Safety and Report a reply

Your privacy, in plain words

  • What you type or say to Sarah goes to Kinto’s servers, and our AI provider uses it to write Sarah’s replies.
  • Your conversations are saved to your account so Sarah can remember you and you can come back to them.
  • While spoken replies are on, the text of Sarah’s replies is sent to our voice provider to create her voice.
  • Dictation uses your phone’s speech recognition (usually Google’s), which may send your audio to Google.
  • Kinto has no adverts and doesn’t sell your information.

The privacy policy names every provider, says where your information goes and how long it’s kept, and explains your rights.
