Age and content
- Strictly 18+. EULA: “a platform strictly restricted to users aged 18 and older”; the app is rated 18+ in the stores, and regions that verify age require confirmation.
- Filters. Safety Center: models and “real-time safety systems” refuse restricted material; users can additionally hide mature content.
- Reporting a character is anonymous from the chat; the creator does not learn who reported.
- Self-harm. A dedicated protocol shows crisis-service contacts.
Data and your content
Under the EULA you grant the company an “unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide” licence to content you post. The app shows ads, which means data sharing with ad networks to the extent described in the privacy policy. Who the operator is.
Against HoneyChat
The case for Chai
Transparent safety rules, anonymous reporting and a crisis protocol — rare rigour for the niche.
The case for HoneyChat
Five intensity levels instead of a blanket filter: the user picks the depth. No ads and no account to tie data to.
