Your Privacy

Call Your Girlfriend (“CYG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at callyourgirlfriend.com (the “Site”). We publish reviews of AI companion apps, editorial articles about relationships and technology, and an archive of the Call Your Girlfriend podcast. This Privacy Policy explains what information we handle when you visit the Site and how we treat it.

We try to collect as little as possible. We don't sell your personal information, and we don't run accounts or logins on the Site today.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. If you email us (for example at info@callyourgirlfriend.com), we receive your email address and whatever you choose to put in your message. We use that information only to respond to you.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools automatically log basic technical data when you visit — your IP address, browser type and version, device type, the pages you view, referring URLs, and the date and time of your visit. This helps us understand traffic and keep the Site working.

Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality and for aggregate analytics. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; some parts of the Site may not work as well without them. See “Cookies” below.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
• understand which content is useful through aggregate analytics;
• respond to your emails, questions, tips, and corrections;
• protect the Site against fraud, abuse, and security threats;
• comply with legal obligations.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to remember basic preferences and to gather anonymous, aggregated statistics about how the Site is used. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. If you block cookies, some features may not function correctly.

Analytics

We use third-party analytics services to measure traffic and understand how visitors use the Site. These providers may set their own cookies and process technical data (such as your IP address) on our behalf. The data we review is aggregated and not used to personally identify you.

Affiliate Links & Third-Party Sites

Some links on the Site are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up or buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes our editorial verdicts. When you follow a link to a third-party app or website, you leave our Site, and your information is then handled under that company's own privacy policy — not ours. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any service you visit or sign up for.

How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share limited information only with:

• service providers who help us run the Site (such as hosting and analytics providers), under appropriate confidentiality terms;
• authorities or other parties when required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property;
• a successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Server and analytics logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized. Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to handle your request and our records.

Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or limit the use of your personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. To make a request, email us at info@callyourgirlfriend.com. You can also control cookies through your browser and opt out of many analytics cookies at the browser level. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

International Visitors

We operate from the United States, and your information may be processed and stored there or in other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be transferred to jurisdictions with different data protection laws than your own.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be reflected here, so please check back periodically.
