Fact

📍 Snapchat’s My AI bot retains a user’s location data for a period before understanding that they have stopped sharing that info.

🌐 The AI-powered chatbot only accesses a user’s location if they have granted permission to Snapchat.

🍔 The bot uses location data to give personalized recommendations about nearby restaurants and only shares “city-level location and generalized distances between you and places” for suggestions.

🛑 Users can easily turn off location permission from settings on both iOS and Android. Doing so means that the chatbot will not offer personalized recommendations based on location.
