Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By installing the Prism Chrome extension, creating an account, or using the Prism dashboard, you are agreeing to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use Prism.

These terms apply to all versions of Prism, including the Chrome extension, the web dashboard, and any future mobile applications. They form a legally binding agreement between you and Prism ("Prism", "we", "us").

By using Prism, you also confirm that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your data.

2. Description of service

Prism is a data sovereignty product. It consists of:

• A Chrome browser extension that captures your browsing behaviour and the cookies and trackers placed on your device by websites you visit
• A personal data wallet: an encrypted store for your browsing data, owned entirely by you
• A web dashboard for viewing, managing, and controlling your data
• An AI assistant powered by Anthropic's Claude API, which generates personalised insights using anonymised summaries of your data
• Consent management tools for blocking trackers, rejecting consent banners, and controlling what sites can do with your data

Prism is currently at MVP stage. While we work hard to keep it reliable, some features are still being developed and the service is provided "as is" during this period.

3. User eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use Prism. This is the minimum age for providing consent to the processing of personal data under GDPR in the European Union.

If you are between 13 and 15 years old, you may only use Prism if your parent or guardian provides consent on your behalf. If you are under 13, you may not use Prism under any circumstances.

By creating an account or using Prism, you confirm that you meet these age requirements. If we discover that an account belongs to someone under 16 who does not have parental consent, we will delete the account and all associated data immediately.

4. Account responsibilities

Keeping your credentials secure

Your Prism account is secured by your email and password. Your wallet is additionally protected by a PIN you choose. You are responsible for keeping both secure. Do not share your credentials with anyone. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us at prismprivacy@paulojuri.com immediately.

Accurate information

You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account, particularly your email address. If your email address changes, please update it in your account settings. We may use your email to contact you about your account, security issues, or changes to these terms.

One account per person

Each person may create only one Prism account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits, access other users' data, or for any other abusive purpose is a breach of these terms and may result in all accounts being terminated.

5. Acceptable use policy

You may use Prism only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer or decompile any part of the Prism extension, dashboard, or API, or attempt to extract source code, except to the extent permitted by applicable law
• Attempt to access other users' data : every account's data is isolated by row-level security on our database. Attempting to circumvent this is a serious breach and may constitute a criminal offence under Belgian computer crime legislation (Wet Informaticacriminaliteit)
• Interfere with or disrupt Prism's servers, infrastructure, or any connected networks
• Use Prism for any illegal purpose, including but not limited to unauthorised data collection from third parties, stalking, or surveillance of others
• Misrepresent yourself or impersonate any person or entity
• Use automated scripts or bots to access or interact with the Prism API beyond its intended use
• Attempt to circumvent security measures or exploit vulnerabilities in the service

Prism is a tool for personal data sovereignty, controlling your own data. It must not be used to access, monitor, or collect data about other people without their knowledge and consent.

6. Intellectual property

Prism's intellectual property

The Prism name, logo, product design, software (including the Chrome extension, dashboard, and API), and all related documentation are the intellectual property of Prism and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Prism for your personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these terms. This licence does not include the right to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or sublicense any part of the product.

Your data

7. Data ownership and control

You are the data controller

Under GDPR, for the browsing data collected and stored in your Prism wallet, you are the data controller, you decide what is collected, what is kept, and what is deleted. Prism acts as a data processor operating on your behalf, following your instructions.

For account data (your email address, authentication details), Prism acts as a data controller and our Privacy Policy explains how we handle it.

Your rights over your data

• Export: Download all your data as an encrypted JSON file from the Wallet page at any time
• Delete: Delete individual records, a site's cookie profile, your entire wallet, or your full account, all with immediate effect
• Pause: Stop data collection at any time using the extension toggle, without losing your existing data
• Portability: Take your encrypted data export to any future service that can read it

What happens to your data when you delete your account

When you delete your account, all browsing sessions, cookie profiles, tracker data, AI insights, consent decisions, and wallet content are deleted immediately and irreversibly. Only your consent records are retained for 7 years as required by law. Account deletion cannot be undone.

8. AI assistant disclaimer

Prism's AI assistant is powered by Anthropic's Claude API. It uses anonymised summaries of your browsing data to generate insights, daily briefings, privacy alerts, and conversational responses. We want to be transparent about what it can and cannot do:

Informational only

Everything the AI assistant produces, including insights, advice, recommendations and alerts, is informational only. It is not financial advice, legal advice, medical advice, or professional advice of any kind. Do not make significant financial, legal, health, or life decisions based solely on Prism's AI output.

AI responses may not always be accurate

AI language models can produce responses that are incorrect, incomplete, or out of date. Prism does not guarantee the accuracy of any AI-generated content. Always verify important information from authoritative sources.

No raw data sent to the AI

Prism's servers produce an anonymised, aggregated summary of your data before any call to the Claude API. Your individual URLs, search queries, and identifiable browsing history are never sent to Anthropic. The summary cannot be used to reconstruct your browsing history.

AI decisions

Prism does not use AI to make automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects. The AI is a tool to help you understand your own data, not to evaluate, score, or make decisions about you.

9. Third party websites

Prism identifies trackers, cookies, and data collection practices on websites you visit. This information is provided to help you understand and control your privacy. It does not constitute endorsement, approval, or condemnation of any website.

The presence of a website in Prism's tracker database does not mean that website is doing anything illegal. Many tracking and analytics practices are lawful. The database is there to inform you, not to pass judgement.

Prism is not responsible for the privacy practices, terms, or content of any third-party website. The use of any website you visit through your browser is subject to that website's own terms and privacy policy.

Prism uses the Disconnect.me tracker database, which is open source and published under its own licence. We embed this database locally in the extension and do not maintain it ourselves. We update it periodically but cannot guarantee it reflects the most current state of every tracker on the web.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Service provided "as is"

Prism is provided "as is" and "as available". We are at MVP stage and while we work hard to make the product reliable, we do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that all features will work as described in all browser configurations.

No guarantee of completeness

Prism identifies trackers and cookies using a database and heuristics. This database is not exhaustive. Prism may not detect every tracker on every website. You should not rely on Prism as your only source of privacy protection.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Prism's total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to the use of Prism, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is limited to the greater of:

• The total amount you have paid to Prism in the 12 months before the claim arises, or
• £100 (one hundred pounds sterling)

We are not liable for:

• Loss of data caused by your own deletion or device failure
• Indirect, consequential, special, or punitive damages
• Loss of profit, revenue, or business opportunity
• Decisions you make based on AI-generated content
• The privacy practices of third-party websites you visit

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Prism, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your breach of these terms
• Your violation of any law or third-party rights
• Your use of Prism in a way not permitted by these terms

12. Termination

Termination by you

You can close your Prism account at any time from your account settings. Account deletion is immediate and irreversible. All your browsing data, wallet content, cookie profiles, and AI insights are deleted immediately. Consent records are retained for 7 years as required by law.

Uninstalling the Chrome extension stops data collection but does not delete your account or wallet data. You must explicitly delete your account to remove all data.

Termination by Prism

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms, if we suspect fraudulent or abusive behaviour, or if we are required to do so by law. In non-urgent cases, we will give you at least 30 days' notice and the opportunity to export your data first. In cases of serious breach, immediate suspension may be necessary.

What happens to your data

If Prism terminates your account due to a breach, we will still delete your personal browsing data within 30 days. We are a privacy product. Even in cases of breach, you retain the right to have your browsing data deleted.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Prism grows. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Your continued use of Prism after that date constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

If you do not accept revised terms, you may close your account and export your data before the changes take effect. We will always make it easy to leave.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Belgium. Any disputes arising from or related to these terms will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Belgian courts. If you are a consumer in another EU member state, you also have the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory consumer rights, which cannot be excluded or limited under Belgian or EU consumer protection law.
