6. DISCLAIMER
WHERE THE PLATFORM PROVIDES VOICE, IMAGE OR LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE FOR ACCESSIBILITY, CONVENIENCE, TRANSLATION OR CONTEXTUAL UNDERSTANDING, SUCH ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED AS AN AUTOMATED AID AND NOT AS A GUARANTEED DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT, DOCUMENT, SIGN, OBJECT, PERSON, PLACE, RISK OR CONTEXT. USERS REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR EXERCISING INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT AND OBTAINING HUMAN ASSISTANCE WHERE CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRE ACCURACY OR SAFETY.
THE PLATFORM IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATORS, INTERPRETERS, LAWYERS, DOCTORS, FINANCIAL ADVISERS, EMERGENCY SERVICES, GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES, ACCESSIBILITY PROFESSIONALS OR OTHER QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. YOU MUST NOT RELY ON THE PLATFORM OR AI OUTPUTS FOR MEDICAL, LEGAL, FINANCIAL, TAX, INVESTMENT, EMERGENCY, GOVERNMENTAL, IMMIGRATION, LAW-ENFORCEMENT, SAFETY-CRITICAL, LIFE-CRITICAL, REGULATED PROFESSIONAL, HIGH-RISK OR OTHER DECISIONS WHERE INACCURATE TRANSLATION, DESCRIPTION, CONTEXTUAL ANSWER OR AUDIO OUTPUT COULD CAUSE HARM, LOSS, LIABILITY OR LEGAL CONSEQUENCE.
AI OUTPUTS MAY CONTAIN ERRORS, MISTRANSLATIONS, OMISSIONS, HALLUCINATIONS, INCORRECT IMAGE INTERPRETATIONS, MISSED NUANCE, DIALECT MISMATCH, TONE MISMATCH, CONTEXTUAL ERRORS, OFFENSIVE OR UNSAFE STATEMENTS, INAPPROPRIATE DESCRIPTIONS, INCORRECT OBJECT RECOGNITION, INCORRECT TEXT RECOGNITION, OR FAILURE TO IDENTIFY RISKS, SENSITIVE CONTENT OR MEANING. YOU SHOULD INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY ANY AI OUTPUT BEFORE RELYING ON IT, PARTICULARLY WHERE THE MATTER IS IMPORTANT, URGENT, REGULATED, SAFETY-SENSITIVE, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, MEDICAL, GOVERNMENTAL, IMMIGRATION-RELATED, EMPLOYMENT-RELATED, EDUCATIONAL, EMERGENCY-RELATED, LIFE-CRITICAL OR OTHERWISE CONSEQUENTIAL.
THE NATURE OF AI PROCESSING MEANS THAT AI OUTPUTS ARE GENERATED ALGORITHMICALLY AND MAY NOT BE DETERMINISTIC. THE SAME OR SIMILAR INPUT DATA MAY PRODUCE DIFFERENT OUTPUTS AT DIFFERENT TIMES DUE TO CHANGES IN MODELS, THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS, LANGUAGE SETTINGS, PROMPTS, SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY FILTERS, LATENCY, NETWORK CONDITIONS, REGIONAL AVAILABILITY, DEVICE SETTINGS OR PRODUCT CONFIGURATION. WE DO NOT REPRESENT THAT AI OUTPUTS WILL BE UNIQUE, EXCLUSIVE, COMPLETE, ACCURATE, LAWFUL, NON-INFRINGING, UNBIASED, NON-OFFENSIVE, SUITABLE FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR FREE FROM ERROR.
AI PROCESSING MAY OCCUR IN MULTIPLE STEPS. FOR EXAMPLE, A VOICE INPUT MAY BE RECORDED OR UPLOADED, CONVERTED INTO A MACHINE-PROCESSABLE FORMAT, TRANSCRIBED, TRANSLATED, EVALUATED FOR SAFETY OR ABUSE SIGNALS, CONVERTED INTO A TRANSLATED OR DESCRIPTIVE AUDIO RESPONSE, ASSOCIATED WITH METADATA SUCH AS LANGUAGE PAIR, DURATION, DEVICE STATE AND SESSION IDENTIFIER, AND LOGGED TO MAINTAIN SERVICE INTEGRITY. SIMILARLY, AN IMAGE INPUT MAY BE CAPTURED OR UPLOADED, ANALYZED FOR TEXT, OBJECTS, CONTEXTUAL FEATURES OR USER QUESTIONS, PROCESSED THROUGH COMPUTER-VISION OR LANGUAGE SYSTEMS, AND CONVERTED INTO A DESCRIPTIVE, TRANSLATED OR VOICE-BASED RESPONSE.
7. AI PROCESSING, MODEL OPERATIONS AND OUTPUTS
The Platform is an AI-enabled service and necessarily involves AI Processing. When you use voice-to-voice translation, image-to-voice functionality, contextual image assistance, language mapping, location-based language configuration or related functionality, your Input Data may be processed by a combination of Company systems and Third-Party Services. These may include speech-to-text systems, text-to-speech systems, translation engines, language models, computer-vision models, object-recognition tools, optical character recognition tools, content-moderation tools, safety classifiers, abuse-prevention systems, analytics tools, cloud infrastructure and other processing systems required to provide the Service.
We may maintain evaluation datasets, test prompts, benchmark outputs, safety cases, abuse signatures, fraud indicators and quality metrics derived from use of the Platform. Where such materials contain Personal Information/Data, access will be limited to authorized personnel or service providers with a need to know and will be subject to retention, confidentiality and security controls described in this Policy.
Feedback, corrections, ratings, suggested translations, quality comments, support tickets and similar inputs provided by you may be used to evaluate, debug, improve and develop the Platform, Services and AI Outputs. You should not include unnecessary Personal Information/Data, SPDI, confidential information or third-party information in feedback unless required to resolve the issue.
Where we use Personal Information/Data for model improvement, evaluation or quality review, we will do so only where permitted by Applicable Laws, this Policy, a consent notice, a feature-specific notice, user settings, contractual necessity, legitimate operational necessity recognized under Applicable Laws, or another lawful basis. We may also restrict model improvement processing for certain categories of Content, such as children’s data, SPDI, payment-related data, account credentials, support grievances or content subject to legal restrictions.
We may use aggregated, anonymized, de-identified or non-personal information to improve, test and monitor the Platform, Services, AI Outputs, safety systems, performance, language quality, feature availability, routing logic, abuse-prevention systems and user experience. We will use reasonable measures designed to prevent such information from reasonably identifying an individual.
Unless expressly disclosed in a consent notice, feature-specific notice or applicable setting, we do not use your voice recordings, images, prompts or other Content containing Personal Information/Data to train third-party public foundation models. Where third-party AI vendors, translation providers, speech providers or computer-vision providers process Input Data, we seek to use configurations, contractual restrictions or technical controls that limit their use of such Input Data to providing and supporting the relevant services, subject to the terms available from those providers and Applicable Laws.
8. MODEL IMPROVEMENT, TRAINING AND EVALUATION
We distinguish between processing needed to provide the Service and processing for model improvement, evaluation or training. Service delivery processing includes receiving Input Data, routing it to appropriate Company systems or Third-Party Services, generating AI Outputs, maintaining session state, applying safety filters, performing abuse checks, calculating Coin deductions and resolving technical errors. Model improvement processing may include quality measurement, debugging, latency evaluation, safety testing, translation-quality review, speech-recognition assessment, image-processing assessment, prompt and response evaluation, and development of improved workflows or safety controls.
Location-related processing may include approximate location derived from IP address, device settings, selected region, language settings, app-store region or network information, and precise location only where enabled by you and required by a feature. Location information may be used to configure language sets, regional experiences, feature availability, fraud-prevention controls, compliance settings, advertising attribution, Offer Wall eligibility and security measures.
You should avoid submitting unnecessary personal details, identity documents, payment information, passwords, health information, children’s information, precise location information, confidential business information, legal documents, medical documents or other sensitive content unless required for the specific Service and unless you have the right and lawful basis to do so. The Platform is not designed as a secure vault for highly sensitive records unless a feature expressly states otherwise.
You must not record, upload, process or submit another person’s voice, image, likeness, biometric information, confidential information, personal information or sensitive information unless you have all notices, consents, permissions and lawful grounds required under Applicable Laws and the Terms and Conditions. This restriction applies to recordings of conversations, images of individuals, images of documents, images containing personal details, workplace recordings, classroom recordings, medical, legal or financial information, and any Content where another person has a privacy or confidentiality interest.
We do not request that you submit biometric information unless a feature expressly requires processing of voice, image or other identifiers for the Service you choose to use. The Platform may process voice or image features to generate translations, transcriptions, descriptions, contextual answers, language outputs, safety filters, fraud-prevention checks, abuse-prevention signals or service-quality metrics. Such processing does not mean that the Company seeks to identify a person uniquely unless that functionality is expressly disclosed.
9. VOICE, IMAGE, BIOMETRIC AND LOCATION-RELATED PROCESSING
The Services may process voice recordings, speech, accents, dialect, language patterns, background audio, images, faces, objects, text within images, places, signs, documents, metadata and location-related settings. Such information may identify you or another person and may reveal sensitive context. Depending on the nature of the Content and the purpose of processing, certain information may constitute SPDI, including biometric information, or may otherwise require heightened care under Applicable Laws.
We may implement safety filters, content moderation rules, rate limits, usage limits, routing controls, feature restrictions, geo-configuration, child-safety controls, sensitive-content filters and other safeguards. These controls may prevent, modify, delay, refuse or limit processing of certain Content or generation of certain AI Outputs, including where necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, protect users, protect third-party rights, reduce misuse or maintain integrity of the Platform.
Where an automated process materially affects your account, access, Coins, rewards, subscription status or rights under Applicable Laws, you may contact us through the grievance mechanism described in this Policy. We may review relevant logs, device information, offer-completion records, support communications, payment metadata, Content metadata and other records necessary to resolve the issue, subject to Applicable Laws and the Terms and Conditions.
The Platform may use automated systems to detect abuse, fraud, malware, unlawful content, prohibited conduct, spam, manipulation of Coins, Offer Wall abuse, repeated failed payments, suspicious device behavior, account compromise, policy violations, unsafe prompts, harmful outputs or attempts to circumvent technical measures. Such automated systems may affect availability of features, routing of requests, generation or suppression of outputs, suspension of rewards, investigation of accounts, security challenges or enforcement actions.
Human Review will be limited to personnel or service providers who have a need to access the relevant information for the permitted purpose, subject to access controls, confidentiality obligations, logging where appropriate, internal policies and other safeguards. We may redact, mask, minimize, aggregate, anonymize or de-identify information where reasonably practicable and consistent with the purpose of review.
Most AI Outputs are generated through automated processing. However, authorized personnel, contractors, vendors or service providers may conduct Human Review for limited purposes such as customer support, troubleshooting, quality assurance, abuse investigation, safety review, model evaluation, fraud prevention, security incident response, legal compliance, grievance handling, enforcement of the Terms and Conditions or responding to lawful requests.
10. HOW WE SHARE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
We may share Information/Data in the following ways:
a) Affiliates and group companies: We may share Information/Data with our affiliates and group companies to operate, administer, support, secure and improve the Platform and Services.

g) Business transfers: We may disclose or transfer Information/Data in connection with a merger, acquisition, investment, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, insolvency, reorganization or transfer of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards.
h) Legal purposes: We may disclose Information/Data where required or permitted by Applicable Laws, court order, governmental direction, legal process, investigation, cyber-security reporting obligation or to protect rights, property, safety, security or the public interest.
i) Any other person with your consent: We may share Information/Data where you instruct or authorize us to disclose it to a specified recipient.
We do not disclose Personal Information/Data for unrelated monetary consideration. Where a Third-Party Service processes information for advertising, attribution, rewards or monetization, such processing will be governed by this Policy, the relevant third-party policy, your choices and Applicable Laws.
We will seek to ensure that vendor changes do not materially reduce the protection of Personal Information/Data under this Policy.

We may change, add, remove, replace or reconfigure AI vendors, models, cloud providers, speech engines, translation engines, computer-vision tools, analytics providers, safety systems or other processing tools from time to time to improve functionality, safety, latency, availability, cost, language coverage, quality, reliability or legal compliance. Such changes may affect output quality, available features, regional availability, latency, retention, data flows and the categories of processors involved.
Where a provider acts as our Data Processor or service provider, we seek to impose appropriate obligations relating to confidentiality, purpose limitation, security, access controls, retention, incident notification, assistance with rights requests, deletion or return of data, and restrictions on unauthorized use of Input Data. Where a provider acts independently, its own terms and privacy policy may apply, and you should review such terms where the provider is identified or where you interact directly with that Third-Party Service.
The Company may use AI vendors, translation providers, speech-processing providers, computer-vision providers, cloud infrastructure providers, analytics providers, safety-tool providers, moderation vendors, monitoring tools and other service providers to operate the Platform. These providers may process Input Data, Content, metadata, device data, logs, AI Outputs or other Information/Data on our behalf or as independent providers, depending on their role and contractual terms.
11. HOW DO WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION
We retain Information/Data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by Applicable Laws, contractual obligations, tax/accounting requirements, regulatory requirements, fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, enforcement of the Terms and Conditions or establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Account, profile and contact information is generally retained while your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting or dispute-resolution purposes. Coin, subscription, payment metadata, Offer Wall and transaction records may be retained as required for accounting, tax, audit, anti-fraud, chargeback, refund, verification and legal purposes.
Voice recordings, images, prompts, transcripts, AI Outputs and session Content may be processed transiently for providing the relevant Service and may not be retained permanently unless you choose to save them, a feature expressly provides for retention, retention is required for safety, debugging, fraud prevention, legal compliance or we otherwise disclose the retention in a feature-specific notice.
For AI Processing, we may retain different elements for different periods. Raw audio, raw images and prompts may be retained for shorter periods or processed transiently, while metadata, safety logs, abuse-prevention logs, Coin consumption records, model-routing records, quality metrics, error logs and support records may be retained for longer periods where necessary for security, fraud prevention, service integrity, accounting, legal compliance, dispute resolution or improvement of the Platform.
Where feasible, we may separate Content from account identifiers, apply access restrictions, de-identify records, aggregate metrics, minimize raw Content retention or use sampling techniques for quality review. De-identification or anonymization may not be reversible, and once information has been anonymized or aggregated it may not be possible to associate it with your account or respond to access, correction or erasure requests in relation to that anonymized or aggregated information.
Deletion of account information or Content may not immediately delete all backup copies, logs, legal records, security records, payment records, Offer Wall verification records or data retained by Third-Party Services, but we will apply deletion, de-identification, anonymization or retention controls in accordance with Applicable Laws and our retention practices.
The Platform may not retain permanent chat history, transcript history, image history, voice history or session history for all features. Deleted, expired, transient or non-retained conversations, translations, recordings, images, prompts, AI Outputs, Coins, sessions or logs may not be recoverable.
When retention is no longer necessary, we will delete, de-identify, anonymize or aggregate Information/Data in accordance with Applicable Laws and our internal retention practices.
12. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We implement reasonable security practices and procedures and appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect Information/Data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, loss, misuse and accidental damage. These measures may include access controls, authentication, encryption or similar safeguards where appropriate, logging, vulnerability management, vendor controls, incident-response processes, employee or contractor confidentiality obligations and periodic review of security practices.
No method of transmission, storage or processing is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, securing your device and promptly notifying us of any unauthorized access, suspected compromise or misuse of your account.
Where a security incident or personal data breach triggers a reporting obligation under Applicable Laws, we will take steps required by law, which may include notifying affected Data Principals, the Data Protection Board of India, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), law-enforcement authorities or other competent authorities, as applicable.
AI-related security measures may include prompt-abuse monitoring, rate limiting, anomaly detection, access logging, segregation of production and testing environments, vendor-access controls, evaluation of model and API endpoints, restrictions on employee access to raw Content, controls on export of logs, and review of incidents involving unintended disclosure, prompt injection, model misuse, excessive data exposure or unauthorized access to Content or AI Outputs.
You should not attempt prompt injection, model extraction, data extraction, scraping, automated abuse, circumvention of safety filters, unauthorized access to AI systems or any other activity intended to expose system prompts, hidden instructions, non-public model configurations, other users’ data, vendor credentials, security controls or confidential platform information.
13. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND FEATURES
The Platform may include Third-Party Services, advertisements, rewarded advertisements, Offer Wall tasks, surveys, games, links, SDKs or integrations. These may be provided by Advertising Partners, Offer Wall providers, app stores, payment providers, AI vendors, analytics providers or other third parties.
When you interact with a Third-Party Service, the third party may collect information directly from you or your device, including device identifiers, IP address, advertising identifier, interaction data, reward eligibility, offer completion status and other information needed to provide the third-party functionality. Their privacy policy and terms will govern their independent processing.
We may receive confirmation, attribution, verification, anti-fraud and reward-status information from Third-Party Services so that we can credit Coins, verify eligibility, prevent manipulation and resolve disputes. Completion of Offer Wall activities does not guarantee Coin credit unless all applicable completion conditions, third-party verification requirements and anti-fraud checks are satisfied.
The Platform may use cloud infrastructure, AI vendors, analytics providers, support tools, payment partners, Advertising Partners and other Third-Party Services located in India or outside India. Accordingly, Personal Information/Data may be transferred to, stored in or processed in jurisdictions outside India for the purposes described in this Policy. We will undertake such transfers in accordance with Applicable Laws, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and any restrictions, safeguards or conditions notified by the Central Government or applicable regulators from time to time.
