Security and Privacy 

Your privacy and security are a top priority for us. For details on our privacy policy, go to: 

http://www.o6app.com/ios/privacy-policy/

 

The O6 app signs directly into your email provider and Twitter accounts. Your usernames, 
email address, passwords, and messages are sent directly from Google and Twitter to 
your phone. We never see any of it. 
Please keep in mind that if someone is close enough to hear, they could overhear O6 
content. Also, if someone gets access to your locked phone, they could control the O6 
app from the lock screen. If this is a concern, you can play audio from another app after 
using O6, such as the Music app, to remove O6 access from the lock screen. In the future, 
we will add other controls so you can manage access to sensitive channels, like email.

 Siri or other Voice 

Command Systems? 

The primary purpose of O6 

differs fundamentally from systems like Apple’s Siri. O6
