Privacy Policy

This policy explains how RouterChat handles information when you use the app and this website.

Summary

RouterChat is an unofficial client for OpenRouter, the AI model routing service at openrouter.ai. The app is designed to keep credentials on your device, store conversations locally, and send requests to OpenRouter only when you use features that require a model response, transcription, speech generation, account lookup, or model information.

Information you provide in the app

• Chat messages, prompts, and conversation titles.
• Files, photos, PDFs, audio, or other attachments you choose to add.
• Voice recordings when you use speech-to-text or pseudo-voice features.
• OpenRouter login results or API keys used to connect the app to OpenRouter.
• Settings such as selected models, favorites, voice options, and request preferences.

How app information is used

RouterChat uses this information to provide chat, model selection, attachment handling, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, conversation history, and app settings. Messages and selected attachments are sent to OpenRouter when you submit a request. Speech audio may be sent to OpenRouter or processed by Apple speech services depending on your selected speech settings. Responses are returned to the app and saved in your conversation history.

Storage

OpenRouter credentials are stored in the device Keychain. Conversation history is stored locally on your device. If iCloud features are enabled, conversation history and supported settings may sync through Apple's iCloud and CloudKit services for your Apple ID.

Third-party services

RouterChat uses the OpenRouter API at openrouter.ai to route model requests and related OpenRouter API features. Depending on the model and feature you choose, OpenRouter may route your request to model providers. Apple services may be used for iCloud sync, Keychain storage, system speech, or Apple speech recognition. These services handle information under their own terms and privacy policies.

Website

This website is a static site. It does not use JavaScript analytics, tracking pixels, advertising SDKs, or contact forms. Your browser and hosting providers may process standard technical information such as IP address, user agent, request time, and requested URL to deliver and secure the site.

Advertising and sale of data

RouterChat does not sell your personal information and does not include advertising SDKs or cross-app tracking code.

Your choices

• You can avoid sending a message or attachment by not submitting it.
• You can remove local conversations inside the app where supported.
• You can disable iCloud sync for the app through app or system settings where supported.
• You can delete RouterChat from your device to remove app data stored with the app.
• You can manage OpenRouter account data through OpenRouter.

Children

RouterChat is not intended for children under 13. Do not use RouterChat to send personal information about children.
