Local Operation

ChatSeed continues to operate entirely locally during early access. No additional data collection occurs beyond our standard Privacy Policy provisions.

Community Data

  • Features that may be modified or removed before release

  • Security vulnerabilities under active development

Limited Liability

RevlytIQ LLC's liability for early access participation is limited to the same extent as our Terms of Service. Participants use early access builds at their own risk and should maintain appropriate data backups.
