Chronicle AI accuracy and privacy disclaimer

Legal Disclaimer and Liability Waiver

By using Chronicle, you agree to the following.

Nature of the Software

Chronicle is an AI-assisted document-reading and restructuring tool. It helps convert source material into more accessible output formats, but it does not guarantee correctness, completeness, legal sufficiency, or suitability for any particular professional purpose.

No Warranty

Chronicle is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability.

Accuracy and Human Verification

AI-assisted extraction can produce:

• transcription errors
• omissions
• structural mistakes
• incorrect readings of degraded source material
• hallucinated or overconfident phrasing if provider behavior fails to follow instructions perfectly

You are solely responsible for reviewing outputs against the original source material before using, sharing, filing, or otherwise relying on them.

Prohibited Sole-Reliance Uses

Do not rely on Chronicle output as the sole basis for:

• medical decisions
• legal advice or court filing conclusions
• financial decisions
• safety-critical decisions
• compliance determinations
• evidentiary conclusions without human verification

Data Processing Boundary

Chronicle may transmit document content to third-party AI providers selected by the user, including providers such as Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

Chronicle cannot control or override:

• provider retention policies
• provider training policies
• provider confidentiality terms
• provider account-tier limitations

You are responsible for:

• ensuring you have the right to process the content
• complying with privacy, confidentiality, records, export-control, and contractual obligations
• selecting provider plans/settings appropriate for the material being processed

Local Storage and Recovery

Chronicle may store local configuration, API key metadata, logs, and session-recovery data on the local machine.

Where supported, keychain/keyring storage is the preferred path for secrets. Local app-data storage may still be used as fallback.

Recovery features are best-effort only and do not guarantee prevention of loss in cases such as:

• forced termination
• operating-system failure
• disk failure
• abrupt power loss
• corrupted third-party provider responses

Security Responsibility

You remain responsible for operational security around the machine and data you use with Chronicle, including:

• machine access control
• backup practices
• retention practices
• secure handling of sensitive or regulated material
• prompt rotation of exposed keys or credentials

Liability Limitation

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the author and maintainers are not liable for any damages, losses, claims, business interruption, data loss, compliance failures, legal consequences, or other harm arising from use of Chronicle or from reliance on Chronicle outputs.

Jurisdiction and Use

If local law does not permit some disclaimer or limitation language, use Chronicle only to the extent permitted by your jurisdiction.
