  third-party changes, coverage gaps, regulatory non-compliance, and
  commercial licensee expectations. Explicit limitation of liability
  for privacy breaches, identity theft, and regulatory penalties.
- PRIVACY.md: added limitations section covering third-party changes,
  coverage gaps, user responsibility, and compliance disclaimer.
- README.md: detailed disclaimer with specific scenarios — site API

  commercial license scope.
- Popup: expanded footer warning about third-party changes and user
  responsibility.
- Options page: added footer disclaimer with LICENSE link, updated
  version to 0.9.0.

## Disclaimer
Silent Send is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. It is a convenience tool that reduces the chance of accidentally sharing personal information with AI services. It is not a security guarantee and should not be your only privacy protection. The source code is available for inspection — you don't have to take our word for it.
Silent Send is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. It is a **convenience tool** that reduces — but cannot eliminate — the risk of accidentally sharing personal information with AI services. It is **not a security guarantee** and should not be your only privacy protection.
**What this means in practice:**
- Silent Send may fail to detect or substitute personal information in certain formats, edge cases, images, or data you haven't configured.
- Third-party websites (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Reddit, GitHub, etc.) may change their interfaces, APIs, or data submission methods at any time. Such changes can cause Silent Send to stop intercepting data **without any visible error or warning**. The Silent Send contributors have no control over and accept no responsibility for third-party changes.
- **You are solely responsible** for verifying that your personal data has been properly substituted before sending. The Test tab in the popup is provided for this purpose.
- Silent Send is not a substitute for professional data protection, legal compliance, or security tooling. It does not guarantee compliance with any regulation (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, PCI-DSS, or otherwise).
- No contributor, maintainer, or distributor of Silent Send shall be liable for any damages arising from its use, including but not limited to privacy breaches, identity theft, data exposure, or regulatory penalties — whether caused by software bugs, third-party changes, misconfiguration, or any other reason.
Commercial licensees: a commercial license grants the right to use Silent Send in a commercial context. It does not create additional warranties, indemnification, or liability obligations beyond those stated in the license agreement.
The source code is available for inspection — you don't have to take our word for it.
