Public Cards are intended to be enjoyed and interacted with by everyone.

4. Sensitive Cards
Sensitive Cards can be best described as containing content intended for a mature audience. Users who are of the age of 18 or above who wish to interact with Sensitive Cards must opt-in through their personal user settings and must consent to access Sensitive Cards of mature content. By providing this consent, users acknowledge and accept potential viewing and interaction of Sensitive Cards that may not be to their liking. Users are able to control their content access by blocking certain content from being shown in their personal settings. Any and all image content in all Sensitive Cards must not contain sexual, graphic, controversial or other extreme elements. Some leniency is provided to the text content of Cards as long it abides by Section 6: General Card Guidelines, however, text content that is too graphic, controversial or contain other extreme elements may be subject to removal. PygmalionAI staff reserve the right to remove Cards from the platform if the content of the Card violates our community guidelines.
5. Private Cards
Users are allowed to create and interact with their Private Cards as they see fit. We do not proactively seek out or monitor content within Private Cards out of respect of user privacy, however, users who are discovered or found on-site or off-site to be engaging with their Private Cards in prohibited topics will be subject to removal of their account. Users can trust that their private creative endeavours will not be interfered with unless a valid concern is raised within the community or by PygmalionAI staff. Users are advised that PygmalionAI staff review all Cards submitted for public and sensitive categories. It is recommended that you do not accidentally label your private-only Cards for public or sensitive submission as it may lead to Administrator investigation of your profile.
