CrushOn AI Alternative: Read the Sentence About Chargebacks First

• The no-sale promise in CrushOn's policy attaches to payment data
• Everything else is described as usable for commercial purposes
• The terms include an agreement not to dispute charges through your bank, fraud aside
• Chat content is used to train the models, stated openly, without user linkage
• The operator is TECHIEPIE LTD, registered in Cyprus. No registry number is printed anywhere

Most people never open the terms of a chat app, and normally that is a reasonable way to live. This one is worth four minutes, because two of its sentences describe things you would want to know before your card is on file. Neither is hidden. Both are simply further down the page than anyone reads.

The promise that covers less than it sounds like

The privacy policy states that data will not be sold. Read the surrounding text and the commitment attaches to payment data. About the rest, which includes chat content, uploaded images and audio, created characters, gender and date of birth, it says the data may be used for commercial purposes. Google Analytics and Tag Manager run on the site, retargeting and behavioural targeting are declared, and external marketing companies receive data.

None of that is unusual for an ad-funded product. What is unusual is the gap between the headline anyone remembers and the clause that actually governs. If you walked away with the idea that they do not sell your data, you walked away with something the document does not say.

The line about your bank

Separately, the terms include an agreement that you will not dispute a charge through your bank except in cases of fraud, and reserve the right to refuse future transactions and block the account if you do. Combined with the refund position, where usage fees are not returned and billing recurs monthly in advance on the same calendar day, that removes the last mechanism most people rely on when a subscription outlives their interest in it.

Training on chats: who says what

Read that table twice. The most transparent answer belongs to the service with the least comfortable clause, and the blank belongs to the one that made no promise at all. Openness and good terms are not the same axis, and it is easy to mistake one for the other.

What it collects while you use it

The list from the policy, in the order a normal person meets it: email, name, gender, date of birth and age at signup. Payment data and transaction records once you subscribe. Device, IP address, cookies and session history throughout. Uploaded images and audio if you send any. The content of conversations and the characters you build. And, if you sign in through Apple, Google, Discord or Line, whatever those hand over as part of the login.

The two entries worth pausing on are the uploads and the created characters, because both feel like private workspace rather than submitted data. A character sheet is a description of what you want, written in your own words. It sits in the same bucket as everything else.

The rules of use are conventional and worth knowing anyway: no false information about yourself, no images of other people without permission, no second account after a ban, no sharing access. Breaking them costs the account, and with it anything the account remembered.

How cancelling works

Through the interface, not by email: Profile, then My Subscription, then Manage, then Cancel Subscription. Billing runs monthly in advance on the same calendar day, so the date you signed up is the date you are charged again. Miss it and the next period is taken, and it is not returned. That is the mechanic behind the chargeback clause above, and the reason the two paragraphs belong together.

What to check before you switch anywhere

• Search the privacy policy for the word sell and read the whole sentence, not the heading
• Search the terms for chargeback and dispute. That clause is never in the summary
• Find the company name. If there is no registry number, you are agreeing with a name and little else
• Check whether cancelling is a settings toggle or an email request
