Character.AI updated its Privacy Policy on July 10, 2026 with 19 modified sentences and 1 removed sentence, primarily affecting UI text and terminology. The changes include rewording of feature descriptions, error messages, and user interface labels across Lorebook creation, account linking, and character management sections. These appear to be clarifications and UI refinements rather than material changes to data practices, user rights, or privacy obligations.

What this means for you

The updated Privacy Policy refines how Character.AI describes its Lorebook feature and user interface interactions. Specifically, the revised language clarifies that Lorebook changes will be shown to others who can see the content, and that users lose unpublished changes when discarding edits. The policy also updates error messaging and feature labeling across character creation and account management. These changes do not materially expand Character.AI's authority over user data or rights, but rather clarify operational and interface terminology.

Key Clauses Affected

Lorebook feature description

Clarified that Lorebook changes are shown to others who can see the content, and updated terminology for visibility settings.

Error messaging

Updated phrasing of error messages and user feedback for Lorebook deletion and other operations.
