What this means for you

The updated policy discloses enhanced messaging about Lorebook early access, c.ai+ subscription tier benefits, and a new first-time Charms purchase bonus. The language clarifies how early access to Lorebook features can be unlocked through c.ai+ subscription and adds visibility to in-app currency bonus mechanisms. These changes appear to be disclosure and user interface clarifications rather than modifications to core privacy or data practices.
