1. Introduction

These Terms govern your use of the Bless Chrome Extension (“Extension”), provided by Bless Data (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By installing or using the Extension, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Extension.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 where required by law) and legally able to enter into binding agreements.

3. Description of the Extension

The Extension allows users to earn rewards in exchange for allowing local data processing on their device. The Extension:

• Collects certain usage, browsing, and interaction data locally on the user’s device.
• Processes and aggregates this data locally.
• Generates anonymized analytics that may be transmitted to the Company.
• Awards Bless Points for participation. The Extension is not intended to collect, upload, or store Protected Health Information (“PHI”) as defined under HIPAA.

4. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Use the Extension lawfully.
• Follow Chrome Web Store and AI platform policies.
• Not tamper with, reverse engineer, or misuse the Extension.
• Remain responsible for activity on your accounts.

5. Data Collection and Local Processing

All raw personal data—including URLs, page titles, metadata, timestamps, AI prompts and responses, automated prompt interactions, and device-level technical data—is processed exclusively on your device and never transmitted to Company servers. Only anonymized, aggregated analytics—anonymized to industry standards—may be transmitted.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

We process data under the following GDPR legal bases:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): for telemetry, browsing data, AI interactions, and automated prompt tests.
• Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)): to operate the Extension and award Bless Points.
• Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): to ensure security, prevent abuse, and improve services. Once anonymized, aggregated analytics are no longer personal data.

7. Automated Actions Authorization

With explicit consent, the Extension may submit automated prompts to AI systems (any application, service, or platform that generates or processes natural-language input or output using machine-learning models, including but not limited to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Sparkle, and Rufus.) and collect resulting outputs. These actions:

• Are used solely for AI-related research.
• Can be withdrawn at any time via the Extension toggle.
• Have no legal or significant effect on users.
• Are fully reversible.

8. User Consent and Withdrawal

By using the Extension, you consent to data processing described herein. Consent may be withdrawn at any time via:

• An in-extension toggle disabling all data processing.
• Uninstallation of the Extension. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.

9. Data Subject Rights (GDPR)

You have the following rights:

• Access your personal data.
• Rectify inaccurate data.
• Request erasure (“right to be forgotten”).
• Restrict processing.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
• Data portability.
• Withdraw consent at any time.
• Not be subject to automated decision-making producing legal or significant effects. Requests must be submitted to legal@txlabs.org and will receive a response within 30 days.

10. Commercial Use of Aggregated Insights

We may analyze anonymized data to generate aggregated insights for purposes including market research and business intelligence. These outputs:

• Contain no personal data.
• Cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual.
• Are retained indefinitely.

11. Purpose Limitation

Personal data is processed only for:

• Operating the Extension.
• Awarding Bless Points.
• Conducting AI-related research.
• Improving service performance.
• Generating anonymized insights.
• Security, fraud prevention, and abuse detection. No additional processing occurs without new consent.

12. Data Transfers Outside the EEA

If anonymized analytics are transferred internationally, such transfers:

• Rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
• Use encryption, access minimization, and other safeguards. Personal data is never transmitted outside the user’s device.

13. Data Retention

• Raw data: never transmitted, never retained server-side.
• Aggregated anonymized analytics: retained indefinitely.
• Users may request deletion of local data stored by the Extension.

14. Security Measures

We implement technical and organizational measures including:

• Encryption of analytics in transit.
• Local-only raw data processing.
• Access controls.
• Regular internal assessments.
• Data minimization practices.

15. Feedback

Any feedback you provide grants us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use it.

16. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access for violations or operational reasons. You may terminate use at any time by uninstalling the Extension. Relevant sections survive termination.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Extension is provided “as is.” No warranties are made regarding accuracy, reliability, or uninterrupted operation.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Extension (if any).

19. Modifications

We may revise these Terms. Continued use after notification constitutes acceptance.

20. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
