Privacy policy

RINA AI app (Android and web) · updated November 12, 2026

This page is a translation. If it differs from the French version, the French version prevails: Politique de confidentialité.

This policy explains what data the RINA AI assistant uses, why, who it is shared with and how to delete it. It applies to the RINA AI Android app and to its web version (app.plateforme-rina.com).

1. Data controller

RINA AI is developed and published by its independent developer, under the name Silicon Core (identity shown on the app's Google Play listing).
Address: 3rd floor, 137 Spinola Road, St. Julian's STJ 3011, Malta.
Contact: hello@rina.technology.

2. Data we use

Account (optional): e-mail and password (stored encrypted). Without an account, the app can be used anonymously, with limits.
Conversations: your messages, the assistant's replies and the files you attach (images, PDFs, text files).
Files (Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint): RINA makes them on your phone or computer, from its reply. The file is neither sent to us nor kept by us; its content is the reply's, kept like the rest of the conversation.
Personalization (optional): what you write in Settings → Personalization about yourself and about how you want RINA AI to reply. These texts are kept on your device and, if you are signed in, in our database, and they are sent with your messages to the artificial intelligence providers (section 4).
Memory (with an account, can be turned off): short notes RINA writes when you tell it about yourself (first name, preferences, projects) or ask it to remember something. Memory is not meant for sensitive information (health, religion, opinions, sex life, origin, finances), passwords or numbers: RINA refuses to keep them and a filter removes any that would slip through. If one of them still ended up there, you can see it and erase it in Settings → Memory.
Display language: your display language (English or French) is kept on the device and, if you have an account and choose it in Settings → Language, in your account, so the app shows it on your other devices. Your phone's language list never leaves the device.
Dictation (optional, with your permission to use the microphone): your phone's speech recognition, provided by its system, turns your voice into text and may process the audio on its own servers. RINA AI neither receives nor keeps the recording: only the recognized text reaches the message field. Reading aloud happens on the device.
Usage: message counters per day and per month. For a visitor without an account, we keep an encrypted fingerprint of the IP address, never the address itself.
RINA AI Pro subscription: status and dates of the subscription. Payment is handled by Google Play; we never see your card.
Complimentary plan: some accounts receive RINA AI Pro free of charge (for example Silicon Core's partners and investors). For this, the service only checks whether the account is entitled to it (a yes or no answer): no amount is read, kept or shown.
Reports: the replies you report and the reason you choose.
Connectors (optional, with an account): the token you provide for GitHub or Notion, or the permission Google asks you for Google Calendar, kept encrypted (section 5).

3. Why

To reply to your messages and analyze your files.
To bring your conversations to all your devices when you are signed in.
To remember you from one conversation to the next (Memory), as long as you leave it on.
To apply the limits of the free plan and of RINA AI Pro, and to prevent abuse.
To manage your subscription and handle reports and deletion requests.

4. Artificial intelligence

RINA AI's models have Latin names: Mercurius, Minerva, Argus, Hercules, Orpheus, Vulcanus and Morpheus. To produce a reply or a creation, your message, the recent history of the conversation, your files and your personalization texts are sent, securely, to the artificial intelligence providers that run these models.

Memory notes are sent with your messages to the models, like your Personalization; they never contain data from your Google Calendar.

Without an account and with a free account: some of these providers may keep the messages they receive and use them to improve their services.
RINA AI Pro: paid services first, bound by their business terms of use; the models of the free plan take over when they are unavailable.
Creations (songs and images with RINA AI Plus and Pro, videos with RINA AI Pro): for a creation, the description, the lyrics, the style and, if you add one, the starting photo are sent to our artificial intelligence providers. The photo is not kept. Creations may carry an invisible digital watermark showing that they were made by an AI.

RINA Studio: the app's creation space (Music and Video) keeps, for each creation, its title, description, style, lyrics and settings (language, voice, length, format) until you delete it or delete your account. The files (songs, images, videos) are kept 30 days, then deleted; the title and the lyrics stay, so you can recreate the creation. A photo added to animate or edit an image is first checked automatically (it must show no child and no sexual content), then sent for the creation only: it is never kept. “Lyrics with RINA” and “Improve with RINA” only send what you wrote in the form. You can delete each creation in the Studio; deleting your account erases all your creations and their files.

Do not send sensitive information: passwords, bank details, health data, identity documents.

We only send an encrypted fingerprint of your account or of your IP address, never your name or your e-mail. AI replies can be inaccurate: check important information.

5. Tools and connectors

Public tools (weather, Wikipedia, currencies, calculations, local time, news). When your question depends on it, the assistant looks up a public service and sends only what the request needs: a city, a topic, currencies. These services are MET Norway, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (weather forecasts), OpenStreetMap (Nominatim, to locate a city), Wikipedia (Wikimedia Foundation), ExchangeRate-API (exchange rates) and our web search service for the news (section 6). They never receive an account identifier or your e-mail. Calculations, and the time in a time zone, are done on our server, without any outside service.

Credits: weather data: MET Norway (CC BY 4.0 license); places: © OpenStreetMap and its contributors (ODbL license, openstreetmap.org/copyright); exchange rates: Rates By Exchange Rate API (exchangerate-api.com). Replies that use them say so.

Connectors (GitHub, Notion, Google Calendar). You can connect your own services in Settings → Connectors:

your GitHub or Notion token, or the Google permission, is checked and then kept encrypted; it is never shown, nor sent to the artificial intelligence models;
RINA AI reads these services only when you ask in a conversation, and read-only: nothing is created, changed or deleted there;
what is read (a file, a page, your events) is used only to write the reply: it is sent to the model that replies, like the rest of the conversation (section 4), and is not kept outside that conversation;
a conversation that has read one of these services consults no other one in the same reply (no public tool, no web search): what was read cannot leave in a request to the outside;
you can disconnect a service at any time: “Disconnect” deletes the token and, for Google Calendar, also revokes the permission with Google. For Google Calendar, we only keep a record that it was connected (without a token or address), to keep protecting the replies drawn from your calendar in your conversations; it disappears with your account;
deleting your account deletes all your tokens and permissions on our side; the permission given to Google stays visible in your Google account until you remove it (or use “Disconnect” before deleting your account).

Google Calendar (with RINA AI Plus or Pro): RINA AI only asks for read access to your calendar (calendar.readonly). This data is used only to answer your questions about your calendar; it is not sold, not used for advertising, not read by a person (except with your consent, for security or a legal obligation), and not used to train or improve artificial intelligence models. It is sent only to the paid models of Plus and Pro, and only through access where the providers neither keep it nor use it to train their models; if these models are unavailable, the reply fails rather than being handed to a model of the free plan. The same goes for the rest of the conversation: a reply drawn from your calendar is never sent to a model of the free plan (it receives the conversation without it), and “Continue” on such a reply requires Plus or Pro. RINA AI's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can also remove access from your Google account (myaccount.google.com/permissions).

6. Recipients

Our technical providers: hosting of the app and the server, database and storage of accounts, conversations and creations.
Our artificial intelligence providers: generation of replies and creations (section 4).
A web search service, when you turn on “Web search” or when your question needs recent information (news, weather, prices…): it receives a short search query, your question or a few words written by the assistant from the conversation. No account identifier is sent.
The public services of the tools (MET Norway, OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, ExchangeRate-API): the city, the topic or the currencies of your question, without any identifier (section 5).
The services you connect (GitHub, Notion, Google): they receive your token or your permission, when you ask them to read your data (section 5).
Google Play and our subscription management provider: payment and tracking of the RINA AI Pro subscription.
Authorities, only upon a legal request.

These providers may be located outside your country, in particular in the United States.

7. Retention

Conversations: on your device, and in our database if you are signed in, until you delete them or delete your account.
Personalization: on your device, and in our database if you are signed in, until you change it, erase it or delete your account.
Memory: until you erase a note or all of them, or delete your account. Turning Memory off does not erase it.
Display language: on your device, and in your account if you chose it there, until you change it or delete your account.

Photos added to a creation: never kept.
Connector tokens and permissions: encrypted, until you disconnect the service or delete your account. What a connector reads is kept only in the conversation where you asked for it.
Usage counters: a few months.
Subscription data: as long as our legal and accounting obligations require.

8. Your rights and account deletion

You can access your data, correct it, export it (conversation export in the app) or have it deleted. To delete your account: see the Account deletion page.

You can see and erase your memory in Settings → Memory, or tell RINA “forget that…”.

You can also file a complaint with the data protection authority of your country; in Malta, it is the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC).

9. Minors

RINA AI is for people 18 and over: some of our AI providers do not allow its use by minors. We do not knowingly collect data from people under 18; if you think a minor is using RINA AI, write to us so we can delete their account.
