+# User Responsibility and Disclaimer

+Last updated: August 10, 2026
+
+## Purpose
+
+Maestro: Agora is a general-purpose writing tool. It helps users create and edit marketing, sales, investment, scientific, technical, editorial, case-study, interface, and spoken content from instructions and material they choose.
+
+Agora is not a content moderator, fact checker, approval system, legal reviewer, or compliance service. It does not determine whether a user's claims, creative choices, attributions, disclosures, or intended uses are appropriate.
+
+## User responsibility
+
+You control the instructions, source material, claims, fictional elements, tone, urgency, attribution, disclosure, publication, and use of every output. You are responsible for reviewing output before relying on it or making it public.
+
+That responsibility includes:
+
+- factual accuracy and completeness;
+- advertising, consumer-protection, securities, intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, and other legal obligations;
+- rights and permissions for source material, names, likenesses, logos, quotations, testimonials, endorsements, voice corpora, and confidential information;
+- required disclosures, qualifications, approvals, and professional review;
+- compliance with the terms, policies, and acceptable-use rules of model providers, hosting platforms, publishers, marketplaces, and other third parties;
+- consequences arising from publication, distribution, reliance, or other use.
+
+Agora can perform claim, evidence, permission, confidentiality, disclosure, diligence, or compliance review when explicitly requested. Such review is automated assistance, not professional advice or a guarantee that content is accurate, lawful, complete, effective, or suitable for a particular purpose.
+
+## No monitoring or approval duty
+
+The project maintainer does not review, approve, monitor, or control what users ask Agora to produce or how users use its output. Availability of a feature or generated result does not constitute approval, endorsement, verification, or legal clearance.
+
+## Third-party services
+
+Agora runs through third-party hosts, model providers, package registries, source hosts, and other services selected by the user. Those services may impose their own terms, policies, restrictions, fees, data practices, and technical limits. The Agora project does not control them.
+
+## No professional advice or guaranteed result
+
+Agora output is not legal, financial, investment, tax, medical, regulatory, or other professional advice. No output guarantees approval, compliance, publication, funding, conversion, ranking, citation, revenue, or any other result.
+
+## License, warranty, and liability
+
+The [MIT License](LICENSE) governs permission to use, copy, modify, distribute, sublicense, and sell the software. This notice does not add use restrictions to that license.
+
+The software is provided "as is," without warranty. The warranty and liability terms in the MIT License apply.

+# Privacy Notice
+
+Last updated: August 10, 2026
+
+## Scope
+
+This notice describes the data behavior of the official Maestro: Agora source code and npm package maintained at [mbanderas/maestro-agora](https://github.com/mbanderas/maestro-agora).
+
+Agora does not operate a hosted writing service, user-account system, analytics service, advertising system, or project-controlled telemetry endpoint.
+
+## Local installation
+
+The Agora installer copies the packaged skill and related files to destinations on your computer that you select. The installer does not send your installed skill files, prompts, drafts, or local documents to the Agora maintainer.
+
+Using `npx` or npm to download Agora contacts the npm registry. npm may process registry, device, account, and network information under the [npm privacy policy](https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/privacy/).
+
+## Prompts and generated content
+
+Agora is a skill that runs inside a host application or model provider selected by the user. That host or provider may process, retain, review, or use prompts, source material, generated content, metadata, and account information under its own terms and privacy policy.
+
+The Agora project does not receive prompts or generated content from those hosts unless a user separately submits that material to the maintainer, such as through a GitHub issue or pull request.
+
+## Voice profiles
+
+The optional `agora-voice` tool processes corpus files locally. By default, it writes profiles and measurements to `~/.agora/voices/`, or to a different local directory selected with `--store`.
+
+Stored profile data can include:
+
+- local source labels or user-supplied URLs;
+- measured writing statistics and recurring vocabulary;
+- selected corpus excerpts used for calibration;
+- register labels, document counts, word counts, timestamps, and profile settings.
+
+These files can contain sensitive or identifiable writing. Users control the corpus, storage location, access, backup, retention, sharing, and deletion of those files.
+
+When a user supplies an HTTP or HTTPS URL as a corpus source, the voice tool fetches that URL from the user's computer. The remote website may receive ordinary request and network information under its own privacy policy. The fetched content and resulting profile are not sent to the Agora maintainer by the tool.
+
+## GitHub interactions
+
+GitHub processes information when users visit the repository, download releases, open issues, create pull requests, or otherwise use GitHub. GitHub's [General Privacy Statement](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement) applies to that processing.
+
+The maintainer may receive and use information a person voluntarily submits through repository interactions to respond, review contributions, investigate bugs, and maintain the project. Public issues and pull requests are public. Do not submit confidential source material, prompts, drafts, voice corpora, credentials, or sensitive personal information through a public repository interaction.
+
+## Retention and deletion
+
+Agora does not maintain a project-operated server containing user prompts, drafts, outputs, or voice profiles.
+
+Users can delete locally stored Agora files and voice profiles using their operating system. Data held by npm, GitHub, a host application, a model provider, a remote website, or another third party is governed by that third party's retention and deletion process.
+
+## Changes and contact
+
+Material changes to this notice will be published in this file with a revised date.
+
+Privacy questions about the Agora project can be directed to the maintainer through the contact methods available on the [maintainer's GitHub profile](https://github.com/mbanderas). Do not post sensitive personal information in a public issue.

 | Version | What changed |
 |---|---|
+| 1.6.0 | Expands user control across every writing mode. User-selected claims, fiction, urgency, attribution, profile use, and publication choices now control the draft. Claim, evidence, permission, disclosure, confidentiality, diligence, and compliance review are opt-in. Adds a user-responsibility disclaimer and an accurate privacy notice. |
 | 1.5.0 | Hardens `INVEST` across fundraising, diligence, and capital allocation. Adds an investment claim ledger, metric separations, asset-specific procedures, decision-led questions, objection handling, defensibility analysis, truthful urgency and commitment language, modifier composition, and current-verification boundaries. Separates real projects from fictional mock and concept-portfolio routes, and permits clearly disclosed invention for mock and hypothetical articles. Adds a customer-language boundary that keeps internal checking terms out of ordinary public copy while preserving them where scientific, methodological, audit, legal, compliance, diligence, or technical work needs them. Expands the blind corpus from 60 to 86 cases. Adds a mandatory public-tree and package hygiene gate that blocks research, transcripts, supplied private documents, raw model outputs, local paths, secrets, unexpected binaries, and private source identities. |
 | 1.4.0 | Adds stronger hero and short-form sales composition plus the composable `SCIENCE` and `CASE_STUDY` capabilities. Heroes now separate truth gates from persuasive optimization and treat the complete first-screen composition as one argument. Scientific and technical work preserves claim class, causality, statistics, uncertainty, analogy limits, and source limits. Case studies add result classes, causality, permissions, confidentiality, role attribution, quote, typicality, and visual-support gates. The blind corpus contains 60 cases. |
 | 1.3.0 | Adds executable `VOICE` profiles, a deterministic measurement engine, admission gates, local profile storage, register-aware checking, and the craft reference. The archived incumbent corpus contains 28 cases. |
