Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 18, 2026

Summary: Point Eight AI Pte. Ltd. operates Pipora. We collect data to run the service, including the messages you send to AI personas. We do not sell your personal data. Conversations are private by default — the Pipora’s Owner cannot read your chat unless you explicitly opt in for that conversation. We do not use the textual content of private conversations to train AI models accessible to other users.

1. Who We Are

Point Eight AI Pte. Ltd. (“Point Eight”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a company incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. We are the data controller responsible for the processing of your personal data in connection with the Pipora website at pipora.pointeight.ai and associated services (collectively, the “Services”). Our registered address is 68 Circular Road, #02-01, Singapore 049422.

2. Information We Collect

Sign-in is handled by the shared Point Eight web account system, which supports Apple Sign-In, Google Sign-In, and email one-time-passcode (OTP). If you use Apple’s “Hide My Email”, we only receive the relay email address.
Pipora persona content (Owners) The display name, biography, preset avatar selection, optional memories or knowledge inputs, visibility setting, and pricing you configure for each Pipora you create.
Chat content (Visitors and Owners) The text of your messages, the text of AI-generated replies, and any per-conversation opt-in to share the conversation with the Pipora’s Owner. Owner-authored manual replies are also included.
Feedback and support Information you provide when contacting us for support or submitting feedback.

2.2 Information collected automatically

Data Type Details
Device and browser information Browser type, operating-system version, language, and time zone, derived from the standard headers your browser sends.
Usage data Pages viewed, features used, session duration, and (for Visitors) which Piporas you have opened or chatted with.
Approximate location Country-level location derived from your IP address, used for abuse prevention, regional feature gating, and billing-tax purposes. We do not collect precise GPS location.
Log data IP address, request times, response codes, and error logs for diagnostics and abuse prevention.
Cookies and similar technologies See Section 12.

2.3 Information from third parties

When you sign in using Apple or Google, we receive the information described in Section 2.1 from the authentication provider, subject to the permissions you grant during sign-in. When you pay via Stripe, we receive transaction metadata (amount, status, last four digits of the card, country) but not your full card number or CVC.

4. AI Features and Your Data

Your AI data matters to us. This section explains how chat content is processed by AI, what is and is not used for model training, and who can see your conversations.

4.1 How chat is processed

When a Visitor sends a message to a Pipora, our edge service builds a compact prompt from the Pipora’s configured Persona Content (display name, biography, skill slots) and the recent conversation history, and sends that prompt to a third-party large-language-model provider to generate a reply. This processing involves:

4.2 Conversation visibility

By default, the Pipora’s Owner cannot read your chats. You may opt in per conversation to share the conversation history with the Owner. If you opt in:

You should treat any conversation in which you have opted in to Owner visibility as readable by another person. Do not share sensitive information you would not be willing to disclose to that Owner.

4.3 AI training data

We do not use the textual content of private Pipora conversations to train AI models that are made available to other users, unless you explicitly opt in.

We may use:

4.4 Third-party AI providers

We route AI chat requests through OpenRouter (openrouter.ai), an API routing intermediary. Depending on availability, quality, and cost, OpenRouter forwards messages to one of the following model providers for processing:

Note on data routing: Conversation text is sent only to OpenRouter and the underlying provider that OpenRouter selects for a given request. We never make direct API calls to the underlying model providers ourselves. We may add or change providers over time and will update this Privacy Policy when we make material changes. The provider list above is accurate as of the “Last updated” date.

All providers are bound by data-processing agreements that require them to process data only for the purpose of returning responses to us, not to use your data to train their own publicly available models, to implement appropriate security measures, and to delete data after processing in line with their stated retention policies.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

5.1 With other users

Persona Content that an Owner publishes to a public-visibility Pipora is visible to anyone who finds that Pipora. Unlisted Piporas are reachable only by their link; private Piporas are reachable only by the Owner. As a Visitor, your chats are visible only to you, except where you opt in to share a conversation with the Owner as described in Section 4.2.

5.2 With service providers

We share data with service providers who assist in operating the Services, including:

All service providers are bound by data-processing agreements and are required to protect your data.

5.3 For legal reasons

We may disclose your information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

5.4 Business transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will provide notice before your personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

6. International Data Transfers

Point Eight is incorporated in Singapore. Your data may be processed in:

When we transfer your data outside of your jurisdiction, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

7. Data Retention

Data Type Retention Period
Account information Until account deletion, plus up to 30 days for backup removal
Persona Content (Pipora bio, memories, settings) Until the Pipora is deleted by you, or account deletion
Chat content (messages and AI replies) Until you delete the conversation, the Owner deletes the Pipora, or account deletion
Owner-visible opt-in records Same retention as the underlying conversation
Browser and usage data Up to 12 months from collection
Log data and abuse-prevention records Up to 90 days, except where retention is required for a security investigation
Subscription, pass, and creator-ledger records As required by applicable tax and accounting laws (typically 5–7 years)

When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (for example, financial records) or for legitimate business purposes (for example, an active fraud investigation).

8. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. If we become aware of a security breach affecting your personal data, we will:
