Dates describe a scoped review. A source read is distinct from a publisher’s update date, an entry revision and an account-level product test. This register covers selected platform passports, billing notes and privacy conditions, rather than the entire discovery catalogue.

Dates belong to the sources supporting each displayed field. Billing notes describe public statements; they do not establish completed purchases or account behavior.

Billing note: Free access

Sourced conditions

The help center lists six lifetime image generations, stored for seven days. Generating with a specific character uses Neurons instead of this free allowance. A free chat quota was not verified.

Sources read 3 Oct 2026

Monthly benefits refresh on the purchase anniversary day, including on annual plans. The help article says unused benefits roll over; it does not specify the number included.

Sources read 3 Oct 2026

Neurons cover services outside the subscription. The terms list 4 Neurons to read a romantic message, up to 120 to view a photo and up to 1,900 to view a video. These are access prices, not generation counts, and can vary.

Sources read 3 Oct 2026

Separate Bot Subscriptions require an active Premium plan. Their price and the cash cost of Neurons remain unverified.

Sources read 3 Oct 2026

Premium is recurring, with monthly, quarterly, six-month or annual billing. The terms describe cancellation in My Subscriptions before renewal; the account flow has not been tested.

Character-discovery and private-sharing controls were not established from this notice. Check character visibility separately from the policy’s conversation-processing statements.

No supporting source read recorded

The notice allows access by operational staff and service providers, alongside stated legal and business exceptions. Its non-sharing statement has exceptions; it is not a promise that only the user can access messages.

Sources read 4 Oct 2026

The notice lists text and voice messages as used to improve replies and develop AI. The exact shared-model training scope and a conversation-training opt-out were not established.

Sources read 4 Oct 2026

Data is retained as needed for the service, with legal and legitimate-interest exceptions. A fixed expiry period for all conversations and backups was not established.

Sources read 4 Oct 2026

Profile deletion or a support request can remove data, subject to retention exceptions. Previously disclosed data and caches may remain. No immediate erasure of every copy or completed deletion was verified.

Sources read 4 Oct 2026

The EU section describes conditional machine-readable personal-data portability through support and identity verification. This does not establish a self-serve chat archive, character-card export or availability for every user.

Read the date alongside the scope.

“Read” means the public source supported the stated field or note in that review. “Publisher date” is the date shown by the source when one was available. An older publication can still be useful reference; its age alone does not establish that a claim is wrong. A recent source read does not establish behavior inside an account.

When a field uses several sources, the register retains the earliest and latest read dates. It does not replace all of them with the newest date. An access attempt can be dated without producing supporting feature evidence. Fields without a supporting source remain unestablished.

Changes in Atlas are separate from provider releases.

A clarification can add a better reference, distinguish two mechanisms or explain a plan qualification. A recheck can leave a question unresolved. Neither is an announcement that a provider launched a feature on our review date. The history shows what our entry previously recorded and what it now records.

The register begins with documented work in this research edition. It is not an exhaustive history of every platform or a continuously monitored change feed. Open questions list the evidence needed next; they do not imply that a check has been scheduled or performed.

Use uncertainty to make a better shortlist.

If a price is unknown, avoid treating it as free. If two statements have different scopes, keep the distinction until a primary source establishes which applies. If only import is documented, do not assume export or old-chat continuity. The platform finder and comparison tool keep these gaps visible.

For actual conversation behavior, use the memory observation worksheet to record a plan, model, conditions and exact reply. A feature description alone cannot supply a measured outcome.
