2. Service Description

innateo.org is an online platform designed to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration and understanding regarding sexual orientation and identity. We offer:

• A Self-Exploration Quiz to help users reflect on their feelings, attractions, and relationship preferences.
• An AI Support Assistant to provide information and guidance in a supportive conversational environment.

Our Service aims to facilitate personal discovery and self-acceptance through information and guided reflection.

3. User Obligations and Age Restriction

By using our Service, you agree to:

• Use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

• Not attempt to circumvent any limitations or security measures of the Service.
• Not use the Service for any illegal, harmful, or unauthorized purposes, including generating or transmitting content that is offensive, discriminatory, threatening, or harassing.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

All content, features, and functionality of the Service (including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, and software) are the exclusive property of innateo.org or its licensors and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

You may use the Service solely for your personal, non-commercial self-exploration. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on our Service, except as generally permitted through the Service's intended functionality.

5. Privacy and Data Protection

Your privacy is paramount to us. Our data practices are fully outlined in our separate Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you agree to our collection and use of information as described in the Privacy Policy.

Key points regarding your privacy:

• In its current MVP state, the Service is designed to be highly anonymous. We do not require user registration and do not actively collect personal identifying information (PII) from quiz responses or AI chat interactions.
• When using the AI Support Assistant, your conversations are processed by an AI model. While we strive to ensure confidentiality, you should refrain from sharing any personal identifying information (like your real name, address, phone number, specific school, or unique identifying details) within the chat.
• We will not store specific quiz responses or AI chat conversations tied to your identity in our MVP. Aggregated and anonymized data may be used for service improvement, as detailed in our Privacy Policy.

6. Service Availability and Modifications

While we strive to maintain continuous service availability and high performance, we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure access to the Service. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available."

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, or update any aspect of the Service, its features, functionality, or content at any time, with or without notice, at our sole discretion. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Service is unavailable at any time or for any period.

You agree not to use the Service, including the AI Support Assistant, to generate, transmit, or request:

• Content that violates any applicable laws or regulations.
• Hateful, discriminatory, harassing, abusive, or offensive content (based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, etc.).
• Content that infringes upon intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or publicity rights of others.
• Sexually explicit or pornographic content.
• Content intended to harass, abuse, harm, or incite violence against others or oneself.
• Medical, psychological, or diagnostic advice that the AI is not qualified to give.
