They can cut off your access at any time for breaking rules, safety, or unpaid bills. The terms do not promise a warning first.

Words to know
Legal words from the lines above, in plain English.
- third parties
- Any company or person other than you and the app, such as advertisers, partners or analytics firms. For example, an analytics company that receives a record of every screen you tap is a third party.
- sell or share
- Under California law, selling means passing your data to others for money or other value; sharing means passing it on for targeted ads. For example, letting an ad network use your browsing history in return for ad space counts as a sale.
- personal data
- Any information that is about you or can be linked to you, from your name to your phone's ID. For example, your email, your IP address and the list of apps on your phone are all personal data.
- targeted advertising
- Ads chosen for you based on what you have done across other apps and websites, not just this one. For example, you look at shoes in one app and see shoe ads in a totally different app the next day.
- CCPA
- California's privacy law, which gives residents the right to see, delete and stop the sale of their data. For example, a Californian can ask the app to stop selling their data and it must comply.
- retention
- How long a company keeps your data before deleting it. For example, a policy might keep your messages for 30 days after you delete them, or for as long as it likes.
- right to erasure
- Your right to have a company delete the personal data it holds about you, with some exceptions. For example, you can ask a social app to wipe your old posts and profile and it must, unless a law says otherwise.
- indemnify
- You promise to pay the company's legal costs and losses if your use of the service gets it sued. For example, if you post a song you do not own and the label sues the app, you owe the app's lawyer bills.
- limitation of liability
- A cap on what the company will ever pay you if something goes wrong, often only what you paid in the last year. For example, if a leak of your data costs you thousands, the most you may get back is a month's subscription fee.
- cookies
- Small files a website saves on your device so it can recognise you and remember what you did. For example, a cookie keeps you logged in and can also tell an ad company which sites you visited.
- consent
- Your clear agreement to something, given by an action like ticking a box or tapping Accept. For example, a pop-up asking if the app may use your location is asking for consent.
- worldwide license
- You let the company use your content anywhere on earth, usually for free and for as long as it likes. For example, a video you post can be shown in ads in any country without asking you again.

What does the app collect beyond what it needs to work?
Besides your phone number and the texts or photos you send, they collect device, browser, and usage data, timestamps, and diagnostics. If you connect email or a calendar, they can read that content too.
Does it record your voice, face or body, and what happens to that?
Ollie is a text assistant. The documents do not say they record your voice, face, or body as a biometric identifier. Photos you choose to send are treated as message content.
Are your chats and uploads used to train AI models, and is that off by default?
Not stated in the documents.
Can employees or contractors read your conversations, and when?
They say message content may be reviewed to improve Ollie’s systems. The documents do not describe an opt-out for that review.
Are you profiled or tracked for advertising?
They say they do not share your messages for cross-context behavioral ads. On the website, advertising cookies may be set by other companies to track you across sites, but only if you consent on the cookie banner.
Do they sell or share your data, and can you opt out?
They explicitly say they do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. They do share data with service providers who work for them, including AI companies.
What rights do they take over what you type and what the AI makes?
You own what you send. You give them a limited permission to host and use it to run, improve, and protect the service, and that permission ends when the content is deleted from their systems.
How long do they keep your data after you delete it, and can you delete it in the app?
You delete by texting Ollie or emailing them, not through a described in-app button. Phone and profile data are deleted within 30 days, with backups purged within 90 days. Messages can otherwise be kept up to 24 months, and billing records up to about 7 years.
Does it build a lasting memory or profile of you, and can you see, edit or turn it off?
They store preferences, goals, or reminders you ask Ollie to remember. The documents do not describe a way to view, edit, or switch off that memory separately from deleting your data.
Do they commit to basic security, and have they leaked data?
They describe encryption, access limits, logging, security testing, and vendor reviews, and they say they are SOC 2 Type I compliant. The documents do not mention a past data leak.
Is there a real age gate, and are teens protected?
Ollie is for adults 18 and older. You only have to say you are 18. They do not describe an age check, and they say they do not knowingly collect information directly from children under 13.
Will they tell you when the rules change, and is the policy specific?
They say they will update a “Last updated” date and notify you of material changes when appropriate, but these documents do not show a date. Continued use after changes means you accept the new terms.
Can they close your account without warning, and can you get your data out first?
They can suspend or end your access at any time, including for rule breaks, safety, or nonpayment. They do not promise notice before they close access, and they do not describe a way to export your data first.
If something goes wrong, who pays?
The service is “as is,” and what they pay is capped at the greater of $120 or what you paid in the prior 12 months. You also agree to cover their legal costs for claims from your misuse, your content, breaking these terms, or breaking the law.
Do subscriptions renew on their own, and can you get a refund?
Paid plans renew automatically until you cancel by texting Ollie or emailing hello@ollie.ai. They generally do not refund partial billing periods, except where the law requires it. Price changes get at least 30 days’ notice.
