, shared wishes and important days.
Shared with anyone you send a link to
One thing you can choose to publish is readable by anyone holding the link, with no sign-in: a wishlist you have turned sharing on for, described in section 5. Sharing is always something you switch on, and turning it off in the App makes the link stop working. Treat the link itself as the key: anyone you send it to can pass it on.
Content in the partners' chat and the other shared features remains visible to your partner for as long as your accounts are linked. A link ends in one of two ways: either of you unlinks, or one of you deletes their account. For the partner who stays, both look the same, and section 13 sets out exactly what is deleted.
If your partner set up the relationship facts before you joined, you will see them and can correct them; changes update for both of you.
10. Who else receives your data
We never sell your personal data, and we do not disclose it to third parties for their own marketing. We share personal data only as described here.
Service providers (processors)
We work with companies that carry out functions on our behalf under written contracts that restrict them to using your data only to provide their service to us. They fall into these categories:
- Hosting and infrastructure: database, sign-in, file storage and secure server functions for the App, and separate hosting for the Website.
- Artificial intelligence: generating responses in the AI features from the content you provide.
- Speech-to-text: transcribing voice input.
- Product analytics and error reporting.
- Bot protection for the support form on our Website.
- Push-notification delivery, including your device platform's notification service.
- Email delivery for service messages, including the subscription emails the Website sends, waitlist emails and support replies.
- Payment processing for purchases on our Website.
- Subscription management and the app stores that process payments.
- Third-party sign-in services you choose to use.
The current providers in each category, where they are located, and the safeguards we rely on are listed on our Sub-processors page. We will update that page before adding or replacing a provider that processes your personal data.
Other organisations
If you choose “Accept all” in the Website's cookie banner, Meta receives information about your visit for advertising. If you buy something on the Website, Meta is told of the purchase whatever you chose. Meta is not our service provider for this; section 11 explains what it receives and why.
We may share personal data where the law or a public authority requires it; where we need to establish, exercise or defend legal rights (including with our professional advisers); or if we sell or transfer part of our business, in which case the organisation receiving your data may use it as described in this Policy or an equally protective one.
11. Advertising
4couple does not show third-party advertising, and we never sell your personal data. We do advertise 4couple on Meta's platforms, Facebook and Instagram. To measure those ads, the Website uses Meta's Pixel and its Conversions API. The Pixel runs only if you choose “Accept all” in our cookie banner. Before you choose, or if you reject, nothing is sent to Meta, with one exception: a purchase, described below.
If you accept:
- the Pixel tells Meta each page of the Website you open, with Meta's cookies, which identify your browser and the Meta ad you clicked;
- when you start and finish the quiz, give your email address, open the checkout, create your account or buy something, we tell Meta it happened and, for the checkout or a purchase, which plan or add-on it was and its price;
- with those last four, our server also sends Meta your email address and your account's user id, both scrambled (hashed) so that Meta can only match them to people it already knows, along with your IP address, browser details and Meta's cookies.
If you buy a plan or an add-on, our server tells Meta about that purchase whether or not you accepted: which plan or add-on it was and its price, with your email address and your account's user id, both scrambled (hashed), your IP address, your browser details and, if you arrived from one of our ads, the click id from that ad's link. If you did not accept, Meta's cookies are not read or written for this, the Pixel stays off, and nothing else about your visit is sent.
Meta uses this to measure how our ads perform and to show them to people more likely to be interested. We never send Meta your quiz answers, your name, your moods or anything you write, and nothing from the App goes to Meta. For collecting this information on the Website and sending it to Meta, Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd and we are joint controllers; what Meta then does with it is governed by Meta's own privacy policy. You can change your mind at any time by rejecting in the cookie banner, which you can reopen with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of our home page and other main pages; from then on the Website sends Meta nothing new, other than a purchase as described above.
12. Where your data is stored and sent
Your account data and our analytics are stored and processed in the European Union. Only AI processing, speech-to-text, push notifications, service email, subscription management, payments on our Website, and the hosting and bot protection of our Website leave the EU; those providers are located in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, included in our contracts with each provider, so that your data keeps a similar level of protection wherever it is handled. If you accept advertising on the Website, Meta may transfer what it receives (section 11) to the United States under its own safeguards. You can ask us for more information about these safeguards.
13. How long we keep your data
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes in this Policy. The specifics:
| Information | How long |
|---|---|
| Text of ended AI Companion sessions (private and shared) | Deleted automatically 90 days after the session ends. You can turn this off in Settings > Privacy & data, in which case the text is kept until you delete the session or your account. For shared sessions, the shorter of the two partners' settings applies, so automatic deletion still happens if either of you has it switched on, and the whole shared session goes when your link ends. |
| Session summaries and follow-up plans | Kept until you delete the session or your account, and, for a partners' chat, until your link ends. They are kept after the session text is deleted, so the AI can remember what you worked on. |
| The AI's memory of you | Kept until you clear it in Settings or delete your account. |
| Safety-classifier output and conversation signals | Kept until you delete your account. The 90-day rule above covers session text only, not these. |
| Mood entries, notes, signals and insights | Kept until you delete them or your account, so you can see your history over time. The 90-day rule above covers session text only, not these. |
| Profile, relationship, lifestyle and notification data | Kept until you delete it or your account. |
| Voice recordings | Not retained. Used only to produce the transcription. |
| Translate My Emotions raw input | Deleted once the reworded message has been produced. |
| Waitlist entries, quiz answers and referral codes | Deleted by December 13th 2026, or sooner if you ask us. A referral already credited to your account (section 5) is kept until you delete your account. |
| Quiz answers and the link you arrived from | Kept with your account until you delete it. If you leave the quiz before setting a password, kept until you ask us to delete them. |
| Website purchases, the subscription emails we sent you, and login codes | Our own records are deleted when you delete your account. Login codes work once and expire within an hour. Our payment provider keeps the record of your payments and subscription, including any cancellation reason and comment, for as long as tax and accounting law requires. |
| Analytics and diagnostics | Kept while you have an account; deleted from our analytics provider when you delete your account. |
| Support correspondence | Up to 24 months after the issue is closed. |
| Subscription records | For as long as the law requires for tax and accounting. |
When a link ends. A link ends when either of you unlinks in Settings, or when one of you deletes their account. The effect on the two of you is the same in both cases, and it is immediate.
What you made together is deleted for both of you: the partners' chat with the AI Companion, its summaries and follow-up plans, your shared watchlist and film matches, and the mood and weekly insights about you both. Neither of you keeps a copy.
What each of you made stays with whoever made it. You keep your own chat with the AI Companion and its memory of you, your own mood check-ins and notes, your personal film list, and the wishes, custom wheels, date plans and important days you created — and so does your partner. What changes is that you can no longer see each other's: their moods, notes, signals, profile and shared items stop being visible to you, and yours stop being visible to them.
You can link with someone else, or with the same person again, later. Content that was deleted when a link ended does not come back.
Deleting your account. Deleting your account does everything above and one thing more: we also delete everything that was yours alone — your account, your data in our database, your photos and other files, and your data held by our analytics provider. Nothing of yours is left for us to hold, and your former partner keeps only what is theirs. This happens immediately. Residual copies in our encrypted backups are removed within 7 days on the normal backup rotation. We may retain limited records where the law requires it (for example subscription records for tax purposes) or to resolve a dispute.
14. How we protect your data
We protect your information with encryption in transit and at rest, access controls on our systems, and by keeping sensitive keys on our servers rather than in the App. Row-level security in our database ensures that your partner can only see what section 9 says they can see, and that no other user can see your data at all.
We want to be straightforward about one thing: your conversation content is not encrypted in a way that hides it from us. A small number of our team can access stored content when needed to run and support the Services. No one monitors conversations in real time, and we do not read your content for any other purpose. We maintain an internal access policy and are adding access logging. If a data breach ever puts your rights at risk, we will notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours and tell you directly, as the law requires.
No system or transmission over the internet is ever perfectly secure. Because 4couple holds personal thoughts and feelings, we treat this content with particular care, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.
15. Your rights
You have the following rights over your personal data. To exercise any of them, email contact@4couple.ai. Many of them you can also exercise directly in the App: Settings lets you unlink from your partner and delete your account; Settings > Privacy & data lets you view and clear the AI's memory, change your session retention, turn memory off and delete individual entries.
- Access: confirm what personal data we hold about you and get a copy, including the automated safety and conversation signals we hold, which are not shown in the App.
- Correction: fix information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Deletion: have your personal data deleted, for example where we no longer need it or you withdraw consent.
- Portability: receive your data in a portable, commonly used format.
- Restriction and objection: restrict or object to our use of your data in certain circumstances, including objecting to automated profiling.
- Object to marketing: stop marketing messages at any time.
- Withdraw consent: at any time, without affecting processing that took place before.
- Human review: ask a person to review any automated outcome you believe affected you.
Using these rights is free, and we will not treat you differently for exercising them. We will respond within one month (GDPR) or 45 days (US state laws), and we may ask you to verify your identity first. If you are unhappy with our response, you can complain to a supervisory authority (section 16) or, in the US, appeal our decision (section 17).
16. Additional information for users in the EEA and the UK
Controller: WUMI sp. z o.o., ul. Prosta 20, 00-850 Warszawa, Poland. We are established in the EU, so no EU representative is required. We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer; our privacy contact is contact@4couple.ai.
Supervisory authority: our lead authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office in Poland (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, “UODO”), uodo.gov.pl. You may also complain to the authority in the country where you live. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office, ico.org.uk.
International transfers: see section 12. The safeguard we rely on for transfers to the United States is the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (and, for the UK, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum).
Automated decision-making: see section 7. Article 22 GDPR gives you the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We do not make such decisions, and you can request human review of any automated outcome.
Special category data: we process the sensitive information described in section 3 on the basis of your explicit consent under Article 9(2)(a) GDPR.
17. Additional information for users in the United States
This section supplements the rest of the Policy for residents of US states with comprehensive privacy laws, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. If you live in Washington State or Nevada, our separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy also applies to the health-related information described in section 3.
Categories of personal information
In the last 12 months we have collected the following categories of personal information, as those terms are used in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). The sources are you, your device, your linked partner, and the ad platforms whose links bring you to the Website (campaign and click identifiers); the purposes are those in sections 4, 5 and 11; the categories of recipients are those in sections 10 and 11; and retention periods are in section 13.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, email address, user id, device identifier, push token, IP address, and the advertising identifiers described in section 11 |
| Personal records | Birthday, profile photo, the brand and last four digits of your card, billing postcode |
| Protected characteristics | Gender, age or age range |
| Commercial information | Subscription status and history, purchases on the Website, offers you took, why you cancelled |
| Internet or network activity | Feature usage, screens and pages viewed, the link or ad you arrived from, diagnostics |
| Geolocation | City, country and approximate coordinates from the Date Planner; general location from IP address, including your state, to apply California's cancellation rules |
| Audio, visual and electronic information | Voice recordings for transcription, photos you add |
| Inferences | Connection type, mood and weekly insights, the AI's memory of you, conversation signals, the area the quiz focuses your plan on |
| Sensitive personal information | Account log-in credentials; contents of your messages with the AI Companion and Translate My Emotions; information revealing mental health, emotional state and sex life (mood entries and notes, intimacy signals, safety-classifier output); precise-ish location; and, where you provide it, information about your children |
Sale, sharing and sensitive personal information
We do not sell your personal information. If you choose “Accept all” in the Website's cookie banner, Meta receives identifiers, information about your activity on the Website and your purchases there, for advertising (section 11). Under the CCPA this is “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising, and other state laws call it “targeted advertising”. It happens only after you opt in, with one exception: a purchase on the Website is reported to Meta whether or not you opted in (section 11). You can opt out of the rest at any time by rejecting in the cookie banner, which “Cookie settings” at the bottom of our home page reopens. In the preceding 12 months we have shared identifiers, internet activity and commercial information with Meta in this way, and we have not sold personal information. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.
We use sensitive personal information only to provide the Services you have asked for, to keep them secure, and as otherwise permitted by law. We do not use it to infer characteristics about you for any other purpose. Because we collect sensitive information only with your separate opt-in consent and use it only for those purposes, the right to limit its use does not apply, but you may withdraw your consent at any time (section 3).
Your rights
Subject to certain limits under applicable law, you have the right to: know and access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, purposes and recipients; receive your information in a portable format; correct inaccurate information; delete personal information we have collected from you; opt out of sales, sharing, targeted advertising and profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (we do not sell or profile you in this way, and, other than a purchase, we share for advertising only if you opt in, as described above); withdraw consent to the processing of sensitive data; and not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
To exercise a right, email contact@4couple.ai or use the controls in Settings > Privacy & data. We will verify your request using the email address on your account and respond within 45 days, extendable by a further 45 days with notice. An authorised agent may submit a request on your behalf; we may ask the agent for proof of authorisation and ask you to confirm your identity directly. If we decline a request, you may appeal by replying to our decision within 45 days; we will respond to your appeal within 45 days (60 days in some states) with a written explanation. If your appeal is denied, you may contact your state attorney general.
Health breach notification
If personal health-related information we hold is disclosed without authorisation, we will notify affected users and, where required, the Federal Trade Commission, in line with the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule.
18. Children
You must be at least 18 years old to use 4couple. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you are under 18, do not use the Services or send us any information about yourself. If we learn that we hold personal data from someone under 18, we will delete it as soon as possible. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact us at contact@4couple.ai.
19. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time, for example when we add a feature or change a provider. If we make an important change, we will let you know in the App or by email before it takes effect. The date at the top shows when it was last updated, and we keep previous versions available on request.
