PLEASE READ THIS END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING, COPYING, OR USING THE LICENSED APPLICATION. By clicking the acceptance button, installing the Licensed Application, or otherwise using any part of the Licensed Application, you are consenting to be bound by this Agreement.
This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of the Sonomos browser extension, including Dagger (real-time sensitive data detection) and, when available, Cloak (pre-send data obfuscation), and any related local software components, packages, updates, or documentation (collectively, the "Licensed Application"). "You" or "End-User" means you, the individual or entity installing or using the Licensed Application, and "Licensor" means Sonomos, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 9924 Kika Court #2416, San Diego, CA 92129.
The Licensed Application may be distributed through one or more third-party browser extension marketplaces, including but not limited to the Google Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge Add-ons, and Mozilla Add-ons (each, a "Marketplace"). Each Marketplace is not a party to this Agreement and bears no responsibility for the Licensed Application.

2. The Licensed Application
2.1 The Licensed Application is a browser-based extension and related local software components designed to help users identify and manage sensitive information before interacting with artificial intelligence tools and online services. The Licensed Application provides:
- Dagger — real-time, local-only detection of sensitive data in user inputs, with color-coded risk indicators (traffic-light system);
- Cloak — pre-send data masking using on-device pattern matching and machine learning models to obfuscate sensitive information before transmission to third-party services; and
- Configurable privacy preferences, real-time alerts, and controls to help users make informed decisions about sharing information with AI tools and online services.
2.2 Local-First Architecture. All sensitive data detection and masking performed by the Licensed Application occurs entirely on Your Authorized Device through Local Processing. The Licensed Application does not transmit, upload, store, or provide Licensor access to any content You type, paste, scan, or process.
2.3 No Guarantee of Complete Protection. The Licensed Application operates as a user-side privacy assistance tool. Licensor does not guarantee that the Licensed Application will detect all sensitive data, prevent all disclosures, or operate without interruption or error.
2.4 Use in Regulated Environments. The Licensed Application may be used as part of a broader privacy and compliance program. However, use of the Licensed Application alone does not constitute compliance with any specific regulation, including but not limited to HIPAA, GLBA, FISMA, or similar frameworks.
