Privacy Policy — Fruit People

Fruit People is an 18+ AI companion app operated by Boole (boole.digital). In the app you text and voice-call fictional AI characters — the "fruit people" who live on "Cashew Street." These characters are artificial intelligence, not real people, and everything they say is AI-generated.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use Fruit People, why we collect it, who we share it with to run the service, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to the Fruit People mobile app (bundle identifier markets.boole.fruitpeople) and the website fruitpeople.fun.

If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use Fruit People.

1. Information we collect and why

We collect only what we need to create your account, let you chat and call the AI characters, provide your subscription, keep the service secure, and support you.

What we collect	Why we collect it
Display name	A name you provide so characters can address you and personalize conversations.
Gender	A gender you self-select, used to personalize your experience.
Age confirmation (18+)	Your confirmation that you are at least 18 years old, required to use this adult app.
Text chat messages	The messages you send to AI characters, processed to generate replies and stored as your conversation history so characters can remember context.
Voice audio during calls	Audio captured while you are on a voice call, streamed in real time to our AI provider and transcribed so the character can respond. See Section 2.
Photos and images you share	Photos you take with the camera or pick from your library and send in a chat or on a call, and images you post to Fruitstagram. We do not perform facial recognition and do not collect or store facial biometrics or face geometry; each image is turned once into a short written description so characters can react to it. See Section 3.
Account & sign-in data	When you use Sign in with Apple, we receive an Apple user identifier and, if you allow it, a relay email address so we can create and authenticate your account. (Phone-number sign-in may be offered in the future.)
Subscription status	Whether you have an active Fruit People subscription and your remaining voice-minute allowance, so we can deliver the right features. Apple handles the actual billing.
Usage & diagnostics	Basic technical and usage data (such as app events, crashes, and performance signals) to keep the app working, fix bugs, and prevent abuse.

We do not see your payment card. All purchases are processed by Apple. We never collect or store your credit-card or bank details. See Section 6.

2. Voice and audio handling

Voice calls are a core feature of Fruit People. Here is exactly how your audio is handled:

Real-time processing. When you are on a voice call, your microphone audio is streamed in real time to our AI provider, xAI (the Grok realtime API), so the character can hear you and respond during the conversation.
Transcription. Your speech is transcribed into text so the AI can understand it and generate a reply. The transcript is what powers the conversation.
Retention. Audio is processed to produce the live conversation and its transcript. The resulting transcript may be stored as part of your conversation history to provide memory and continuity across calls and sessions (see Section 3). When you delete your account, your associated conversation data is removed as described in Section 8.
Your control. Audio is only captured while you are actively in a voice call. You control when calls start and end, and you can grant or revoke microphone permission at any time in your device settings — though voice features will not work without it.

New users receive a small amount of free voice time, and continued voice use is part of the subscription (see Section 6). Texting the characters does not involve audio.

3. AI-generated content, memory and continuity

The fruit people are fictional AI characters. Their messages, voices, and personalities are generated by artificial intelligence and are not the words of real people. AI-generated content may be imperfect, inconsistent, or inaccurate, and should not be relied upon as professional, medical, legal, financial, or other advice.

To make conversations feel continuous, your messages and call transcripts may be stored and used to give characters memory — so a character can recall earlier parts of your conversation and maintain context over time. This stored conversation history is tied to your account and is removed when you delete your account.

Photos, camera and images. If you choose to share a photo — taken with your camera, picked from your library, or posted to Fruitstagram — the image is sent to our servers and passed once to a vision provider (Google Gemini, via OpenRouter) that returns a short plain-text description of the scene. Characters react only to that written description. We do not run facial recognition, face matching, Face ID, or any face-geometry or depth analysis, and we do not build or store faceprints or other facial biometrics. The camera is used only for live video during a call and for photos you actively choose to send, and access is requested at the point of use. Photos you have shared and their descriptions are stored while your account is active and are deleted when you delete your account (see Section 8).

Live video on calls. During a voice call you may optionally turn on your camera. This live camera preview is rendered on your device only. Video frames are never transmitted to our servers, sent to any third party, recorded by us, or analysed in any way. If you record a call to share it, that recording is a screen capture you initiate and control on your own device. Aside from this on-device preview, the camera is used only for photos you actively choose to send, and access is requested at the point of use.

4. Third parties and service providers

We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run Fruit People. We share data with them only as needed to operate the service, and they are permitted to use it only for that purpose.

Provider	Role & what is shared
xAI	Provides the Grok realtime AI. Your text messages and voice audio are sent to xAI to generate the characters' responses and to transcribe your speech.
OpenRouter / Google	When you share a photo, the image is sent once to a vision model (Google Gemini, accessed via OpenRouter) to generate a short written description of it. This is used only to describe the picture so characters can react; it is not used for facial recognition, identification, or advertising.
DigitalOcean	Hosting and infrastructure. Your account and conversation data are stored and processed on servers we operate using DigitalOcean.
Apple	Handles Sign in with Apple (authentication) and In-App Purchases (subscription billing). Apple provides us your Apple user identifier and, if allowed, a relay email; Apple — not us — processes your payment details.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising or cross-app ad tracking.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, to comply with a valid legal process, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or Boole.

5. Legal bases and consent

Where data-protection laws such as the EU/UK GDPR apply, we rely on the following legal bases to process your information:

Performance of a contract — to create your account and provide the chat, voice, and subscription features you request.
Consent — you confirm you are 18 or older, and you consent to microphone access and to the real-time processing and transcription of your voice when you make a call. You may withdraw consent at any time (for example, by revoking microphone permission or deleting your account), which will stop the related processing going forward.
Legitimate interests — to keep the service secure and reliable, prevent abuse and fraud, diagnose problems, and improve Fruit People, balanced against your rights.
Legal obligation — where we must process or retain data to comply with applicable law.

6. Subscriptions and payments

Fruit People offers an auto-renewable subscription:

Fruit People — USD $14.99 per month, billed through your Apple ID.
Texting the characters is free. New users receive 5 free voice minutes. Continued voice calling requires an active subscription, which includes a daily voice-minute allowance.
Your subscription auto-renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store / Apple ID account settings. Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by the developer, and we cannot cancel or refund on your behalf.

All billing is handled by Apple. We receive confirmation of your subscription status but never your card or bank information.

7. Your choices and rights

You have control over your information within the app and, depending on where you live, under applicable law:

Access & correction. You can view and update profile details such as your display name in the app, and you may contact us to request access to the personal data we hold about you.
Account & data deletion. You can delete your account directly in the app. In-app account deletion removes your account and associated data, including your conversation history, subject to the retention notes in Section 8.
Report content. You can report content through the in-app reporting tool. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours.
Block a character. You can block a character so you no longer interact with it.
Withdraw consent. You can revoke microphone permission in your device settings, and you can stop using voice or text features at any time.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. To exercise any right, contact us at support@fruitpeople.fun.

8. Data retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as we need it to provide the service and for the purposes described in this policy:

Account and profile data is retained while your account is active.
Conversation history (text messages and call transcripts) is retained to provide memory and continuity while your account is active.
Photos and images you shared, and the written descriptions generated from them, are retained while your account is active and are deleted when you delete your account.
When you delete your account, we remove your account and associated data, including your conversation history and any photos you shared. Some information may persist briefly in backups or where retention is required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Our service providers (see Section 4) process data according to their own terms and retention practices in order to deliver their part of the service.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption of data in transit and access controls on our hosting environment. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please protect your device and your Apple account, since they control access to Fruit People.

10. International data transfers

Boole operates globally, and our providers — including xAI, DigitalOcean, and Apple — may process and store data in countries outside your own, including the United States. These countries may have different data-protection laws than where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers. By using Fruit People, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in these locations to provide the service.

11. Children

Fruit People is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. The app is not intended for or directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

You must confirm you are at least 18 years old to use the app. If we learn that we have collected information from someone under 18, we will delete it. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@fruitpeople.fun.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the app, our providers, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice in the app. Your continued use of Fruit People after an update means you accept the revised policy.
