A teen user can request removal of a connected parent or guardian's access by using the dropdown in the Parental Insights tab; the parent or guardian receives an email notification and must confirm approval of the removal request.

This provision establishes that a minor user can initiate disconnection of parental oversight access, subject to parent confirmation via email. The confirmation requirement means a parent receives notice before access is terminated, but the initiation of revocation remains with the teen, which may be relevant to regulatory and institutional assessments of the robustness of the parental oversight mechanism.
Interpretive note: The document does not specify the outcome if the parent does not respond to the confirmation email, leaving this procedural step partially ambiguous.
Under this clause, a teen user can request to remove a parent or guardian's access to their activity reports at any time through the app; the parent receives an email notification about the request and must confirm approval before access is fully removed. This means the parent has an opportunity to become aware of the revocation request before it takes effect.

"To stop sharing their activity, your teen can request to remove an email address by selecting the drop down next to the address in the parental insights tab. You'll receive an email letting you know the request has been made and requiring you to confirm that this request has been approved.— Excerpt from Character.AI's Character.AI Safety Center
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The revocation mechanism, which requires parent confirmation, partially mitigates concerns about teen users unilaterally disabling oversight, but the document does not clarify what occurs if the parent does not respond to the confirmation email. This ambiguity may be relevant to regulatory assessments under COPPA and state children's online safety frameworks. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The parent notification and confirmation step provides a procedural safeguard, but the absence of information about what happens if the parent does not confirm (whether access terminates automatically after a period, or remains active) is a gap in the disclosed mechanism. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Jurisdictions with active children's digital safety legislation may scrutinize whether a teen-initiated revocation model with parent confirmation is sufficient to maintain meaningful parental oversight. EU/EEA GDPR Article 8 and California Age-Appropriate Design Code contexts are most relevant. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: No direct vendor contract implications; this is an end-user-facing design disclosure. Institutional deployers should note the teen-controlled revocation model when assessing platform suitability for supervised minor populations. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that the revocation mechanism is fully documented in the privacy policy and that the confirmation email workflow is operationally implemented as described. The document does not address what happens if the parent confirmation is not received or not completed, which should be clarified in policy documentation.
