Who we are

Animus ("we", "us", "our") is an AI character chat platform operated by the Animus team. We can be reached at support@animusapp.ai.

Information we collect

  • Account data: email, display name, hashed password (or Google profile if you sign in with Google).
  • Profile data: avatar, bio, personas you create, characters you upload.
  • Chat data: messages you send to AI characters and the AI responses.
  • Usage data: IP address, device type, app interactions, login timestamps.
  • Payment data: handled by Stripe — we never see your card details. We store transaction IDs only.

How we use it

  • To run your account and provide the chat service.
  • To process payments (via Stripe) and subscriptions.
  • To moderate uploaded images and characters for safety.
  • To send transactional emails (password resets, receipts).
  • To detect abuse, fraud, and protect the service.

Who we share it with

  • OpenRouter — chat messages are sent to OpenRouter (a third-party AI provider) to generate replies.
