Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using Voidly, you agree to these terms. Voidly is operated by Ai Analytics LLC, a Texas limited liability company. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

Beta Software: This is experimental research software. It may break, have bugs, and hasn't been audited by third parties. For proven privacy, use Tor Browser.

2. What Voidly Is

Voidly is a network intelligence platform that provides privacy tools, encrypted relay infrastructure, and open censorship intelligence.

This is not:

  • A commercial product
  • A guaranteed service (no SLA)
  • A replacement for Tor (we're not anonymous)
  • A way to hide illegal activity

This is:

  • Research contribution model (use tools, contribute anonymous data)
  • Free-to-use tools and open data (CC BY 4.0)
  • Privacy-focused (end-to-end encryption, no browsing logs)
  • Open data (CC BY 4.0 licensed censorship intelligence)
  • In active development (expect changes)

3. Research Contribution Model

Voidly operates as a censorship research project.

The value exchange:

  • You get: VPN, encrypted email, censorship intelligence tools
  • We get: Anonymous performance metrics to improve censorship measurement
  • World gets: Public censorship intelligence, open data, and research findings

No subscriptions, no paywalls, no premium tiers. Your connections improve the model. Published tools are free to use—data and methodology are open (CC BY 4.0), keeping the mission alive.

4. Open Data & API Usage

Voidly publishes censorship data under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) license.

When using our data or API, you must:

  • Attribute: Credit "Voidly Research" with a link to voidly.ai
  • Not misrepresent: Don't claim our data says something it doesn't
  • Respect rate limits: API has rate limits to ensure fair access

You may freely:

  • Use data in academic papers, journalism, and research
  • Build applications on our API
  • Redistribute with attribution
  • Create derivative works

5. Your Responsibilities

By using Voidly, you agree to:

  • Comply with laws: Don't use Voidly for illegal activities in your jurisdiction
  • Respect others: No hacking, spamming, or abuse of other services
  • No malicious use: Don't attack other networks or users
  • Provide feedback: Report bugs, censorship events, and issues
  • Understand risks: This is beta software—use at your own risk

We reserve the right to terminate access if you abuse the system or violate these terms.

6. No Warranty

Voidly is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.

We make no guarantees about:

  • Uptime or availability
  • Connection speed or quality
  • Success in bypassing censorship
  • Data accuracy or completeness
  • Security or privacy (though we do our best)
  • Fitness for any particular purpose

The service may be interrupted, slow, or unavailable at any time. We're building this, not selling it—expectations should match that reality.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Voidly and its operators are not liable for:

  • Data loss or corruption
  • Service interruptions or downtime
  • Legal consequences in your jurisdiction
  • Third-party actions (censors, ISPs, governments)
  • Decisions made based on our censorship data or predictions
  • Any damages arising from use of the service

Use Voidly at your own risk. Our censorship data is informational—not legal or safety advice.

8. Telemetry & Data Collection

By using Voidly, you consent to anonymous telemetry collection for censorship measurement improvement.

See our privacy policy for full details.

TL;DR: We collect performance metrics (latency, success rates, censorship events). We don't collect browsing history, real IPs, or personal information.

9. Licensing

Voidly uses a dual licensing model:

  • Data & Documentation: CC BY 4.0 — free to use with attribution
  • Code & Tools: Proprietary (Ai Analytics LLC) — free to use via the Voidly platform, but redistribution, modification, and building competing products are prohibited

Published tools (SDK, MCP server, probe app) are free to install and use at no cost. See the full license terms: GitHub

10. AI & Machine Learning

Voidly uses machine learning models trained on aggregated, anonymized network data.

  • ML predictions (censorship classification, shutdown forecasts) are probabilistic—not guarantees
  • Risk tiers and scores are computed algorithmically and may not reflect all on-the-ground conditions
  • Do not rely solely on our predictions for safety-critical decisions
  • Model performance metrics (F1 scores, AUC) are reported transparently

11. Termination

We may terminate or suspend access to Voidly at any time, for any reason, without notice.

Reasons we might do this:

  • Abuse of the service (spam, attacks, illegal activity)
  • API abuse (excessive scraping, rate limit circumvention)
  • Technical reasons (server costs, legal pressure)
  • End of the research project

But: Since censorship data is CC BY 4.0 and published tools are free to use, the research can continue even if we shut down. The mission lives on.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms as the project evolves. Changes will be posted here with a new "last updated" date.

Continued use after changes means you accept the new terms.

13. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Texas.

Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Texas, USA.

For users outside the US: Your local consumer protection laws may also apply.

14. SMS Notifications

Voidly may send SMS notifications to phone numbers you provide when sending encrypted messages.

By providing a phone number as a message recipient:

  • You confirm you have obtained consent from the recipient
  • You agree to comply with all applicable SMS and telecommunications regulations (TCPA, CAN-SPAM, etc.)
  • SMS notifications contain only secure links—no message content is transmitted via SMS
  • Standard SMS rates may apply for recipients
  • Recipients can stop receiving messages by not providing their phone number to senders
  • Voidly is not responsible for misuse of the SMS notification feature
