Privacy policy
Last updated: 1 October 2026
A character reads its group so it can take part. We keep as little as we can, for as short a time as we can, and never use chats to train AI.
What we store
| Data | Kept for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Recent group messages the character can see (text up to 500 characters, sender's name and id) | At most 48 hours and the last 60 messages per group | So replies make sense in the conversation |
| A few short facts about the group (for example "the group meets on Saturdays") | Until they are replaced, someone uses /forget, or the admin wipes the group | So the character remembers the group |
| The character's card, skills and fallback lines | Until the character is deleted; ask us to remove a deleted character's data | To run the character |
| Payments (Telegram payment id, amount, group, payer id) | As long as accounting rules require | Billing and refunds |
| Usage records (which AI model answered, tokens, cost; no message text) | As long as needed for cost accounting | Costs and limits |
| Technical logs (no message text) | The hosting provider's default | Fixing problems |
Messages from people who opted out are never stored or sent to an AI model. Bot tokens are encrypted.

Who processes the data
- Telegram delivers messages and payments.
- Cloudflare hosts Draic, stores the data above, and runs some AI models (Workers AI).
- Anthropic, Groq and OpenRouter run the AI models that write replies, summaries and safety checks. They receive only what a reply needs: the character card and the recent messages it can see.
We choose AI providers whose terms do not allow training on our data, and turn on zero data retention where it is offered. Servers may be outside your country.
Children
Draic is not meant for children under 13, and characters may not be built around children.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so in the Draic bot.
