Exhibit A · Terms of Service · verbatim

By default, we do not use your User Content, Output, browser context, browsing history, password manager data, or files to train AI models. For providers that support it, we configure third-party AI model providers with zero-data-retention, no-training, or equivalent settings for data processed through the Services.

How to read this page: Overall risk rates what Aside's own policy terms mean for your prompts, outputs, and data. The benchmark bands below grade those same verified terms relative to peers — a platform in a risky-by-default category can rate HIGH risk and still grade STRONG against its peer set. Both trace to the cited findings.

Clause detail — protections, your obligations, and coverage

Every clause below is a verbatim quote from Aside's own published policy, read in full and linked to its exact location. Protections and user obligations are reported separately from risk because they are different kinds of clause — an obligation on you is not a risk to your data. Informational only, not legal advice.

✅ Protections found

0 verified clauses

Clauses in Aside's policies that work in your favour — commitments the platform made to you.

No protective clause has been verified in Aside's published policies yet. That means we did not find one in the documents we read — not that the platform offers nothing.

📋 Rules you must follow

0 verified clauses

What Aside requires of YOU. These are your obligations, not risks to your data or IP, so they are cited here and excluded from this platform's risk rating.

No user-conduct rule has been verified in Aside's published policies yet.

None of Aside's verified clauses has been assigned a topic yet. The clause-trust review has not reached this platform's findings.

Cross-clause notes

Cross-reference

Two verified clauses intersect on the same subject matter: the policy document, § 14 (Suspension and Termination) addresses how long content is retained, and the policy document, § 6 (User Content and Output) addresses use of content in connection with model training or service improvement. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.
