Character.AI updated its Privacy Policy on June 19, 2026 with changes to user interface language and operational processes. The update added new statuses and messaging for Lorebook (a character knowledge feature) content review workflows, including notifications when content is under review, when it becomes active, and when review fails. The policy also added language describing a voice call feature with usage limits and upgrade prompts. These changes appear to be operational clarifications and product feature additions rather than substantive privacy or data-handling changes.

What this means for you

The updated language clarifies operational processes for Lorebook content review and voice call feature usage. The policy now explicitly describes status notifications users receive when their Lorebook content is under review, becomes active, or fails review due to policy violations. It also discloses daily voice call usage limits and upgrade prompts, similar to existing language about other premium features. These are operational disclosures rather than new restrictions on user rights or data handling.

Key Clauses Affected

Lorebook review status notifications

Added explicit messaging for content under review, active status, and failed review states with remediation guidance.

Voice call usage limits

Added disclosure of daily voice call usage limits and upgrade prompts parallel to existing feature limit messaging.
