Community Guidelines & Acceptable Use Policy

1. Our Community Values

Chatalystar is designed to be a safe, engaging platform for adults to explore emotional connections and communication skills through AI interactions. We are committed to maintaining a respectful environment that protects all users while allowing creative expression within appropriate boundaries.

2. Age Requirement & Verification

Chatalystar is strictly for adults. Members must be at least 18 years of age, and human creators ("Stars") must be at least 21 years of age. By using our platform, you confirm that you meet the age requirement that applies to you. We actively enforce age verification and will terminate accounts of users found to be underage.

2.1 Verified Human Creators (Stars)

Every human creator ("Star") on Chatalystar has completed third-party identity and age verification through Veriff before appearing on our platform. This ensures all Stars are legal adults aged 21 or older. Verification records are maintained per applicable regulations.

2.2 AI Characters Are Adults

Chatalystar offers two distinct categories of AI characters. Both are fictional adults aged 18 or older. No AI character on the platform represents, depicts, or simulates a minor.

• Muses — the platform's original fictional AI characters available to everyone in the Muse roster. Each Muse is an original adult fictional persona created by Chatalystar; Muses do not represent any real person.
• Simulated Presence™ — an optional AI persona that an individual Star can choose to enable so it can reply to Members on the Star's behalf when the Star is offline. Each Simulated Presence is a representation of an existing 21+ Veriff-verified Star, trained on that Star with their explicit consent. Whenever a Simulated Presence is replying instead of the Star directly, it is clearly labeled in chat so Members always know whether they are interacting with a real person or with AI.

Any attempt to use either category of AI to simulate interactions with minors is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination and potential law enforcement referral.
