Crucial Warning: Chai AI’s Liability Shifting and 5-Year Data Retention
If you use Chai AI, you need to know how they have quietly rewritten their policies. In their latest updates, Chai states that while you "own" your text, you grant them a "perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license" to use your creative content, prompts, and bots for commercial redistribution and advertising.
Furthermore, their privacy policy explicitly states they can retain your harvested chat data for up to 5 years even after you delete your account, and any data already absorbed by their AI training models cannot be removed. This, combined with recent hidden history caps and sudden automated data wipes reported by the community, shows they are prioritizing data-harvesting over user protection. If you value your privacy, stop chatting on this platform.
