Privacy, terms & acceptable use.
Plain-language placeholders covering how OAP handles information and the responsibilities of using the platform. Replace these with counsel-reviewed policies before you go public.
Attorney review required. The policies below are a good-faith starting draft written to fit OAP's business. They are not legal advice and must be reviewed and finalized by a licensed attorney before oapsoftware.com is published. Items flagged “[Review]” need counsel's specific attention.
These policies govern the website at oapsoftware.com and the OSINT App Platform (the “Platform”), operated by OAP Software & Development LLC, a limited liability company organized in the State of Arizona, United States (“OAP,” “we,” “us”). Last updated: 2026. [Review effective date.]
Privacy
OAP respects the privacy of its users and of the subjects of lawful intelligence work. Information we collect: account and contact details you provide, billing information needed to process a subscription, the case content you choose to process, and limited technical and usage data needed to operate and secure the Platform.
How we use it: to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Platform; to communicate with you about your account; and to meet legal obligations. Your case content belongs to you. We do not sell personal information. The Platform is designed to run with minimal external dependency, and under self-hosted or air-gapped deployments your sensitive case data can remain entirely within your own environment.
Sharing & processors: we share information only with service providers acting on our behalf, where you direct it (for example, third-party data sources or models you enable with your own keys), or where required by law. Retention: we keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. Your rights: depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information; contact us to exercise them. [Review for GDPR/CCPA applicability and any required disclosures.]
Terms of use
Access to the Platform is provided under a separate subscription or order agreement between you (or your organization) and OAP. These Terms supplement that agreement; if they conflict, the signed agreement controls. By accessing the website or Platform you agree to these Terms.
License. Subject to your agreement and these Terms, OAP grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Platform for your internal, lawful purposes. You may not copy, reverse engineer, decompile, attempt to derive the underlying methods of, resell, or sublicense the Platform except as expressly permitted.
Intellectual property. The Platform, its underlying analytic methods and doctrine, and all related intellectual property are owned by OAP or its licensor and are protected as trade secrets and by pending and issued patents and other rights. No rights are granted except as expressly stated. [Review IP-ownership / holding-company licensing language.]
Your responsibility. The Platform is a tool that supports analysis. All judgments, decisions, and actions taken on the basis of its output remain the sole responsibility of you and your organization. You are responsible for holding the authorization appropriate to each matter you run and for your use of any third-party sources or models you enable.
Disclaimer of warranties. The website and Platform are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. OAP does not warrant that output will be complete, accurate, or error-free, or that the Platform will be uninterrupted or secure. [Review for your jurisdiction.]
Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, OAP and its members, officers, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business, arising out of or relating to the website or Platform. OAP's total aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the amounts you paid to OAP for the Platform in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. [Review cap and carve-outs with counsel.]
Indemnification, governing law & changes. You agree to indemnify OAP against claims arising from your misuse of the Platform or breach of these Terms. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. We may update these Terms from time to time; material changes will be posted here. [Review venue, arbitration, and indemnity scope.]
Acceptable use
The Platform is intended solely for lawful, authorized open-source intelligence, due-diligence, research, and security work. You represent that you hold the appropriate legal authorization for every matter you run on the Platform.
You must not use the Platform to: attempt unauthorized access to any system, account, or non-public data; harass, stalk, endanger, or unlawfully surveil any individual; violate any person's privacy or legal rights, or any applicable law, regulation, or court order; circumvent technical or legal protections; or process data in any way prohibited by the terms of the underlying sources.
You must respect redactions, source terms of service, sanctions and export controls, and the privacy and legal rights of the people and organizations you study. OAP may suspend or terminate access for any violation, and may be required to cooperate with lawful requests from authorities. [Review against applicable surveillance, privacy, and export-control law.]
