Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 19, 2026

Welcome to Hammer AI. We understand that engaging in AI roleplay and conversational interactions requires a profound level of trust. At Hammer AI, your privacy and the security of your digital experiences are our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines how Hammer AI ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your personal information when you access our website, applications, desktop software, and services (collectively, the "Service").

We recognize the deeply personal and private nature of the interactions you share with your Hammer AI companions. By accessing or using the Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. The Hammer AI Privacy Advantage: Cloud vs. Local Execution

A core pillar of the best Hammer AI experience is our commitment to user sovereignty. Unlike many competitors that force all data through centralized cloud servers, Hammer AI offers a dual-execution model.

  • Local Execution (Desktop App): If you choose to use our desktop application combined with local models (such as those run via Ollama), your chat logs, generated images, and character data never leave your physical device. We do not transmit, read, or store this local interaction data. In this mode, your privacy is absolute, bounded only by the physical security of your own hardware.
  • Cloud Execution: If you utilize our fast, cloud-hosted models, your interaction data is securely transmitted to our servers for processing. The details of how this cloud data is handled are outlined in the sections below.

2. Information We Collect (Cloud & Account Services)

To provide you with a highly personalized and seamless experience, we must collect certain information about you and your usage of our platform when interacting with our online services.

A. Information You Provide to Us Directly

  • Account Registration Data: When you register for an account to create your AI character or sync favorites, we collect your email address, a chosen username, and a password. You may also choose to link third-party accounts (like Google, Apple, or Discord) for easier sign-in, from which we receive basic profile information.
  • Billing Information: If you upgrade to a premium subscription to access advanced features, our third-party payment processors (such as Stripe or crypto gateways) collect your billing details. Hammer AI does not directly store full credit card numbers on our servers.
  • User Inputs and Preferences: Any preferences you set regarding the appearance, personality, voice, and lorebooks of your AI girlfriend, AI boyfriend, or roleplay scenarios are stored to customize your experience across devices.

B. Interaction Data and Chat Logs (Cloud Hosted Only)

When using our cloud servers, the core functionality of Hammer AI Chat requires us to process your conversational exchanges. We temporarily store textual prompts, image generation requests, and generated responses. This interaction data is necessary to maintain context in your ongoing conversations and ensure your AI companion "remembers" you across sessions. We do not use your private, uncensored roleplay chats to train our foundational language models.

C. Automatically Collected Information

  • Device and Usage Data: We automatically collect telemetry information about how you access the Service. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, referring URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, and the dates and times of your visits.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service, maintain your login session, and hold certain information to enhance your user experience.

3. How We Use Your Information

Hammer AI uses the collected data for various operational, personalization, and security purposes, including:

  • To Provide and Maintain the Service: To authenticate your login, process your subscription payments, and route your requests to the appropriate LLM processing nodes.
  • To Personalize Your Experience: Your chat history (if cloud-hosted) and lorebook preferences are utilized solely to provide contextually relevant, personalized responses. This ensures that your AI partner remembers past interactions and maintains narrative consistency.
  • For Security and Safety: We monitor platform metadata using automated systems to prevent abuse, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect the integrity of the Hammer AI infrastructure against malicious attacks or scraping bots.
  • For Customer Support: To assist you when you contact our support team regarding technical issues, account recovery, or billing inquiries.

4. How We Share Your Information

Hammer AI firmly believes that your private chats are your own. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or private chat logs to third-party data brokers, marketing firms, or advertisers. We only share your data under the following strictly defined circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We employ third-party companies to facilitate our Service, such as secure cloud hosting providers (e.g., AWS, GPU clusters), payment processors, and essential analytics services. These third parties have access to your personal data only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency), specifically in cases involving investigations of illegal activity, child exploitation, or imminent threats to physical safety.
  • Business Transfers: If Hammer AI is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as part of that business asset. We will provide notice before your personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

5. Data Security and Encryption

We understand that conversations with an AI companion can be highly intimate. Hammer AI implements robust, industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We utilize Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) encryption for all data in transit. Cloud-stored data, including your account credentials and chat history, is encrypted at rest using AES-256 protocols.

Despite our extensive efforts, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security against state-level actors or unprecedented zero-day vulnerabilities.

6. Your Data Rights and Choices

Depending on your location (such as residents of the European Economic Area under the GDPR, or California residents under the CCPA), you may have specific rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access and Portability: You have the right to request an exported copy of the personal data we hold about you, including your cloud-saved chat logs and custom characters.
  • Correction: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete account information.
  • Deletion (Right to be Forgotten): You can request the total deletion of your account and associated data. You can delete your account directly from your Hammer AI dashboard. Upon account deletion, your profile, cloud chat history, and uploaded lorebooks will be permanently scrubbed from our active databases, subject only to minimal legal retention requirements.
  • Opt-Out of Marketing: You may opt-out of receiving promotional communications from us by following the unsubscribe link provided in those emails.

7. Children's Privacy

The Hammer AI platform frequently involves mature, uncensored roleplay and is strictly restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from minors, we take immediate steps to remove that information and permanently terminate the associated account.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that our primary cloud infrastructure processes data within the United States. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technological practices, execution models, or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective immediately when they are posted on this page.

10. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or formal requests regarding this Privacy Policy, our data processing practices, or your rights under the GDPR/CCPA, please contact our privacy compliance team. You can reach out securely via the support portal located within your Hammer AI Account Settings.
