An update detected on July 14, 2026 added three new sentences and modified six existing sentences in Character.AI's privacy policy. The change introduces references to Lorebook features and early access subscription tiers, adds a first-time Charms purchase bonus transaction type, and modifies several user interface prompts related to the c.ai+ subscription product.
