NSFW AI Companion Safety: What to Know in 2026
Privacy, consent, age verification, and how to spot platforms cutting corners on safety.
Privacy basics
Never use a real photo of a real person as a companion reference without explicit consent. Most reputable platforms now block this automatically.
Check the platform's retention policy. The best platforms let you delete chats and generated images permanently from the account dashboard.
