Eggnog AI
Eggnog AI is a consumer app studio building playful AI experiences. It ships three iOS apps, Taffy, Time Portal and Fluffball, and lets anyone play the Time Portal daily history challenge straight in a browser.
What is Eggnog AI?
Eggnog AI is a studio rather than a single tool. The home page says the team builds really fun AI apps, and lists three of them. Taffy makes animations with friends. Time Portal drops you somewhere in history and asks you to guess where you landed. Fluffball shows owners of adopted adult dogs and cats what their pet may have looked like as a puppy or kitten. Site metadata sums it up as experimental AI video experiences. Time Portal is the only product playable on the web. The daily challenge runs five rounds with no sign-up: a generated historical scene appears, you place the location on a map and propose a year. Each round is worth 10,000 points, 5,000 for position (full marks under 10 km) and 5,000 for the year (full marks on the exact year), for 50,000 in total. After every round the app reveals the actual event and the actual year. The iOS version adds further challenges, daily streaks and past games. Taffy and Fluffball rest on optional photo uploads, where a face serves only to produce the requested animation. The company behind the apps is Dubb, Inc, and the home page claims backing from Y Combinator. The site itself is a fully client-rendered React page, and publishes no pricing, no plans and no company pages.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- A playable demo on the web, with no account and no card
- Scoring rules published and quantified, so a result can be checked
- Explicit Face Data addendum: no sharing, no sale, no profiling, deletion when the account closes
- Dedicated support page with a support address on the tool's own domain
- Privacy policy covering GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, Virginia and Switzerland
- Backed by Y Combinator according to the home page
- Simple concept, short sessions, nothing to install before trying it
Cons
- No pricing is published at all: no pricing page, no plan, no amount, and no claim of a permanently free tier either
- The legal documents carry unfilled template markers: the publisher's postal address reads Dubb, Inc __________ __________, while the EULA sets arbitration in [Licensor's jurisdiction] and leaves a reporting deadline as __________ days
- The site's trading name, Eggnog, differs from the company named in the legal documents, Dubb, Inc, and there is no about page, no named team, no social account and no address
- The privacy policy is dated 20 March 2023, earlier than the domain registration on 26 October 2023
- The contact for data rights is trypolylang@gmail.com, a Gmail address carrying the name of another product
- The site is rendered entirely in JavaScript, leaving a blank home page for readers without JS and for crawlers that do not execute scripts, and its web manifest is still the default Create React App template (React App, Create React App Sample)
- iOS only, with no Android version, and no API, no integrations, no DPA and no subprocessor list
Pricing & Plans
No price is published. There is no pricing page anywhere on the site, no pricing route in the single-page app, and no amount or currency appears in any of the content. The three applications are distributed through the US App Store, and the site does not say whether they are free or paid. The Time Portal daily challenge can be played on the web without an account and without payment. The EULA does contemplate a subscription in a template clause, stating that continued access is conditioned on timely payment if the licensed application requires a subscription or recurring payment, but nothing indicates such a charge is in place. No free trial, no offer and no refund terms are announced on the site.
Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Eggnog AI handles your data.
GDPR overview
The privacy policy tackles the GDPR and UK GDPR head-on. It sets out the legal bases relied on, namely consent, legitimate interests, legal obligations and vital interests, and details the rights open to users in the EEA, the UK and Canada: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. Users are pointed to their supervisory authority through the European Commission list, and to the Swiss federal authority for Switzerland. Requests go through a hosted Termly form. US regimes are covered too: CCPA, Virginia and Shine The Light. Responses are promised within 45 days, extendable once by a further 45, with a 60-day appeal window. Two limits stand out: no EU representative is designated under Article 27, and the policy is dated 20 March 2023, before the domain was registered on 26 October 2023.
Who owns the data?
Both the privacy policy and the EULA name Dubb, Inc as the company behind Eggnog AI, the EULA identifying it as the Licensor of the licensed application. Users keep what they submit: the agreement states that the company asserts no ownership over user Contributions, and that the intellectual property and proprietary rights attached to them remain the user's. Face data derived from submitted photos sits in Dubb, Inc databases and, under the Face Data addendum, is neither shared, sold nor disclosed to third parties, remaining accessible to the company alone. No postal address for the controller is published: that part of the document is left as an unfilled template.
Reuse rights
The privacy policy lists the purposes as providing, improving and administering the Services, communicating with users, security and fraud prevention, and legal compliance, with usage trends analyzed to improve the Services. Mobile device data is collected automatically: identifier, model, manufacturer, operating system, version and system configuration. For advertising and marketing, names and email addresses may be shared with third-party advertising partners for campaigns. Face data is treated separately and more strictly: it serves only to generate the AI animation the user asked for, and never advertising, marketing or profiling. The policy also states that Dubb, Inc has not disclosed, sold or shared personal information to third parties for a business or commercial purpose in the preceding twelve months. Whether user content feeds AI model training is addressed nowhere in the documents. Users themselves keep full ownership of their Contributions and can reuse them freely.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
Neither the privacy policy nor the EULA names a hosting country or region. The only location-adjacent statement concerns face data, said to be stored in Dubb, Inc databases, with no indication of where those databases sit, who operates them, or under which jurisdiction. No subprocessor list is published and no data processing agreement is offered, so the chain of custody cannot be traced from the documents alone. Two observations made outside those documents give partial context, and should not be mistaken for publisher statements: the domain resolves to 76.76.21.21, a Vercel front-end address that ipinfo attributes to AS16509, Amazon.com Inc., United States, at an anycast address; and the JavaScript bundle shows the application relying on Firebase, specifically Firestore and Auth. That points toward US-operated infrastructure, but it is inference drawn from network and code, not a declaration, and an anycast address says nothing reliable about where data actually rests.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Eggnog AI.
- Commercial, business or revenue-generating use is forbidden without written authorization from the Licensor, so whatever you make stays personal
- The EULA bars building a competing product from the app, its code, its APIs or its data
- The Licensor may modify, suspend or discontinue the application at any time, without notice and without liability, and may review, remove, restrict or block any submitted content at its sole discretion
- Disputes go to binding arbitration under American Arbitration Association rules, in a venue the document still describes as [Licensor's jurisdiction], and a broad indemnity clause sits on the user
- Uploading photos of real people requires holding every right and permission to those images, friends and family included
- Daily challenges and streaks reward coming back every day, a habit loop worth keeping an eye on, especially since the app can be discontinued at any moment
- The apps are not designed for sector regulations such as HIPAA or FISMA, no absolute security is guaranteed for transmission or storage, and US export rules apply, with users declaring they are not located in an embargoed country
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Close to zero. On the web, the Time Portal daily challenge needs no installation, no account and no configuration: open the page and play. On mobile, the only step is downloading the app from the iOS App Store. An account becomes necessary if you want streaks kept or face data retained. There is no API key to obtain, no technical setting to adjust and no integration to wire up.

Should you pick Eggnog AI?
Eggnog AI is a working product rather than a landing page: the Time Portal daily challenge runs in the browser, without an account, and its scoring is published down to the point. Around it sits a minimal showcase of three links, one tagline and a footer, with no about page, no named team, no social presence and no stated business model. The legal documentation exists and is reasonably thorough on data rights, but it visibly comes from a template that was never finished, the publisher's address, the arbitration venue and a reporting deadline all left blank, under a company name, Dubb, Inc, that differs from the brand. Worth ten minutes if you like short daily guessing games or want to try AI photo animation on iOS. Not a fit if you need commercial rights, an API, contractual guarantees, or any idea of what this will cost.
