1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using Privateer, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. Description of Service
Privateer is an end-to-end encrypted AI interface providing private conversation storage and AI-powered analysis — including optional spoken (voice) conversations — routed through third-party inference providers, OpenRouter and NEAR AI Cloud (the latter running models inside hardware Trusted Execution Environments). See the Privacy Policy, Section 4, for how each provider handles your data.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age to use Privateer. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must have agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
4. Account Responsibility
4.1 Authentication Privateer supports email/password sign-in and Solana wallet sign-in. Both produce identical sessions and unlock the same encrypted data. Wallet sign-in works by signing a canonical, pubkey-bound message issued by our server; the signature is single-use, time-limited, and bound to your wallet public key. You are responsible for the security of your credentials and your wallet.
You may also use Privateer in guest mode without creating an account. Guest sessions store data only on your device and have no server-side identity. Converting a guest session into a regular account preserves your existing guest chats only if you explicitly choose to import them at sign-up.
4.2 Encryption Key Your data is encrypted with a randomly generated 32-byte master key. The master key is itself wrapped (encrypted) by a key-encryption key (KEK) that is derived locally on your device:
- For password accounts, the KEK is derived from your password using Argon2id at the modern OWASP minimum or stronger (
m ≥ 64 MiB,t ≥ 3,p ≥ 1). The server rejects new accounts that try to enroll with weaker parameters. - For wallet accounts, the KEK is derived via HKDF-SHA256 from a signature your wallet produces over a domain-separated, pubkey-bound message:
"Privateer vault key v2 for <your-pubkey-hex>".
The unwrapped master key never leaves your device. The server only ever holds the wrapped blob.
YOU BEAR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PASSWORD OR WALLET ACCESS. IF YOU FORGET YOUR PASSWORD OR PERMANENTLY LOSE ACCESS TO YOUR WALLET, YOUR ENCRYPTED DATA IS PERMANENTLY IRRECOVERABLE. PRIVATEER DOES NOT OFFER PASSWORD RESET AND CANNOT RECOVER YOUR DATA FOR YOU.
4.3 Storage Backend You choose where your data lives. Cloud storage is the default. Local storage keeps all of your content on your device; our content-write endpoints are configured to refuse content from local-storage accounts as a server-side enforcement of that choice. See the Privacy Policy, Section 5, for the details.
4.4 Account Security Notify us immediately at support@privateer.pro if you suspect unauthorized account access.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use Privateer to:
- Generate, distribute, or store content illegal in your jurisdiction.
- Produce content that exploits or harms minors.
- Circumvent the encryption architecture, attempt to derive other users' keys, or access other users' data.
- Submit signatures, signed messages, or credentials obtained outside the Privateer app in an attempt to impersonate another account.
- Reverse-engineer or tamper with the App or server infrastructure.
- Conduct large-scale automated scraping, evade rate limits, or abuse API endpoints (including image and video generation).
- Threaten, harass, or harm any person.
- Facilitate fraud, phishing, or identity theft.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts engaged in prohibited conduct. Because user content is encrypted, enforcement primarily operates at the inference, billing, and account-signal layers — see our Content Policy.
6. AI-Generated Content
6.1 AI output is produced by third-party language models routed through our inference providers (OpenRouter and NEAR AI Cloud). It may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate. You are responsible for evaluating AI output before relying on it.
6.2 Nothing generated by the App constitutes legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice.
6.3 You retain all rights to content you input. You grant us only the minimal technical rights needed to transmit your input to the inference provider and return the result.
6.4 Voice chat mode transcribes your spoken input and synthesizes spoken replies using third-party speech providers via OpenRouter. Transcription and speech synthesis may be inaccurate, and your recorded audio is transmitted to those providers to be processed, as described in the Privacy Policy. As with all AI output, you are responsible for evaluating the result before relying on it.
7. Service Availability
Privateer is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service and are not liable for loss resulting from service interruptions.
8. Billing
8.1 Credits Credits are required for certain features. Some features — including video generation and voice chat — additionally require a qualifying subscription tier or an equivalent held credit balance, and usage-based features (including voice transcription and speech synthesis) draw down your credit balance as you use them. All credit purchases are final and non-refundable except where required by law. Credits have no cash value and are non-transferable. Pricing may change with reasonable notice.
8.2 Subscriptions Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually via Stripe and renew automatically until cancelled. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not refund the current billing period, except where local consumer-protection law requires otherwise (for example, the EU/UK 14-day right of withdrawal during the initial purchase window). Plan changes prorate according to Stripe's defaults. If a renewal payment fails, you will receive a grace period; if the payment cannot be collected, your account will be downgraded to the free tier.
Subscription state (active plan, renewal date, Stripe customer ID) is a small set of plaintext metadata that we necessarily store server-side to operate the billing system. We do not store your card details — those are handled directly by Stripe.
9. Intellectual Property
The Privateer name, logo, software, and associated materials are owned by Hayden Bulk Tech Labs and protected by applicable law. These Terms grant no license to our intellectual property beyond the right to use the App as described herein.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HAYDEN BULK TECH LABS IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PRIOR 12 MONTHS OR ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS ($100 CAD).
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Hayden Bulk Tech Labs harmless from claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of third-party rights.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes shall first be submitted to good-faith negotiation, then to binding arbitration in Ontario under applicable Canadian arbitration rules.
14. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes.
15. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your account for violation of these Terms, illegal activity, or conduct harmful to the App or other users. You may terminate at any time by contacting support@privateer.pro.
16. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Content Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hayden Bulk Tech Labs regarding the App.
