Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 6, 2026Ghost of You is operated by Ghost of You LLC ("Ghost of You," "we," "us," or "our"), the company responsible for your data under this policy. Ghost of You lets you create an AI voice clone of your own voice and have spoken, AI-generated phone conversations — with your own clone, with a friend's clone, or by sending your clone to call a friend who has accepted you. This policy explains what we collect, how the AI conversation pipeline works, and the third parties that process your data.## 1. Information We CollectAccount & identity — your phone number (used for sign-in via SMS one-time passcode), display name, and any optional profile photo you add.Contacts (optional) — only if you choose to use the contact picker: the app reads your device's contacts to help you find friends and send invites. Contact information is used on your device to display the picker; a contact's phone number is sent to our servers only when you take an action with it — matching a contact to an existing user or sending them an invite. We do not upload, copy, or store your address book.Voice & audio — the voice sample you record to create your AI voice clone, and the live audio of calls while you are using the service.Conversation content — the text of your conversations (your speech is converted to text, and the AI's spoken replies), the "purpose" and "personality" text you write, and AI-generated summaries. We store a transcript and a short summary of completed calls so you can review your recent calls in the app.Clips (short shareable videos) — if you or a friend creates a clip, we store a rendered video of up to the last 30 seconds of that conversation, including its audio and on-screen captions, plus the separate audio stems used to build it. See Section 6.Safety data — reports you submit, blocked-user relationships, and related moderation records.Usage & diagnostics — call-session metadata (duration, timestamps), device and app information, IP address, and crash/error diagnostics used to operate and improve the service.Calendar Presence (optional, off by default) — only if you turn it on and grant calendar access: a minimal summary of your current and next calendar event, at the detail level you choose (free/busy, event title, or title and location). See Section 5.Call invites (optional) — if your call produces a concrete plan, we store the proposed title, time, and location so both people can confirm or dismiss it. If you choose to add it to your calendar, the event is written to your own device's calendar — we do not store a copy of your calendar or write to it ourselves.## 2. How Your Voice Calls Are Processed (the AI pipeline)Creating your voice clone and running a live conversation require specialized third-party providers. Those providers are described in Section 7.- Your voice sample is sent to Cartesia, our voice provider, to create your personal AI voice model (a voiceprint). The raw sample is not retained by us after the clone is created.
- During a call, your voice, the call audio, and the text of the conversation are processed by the AI and audio providers identified in Section 7 in order to generate and speak your clone's replies.
- The free text you write (a call "purpose" or a clone "personality") is screened by an automated content-moderation service before use, to block harassment, hate, threats, and other prohibited content.Provider model training. Under their own terms, some of these providers — including our voice provider (Cartesia) and our AI model provider (xAI / Grok) — may use the content they process, which can include your voice recording and the audio and text exchanged during calls, to improve and train their own AI models. Where a provider offers a way to opt out of such training, you may ask us to request it for your content by emailing us at the address in Section 13.## 3. How We Use Your Data- To authenticate your account, create and operate your voice clone, and power live conversations.
- To store transcripts and summaries so you can review your recent calls.
- To enforce safety: content moderation, reports, blocking, and abuse prevention.
- To operate, secure, debug, and improve the service.We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers.## 4. Voice Clones & Biometric DataYour AI voice model is a biometric identifier derived from your voice. You consent that (a) the voice you record is your own, and (b) you authorize Ghost of You LLC and our voice provider to process that recording to create and operate your clone within the app. You may delete your voice clone and account data at any time from the Settings screen. You may only create a clone of your own voice — see our Terms of Service.## 5. Calls Involving Other PeopleCalls connect two people's accounts (for example, you talking to a friend's clone, or your clone calling a friend who accepted you). During such a call, the live audio of both participants is processed as described above, and a transcript and summary may be stored and made available to participants of that call. Only people who have mutually accepted each other as friends can call one another.Calendar Presence (optional). If you enable Calendar Presence during onboarding or in settings and grant calendar permission, your app reads a minimal summary of your current and next calendar event — at the detail level you choose (free/busy only, event title, or title and location) — and stores that small summary so your AI voice clone can reference it to approved friends who call you (for example, "I'm out until 2"). We read only your current and next event; we do not read or store event notes, attendees, invitation links/URLs, all-day events (unless you allow them), or events marked private. Because the summary is included in the prompt that generates your clone's replies, it is processed by our AI model provider (xAI / Grok) during such a call. People who call you never see or browse your calendar — only your clone can mention the limited summary, and only friends you have accepted can call you. You can turn Calendar Presence off at any time, which deletes the stored summary.## 6. ClipsWhat a clip is. A clip is a short video — up to the last 30 seconds of a conversation — rendered from the call's audio with on-screen captions, the participants' names and profile photos, and a visible label identifying the voices as AI clones. We store the rendered video and the separate audio stems used to build it.Consent is required, per friendship, and revocable. A clip of your ghost can only be created by a friend you have accepted in the app, and you can withdraw that permission at any time in the Friends screen. Withdrawing it stops any new clips of your ghost from being made. It does not un-make clips that already exist, and it cannot recall a clip that has already been shared outside the app. Blocking someone additionally hides their existing clips from you.Two people appear in a clip. A clip necessarily contains both sides of the conversation. Whoever creates it can see, trim, and share it.The other participant is notified. When a clip is finalized, the other person in the conversation is notified that it was created.Sharing leaves our control. Once a clip is exported or shared to another app or service, that copy is outside Ghost of You and outside this policy. Deleting a clip here does not retrieve copies already shared elsewhere.What happens to clips when an account is deleted. This is deliberately asymmetric, because a clip involves two people:- Clips of your ghost are deleted with your account — the video, the audio stems, and the preview image.
- Clips you made of a friend's ghost are not deleted. That friend consented to those clips existing and they remain available to them, no longer linked to your account.See Section 8 for the full picture of what account deletion does and does not remove.## 7. Third-Party Service ProvidersWe share data with third-party processors only as needed to provide the service. The providers that process your voice, your call content, or the text you write are identified by name:- Cartesia — AI voice cloning and real-time speech processing. Privacy Policy · Terms.
- LiveKit — real-time call/audio transport. Privacy Policy.
- xAI (Grok) — the AI model that generates your clone's conversational replies. Privacy Policy.
- OpenAI — automated content moderation of text you submit. Privacy Policy.
- Apple — delivers push and incoming-call notifications to your device (APNs), and processes any subscription payments; we do not receive your full payment details.We also rely on standard infrastructure and operational service providers:- authentication, database, and file storage providers;
- an SMS delivery provider (for sign-in verification codes);
- cloud hosting providers;
- crash and error diagnostic services;
- email delivery services (for safety-report notifications to our moderation team).## 8. Data Retention & DeletionYour account, voice clone, conversations, and clips are kept until you delete them or delete your account. Deleting your account from Settings removes your profile and phone number, your voice clone (including at our voice provider, Cartesia), your transcripts and call summaries, your voice messages and their audio, your avatar, clips of your ghost, your calendar snapshot, and your push notification tokens.Some records are deliberately kept, because they are not solely yours:- Clips you made of a friend's ghost remain with that friend, who consented to them (Section 6).
- Records of calls other people made to your ghost are retained in reduced form — the conversation transcript is deleted, but the basic call record remains, because it is also the other person's usage and billing history.
- Safety reports you filed or that were filed about you are retained for moderation integrity.Each third-party provider stores and deletes what it processes under its own policy — see the links in Section 7. Limited records may be retained where required for legal, security, billing, or abuse-prevention purposes.Future retention limits. We may introduce automatic expiry for older content such as voice messages, transcripts, or clips. If we do, we will describe it here before it takes effect.## 9. Your RightsYou can access and delete your data at any time using the "Delete Account" and clone-deletion features in Settings, or by emailing us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to access, correct, port, or restrict processing of your data, and to lodge a complaint with a regulator.## 10. SecurityWe use industry-standard measures to protect your data in transit and at rest. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to safeguard your information and to notify you of material incidents where required.## 11. ChildrenGhost of You is intended for users 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.## 12. ChangesWe may update this policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice where appropriate.## 13. ContactThis service is operated by Ghost of You LLC.
