Quipster is an AI assistant you text. To make it useful, we store the things you tell it (your name, preferences, shortcuts) and the messages you exchange with it.
We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or train AI models on your conversations. You can delete everything we know about you at any time. The full legal version is below.
Quipster ("we," "us," or "our") provides an AI assistant accessible by SMS text message. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our service or visit quipster.net.
For questions about this policy or your data, contact us at hello@quipster.net.
We collect only what's necessary to make Quipster work for you. Specifically:
| What | Why | When |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | To confirm your waitlist signup and notify you at launch | Signup form |
| Mobile phone number | To send and receive SMS messages with you | Account activation |
| SMS message content | To respond to your questions and remember your preferences | Each message |
| Personal data you share | Names, preferences, shortcuts, reminders — the things you ask Quipster to remember | You choose |
| Payment information | To process subscription payments (handled by Stripe) | Subscription |
| IP address & basic device info | For security, fraud prevention, and basic analytics | Website visits |
We do not collect: precise location data, contacts from your phone, photos, biometric data, browsing history outside our website, or anything you didn't explicitly send to us.
We use what we collect to:
We do not use your messages to train AI models, personalize advertising, build profiles for third parties, or any purpose beyond running the service for you.
We do not sell your personal information. Period. Not now, not later.
We share information only in these limited situations:
To run Quipster, we share limited data with the following service providers, who are bound by contracts to use the data only for the services they provide to us:
Each of these providers has its own privacy policy that governs how it handles data. Links are available on request.
We keep your information only as long as needed to provide the service:
/forget me.We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS), encrypted databases, restricted access controls, and regular security review of our infrastructure.
That said: no system is perfectly secure. SMS itself is not end-to-end encrypted at the carrier level. If you're storing extremely sensitive information (Social Security numbers, banking credentials, medical details), please consider whether SMS is the right channel for it. We recommend using shortcuts for things you'd be okay with someone seeing on your lock screen.

Quipster is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn we've collected data from a child under 13, we'll delete it. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with information can email hello@quipster.net.
For users between 13 and 18, we recommend reviewing this policy with a parent or guardian. The service may not be appropriate for unsupervised use by minors.
Quipster operates from the United States. If you use the service from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
For transfers from the EU, UK, or EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or on your explicit consent, as appropriate. We take steps to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection wherever it is processed.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll notify you by email or SMS before the changes take effect. The "Effective" date at the top of this page indicates when the current version took effect.
Continued use of Quipster after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you don't agree to the changes, you can cancel your subscription.
