This Privacy Policy explains how Peranima ("we", "us", the "Service") collects, uses and protects your personal data. The controller in the sense of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Eduard Röhrig
Iris-Runge-Platz 11, 30539 Hannover, Germany

1. Data we collect
1.1 Waitlist
When you sign up for our waitlist we store: your email address, the
submission timestamp, the referring page, and any UTM campaign
parameters present in the URL (e.g. utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign). Legal basis:
Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent, given by submitting the form). You can
request deletion at any time by emailing info@peranima.com.
1.2 Account data (after launch)
When you create a Peranima account using Discord OAuth we store: Discord user ID, display name, avatar URL, and email address. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (contract performance). This data is required to operate your account.
1.3 Voice and screen data
When you hold a voice session Peranima streams your microphone audio to AI processing partners (speech-to-text, language model, and text-to-speech). On request, a screenshot of your active window is sent to a vision processing partner so the companion can describe what you're seeing. We may change the underlying providers at our discretion to improve quality, latency, or cost.
We do not store this audio or these screenshots. Audio chunks and screenshots pass through our servers in memory only and are not written to disk or retained after the session ends. The textual transcript of your conversation is persisted (see 1.4 below) so the companion can remember context across sessions.
We do store the textual transcript of voice sessions on our own EU infrastructure, along with the companion's structured "memories" extracted from those transcripts (e.g. "User's favorite game is Elden Ring", "We built a base at coordinates X, Y, Z in Minecraft"). You can view, edit and delete these memories at any time from your dashboard. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (contract performance).
1.4 Session transcripts
The text of every voice conversation between you and your companion is stored on our servers (PostgreSQL on EU infrastructure) for the lifetime of your account, so the companion can recall prior context. You can delete individual transcripts or your full conversation history at any time from your dashboard. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (contract performance).
1.5 User reports
If you submit a report through the in-app "Report an issue" feature (e.g. flagging inappropriate companion behavior), we store the report category, your optional message, an excerpt of the related conversation, the app version, and your operating system. We use this only to triage and improve the service. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a safe service).
1.7 Usage and billing
We record session metadata (duration, token counts, estimated cost, detected game, session end reason) for metering and rate-limiting purposes. We retain LemonSqueezy customer and subscription identifiers and a log of webhook events. Payment card data is processed directly by LemonSqueezy and never reaches our servers.
1.8 Technical logs
Our reverse proxy and application log requests including IP address, user-agent, timestamp and requested path. Logs are retained for up to 14 days for security and operational troubleshooting, then deleted. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a secure service).
1.9 Error tracking
We use a third-party error-tracking provider (with EU data residency) to capture error reports from the desktop app, web portal and API. The provider receives the error message, stack trace and anonymised session context. We have configured it to strip IP addresses and authentication headers.
1.10 Analytics
If enabled, we use a privacy-friendly, EU-based analytics provider to measure aggregate traffic. It is cookieless and does not track visitors across sites. No personal data is collected; visits are counted via short-lived in-memory hashes.
2. Categories of third parties processing your data
We work with the following categories of service providers. Some are based in the European Union, others in the United States; for US-based providers we rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR) as the legal mechanism for the data transfer.
- AI processing partners — speech-to-text, language model, text-to-speech, and vision providers used to power the voice pipeline.
- Payment processor (Merchant of Record) — handles your subscription billing and payment-card details directly; we never receive your card data.
- Identity provider — Discord OAuth, for signing into your account.
- Email delivery — for transactional emails such as receipts, password resets, and abuse notifications.
- Error tracking — captures application errors and stack traces (configured to strip IPs and authentication headers).
- Web analytics — privacy-friendly, cookieless aggregate traffic measurement on the landing page.
- Hosting infrastructure — EU-based (Germany).
A current list of the specific named sub-processors backing each of the categories above is available on request — email info@peranima.com.
3. Retention
Waitlist data is retained until you request deletion or until 12 months after product launch, whichever comes first. Account and session data is retained while your account is active and for up to 90 days after closure. LemonSqueezy billing records are retained for 10 years to comply with § 147 AO (German tax code).
4. Your rights
You have the right to access, rectify, delete, restrict or port your personal data, and to object to its processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — the competent authority in our case is:
Die Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen
Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover
lfd.niedersachsen.de
To exercise any of the above rights, email info@peranima.com.
5. Cookies
The peranima.com landing page uses no cookies. The app.peranima.com
dashboard stores authentication tokens in your browser's localStorage; these are not cookies and are not sent to
third parties.
6. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email to registered users. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent change.
