Highest Risk Categories

The highest-scoring risk categories identified in this assessment.

Training Use

Italian DPA (Garante) fined Replika €5 million in May 2025 specifically for training its model on fragments of user conversations without a clear privacy notice and without collecting valid consent. New investigation opened into training methods. Policy states third-party LLM providers are contractually prohibited from training on data, but Replika itself trains on de-identified conversation fragments. This is a confirmed regulatory violation.

Legal Terms

Terms (updated March 30, 2026) include mandatory arbitration, jury trial waiver, and class action waiver - governed by California law. Arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over class proceedings. Standard US-style arbitration enforcement. Liability cap provisions present. Very user-unfavorable for dispute resolution.

/10

Data Retention

Device, network, and usage data stored as long as necessary. User data deleted after contract termination unless legal regulations require ongoing storage. No explicit ZDR policy. The intimate/emotional nature of retained conversation data makes retention periods especially sensitive. Post-deletion retention unclear in public docs.
