AI companion privacy checklist
An 18+ fictional AI companion works best when the character feels personal without turning private information into chat material.
Before signup
Four quick privacy checks
- Check whether the app explains what it stores and why.
- Use a fresh password and avoid reusing passwords from email or banking.
- Decide which real-world details should stay out of character setup.
- Review how subscription, deletion, and support requests are handled.
What to keep in mind while chatting
Character details
Give the companion fictional traits, interests, tone, and boundaries. Avoid putting sensitive identifiers into the character profile.
Conversation habits
Keep everyday chat lightweight. Do not share passwords, payment details, private work material, or information that could expose another person.
Account access
Use a private email, a strong password, and a device you control. Log out on shared devices and keep account recovery details current.
Emotional context
You can ask for warmth or encouragement while remembering that the companion is an AI character, not a therapist, emergency service, or real person.
A useful rule
Share details that make the fictional character easier to play, not details that would create risk if they were repeated, stored, or seen out of context.
