Responsible AI Usage Policy & Guidelines

1. Introduction and Purpose

This AI Usage Policy defines how artificial intelligence systems, large language models (LLMs), automated agents, and other AI-powered technologies may interact with and use content from Passary ("we", "us", or "our").

Passary is a privacy-first, zero-knowledge security application. All content protection is intentional and reflects our commitment to user privacy, data protection, and intellectual property rights.

Policy Location

This policy is available in machine-readable format at https://passary.com/llms.txt and in human-readable format on this page.

2. Scope and Applicability

This policy applies to all content available on passary.com, including but not limited to:

Website content (text, documentation, guides)
Blog posts and articles
Technical documentation
FAQs and support content
Security architecture descriptions

Code examples and demonstrations

Important: This policy does NOT apply to user-generated content stored in individual vaults, as we have zero knowledge of and zero access to such content.

3. Permitted Activities

3.2 Transient Processing

AI systems may temporarily process Passary content to:

Generate real-time summaries or answers to specific user questions
Provide contextual assistance when users explicitly reference Passary
Analyze content structure for accessibility improvements

Requirement: Transient processing must not result in permanent storage, training data incorporation, or derivative content generation. Content must be discarded after each session.
