Privacy

Information stored on your device

Sam stores your API key in the system Keychain on your device. It also stores configuration, cached model options, reasoning options, and recent archive items locally in the app group shared by the main app and share extension. This information is not transmitted to Dine. When iCloud Sync is enabled, archive items also sync through your iCloud account. API keys are not included in archive sync. You can delete archive items in Sam. Removing the app removes its local data; it does not delete copies already stored in iCloud.

Optional iCloud sync

Sam can sync saved results, article metadata, and follow-up conversations across devices using your iCloud account. You can turn iCloud Sync on or off in Settings. This archive data is handled through Apple’s iCloud service, not a Dine-operated server.

Information sent to your AI provider

When you ask Sam to summarize or translate a webpage, Sam extracts the readable page text and sends that text, the page URL, title, selected action, model, and generation settings to your configured AI provider so the selected model can return a response. This can be OpenRouter or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Follow-up requests include the saved result, conversation, and source page when available. Requests use HTTPS, with HTTP allowed for local loopback endpoints.

Your provider may process request metadata such as token usage, cost, and model routing. Sam stores returned token and cost metadata in your archive when it is available. Your provider’s data handling is governed by its own privacy policy. For OpenRouter, the handling of your data is governed by its own policy, available at openrouter.ai/privacy.

What Dine receives

Dine does not receive your API key, webpage content, local archive, or Sam settings through a Dine-operated backend. Dine operates no servers that store, log, or process Sam usage data.

Analytics, tracking, and advertising

Sam does not include third-party analytics, crash reporting, or advertising SDKs. Sam does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies, as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework, and does not display advertisements.

Children's privacy

Sam is not directed to children under 13, and Dine does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through Sam, contact us at the address below so we can address it.

Your choices

• You can remove your API key from Sam settings.
• You can change your AI provider and turn iCloud Sync on or off in Settings.
• You can delete archive items from the app.
• You can delete the app to remove local app data from your device.

Your rights

Because Dine does not collect or retain your Sam data on its own servers, region-specific rights such as access, correction, or deletion requests under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA are exercised through the controls listed under "Your choices" above. For data handled by your AI provider or iCloud, please contact that service directly using the information in its privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

Dine may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always available at this URL, and material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date below.
