Purro

Last updated: August 25, 2026

Purro is an app where you have a spoken English conversation with a hand-painted cat character. This policy explains, plainly, what happens to your data when you use it.

Signing in

Purro signs you in anonymously. There is no account to create, no email address, no name, and no social login. Your session is identified only by a randomly generated identifier that is not tied to your real identity.

Your voice conversation

When you talk with Purro, your device's microphone audio streams directly from your phone to OpenAI's Realtime API over an encrypted connection, using a short-lived, single-use access token that our server issues right before you connect. Your voice audio does not pass through our servers — we never receive or handle the audio stream itself.

We do not store the content of your conversation — what you said or what Purro said — in any form, on our servers or in our database. We keep no recording and no transcript of your conversations on our side.

OpenAI processes your voice audio as the AI service provider that powers the conversation, under its own privacy and data-use policies. We have not arranged any special data-retention agreement with OpenAI beyond what OpenAI states in its own policies, so OpenAI's standard retention practices for its Realtime API apply to that processing. See OpenAI's Privacy Policy for details.

What our server does store

Our server does not see or store what you say. To run the app, our database keeps two kinds of records tied to your anonymous identifier:

• Your entitlement: your current tier, how many conversation minutes you've been allotted, and the start/end dates of your current billing period.
• Session records: for each conversation, when it started and ended, how many seconds you used, which AI model and voice were used, and token-usage counts we use to monitor cost. These are usage metadata only — never the words spoken.

Microphone permission

Purro asks for microphone access solely to capture your speech during a conversation with Purro. It is not used for anything else, and you can decline or revoke it at any time in iOS Settings.

Subscriptions and payments

Purro's subscriptions are purchased through the App Store. We never see or handle your payment details — Apple processes the payment.

To know which subscription you hold, we use RevenueCat, a subscription-management service, as our processor. For that purpose RevenueCat receives your anonymous identifier and the purchase record for this app (which product, when it was purchased, when the period ends, and whether it is a sandbox or production purchase). We use it only to grant the conversation minutes you paid for — never for advertising.

No advertising, no tracking

Purro contains no third-party advertising and no analytics, attribution, or tracking SDKs. The only third-party services involved are the AI service that powers the conversation and the subscription-management service described above, both used strictly to run the app. We do not build advertising profiles from your usage, and we do not sell or share your personal data.

AI-generated content

Purro's replies are generated in real time by an AI model. They are not reviewed by a person before you hear them, and they may be inaccurate or nonsensical. See our Terms of Use for the limits of what Purro's responses should be relied on for.

Children and age

Purro is intended for adults and is not directed to children. The minimum age to use Purro is 13, consistent with OpenAI's own API terms. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

Your choices

• You can stop using the app at any time; deleting the app removes anything stored locally on your device.
• Because sign-in is anonymous, we have no email address or account to look up your data by. If you contact us to request that your usage records be deleted, we will do what we reasonably can, but we may not always be able to match a request to a specific anonymous identifier.
• You can disable microphone access in iOS Settings → Purro at any time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app changes. We'll update the date above when we do.
