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.

THE EVIDENCE REGISTER

Follow a field back to its source.

18 platform passports · billing and privacy conditions

Source dates

1 platform matches

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

No supporting source read recorded

Public character-discovery and sharing controls were not examined in this review. A conversation-privacy statement does not establish all character-sharing settings.

No supporting source read recorded

The policy collects chat and customization content and permits sharing for described business, service and legal purposes. The review does not establish every staff-access condition or encryption architecture.

Sources read 4 Oct 2026

Nomipedia describes aggregate learning from conversations and feedback after removing identifying information. This is a product-wiki explanation. A specific opt-out and treatment of all earlier content were not established.

Sources read 4 Oct 2026

The policy describes personal-data deletion about 28 days after confirmation, with exceptions including support correspondence archives. No universal immediate-deletion promise is inferred.

Sources read 4 Oct 2026

Account Settings is the described deletion route; the policy preserves stated archival and legal exceptions. Archive exceptions and copied content require separate consideration.

Sources read 4 Oct 2026

The policy makes access and transfer rights depend on applicable law. A self-serve conversation export or its file contents were not established.

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.
