Plain-English Privacy Policy

Your context stays under your control.

AskAny.ai is a desktop AI assistant for macOS and Windows, plus a companion web app for account and chat access. This policy explains what data we process, when selected content is sent to AI providers, and what controls you have.

Last updated: 19.06.2026

You choose the context

AskAny.ai does not need your entire screen or file system. It processes the text, files, screenshots, voice, or prompts you actively submit.

Provider routing is transparent

When you select an AI model, the prompt and attached context are sent to that model provider or your approved enterprise/BYOK route.

No selling personal data

We do not sell your personal data. We also do not use customer prompts or files to train AskAny-owned foundation models.

What data we process

The data we process depends on how you use AskAny. The categories below are designed to be specific enough for legal review and clear enough for normal users.

Account and billing data

Email address, login metadata, plan status, billing identifiers, invoice data, and support messages. Payments are handled by Stripe; AskAny.ai does not store full card numbers.

Content you actively submit

Prompts, selected text, selected files, cropped screenshots, voice/dictation inputs, model outputs, and saved chat history when you use features that require them.

Technical and security logs

Timestamps, app version, device/browser metadata, IP-derived security signals, error logs, usage counters, abuse-prevention data, and consent/cookie preferences.

Optional analytics

Where required by law, analytics and marketing cookies run only after consent. You can change or withdraw consent using the cookie controls on the website.

When content leaves your device

AskAny.ai works best when you attach context. We make that explicit: the selected context is sent only when you submit it to a model, feature, or workflow that requires cloud processing.

1. Select

You pick text, files, voice, or a screenshot

AskAny.ai does not silently attach everything around you.

2. Review

You choose the prompt and model

The provider may vary by selected model or enterprise routing settings.

3. Process

Context is sent for inference

Provider-specific retention and training terms may apply.

4. Save or delete

History is stored only as needed

Saved chats support search and continuity; deletion requests can be made by email.

Legal bases, retention, and transfers

Legal bases under GDPR

  • Contract performance: account, app access, billing, AI features.
  • Consent: optional analytics/cookies and optional product features where required.
  • Legal obligation: tax, accounting, and statutory retention duties.
  • Legitimate interests: security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, service reliability.

Retention

We keep account and billing records as long as required to provide the service and meet legal obligations. Chat history and submitted content may be retained to provide history/search features unless deleted or unless a business agreement specifies another retention setup.

International transfers

Some providers may process data outside the EU/EEA. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Data Processing Agreements, Standard Contractual Clauses, and provider-specific transfer mechanisms.

Enterprise and BYOK

Enterprise teams have a self-serve dashboard to configure Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) routing and enforce model visibility. When active, selected model traffic routes directly through your customer-controlled provider accounts, enforcing your own provider contract, logging, retention, and billing settings.

Hard questions, direct answers

Does AskAny.ai watch my whole screen?+

No. AskAny.ai is command-based. It processes selected text, explicitly selected files, cropped screenshots, voice input, or prompts you submit. A cropped screenshot feature sends the captured region, not continuous screen recordings.

Are my prompts or files used to train AI models?+

AskAny.ai does not train its own foundation models on your prompts or files. For third-party AI providers, handling depends on the provider, plan, route, and contract. AskAny-managed business/API routes are configured to use no-training options where supported. With BYOK, your provider account and provider contract control training, logging, and retention.

Can AskAny.ai employees read my chats?+

Access is limited to what is necessary for support, security, debugging, abuse prevention, legal obligations, and service operations. We design support workflows to minimize access to user content wherever possible.

Is AskAny.ai suitable for confidential or regulated data?+

Do not submit secrets, third-party confidential data, special categories of personal data, healthcare data, or regulated data unless you have the right to do so and an appropriate agreement and provider route are in place. Enterprise customers can request DPA/AVV, provider allow-lists, BYOK, and stricter retention settings.

Can I delete my data?+

You can request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent by contacting us. Some billing or legal records may need to be retained for statutory periods.
