• AI outputs are not guaranteed to be accurate. Do not rely on AI-generated content for decisions with significant legal, medical, financial, or safety consequences without independent verification.

We are not liable for any harm arising from AI outputs or automated actions taken by the agent at your direction.

All browsing history, notes, AI conversations, Brain workspace data, and documents stored locally by Aura belong to you. We do not access this data. You are responsible for backing up local data. We are not liable for loss of local data due to device failure, accidental deletion, or software updates.

If you uninstall Aura, local data stored in the app's data directory may be removed depending on your operating system's uninstall behaviour. Export important data before uninstalling.
