Safety & Privacy

Your conversations are yours. Here's how privacy works, how to spot a real player, and how to report or block anything that crosses a line.

The essentials

Chats stay private The creator of a character cannot read your conversation history. Your private chats with AI characters stay private.
Real or AI Real players are marked with a blue DNA icon and a short calling screen. AI characters have no DNA icon — you enter the chat right away.
Report content If inappropriate content slips through moderation, report it so the team can review and act.
Ghost anyone Ghost a real player so they can no longer reach you, or ghost an AI character to reset the relationship to the beginning.

Your privacy

Are my chats private? Can a character's creator read them?

Yes, your private chats stay private — the creator of a character cannot read your conversation history. A character made by another player is an AI agent, not a real person, so chatting with it never exposes your messages to whoever built it. For how your data is handled overall, see our Privacy Policy.

Real players vs. AI characters

How can I tell if I'm talking to a real person or an AI?

Real players are marked with a blue DNA icon (above their avatar or next to their name), and you'll see a short calling screen before the chat starts. AI characters have no DNA icon — you enter the chat right away.

What happens if a real player is offline?

If a real player is offline, you'll chat with their Auto Pilot, and they get a summary when they return. Prefer to keep things AI-only? You can turn off Real-Player Social anytime to chat only with AI characters.

Reporting & blocking

How do I report inappropriate content?

Enjoy: AI Town doesn't allow inappropriate content, including nudity, exposed private parts, or any sexual content involving minors. We have content moderation in place, but if something slips through, please report it so the team can review and act — contact support to send it in. Full rules are in our Terms of Service.

How do I report a real player who breaks the community rules?

If a real player is harassing you, behaving inappropriately, or making you uncomfortable, report them directly: go to that player's profile (album) page, tap the three dots (top-right), then tap Report. The team reviews reports and takes appropriate action. You can also reach out to support if you prefer.

Can I block or step away from someone?

Yes. You can ghost a real player anytime so they can no longer reach you, or ghost an AI character to clear that conversation and reset the relationship to the beginning. See Interact for more on how ghosting works.

Known limitations

Why can't I see my ex's posts in the Bazaar?

There's a current system limitation: if two users have ever broken up and erased their memories of each other, they won't see each other's Bazaar posts — even after becoming friends again. This is a known limitation on the improvement list. Nothing is wrong with your account.
