Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 5, 2026

Overview

ClawChat AI ("ClawChat", "we", "our") is designed with privacy as a core principle. Your conversations and personal data stay on your device. We do not collect, store, or sell your personal information.

Data That Stays on Your Device

All chat messages and conversation history
Bob's memory of your preferences and interests
Search results and web content
Voice transcriptions

This data is stored locally on your iPhone using SQLite and JSON files. If you enable iCloud sync (PRO), your data syncs privately through your personal iCloud account - we never see it.

Data We Process

When you send a message, it is transmitted to our server solely to generate a response from the AI model (Claude by Anthropic). We do not log or store the content of your messages. Our server processes your message in real time and discards it immediately after responding.

Data We Collect

Anonymous Device ID - A random identifier stored in your device's Keychain, used only for rate limiting (tracking daily message count). We log only the first 8 characters.
Message Count - The number of messages sent per day, for enforcing free/PRO tier limits.
Timezone - Your timezone identifier, used to reset your daily message count at your local midnight.

That's it. No names, no emails, no phone numbers, no IP address logging, no analytics, no advertising identifiers.

Third-Party Services

Anthropic (Claude) - Your messages are sent to Anthropic's API to generate responses. Anthropic's usage policy applies. See anthropic.com/privacy.
Brave Search - If Bob performs a web search on your behalf, the search query is sent to Brave Search. See brave.com/privacy.
Microsoft Edge TTS - Text-to-speech is generated using Microsoft's Edge TTS service. No conversation content is shared beyond the specific response being spoken.
Apple - If you subscribe to PRO, Apple processes your payment. We do not receive or store your payment information.

Open Source

Our server code is open source. You can inspect exactly what data we handle and verify our privacy claims at github.com/wearebob1000-dev/clawchat-api.

Data Deletion

Since your data lives on your device, you have full control. Delete the app to remove all local data. If you use iCloud sync, you can also delete your data from iCloud Drive.

Children's Privacy

ClawChat is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
