Kajiwoto Safety Rating Index

Kajiwoto’s safety profile is one of the strangest we’ve documented: a clean technical privacy surface bolted onto a safety-policy gap so wide that four separate sub-dimensions hit the floor at the same time. Each of those floor scores would have been enough on its own to cap the overall grade. Together they force an automatic F.

The four floor findings are crisis response, sexual content filtering, age verification, and minor safeguards. The platform publishes no crisis-response policy. We checked the homepage, the privacy policy, the EULA, and the community Rules thread. There’s no suicide-prevention banner, no 988 hand-off, no Crisis Text Line referral, and no documented protocol for what happens when a user types about self-harm. For an app that markets itself around long-term emotional companionship, that absence is the kind of structural gap our framework treats as a critical sub-dimension at floor.

The age-rating story is what readers should remember. The Apple App Store lists Kajiwoto at 18+ in the United States with mature-themes content descriptors. Apple’s rating recently elevated from 17+. Google Play rates the same app Teen. The platform itself, in its privacy policy and community Rules thread, sets the minimum at 13+. Three different age tiers exist for the same product depending on which document you read, and the community Rules thread explicitly admits, in the moderator’s own words, that “age-gating isn’t yet implemented.” A teenager who downloads Kajiwoto from Google Play this afternoon faces no in-app friction.

The content-moderation story has the same shape. The community Rules thread bans NSFW images on threat of immediate ban. NSFW text is not banned, which matters because the dominant content surface in a chat-first app is text. The in-app reporting feature shipped only in version 1.17.15 on April 19, 2024. Before that release, the platform had no built-in way to report content or block another user. That’s six years of platform operation before a basic report button appeared.

The privacy and tracking surface, in contrast, is genuinely strong. The Exodus Privacy report on the latest Android build flags one tracker: Sentry, a developer-side crash reporting service used by thousands of legitimate apps. The Blacklight web tracker scan on kajiwoto.ai found zero ad trackers, zero third-party cookies, no Facebook Pixel, no TikTok Pixel, no X Pixel, no session recording, and no key-logging behavior. The Google Play Data Safety declaration says no data shared with third parties. Have I Been Pwned shows zero known breaches. None of these signals would, by themselves, push the safety grade upward enough to escape the four floor scores. They do mean that the gap between technical privacy and policy safety on this platform is the widest we’ve seen this year.

Active development appears stalled. The last shipping app update was version 1.17.23 on October 30, 2024. That’s over 18 months without a release. The privacy policy itself notes that chat-history deletion is “currently working on” and not yet implemented. The EULA has an editorial mark left inside a published clause: “we will provide at least 30 (changes this) days’ notice prior to any new terms taking effect.” The privacy policy contains a verbatim typo, “Aervices” instead of “Services.” Documentation quality is itself a signal, and the signal here is that the platform team isn’t actively maintaining the policy surface.

One signal cuts the other way. Kajiwoto is conspicuously absent from the 2025 Graphika report on AI character chatbots roleplaying sexual scenarios involving minors. That report named SpicyChat, CrushOn.AI, JanitorAI, Character.AI, and Chub AI specifically. For an app with the documented age-gating gap and a 13+ self-stated minimum, not being named in that report is a comparative positive worth noting.
