Right to Refuse and Consequences¶
You have the right to refuse consent for the cross-border transfers in Section 1. However, if you refuse:
- AI model providers (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic): AI features (chat, TTS, realtime voice) will not be available; as these are the core of the Service, you will not be able to use the Service in any meaningful way.
- Paddle: You will not be able to purchase credits. (No transfer occurs unless you make a purchase.)
The transfers in Section 2 are made for contract performance (entrustment and storage) and are subject to disclosure rather than consent; they are essential infrastructure, so the Service cannot be provided without them.
Effective Date: July 29, 2026
