Effective Date: September 26, 2026
Stake Development LLC (“Wyd,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Wyd mobile application (iOS). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service.
In short: Wyd has no accounts and no sign-in. Your matches and conversations are stored on your device, not on our servers. The profile you create during setup is saved privately to our servers, and the text of your chat messages is sent to an AI provider so characters can reply. We run no advertising or analytics trackers of any kind, and we never sell your data.
None. Wyd does not require you to create an account or sign in. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or social login details.
Information you enter during setup to personalise your experience — display name, gender, date of birth and star sign, who you are interested in (men, women or both), bio, and profile photo. This is stored on your device and a copy is saved to our servers when you finish setup, together with a random identifier for your install and the app version. It is stored privately: it is not visible to other users, and only we can access it. Your preference for who you are interested in may indicate your sexual orientation; we use it only to understand our audience and never share it.
Messages you exchange with AI characters. Your conversation history is stored on your device. The text of your messages is sent to a third-party AI provider to generate replies (see Section 3).
A profile photo you optionally choose from your photo library. It is uploaded to a private storage area on our servers along with your profile. It is never shown to other users and never sent to an AI provider. Wyd does not access any other photos in your library.
If you buy gems or a VIP subscription, the transaction is handled by Apple and by RevenueCat, our subscription management provider. RevenueCat assigns a randomly generated, pseudonymous identifier to your install so purchases can be restored. It is not linked to your name or email. We never receive or store your payment card details.
Wyd does not contain any analytics SDK. We do not collect information about how you use the app.
Basic technical information such as device model, OS version and app version may be included in crash and diagnostic reports provided by Apple.
None. Wyd shows no advertising and contains no advertising, attribution or analytics SDKs. We do not collect your IDFA or IDFV, and no App Tracking Transparency prompt is shown because there is nothing to track.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising or cross-context behavioural purposes.
Your chat messages are processed by third-party large language model (LLM) providers — currently DeepSeek and/or Groq — to generate AI character responses. Messages are relayed through our own server function so that provider API keys are never shipped inside the app.
What is sent to the provider:
The recent messages in that conversation, including text you have typed
The character’s own description and writing style
The display name you entered during onboarding, if you provided one, so the character can address you by name
Because your typed messages are transmitted verbatim, any personal information you choose to type into a chat is sent to that provider. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal details in conversations.
The AI Profile insight feature additionally sends aggregate statistics about your in-app activity, such as how many characters you have matched with and which character types you tend to prefer.
Your data is not used to train AI models
Messages are processed solely to generate in-app responses
We do not send your profile photo, date of birth, or bio to any AI provider
We do not retain your conversations on our servers — they live on your device
We use the following third-party services:
Supabase — hosting for the character catalogue and character photos, the server function that relays chat requests, and private storage of the profile you create during setup and of any reports you submit
DeepSeek, Groq — AI language model processing
RevenueCat — subscription and purchase management
Apple In-App Purchase — iOS payment processing
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their policies.
Your matches and conversations are stored only on your device. Deleting the Wyd app permanently removes them, and we cannot recover them because we never held a copy.
The copy of your profile on our servers is kept until you delete it. You can delete it at any time in the app under Settings → Account Deletion, which removes your profile and photo from our servers as well as everything on your device. If you delete the app without doing this first, your profile remains on our servers — email us and we will remove it.
Reports you submit about a character are kept as a moderation record, linked only to a random install identifier, not to your name.
Purchase records held by Apple and RevenueCat are retained under their respective policies. To request deletion of any data associated with your install, contact us at wydappstore@gmail.com. Requests are actioned within 30 days.
Wyd is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older, and you confirm you are 18+ during onboarding. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.
Wyd has a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive behaviour.
Every message is screened automatically in both directions — what you send before it reaches a character, and what a character says before it reaches you. Content involving minors, sexual violence, hate speech, threats of violence or encouragement of self-harm is blocked and never delivered.
You can report any character or conversation from the ⋯ menu in a chat, or from the character’s profile. Reports reach us immediately.
You can block any character. They are removed from your deck, from Explore and from your matches straight away, and the conversation is deleted. Blocked characters are listed in Settings, where you can unblock them.
We review every report and act within 24 hours — removing the offending content and, where a user is responsible for it, terminating their access to the service.
Every character in Wyd is fictional and every response is generated by AI. No conversation in the app involves a real person, and nothing a character says should be relied on as advice from a qualified professional.
Data sent between the app and our services is encrypted in transit using HTTPS. Data stored on your device is protected by your device’s own security, including your passcode and iOS storage encryption. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your jurisdiction (including under CCPA and GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data. You can delete your profile yourself in Settings at any time. For a copy of the profile we hold, a correction, or anything else, contact us at wydappstore@gmail.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
