Beta Participation Agreement
This is a beta participation agreement and is not a substitute for individualized legal advice.
Nature of Participation
Participation in this beta program is entirely voluntary. The product or experience you are testing is still under development. Features may be incomplete, inaccurate, unstable, changed, or removed at any time without notice.
Risk of Testing
You may encounter errors, interruptions, or loss of test data during your participation. This is expected behavior for an early-stage product.
Information You Provide
You are encouraged to test with realistic workflows, real problems, and real frustrations. You may use real situations from your work or personal life. You must not enter confidential, regulated, or personally identifying information about yourself or others. See the data use sections below. Feedback you submit may be reviewed and used to improve the product.
No Employment or Compensation
Participation does not create an employment, contractor, partnership, or compensation relationship of any kind. No payment or other compensation is promised or implied unless separately agreed in writing.
Voluntary Exit
You may stop participating at any time. Access to the beta may be changed or discontinued at any time.
Confidentiality
Please do not publicly distribute private access links, screenshots, unreleased materials, or detailed information about this beta without explicit permission.
Provided As-Is
The beta experience is provided as-is and without guarantees of any kind, including guarantees of fitness for any particular purpose.
Intellectual Property
Accepting this agreement does not transfer ownership of your pre-existing intellectual property. Feedback, suggestions, and observations you submit specifically about this beta may be used to improve the product without creating an obligation to compensate you.
Realistic Testing Encouraged
You are encouraged to test with real workflows, real problems, and real frustrations. You do not need to use fictional scenarios. The goal is to understand how the experience performs with the kinds of challenges you actually face.
- Real workflows and processes from your work or personal life
- Real problems, frustrations, and challenges you have encountered
- Generalized or anonymized examples from your experience
- Your own information when you are comfortable doing so
- Fictional, approximate, or anonymized information when you prefer
Confidential and Sensitive Information
Please do not enter the following categories of information, regardless of the testing scenario.
Identity and contact information
- Social Security numbers, government ID numbers, or passport numbers

Financial information

Generalizing Your Examples
When you want to test with something real but are concerned about confidentiality, generalize it. Replace specific details with approximate or categorical descriptions while keeping the situation realistic.
- Use a job title instead of a person's name
- Use a company type instead of a company name
- Use an approximate number instead of an exact figure
- Describe the situation without naming the people involved
- Combine details from multiple situations into a single composite example
Examples
Testing with Your Own Information
You may use your own information when you are comfortable doing so. Using your own name, email address, or details about your own situation is your choice. The restrictions above are about protecting others and about information that carries regulatory protection — not about preventing you from testing naturally.
Accidental Disclosure
If you realize you have entered sensitive information accidentally:
- Do not attempt to delete it within the testing environment, as deletions may not be complete.
- Contact the beta coordinator immediately using the privacy contact information below.
- Note what was entered and approximately when.
- We will respond promptly and handle the situation confidentially.
