Summary

Character.AI gives parents of teen users a weekly report showing how long their teen was on the platform and which Characters they used most. A parent can only access this feature after their teen sends them an invite and the parent clicks Agree in an email. If a teen tries to remove a parent's access, the parent must confirm it by email before it takes effect.

Analysis

This document establishes Character.AI's parental insights framework for teen users. It defines a recurring weekly activity report delivered to parents covering time-on-platform and top Characters interacted with. Access to this oversight feature is contingent on the teen initiating an invitation by entering a parent email address, followed by affirmative parental confirmation via an email link. Removal of parental access is similarly structured: the teen initiates the request, but completion requires an affirmative confirmation from the parent via email, preserving a parental check on the removal process.

What this means for you

As an individual user, if you are a teen, you control whether to invite a parent to view your activity and can initiate removal of a parent's access — but that removal is not complete until your parent confirms it by email. If you are a parent, you receive no visibility into your teen's activity until you click Agree in an invitation email sent from your teen's account, after which you receive a weekly report covering your teen's time on the platform and the top Characters they interacted with. To activate parental oversight, a parent must open the invitation email sent by the teen and click Agree.

What changed Character.AI removed language from its Safety Center footer on June 16, 2026. The previous version included a link to 'About our Model Training' in the footer; the updated version no longer contains this link. This removes a documented entry point for users to access information about how Character.AI trains its AI models.
Why this matters The updated Safety Center footer no longer includes a direct link to 'About our Model Training' documentation. Previously, users navigating to the bottom of the Safety Center could access this resource; the link's removal means this information is no longer easily discoverable from that navigation point. The operational impact depends on whether the model training information remains accessible through other pages or documentation paths on the platform.
