Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 8, 2026
Bikn is provided by N2itive, LLC, a Mississippi limited liability company. This policy explains how information is handled when you use the Bikn app, visit bikn.app, or contact us.
Privacy at a glance
You do not need a Bikn account, and Bikn does not connect to your bank account. You choose what you submit for a check, and you are asked for permission before anything is sent for AI processing.
No account does not mean no information is processed. Content you submit goes to our AI provider. We keep operational records for subscriptions, diagnostics, security and usage limits, and some information stays on your device.
1. Information you choose to submit
When you use Digital Bodyguard, we process the text, described situation, screenshot or other content you submit, together with the conversation context needed to answer follow-up questions. Submitted content can contain personal information about you or someone else.
When you use Link Checker, we process the web address you paste. Web addresses can themselves contain names or identifiers. Link Checker examines the address's wording and structure — it does not visit the website, verify its owner, or scan it for malware.
These features send what you submit to our AI provider, Anthropic, to produce a response. We ask for your permission before the first such submission, and you can withdraw that permission at any time in the app.
Only submit content you are entitled to share. Remove passwords, full payment-card numbers and unrelated personal details first.
You can report an AI response to us from inside the app. Reporting is optional. When you send a report, we receive the AI response you selected (if it is too long to send in one report, you choose which part to send, and the app shows you exactly that part), the reason you chose, any note you write, your app version, build number and platform, and a report reference. The app also sends the usage-limit identifier described below so that reporting cannot be flooded.
Your original messages, screenshots and conversation are not attached to a report. The AI response itself can repeat information you shared, so a report is not anonymous. Reports go to us for review, not to our AI provider, and we use them to decide what to change about the app.
2. Information used to operate Bikn
| Information | Why |
|---|---|
| An app-install identifier, IP address, request timing and related technical request information | Deliver responses, apply usage limits, prevent abuse, troubleshoot failures. Security records may hold derived rather than original identifiers. |
| Purchase and subscription information, including product and transaction identifiers, subscription status, and a customer identifier used by our subscription provider | Recognize paid access, reconcile purchases, restore eligible purchases. |
| Crash and error reports, app and operating-system versions, device characteristics, technical error context | Diagnose problems and improve reliability. |
| Temporary access codes, access records, expiry information and failed-attempt security records | Issue and validate authorized temporary access and prevent misuse. |
| Your email address and whatever you include when contacting support | Answer your request and keep an appropriate record. |
| Your AI-processing permission and its version | Confirm permission before content is sent, and re-ask if the disclosure changes. |
Identifiers used without your name are not necessarily anonymous. They may distinguish an installation, associate requests, or connect subscription records.
Apple or Google processes your store payment under its own terms. We receive purchase and access status, not your card number or bank credentials.
3. Information on your device
Bikn stores some information locally: preferences and onboarding state, the trusted person's name you enter, app identifiers, your AI-processing permission, and applicable access or subscription information.
The family safe-word setup keeps your word only for the active setup interaction; Bikn does not save it or send it to our servers through that feature. If you share it using your device's sharing features, the app or person you send it to can keep a copy.
A selected image can leave a cache copy on your device. Bikn does not currently apply a fixed deletion deadline to that copy; cleanup depends on device and app-storage behavior.
Conversation context is held for the active interaction rather than kept as a saved history in the app.
Your operating system controls some storage and cleanup. Secure storage on iOS can survive uninstalling. Deleting Bikn does not guarantee that every locally stored item, shared item or provider record is erased.
4. Who receives information
| Recipient | What and why |
|---|---|
| Anthropic, our AI provider | Submitted text, images, web addresses and relevant conversation context, to generate responses. |
| Apple or Google, your app store | Store-account and payment information they handle to process purchases, renewals, cancellations and refunds. |
| Subscription-management provider | Customer identifiers and purchase, subscription and access records, to validate and restore access. |
| Hosting and security providers | Information carried in service requests, network information and security records, to transmit and process requests, deliver the website and protect the service. |
| Diagnostic provider | Crash reports, technical error context and device or app information, to investigate reliability problems. |
| Email and support provider | Support correspondence and contact information, to receive and answer your requests. |
A report you send about an AI response is reviewed by us. It is stored with our hosting provider and is not sent to our AI provider.
We may also disclose information where required by law, in response to valid legal process, or as reasonably necessary to address fraud, security incidents or legal claims.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross- context behavioral advertising. Bikn does not display advertisements. We use diagnostic services to investigate errors and improve reliability.
5. AI processing and retention
Not keeping a conversation archive on our own servers does not mean the AI provider deletes everything the moment a reply appears.
Anthropic's published standard for commercial API processing is to delete inputs and outputs within 30 days of receipt or generation, with exceptions for zero-retention arrangements, Usage Policy violations and legal obligations. Some exceptions permit substantially longer retention. Bikn does not have a zero-retention arrangement, and we do not promise zero retention across the processing chain.
Anthropic states that commercial inputs and outputs are not used to train its models by default, with exceptions where a customer submits feedback or otherwise chooses to allow it. Bikn has not enabled any such option. Retention and training are separate matters.
6. How long other information is kept
| Information | Approach |
|---|---|
| Submitted content on Bikn's servers | Processed to produce a response, without a conversation archive. Provider retention is described above. |
| Local preferences, trusted-person name, identifiers, permission and access information | May remain until replaced or removed through app or device controls. The trusted-person name does not expire automatically. Secure storage can persist after uninstalling. |
| Local image cache | No fixed app-enforced deletion deadline; cleanup depends on device and app-storage behavior. |
| Reported AI responses, your reason and note, report reference and app version information | Kept for up to 30 days from the report and then deleted automatically. We may delete a report sooner once we have finished reviewing it. The 30-day limit is fixed when the report is received and is not extended by reading it or by sending the report again. |
| Usage-limit counters | Short-lived records that expire automatically. Related security logs may be kept for a different period. |
| Temporary access records | Kept to validate access and prevent misuse. Access expiry and record deletion are separate events; some security or administrative records can remain after access expires. |
| Subscription, transaction and support records | Kept as needed for ongoing access, restoration, support, disputes, accounting and legal obligations, including our providers' own retention practices. |
| Diagnostics and website records | Kept according to the service's configured retention and the period needed to investigate errors or understand delivery. |
Deletion requests are subject to legal obligations and legitimate record- retention needs. We cannot retrieve a past conversation from an archive we do not keep, and we cannot promise deletion of something another person independently saved.
7. Why we are allowed to process this information
Where United Kingdom or other data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on:
- Your consent — for sending your submitted content to our AI provider. You give this through the AI permission step and can withdraw it in the app.
- Performance of a contract — for providing the app, recognizing and restoring paid access, and responding to support requests.
- Our legitimate interests — for security, abuse prevention, usage limits and diagnostics, balanced against your rights.
- Legal obligation — where we must keep or disclose information by law.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place.
8. Website visits and device permissions
Our hosting provider processes the network and request information needed to deliver and protect bikn.app, including the pages requested, browser and device characteristics, request information and performance measurements.
When you choose an image or use the camera, Bikn uses your device's own permission and selection controls. It does not require ongoing access to your messages and does not connect to your bank. You can manage camera and photo permissions in your device settings.
9. Your choices and privacy requests
You can decline or withdraw AI-processing permission, choose not to submit content, remove unnecessary details before submitting, manage device permissions, and stop using the service.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information, to restrict or object to certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a privacy regulator. In the United Kingdom, that regulator is the Information Commissioner's Office.
Send requests to [email protected]. We may need limited information to locate relevant records and confirm a request is authorized. Please do not email passwords or full card numbers. Where we cannot identify a record or fulfill a request, we will explain why as far as the law requires.
To have a report deleted before its 30-day limit, email us the report reference shown when you sent it. Without that reference we usually cannot tell which report is yours, because a report carries no account or name. The reference lets us find a report; it does not by itself authorize anyone to read or delete one.
Deleting the app or requesting deletion does not cancel an Apple or Google subscription. Cancel through the store where you subscribed.
10. Security and where information is processed
We use security measures intended to protect information in transit and at rest. No system can guarantee complete security.
N2itive, LLC is based in the United States, and information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate. Anthropic's data processing addendum incorporates standard contractual clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where applicable. Your rights continue to apply wherever information is processed.
11. Children's information
Bikn is a general-audience tool intended for adults dealing with suspected scams. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information in circumstances requiring parental permission, contact us and we will take the steps applicable law requires.
12. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as our practices change. We will update the effective date and give additional notice or seek permission where the law requires it. A policy update does not by itself replace a permission you gave in the app.
