Familiar Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 25, 2026

Familiar is an Android app that uses AI to perform tasks on your device on your behalf. This policy explains what data Familiar collects, how it is used, and your choices.

Data we collect

When you use Familiar, the following data may be collected and processed:

Commands you issue (typed or spoken). If you grant microphone access, audio is captured locally and used to derive the command text; raw audio is not transmitted.
On-screen text during a task. While a task is running, Familiar reads the text shown on the active screen so the AI can decide what to tap, type, or scroll. Familiar reads only text — it does not capture screenshots, images, or other visual content. Text on the screen may include personal information depending on which app is active.
Account identity. If you sign in with Google, we receive your Google account email and a unique identifier solely to authenticate you to our backend.
Task logs. A log of each task (commands, planner decisions, actions taken, errors) is generated locally and may be uploaded to our backend for debugging and quality improvement.

We do not collect: contacts, SMS, call logs, location, photos, files outside what appears on screen during an active task, or any data when no task is running.

How data is used

Sent to AI providers. On-screen text and your command are sent to one or more AI model providers via our backend proxy so the model can plan and execute the task. Providers may include commercial AI services (such as Anthropic or OpenAI) and open-source models we host or operate. The specific provider used for a given task may change over time as we evaluate and improve the service. Each provider's data handling is governed by their own terms; commercial providers' terms are linked from their respective websites.
Stored on our backend. Logs are stored in Google Cloud (Firebase / Cloud Storage) under our project, used only by the Familiar developer for debugging and improvement.
Not sold or shared with third parties for advertising or marketing.

Your controls

Familiar only reads the screen while a task is active. You can stop a task at any time.
You can revoke accessibility permission in Android Settings → Accessibility at any time, which fully disables the app's screen reading.
You can revoke microphone permission in Android Settings → Apps → Familiar.
To request deletion of your account or stored logs, contact us at the email below.

Children

Familiar is not directed to children under 13.

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by an updated date at the top.
