Terms of Service & Privacy Disclosure

Last updated: June 2026 · Version 1.6

1. Acceptance of Terms

By clicking “I Accept”, installing, or using Outrun AI Copilot (“the Application”, “Software”), you (“User”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) in their entirety. If you do not accept these Terms, click “Decline” — the Application will not launch and no data will be collected.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and getoutrun.app/Outrun (“Company”, “we”, “us”). Use of the Application constitutes acceptance of all terms herein, including all limitations of liability and disclaimers.

1.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use the Application. By accepting these Terms, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

2. Description of the Application

Outrun is a desktop AI copilot application that provides real-time AI-generated assistance during your own conversations, including job interviews, online meetings, sales calls, and negotiations. The Application captures audio from your microphone and system output, transcribes speech in real time, and displays AI-generated responses in a private overlay window rendered locally on your own screen. Like presenter notes, this overlay is designed not to be included in screen shares or recordings, so your notes remain visible only to you.

The Application also provides additional, partly paid (Pro/Basic) features:

• Practice Simulator — a local practice surface where you role-play a difficult conversation against an AI opponent; your scenario inputs and turns are sent to your configured AI provider, and the session is stored locally on your device.
• Prep Agent — call-preparation tooling, including optional web research (OSINT) performed through the native web-search capability of your configured AI provider, and generation of a preparation package (dossier, counter-questions).
• Gamification — optional engagement elements (streaks, achievements, and an optional anonymous leaderboard).

3. User Responsibilities and Acknowledgements

3.1 Sole Responsibility for Use

You acknowledge and agree that:

• You are solely and exclusively responsible for all decisions, consequences, and outcomes resulting from your use of the Application.
• The Company bears no responsibility whatsoever for how you use the Application, including in any professional, contractual, or legal context.

3.2 Professional Integrity

You explicitly acknowledge that:

• Using AI assistance during interviews, meetings, or other evaluations may violate the rules, policies, codes of conduct, or contractual terms of the employer or organization conducting such evaluation.
• It is your sole responsibility to determine whether your use of the Application is permitted under any applicable rules, agreements, or laws.
• The Company makes no representation that use of the Application is permissible in any specific context, and expressly disclaims any responsibility for violations of third-party policies or agreements arising from your use of the Application.
• You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company from any and all claims, damages, penalties, or liabilities arising from your use of the Application in contexts where such use is prohibited.

3.3 Legal Compliance — Recording and Wiretapping Laws

You explicitly acknowledge that:

• The Application captures audio from your microphone and system audio output (loopback), which may include audio of other parties in calls, meetings, or conversations.
• Recording conversations without the consent of all parties may be illegal under applicable laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to wiretapping statutes, two-party consent laws, GDPR, and similar regulations).
• It is your sole responsibility to obtain all necessary consents and to comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws regarding audio recording and interception before using the Application.
• The Company will not be liable for any legal consequences, claims, or penalties arising from your failure to comply with applicable recording laws.

4. Data Collection and Privacy Disclosure

We are committed to transparency. The following is a full disclosure of all data the Application accesses, processes, or transmits.

4.1 Audio Data

The Application captures:

• Microphone audio — your voice from any connected input device you select.
• System loopback audio — all audio playing through your system speakers or headphones, which may include the voices of other people in calls or meetings.

Both audio streams are captured as raw audio data and transmitted in real time over encrypted connections to your selected Speech-to-Text (STT) provider (see Section 4.6). We do not store audio on our servers. Audio is processed transiently and discarded after transcription by the STT provider.

4.2 Screen Data

When you use the screenshot context feature, the Application:

• Captures a full screenshot of your primary monitor.
• Temporarily hides Application overlays before capture.
• Transmits the screenshot image directly to your configured AI language model provider (see Section 4.6).

We do not store screenshots on our servers.

4.3 Device Identification Data

The Application derives a stable, non-reversible device fingerprint from basic, non-personal characteristics of your device (such as your computer’s name and an operating-system-provided machine identifier), solely for license enforcement (seat-limiting). These characteristics are combined and cryptographically hashed locally; only the resulting fingerprint is stored in our backend, associated with your account. The fingerprint cannot be reversed to recover the original values. It is used exclusively to enforce per-seat licensing limits. We do not collect your MAC address.

Session verification. While you are signed in, the Application periodically verifies (approximately once per minute) that your device session is still valid for your account. If your account exceeds its allowed number of concurrent device seats, or your session is invalidated (for example, because you signed in on another device), you may be signed out automatically and prompted to re-authenticate. Transient network errors do not trigger sign-out.

4.4 User-Supplied Content

The Application stores locally on your device:

• CV/resume text and parsed PDF content.
• Job descriptions.
• Knowledge base documents (text and PDF files) you upload.
• User context and meeting notes you type.
• Complete session transcripts (spoken words and AI responses).
• AI-generated question-and-answer pairs.
• Practice Simulator sessions (your scenario configuration and conversation turns).
• Prep Agent dossiers and the research targets you enter (company names, person names, and notes).
• Career profiles and your Master CV.
• Gamification progress (streaks, achievements).

This content is stored in a local database on your device. Selected portions of this content (e.g., relevant knowledge base excerpts, CV text, user context) are transmitted to your configured AI provider as part of prompts.

Free onboarding CV diagnostic. During onboarding, the Application offers a one-time free career-funnel diagnosis. For this single diagnosis only, your CV text and your onboarding self-report are transmitted once to Outrun’s backend, which runs the analysis using an AI key provided by Outrun. Your CV is processed transiently for this request and is not stored on our backend. All subsequent analyses run through your own configured AI provider key under the BYOK model (see Section 4.6) and remain local to your device.

4.5 Authentication and Account Data

• Your authentication is handled by our backend authentication service, with optional Google OAuth.
• Your session and its refresh token are stored locally on your device, in the Application’s local storage. They are not transmitted to any party other than our authentication service for the purpose of maintaining your session.
• Your account identifier and subscription tier are cached in the Application’s local storage.
• Account data, subscription status, and device registrations are stored in our backend.
• Payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors. We do not store payment card details; all billing data is managed by the respective payment processor. The specific processors currently in use are listed in our in-app help / FAQ and may change over time.
• Refunds and cancellation. Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. You may cancel your subscription at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until that period ends.
• Changes to plans, pricing, and features. The Company reserves the right to revise the composition of subscription plans, their pricing, and the set of included features at any time and without prior notice. Such changes are applied by way of migration: any period you have already paid for is honored on its existing terms until that period ends, and the new terms take effect upon your next renewal. Continued use after renewal constitutes acceptance of the updated plan and pricing.

4.6 Third-Party AI and STT Providers (Bring Your Own Key)

The Application is designed as a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) system. You configure and supply your own API keys for AI language model (LLM) and Speech-to-Text (STT) providers. Your API keys are stored only in the Application’s local storage on your device.

When you use the Application, the following data is transmitted to the providers you configure:

The following providers may be used depending on your configuration:

LLM Providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Mistral, Cohere, Groq, Perplexity, OpenRouter, Ollama (local), LM Studio (local).

STT Providers: Soniox, AssemblyAI, ElevenLabs.

When the translation feature is enabled, detected speech segments (which may include the speech of other parties) are sent to your configured LLM provider for translation.

You are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with the terms of service and privacy policies of all third-party providers you configure. The Company is not responsible for how third-party providers handle data transmitted to them.

4.7 Embedding Model Download

If you use the Knowledge Base (RAG) feature, the Application downloads the IBM Granite Embedding 311M model (~1.56 GB) from HuggingFace. This model runs entirely on your device; your documents are never sent to HuggingFace.

4.8 Automatic Updates

The Application checks for updates at launch from our update server. No personal data is transmitted during update checks. Update packages are cryptographically signed, and each signature is verified against a key embedded in the Application before any update is installed.

4.9 Our Backend Services

We operate a managed cloud backend for:

• User authentication and account management.
• Subscription and licensing management.
• Device session registration (device fingerprints only).
• Delivery of encrypted application configuration.
• A real-time connection used to receive live updates to your subscription and license status.

We do not log, store, or have access to: your audio, your transcripts, your AI conversations, your CV, your knowledge base documents, or your AI provider API keys.

4.10 Optional Anonymous Usage Analytics

The Application can send anonymous, aggregated usage events — which features are started/completed/blocked, live-session and practice-simulation activity, engagement milestones, and basic app/configuration context (such as app version, operating system, interface language, and subscription tier) — to Aptabase, a privacy-first analytics service, to help us improve the product.

• This is enabled by default but fully optional (opt-out). You can turn it off at any time in Settings → Appearance → Anonymous usage analytics; once off, nothing is transmitted.
• For full transparency, only the following fixed allowlist is ever sent:
  • Event names: app_started, feature_started, feature_completed, feature_failed, feature_blocked, diagnosis_run, application_created, session_started, session_ended, checkout_created, sim_started, sim_scored, sim_abandoned, achievement_unlocked, streak_milestone, leaderboard_opt_in.
  • Event fields (primitive values only): version, os, feature, duration_ms, outcome, error_code, tier, access_mode, mode, language, stealth, recorder, locale, theme, reason, provider, plan, answers, translations, screenshots, scenario_type, turns, score_band, achievement_id, streak_days, enabled.
• Any event name or field outside this allowlist is dropped before transmission, so unreviewed data can never be sent.
• We never include personal or content data in these events. Specifically excluded: audio, transcripts, AI conversations, CV text, knowledge base content, company or vacancy names, and API keys.
• No cookies or cross-site identifiers are used.

4.11 Web Research (OSINT) in Prep Agent

When you enable web research in the Prep Agent, the company names, person names, and notes you enter as research targets are transmitted to your configured AI provider, which performs a search of publicly available sources on the internet using its native web-search capability. Outrun does not proxy these requests through its own servers and does not store the search results on its servers; the resulting dossier is stored only locally on your device.

• The provider that receives this data is the one you configured (currently Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Google Gemini, depending on your selection).
• The returned web content is treated strictly as untrusted data and is never executed as instructions.
• You are solely responsible for ensuring that gathering information about third parties is lawful in your jurisdiction (including under the GDPR and similar privacy laws) and complies with the terms of your AI provider.

4.12 Optional Anonymous Leaderboard

The Application includes optional gamification. Streaks and achievements are computed and stored locally on your device. If you voluntarily opt in to the leaderboard, a limited set of pseudonymous data is transmitted to our backend:

• Your chosen nickname, a generalized role category (division), your current streak, and your weekly XP score.

This is opt-in. Nicknames must not contain personal data, and a name filter rejects disallowed values. We never transmit session content, transcripts, CV text, knowledge base content, research targets, or company names to the leaderboard. You may leave the leaderboard at any time.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

• Local data (transcripts, sessions, knowledge base, CV profiles): stored on your device indefinitely until you delete it within the Application or uninstall.
• Account data (in our backend): retained while your account is active. You may request deletion by contacting support.
• Device fingerprints: retained for the duration of active device registrations under your account.
• Audio: not retained by the Company. Retention by STT providers is governed by their respective privacy policies.
• Screenshots: not retained by the Company. Retention by LLM providers is governed by their respective privacy policies.

5.1 Your Data Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the EU/EEA under the GDPR), you may have the following rights regarding personal data we hold:

• Access — to know what account data we store about you (described in Section 4) and where it is held.
• Portability / Export — you can export your local data (sessions, career profiles, and knowledge base) at any time via Settings → Data, in machine-readable JSON format. The same screen also lets you re-import this data.
• Erasure — you may request deletion of your account data by contacting support. After we verify your identity, we will delete your associated account data within a reasonable period as required by applicable law. Local data on your device is deleted by you at any time within the Application or by uninstalling.

5.2 Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we process data on the following bases: performance of a contract (account, subscription, and license management), consent (optional anonymous usage analytics, which you may withdraw at any time), and legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, and per-seat license enforcement).

6. No Warranties

THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6.1 Real-Time and AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

AI language models are probabilistic and may produce output that is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, fabricated (“hallucinated”), or inappropriate, including during live, time-sensitive use such as real-time interviews, meetings, or calls (e.g., Universal Copilot). You further acknowledge that the Application depends on third-party AI/STT providers and network connectivity, and that any feature may fail, degrade, stall, be delayed, or become unavailable at any moment, including in the middle of a live session, with no guarantee of timeliness or availability. You must independently verify all AI-generated content before relying on it, and you assume all risk arising from any error, omission, delay, or unavailability. The Company is not liable for any decision, statement, or outcome based on AI-generated content or on the availability or behavior of any feature during a live session.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

THE COMPANY, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

10. Intellectual Property, Anti-Reverse-Engineering, and Termination

10.1 Ownership

The Application, including its source code, object code, user interface, prompts, AI orchestration logic, scoring and persona models, data structures, and underlying business logic, is the confidential and proprietary property of the Company and is protected by intellectual property laws. No rights are granted to you other than a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Application in accordance with these Terms.

10.2 Prohibition on Reverse Engineering and Logic Extraction

Except to the extent this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable mandatory law, you agree not to:

• Decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, prompts, algorithms, or business logic of the Application.
• Extract, reconstruct, copy, or reproduce the Application’s prompts, orchestration, scoring logic, or any other proprietary component, including by intercepting, inspecting, or analyzing its internal network traffic for the purpose of reconstructing how the Application works.
• Use the Application, or any data or output derived from it, to build, train, or improve a competing product, or to perform competitive benchmarking on behalf of, or for the benefit of, a competitor.

Prompt confidentiality under BYOK. The Application’s prompts, system instructions, and orchestration templates are confidential trade secrets of the Company. The fact that, under the Bring-Your-Own-Key model, these prompts are transmitted to your configured AI provider and may be visible to you in that provider’s logs, dashboards, or API responses, does not grant you any license to them. You agree not to copy, store, reuse, publish, redistribute, or otherwise exploit any Application prompt, instruction, or template observed in this manner for any purpose outside of normal use of the Application — including, without limitation, to build, train, fine-tune, or operate any product or service, or to assist any third party in doing so. Such prompts remain the exclusive property of the Company at all times.

10.3 Termination for Cause — No Refund

The Company may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, suspend or permanently terminate your license and ban your account upon any breach of these Terms — and in particular any violation of Section 9 or Section 10.2 — without any refund of fees already paid, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity.

10.4 Survival

Sections concerning intellectual property (Section 10.1–10.2), indemnification (Section 8), no warranties (Section 6), limitation of liability (Section 7), and governing law (Section 12) survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.

11. Changes to Terms

The Company reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via an in-app notification. Continued use of the Application after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the jurisdiction applicable to the Company’s place of incorporation.
