Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
A8 labs LLC, a Florida limited liability company("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the software applications, websites, APIs, and related services made available under the trade names GhostApp, GhostApp 6.0, TsarChat, Tsar Chat, Tsar App, Tsar Coder, BoChat, tsarchat.com(collectively, the "Service"), including the website tsarchat.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account Information
When you create an account we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials provided through Google sign‐in or email/password registration via Firebase Authentication.
2.2 Payment Information
We use Stripe as our payment processor. When you subscribe to a paid plan, your payment card details are collected and processed directly by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number on our servers. We retain only the information Stripe provides to us, such as the last four digits of your card, card brand, expiration date, and billing address.
2.3 Device Information
To enforce per‐user device limits we collect a device identifier, operating system type, and a periodic heartbeat signal. Device identifiers are derived locally and do not contain personally identifiable hardware serial numbers.
2.4 Usage & Analytics Data
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data such as pages visited, session duration, and referral source. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
2.5 Data Processed Locally (BYOK)
Screen captures, audio captured, and any text inputs used by the Service's desktop applications are processed locally on your device. Under our Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) model, this data is sent directly from your device to the third‐party LLM provider whose API key you have provided (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Groq). This data is never transmitted to or stored on A8 labs LLC, a Florida limited liability company servers. We have no access to your API keys, prompts, or the generated outputs.
2.6 Legal-Acceptance Audit Log
When you create an account or initiate a paid subscription, we record evidence of your acceptance of these legal terms. This includes a timestamp, the version identifier of the Terms in effect at the time of acceptance, your user-agent string, and a hashed or truncated form of your IP address. This record exists solely to evidence your agreement and to defend against disputes; it is not used for marketing, profiling, or any other purpose.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To create and manage your account.
- To process payments and manage subscriptions.
- To enforce device limits under your subscription plan.
- To send transactional emails (receipts, password resets, account alerts).
- To improve, maintain, and monitor the performance of the Service.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
- To prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms or applicable law.
4. Third-Party Service Providers
We share information only with the following categories of providers, solely for the purposes described:
- Firebase (Google Cloud) — authentication, database, and hosting.
- Stripe — payment processing and subscription management.
- Google Analytics — anonymized website usage analytics.
- LLM Providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Groq, and any others you configure) — your prompts and screen/audio context are sent directly from your device to the provider you choose using your own API key (BYOK). We do not intermediate or store this data.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, tax and accounting compliance, or maintaining legal-acceptance audit logs in defense of disputes).
6. Data Security
We implement industry‐standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest, secure credential storage via OS‐level keychains, and access‐controlled cloud infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your General Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Receive a copy of your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent).
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at help@tsarchat.com. We will respond within 45 days (extendable by 45 additional days where reasonably necessary, with notice).
8. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, "CCPA"), gives you the rights described in this section.

- Internet or network activity — pages visited, referral source, session duration, IP address (hashed or truncated).
- Inferences — none drawn for profiling.
- Sensitive personal information — account credentials (in hashed form via Firebase Authentication). We do not collect government IDs, financial-account numbers, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, union membership, genetic or biometric data, health data, or sex-life data.
8.2 Sources
Directly from you (account creation, support requests); from your device (analytics, device heartbeat); from Stripe (payment metadata); from Firebase (authentication tokens).
8.3 Business Purposes
Providing the Service, account management, billing, fraud prevention, security, legal compliance, customer support, transactional communications, and improving the Service.
8.4 Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have not sold or shared personal information in the preceding 12 months.
8.5 Your CCPA Rights

- Right to delete personal information we have collected, subject to legal exceptions.
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Right to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share, but you may still submit this request).
- Right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.
- Right to non-discrimination — we will not deny you the Service, charge a different price, or provide a different level or quality of service because you exercised any CCPA right.
8.6 Submitting a Request / Authorized Agent
Submit any CCPA request by emailing help@tsarchat.com with the subject line "California Privacy Request." We will verify your request using the email associated with your account or by other reasonable means. You may designate an authorized agent to act on your behalf by providing the agent with written, signed authorization; we may require you to verify your identity and confirm the authorization directly.
8.7 Shine the Light
California Civil Code §1798.83 permits California residents to request, once per year, information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for direct-marketing purposes. We do not make such disclosures.
9. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of states with comprehensive consumer-privacy laws — including Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), Utah (UCPA), Texas (TDPSA), Oregon (OCPA), Montana (MCDPA), Delaware (DPDPA), New Hampshire (NHDPA), New Jersey (NJDPA), Maryland (MD ODPA), Iowa (ICDPA), and others as those laws come into effect — have rights similar to those described in §8: rights to access, correct, delete, opt out of targeted advertising / sale / profiling, and appeal denials of such requests. To exercise any state-law privacy right, contact help@tsarchat.com. If we deny a request, you may appeal by replying to our denial; if we deny the appeal, you may contact your state Attorney General.
10. EU / UK Data Subject Rights (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (or its UK equivalent) grants you rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making with legal effect (we do not engage in such automated decision-making). Our legal bases for processing are: (i) performance of the contract with you; (ii) compliance with a legal obligation; (iii) our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service; and (iv) your consent where required.
To exercise any data-subject right, contact help@tsarchat.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
11. International Data Transfers
We are based in the United States and process data on U.S. infrastructure (Firebase / Google Cloud, Stripe). If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms for cross-border transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland.
12. Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control
Most browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal that has no uniform standard, so we do not respond to it. We do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out request under the CCPA where applicable.
13. Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal-data breach affecting your information, we will notify you and the appropriate regulatory authorities without undue delay and in line with applicable federal, state, and international law.
14. Biometric Information
The desktop applications may capture audio (microphone or system audio) and screen contents in the course of the Service's BYOK-routed analysis. We do notextract, generate, store, or transmit voiceprints, faceprints, retinal scans, hand geometry, gait, or any other biometric identifiers from such captures. We do not engage in any practice that would constitute the collection of "biometric information" under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act, the Washington biometric-identifiers act, or comparable laws of other jurisdictions.
15. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has used the Service may contact help@tsarchat.com.
17. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Terms of Service
1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and A8 labs LLC, a Florida limited liability company("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

If you do not agree to ALL of these Terms, you are expressly prohibited from using the Service and must discontinue use immediately.

The Service is not intended for use by anyone under 18.
3. Account Registration & Security
You are solely responsible for the security of your account credentials, including your password, two-factor authentication factors, session tokens, and any API keys you configure. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or suspected compromise. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it. One person, one account: you may not share your account, sublicense access, or permit any other person to use the Service through your credentials.
4. License Grant
Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms and payment of all applicable fees, A8 labs LLC grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and personal license to access and use the Service for your own lawful purposes during the term of your subscription or trial. We retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service that are not expressly granted to you in these Terms. No rights are granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
5. Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK)
The Service operates on a "Bring Your Own Keys" (BYOK) model. To utilize the AI features of the Service, you must provide your own valid API keys from third-party Large Language Model (LLM) providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Groq).
- Responsibility for API Keys: You are solely responsible for the security, confidentiality, and management of your API keys. We do not store, transmit, or have access to your API keys on our servers.
- Financial Liability: You are exclusively responsible for all costs, charges, and fees incurred on your third-party LLM provider accounts resulting from the use of the Service. A8 labs LLC shall not be liable for any API costs, unexpected usage spikes, rate limits, or account suspensions.
- Third-Party Compliance: You agree to comply fully with the terms of service, acceptable-use policies, and privacy policies of any third-party LLM provider whose API keys you integrate with the Service. We are not party to those agreements.
6. Strict Requirement for Legal Purpose Only
You explicitly agree to use the Service ONLY for lawful and legal purposes. The Service must not be used to engage in, facilitate, or promote any illegal, fraudulent, unauthorized, or malicious activity.

Refunds, where available, are governed by our Refund Policy.
12. AI Output Disclaimer & No Professional Advice

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, including (without limitation) where we believe you have violated these Terms, where we are required to do so by law, where continued provision of the Service to you presents a risk to A8 labs LLC or to other users, or for any other reason. We may also terminate or modify the Service generally with reasonable notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (see §32).

We make no commitment that beta features will become generally available or that data created while using a beta feature will be preserved.
15. Third-Party Services & Links
The Service interoperates with, and may link to, third-party services (LLM providers, payment processors, analytics, OS-level components, app marketplaces, etc.). We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, terms, privacy practices, availability, or security. Your use of any third-party service is governed solely by your agreement with that third party.

If the dispute is not resolved during the informal-resolution period, all disputes, claims, and controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or the relationship between you and A8 labs LLC shall be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced. The arbitration shall be seated in Florida, United States, and may be conducted by phone, video, or written submissions where AAA rules permit. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of Florida and shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or part of this agreement is void or voidable; provided, however, that questions of arbitrability of mass or class claims (see §26.6) are for a court, not the arbitrator.
26.4 Carve-outs.Notwithstanding §26.3, either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court of competent jurisdiction in the claimant's county of residence, provided the claim remains in that court on an individual basis; and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual-property rights or to enforce confidentiality obligations.
26.5 Class-Action and Representative-Action Waiver. You and A8 labs LLCagree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent you have a right to act as a private attorney general (e.g., under California's Private Attorneys General Act), that right is waived to the maximum extent permitted by law.
26.6 Mass-Filing / Batch Arbitration. If twenty (20) or more demands for arbitration are filed against A8 labs LLCthat raise substantially similar claims and are represented by the same or coordinated counsel (a "Mass Filing"), the demands shall be administered in sequential batches of no more than fifty (50), and AAA fees and arbitrator selection shall be coordinated across the batch. A8 labs LLC and the claimants will work in good faith with the AAA to implement an efficient batch process and to avoid duplicative proceedings and fees. The Mass-Filing provisions of this paragraph are themselves committed to a court (not the arbitrator) for interpretation and enforcement.
26.7 Opt-Out Right. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a signed written notice to A8 labs LLC, Attn: Legal Notices, [REGISTERED AGENT ADDRESS — see Florida Sunbiz filing], Florida, USA, postmarked or delivered within 30 days of the date you first accepted these Terms (or, if you are a current user as of the effective date of this version, within 30 days of that effective date). The notice must state your full name, the email on your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out has no effect on any other provision of these Terms. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved as provided in §26.8.
26.8 Forum if Arbitration Does Not Apply. If you opt out under §26.7, or if any portion of §26 is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Florida, and you and A8 labs LLC irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
26.9 California Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §26, where you are a California resident and California law affords you a right that cannot lawfully be waived (including, without limitation, certain public-injunction rights under McGill v. Citibank, 2 Cal. 5th 945 (2017)), nothing in this §26 shall be construed to waive that right; the unwaivable claim shall be brought in court, and the remainder of §26 shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all other claims.
26.10 Severability of Arbitration Terms. If any provision of this §26 (other than the Class-Action Waiver in §26.5) is held unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remainder of §26 shall continue in full force and effect. If the Class-Action Waiver in §26.5 is held unenforceable as to any claim, that claim shall be severed and brought in court while all other claims continue in arbitration.
27. Equitable Relief
You acknowledge that a breach of §§ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, or 18 may cause A8 labs LLC irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate. A8 labs LLC may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the requirement of posting bond or proving actual damages, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
28. Force Majeure
A8 labs LLC is not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, government action, pandemic, fire, flood, power or telecommunications outages, denial-of-service attacks, third-party failures (including LLM-provider, payment-processor, or cloud outages), or changes in law.
29. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to render it enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent to the maximum extent permitted by law.
30. No Waiver
No failure or delay by A8 labs LLC in exercising any right under these Terms is a waiver of that right; no single or partial exercise of any right precludes any other or further exercise; and no waiver of any provision is effective unless in a writing signed by an authorized representative of A8 labs LLC.
31. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this section is void. A8 labs LLC may assign these Terms in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, without your consent.
32. Survival
The following sections survive any termination of these Terms or your account: §§ 5 (BYOK financial responsibility), 7 (Recording laws), 8 (Third-party rules), 9 (Authorized use), 16 (Feedback license), 17 (IP), 22 (Assumption of risk), 23 (Disclaimer of warranties), 24 (Limitation of liability), 25 (Indemnification), 26 (Arbitration & class waiver), 27 (Equitable relief), and any other provision that by its nature should survive.
33. Notices

You must give legal notice to A8 labs LLC by email to help@tsarchat.com AND by mail to A8 labs LLC, Attn: Legal Notices, [REGISTERED AGENT ADDRESS — see Florida Sunbiz filing], Florida, USA. Notices required to opt out of arbitration (§26.7) and to commence the pre-arbitration informal-resolution period (§26.2) must be sent by mail to that address; email-only notice is not sufficient for those purposes.
34. Modifications to These Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the Legal page reflects the date of the most recent change. For material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice (e.g., by email or by an in-Service banner). Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modification constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service before the effective date.
35. Entire Agreement
These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement between you and A8 labs LLC concerning the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether electronic, oral, or written. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.

Refund Policy
1. Overview
A8 labs LLC, a Florida limited liability company("Company," "we," "us," or "our") wants you to be satisfied with the Service. Because the Service is a digital software product delivered immediately upon purchase, all sales are generally final. However, we offer the limited refund accommodations described below.
2. Subscription Plans
Weekly Plan ($29/week)
Due to the short billing cycle, weekly subscriptions are non‐refundable. You may cancel at any time and your access will continue through the end of the current billing week.
Monthly Plan ($69/month)
You may request a refund within 48 hours of your initial subscription purchase if you have not substantially used the Service during that period. Renewal charges are non‐refundable. To avoid future charges, cancel before your renewal date.
Lifetime Plan ($249 one‐time)
You may request a refund within 72 hours of purchase if you have not substantially used the Service during that period. After 72 hours, lifetime purchases are non‐refundable.
3. What Qualifies as "Substantial Use"
A subscription is considered substantially used if any of the following apply:
- The desktop application has been downloaded and activated on a device.
- LLM queries have been made through the Service.
- Audio or screen capture features have been used.
We reserve the right to verify usage before processing any refund.
4. How to Request a Refund
To request a refund, email us at help@tsarchat.com with:
- Your account email address.
- The date of purchase.
- Your subscription plan.
- The reason for your refund request.
We will review your request and respond within 5 business days. Approved refunds are processed through Stripe and typically appear on your statement within 5–10 business days.
5. Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or credit-card provider instead of contacting us first, we reserve the right to immediately suspend your account and contest the chargeback. We encourage you to contact us directly at help@tsarchat.com to resolve any billing concerns before filing a dispute.
6. Cancellation vs. Refund
Cancellation and refunds are separate actions. Cancelling your subscription stops future billing but does not entitle you to a refund of the current billing period. You will continue to have access to the Service until the end of your current paid period. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account dashboard.
7. Exceptions
We may, at our sole discretion, offer a full or partial refund outside the windows described above in cases of:
- A verified technical issue on our end that prevented you from using the Service.
- Duplicate or erroneous charges caused by a billing error.
These exceptions are evaluated on a case‐by‐case basis and are not guaranteed.
8. App Store / Play Store / Microsoft Store Purchases
If you purchased a subscription or any in-app product through a third-party app marketplace (such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Microsoft Store), refund requests must be submitted through that marketplace in accordance with its rules and timelines. A8 labs LLC cannot directly refund a purchase processed by another platform. Examples of platform rules at the time of writing (which may change):
- Apple App Store: Refund requests via reportaproblem.apple.com within Apple's reporting window.
- Google Play: Auto-eligible refunds for purchases made within the previous 48 hours via the Play Store; later requests are handled by Google.
- Microsoft Store:Refund requests via your Microsoft account order history per Microsoft's policy.
9. Sales Tax / VAT / GST
Where any sales tax, value-added tax (VAT), goods-and-services tax (GST), or similar government-imposed tax is collected by A8 labs LLC, by Stripe, or by an app-marketplace platform, the tax portion of the purchase is generally not refundable except as required by the relevant taxing authority.
10. Statutory Rights
Nothing in this Refund Policy limits, restricts, or waives any right that you have as a consumer under applicable law that cannot lawfully be waived. For example, where applicable, EU and UK consumers may have a statutory right of withdrawal within 14 days of purchase, subject to certain exceptions; California subscribers retain rights under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17600 et seq.; and other jurisdictions may afford analogous protections.
