Usage Policies

Universal policies

However you use Addys, you must:

• Comply with the law. Don't use Addys to do anything illegal, or to help anyone else do so.
• Don't use Addys to harm yourself or others. This includes harm to people, to their property, or to their data.
• Respect people's privacy and consent. Only record, transcribe, and process meetings and information you are allowed to.
• Don't repurpose Addys or its output to harm others. You're responsible for the actions Addys takes on your behalf and for the content it produces under your account.
• Respect our safeguards. Don't bypass, probe, or attempt to defeat the protections, rate limits, or access controls built into Addys.

What you may not do with Addys

You may not use Addys, or any content it generates, to:

Break the law or facilitate harm

• Engage in, plan, or promote illegal activity.
• Threaten, intimidate, harass, defame, or bully any person or group.
• Generate or distribute hateful, abusive, or violent content, or content that sexualizes minors.

Violate privacy or data-protection rules

• Record or transcribe a meeting without the consent required by your jurisdiction and the meeting's participants.
• Collect, infer, or expose sensitive personal information about people without a lawful basis.
• Use Addys to track, surveil, or profile individuals in ways they have not agreed to.

Deceive, defraud, or spam

• Send phishing messages, scams, or other deceptive communications through connected accounts.
• Generate or send unsolicited bulk messages (spam) or impersonate a person or organization without authorization.
• Misrepresent that content was created by a human when it was generated by Addys, where that misrepresentation could mislead someone.

Compromise security

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data — yours or anyone else's.
• Scrape, harvest, or exfiltrate data from connected tools beyond what you are authorized to access.
• Introduce malware, or disrupt or degrade the Addys service or the services it connects to.

Make high-stakes decisions without human oversight

• Rely on Addys as the sole decision-maker for legal, medical, financial, employment, or other consequential decisions.
• Automate actions that materially affect people without a person able to review and intervene.

Meetings, recording, and consent

Addys works by joining, listening to, and summarizing meetings. Recording and transcription laws vary by location, and some require the consent of everyone present. You are responsible for understanding and following the rules that apply to your meetings, and for telling participants when Addys is present.

Your data is yours. Addys accesses your meetings and connected-tool content only to deliver the features you ask for — we don't sell it, we don't use it to train AI models, and no person reviews your content except where you ask us to or where security or the law requires it. Access stays limited to the tools you connect, and you can disconnect a tool or remove Addys from a meeting at any time. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what we collect and how we handle it.

Connected accounts and automated actions

When you connect a tool — email, calendar, messaging, or task systems — you authorize Addys to read context and to prepare actions such as drafting replies or scheduling events. Addys surfaces these as drafts for you to review. You remain responsible for anything that is sent or carried out from your account, so review drafts before approving them, especially for outbound messages and anything irreversible.

Enforcement

If we believe your use of Addys violates these policies, we may take action — including warning you, limiting or suspending your access, or removing content — with or without notice, as the situation requires. Serious or repeated violations may result in termination of your account.

Reporting and questions

If you come across a use of Addys that you believe violates these policies, or you have a question about what's allowed, contact us at help@addys.ai.

Changes to these policies

We may update these Usage Policies from time to time as Addys evolves and as we learn how it's used. When we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use Addys after a change means you accept the revised policies.
