🛑 User-Initiated AI Processing

The AI message generation feature works only with information that you manually enter.

When you choose to use this feature, the text you provide (such as name, age, or message preferences) is sent to our backend service and processed by OpenAI to generate a message.

No contact data or automatically collected personal data is sent.

If you do not use this feature, no data is transmitted.
