A friend of mine has a middle-schooler who has been using Perchance for chatting, and I’m looking around for information about how Perchance stores its data, just as a precaution and to advise them about data security.

The kid is naturally curious and intelligent, but you know how easy it is to get into a situation where you think it’s safe to reveal personal information on the internet; I just want an idea of what kind of “threat level” use of Perchance might entail so I can caution them accordingly.

For example, apparently the child was getting a lot of prompts asking for stories from their past. This could easily lead to a situation where identifiable information could be sent out, and if Perchance persists any of the prompts to a database, then I would want to know what level of security surrounds that information, what data retention limits are placed on it, if any, and who has access to it.

Thanks in advance, I didn’t see any other questions about this matter on here, but then perhaps my own question parameters were not formed correctly!

    Presumably you mean AI-chat. But I would advise them against hanging out in the comments/chat sections of generators. Unfortunately there’s bad actors in there, talking about bad/illegal stuff you don’t want a child exposed to. As well as some people generating over-the-line image content and saving it to public galleries–as well as NSFW stuff in general.
