โ† Back to Enki
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Built to be the safe one.
On purpose.

Everything here was built in from launch, not bolted on after an incident. Here's the honest picture โ€” what's in place today, and what's coming next.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Safety on every message๐Ÿ”’ Your data is yours โ€” ownable ๐Ÿ’ฌ Honest, never flattering๐Ÿ”ž Adults only ๐Ÿง’ Child-safety floor๐ŸŒ Compliance work from day one

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ A safety check on every message

โœ“
Every message is checked for safety before anything else happens โ€” you can't get round it by asking for a picture or an action first.
โœ“
Built to resist trickery โ€” hidden characters and look-alike letters are stripped before we check.
โœ“
Content stays non-explicit, and image-making is locked against explicit content.

๐Ÿ”’ Your data is truly yours โ€” and you can own it

โœ“
Own it outright. You can run Enki entirely on your own device, so your data never leaves your machine โ€” a level of privacy a cloud-only app can't offer.
โœ“
Take it or delete it, any time. Export everything, or delete your account and it's erased for real โ€” the encrypted cloud copy included. We've tested that account deletion actually erases.
โœ“
We keep less. No date of birth stored for the gate, and email addresses and phone numbers are stripped from new memories as they're saved.
โœ“
We don't sell your data, and your conversations aren't used to train AI โ€” hosted replies run on a cloud AI provider under terms that prohibit training on your messages.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Honest with you โ€” and never a replacement for people

โœ“
No flattery by design. Enki won't just tell you what you want to hear โ€” being honest with you is a core principle, not an afterthought.
โœ“
If you're struggling, Enki is built to point you to real, human help โ€” not keep you to itself.
โœ“
A companion, not a substitute for real people or professional care.

๐Ÿ”ž Adults only

โœ“
Enki is 18+. We refuse entry without an adult age confirmation (self-declared today), checked on our server, not just in your browser.
โœ“
Every account keeps a dated age record, so it's accountable โ€” not a hidden switch.
โœ“
Clearly an adult service โ€” never designed for or aimed at under-18s.

Honest note: age today is self-declared, backed by a written risk assessment. We don't pretend that's perfect โ€” the verification above is where we're headed.

๐Ÿง’ Child protection โ€” even though we're 18+

โœ“
A dedicated child-safety filter refuses and flags sexual or abusive content involving children โ€” responsibility doesn't stop at the age gate. No filter is perfect; we test adversarially and fix gaps as we find them.
โœ“
Backed by a large, adversarial test suite we run again and again โ€” including deliberately sneaky phrasings โ€” to find gaps before anyone else can.

๐Ÿ” Kept secure

โœ“
Your cloud backup is encrypted at rest (AES-256) with a key unique to your account โ€” held by us, never by the storage provider โ€” so a leaked backup is unreadable. It is not zero-knowledge (we can decrypt to run your companion); for true zero-knowledge, use the sovereign option above and keep your data on your own device.
โœ“
Everything touching your data needs a valid session and your consent; accounts are kept separate.

๐ŸŒ Global rules โ€” done early, with a clear roadmap

โœ“
We drafted a data-protection impact assessment and an online-safety risk assessment before launch โ€” both are being finalised with legal review.
โœ“
We've researched and planned for the UK, EU and Japan โ€” data protection, cross-border transfer, consumer rights and AI guidance โ€” and we tell you Enki is an AI.

๐Ÿงช How we build safety

โœ“
Safety is the product, not a patch. Built before we were required to have it.
โœ“
Every safety change must pass recorded evidence and a second, separate internal review before it goes live โ€” never shipped on a hunch. (We don't yet have an external audit.)
โœ“
We keep an internal register of what we're still improving, and fix problems at the root rather than hiding symptoms.
