Short answer
Almost no consumer bot is “zero log by default.” What matters is what happens after you clear a chat or delete the account — soft archive, multi-day hold, or actual purge. For text/NSFW roleplay, start with Candy AI. For voice and generated media that should not sit on disk, check Muah AI.
Uninstalling an app never clears server transcripts. Pair this page with the account deletion audit.
Soft delete vs real wipe
Companions monetize or train on interaction data. Typical patterns:
- UI delete — Thread disappears for you; row stays in DB / backups.
- Retention window — 24h–90 days “for compliance / abuse review.”
- Hard wipe claim — Cascading delete of account-scoped chat + media after confirmation.
Ask support (or read the privacy policy) for: backup retention, whether content is used for training, and whether media outlives text.
Retention snapshot (2026 review)
Qualitative — re-check policy pages before you rely on them.
| Platform | Text after delete | Media (photo / voice) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candy AI | Fast wipe claimed (Deep Mode account scope) | Follows account deletion | Primary for private NSFW text |
| Muah AI | Short / session-oriented | Strong focus on voice & image wipe | Primary when audio/uploads matter |
| SpicyChat-class | Often ~24h text | Media may linger days | Mid-tier; verify current policy |
| Chai-class | Weeks–months common | Same order of magnitude | Poor fit for anonymity |
Mainstream SFW apps (Replika, Character.AI patterns) often keep history indefinitely for product features. Do not expect privacy there — change platform if logs are the threat model. Broader context: Safe NSFW AI Chat Guide.
Primary pick: Candy AI
Use Candy when the workload is long-form adult chat and memory. Deep Mode keeps processing on-product rather than shipping every turn to third-party moderation APIs; deletion is framed as account-level wipe, not “deactivate and archive.” Confirm the Delete Account control in settings before loading high-sensitivity material.

If your risk is voice / uploads
Muah AI is the focused alternative for multimodal sessions — audio packets and renders are the expensive retention risk. Details: multimodal voice & media privacy.
