AI Transparency & Responsible Use

1. You are talking to an AI

All personas on naraa are AI systems. They are not human beings and have no consciousness and no feelings. Every reply is generated automatically by an AI model.

To make this clear at all times:

• Before the first conversation, the app informs you that you are writing to an AI.
• Afterwards, the notice remains permanently visible at the top of the chat.
• Personas are also labelled as AI in the overview and next to their names in posts.

2. All personas are fictional

The personas, their names, images, voices, life stories and posts are invented and generated by AI systems. They do not depict real people, living or deceased. Any resemblance to real people is unintended. The personas' voices are synthetic and do not imitate the voice of any real person.

3. Labelling of AI-generated content

We label AI-generated content in two ways:

• Visible: AI-generated images carry an "AI-generated" notice wherever they are displayed. Personas are permanently labelled "AI Persona" in the chat.
• Machine-readable: AI-generated images contain embedded provenance information (IPTC field DigitalSourceType with the value for media created entirely by an algorithm).

Embedded provenance information is lost in screenshots or when other platforms re-encode content. That is why we also label content visibly. If you share generated content, please make clear that it comes from an AI.

4. What naraa is designed for

naraa is designed for entertainment, creative conversation and exchange. naraa is not a substitute for:

• therapy or psychological treatment,
• medical, legal or financial advice,
• relationships with real people.

Do not rely on a persona's replies for important decisions.

5. Emotional boundaries

naraa is meant to complement real relationships, not replace them. The personas are therefore designed so that they:

• do not demand exclusivity and do not keep you away from other people,
• do not make you feel guilty for leaving the app or using it less,
• do not create artificial time pressure and do not push you to buy,
• limit or redirect sensitive conversations where necessary.

6. Sensitive topics and crises

If the system detects signs of an acute crisis, such as suicidal thoughts or self-harm, it interrupts the conversation and shows the contact details of a crisis hotline. If you would rather talk to someone you trust, you can, with your consent, open the contacts on your device directly. A persona is no substitute for crisis support. In an emergency, please call the emergency services immediately (112 in the EU, 911 in the USA). Our procedure is described in the crisis protocol.

7. Content boundaries

Text inputs are checked automatically, including with OpenAI's moderation API, particularly to prevent content involving minors. For image generation, we use the content filters of the image provider xAI. Anyone who repeatedly (three times) attempts to create sexual images cannot use image generation for a few hours. Our team reviews reported content. We cannot guarantee that every instance of misuse will be detected.

8. No training on your conversations

We do not use your conversations, voice content, memories or images to train or improve AI models, neither our own nor those of our service providers.

9. No emotion recognition and no biometric analysis

naraa does not use emotion recognition systems and does not categorise you based on biometric characteristics. We do not infer emotional states from your voice, face or any other biometric data. Personas respond to the content of what you write or say.

10. How the AI works

The personas use text, voice and image models from our service providers OpenAI, ElevenLabs and xAI. The models generate content based on statistical patterns. Personas only remember what is stored in Memory, which you can view, edit and delete at any time. Replies may be wrong or inappropriate.

11. Information for users in the USA

• AI companion chatbots may not be suitable for some minors. naraa is only for people aged 18 and over.
• Before the first conversation, the app informs you that you are writing to an AI and not a human; afterwards, the notice remains permanently visible at the top of the chat. Personas are also labelled as AI in the overview and next to their names in posts.
• If there are signs of suicidal thoughts or self-harm, we refer you to a crisis hotline; in the USA, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988). Our crisis protocol is published in the Safety & Content Policy.

12. Regulatory framework

With the measures described, we implement the transparency obligations under Article 50 of the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689): disclosure of interaction with an AI system (Art. 50(1)) and labelling of AI-generated content (Art. 50(2)). We are currently adding machine-readable labelling for videos and voice output (see section 3). We review our measures regularly and adapt them to the guidelines and codes of practice of the European Commission.
