Effective as of November 18, 2024

1. General Information Regarding These Terms of Use 

Thanks for your interest in Cyd and the company that makes it, Lockdown Systems LLC (“Lockdown Systems”, “we,” “us,” and “our”)! Cyd is software that allows you to control your own data on third-party tech platforms. Everything that Cyd does you could do yourself with nothing more than a web browser.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to your use of the websites and apps (“Services), including Cyd, that Lockdown Systems operates.

💡
Human-readable summary of Section 1: Cyd is an app that helps you control your data on tech platforms. These terms create a contract between you and Lockdown Systems that governs your use of our websites and apps, including Cyd. These human-readable summaries of each section are not part of the contract but are intended to help you understand its terms.

 2. Your Agreement to the Terms

BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE CYD APP), YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS. By accessing or using any Services you also represent that you have the legal authority to accept the Terms on behalf of yourself and any party you represent in connection with your use of any Services. If you do not agree to the Terms, you are not authorized to use any Services. If you are an individual who is entering into these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the power to bind that entity, and you hereby agree on that entity’s behalf to be bound by these Terms, with the terms “you,” and “your” applying to you, that entity, and other users accessing the Services on behalf of that entity.

Human-readable summary of Section 2: Please read these terms and only use our sites and services if you agree to them.

 3. Changes to the Terms

From time to time, Lockdown Systems may change, remove, or add to the Terms, and reserves the right to do so in its discretion. In that case, we will post updated Terms and indicate the date of revision. If we feel the modifications are material, we will make reasonable efforts to post a prominent notice on the relevant websites and/or notify subscribers of our newsletter. All new and/or revised Terms take effect immediately and apply to your use of the Services from that date on, except that material changes will take effect 30 days after the change is made and identified as material. Your continued use of any Services after new and/or revised Terms are effective indicates that you have read, understood, and agreed to those Terms.

4. User Acknowledged Conditions 

The Services work by requesting, modifying or deleting data on third-party tech platforms. Third-party tech platforms (“Platforms”) are defined as any website, program, offering or service not owned by us that you may use our Services to interact with. This includes social networks, messengers, productivity tools, utilities, data brokers and any other service you may access from the Services, including any affiliates or partners of such Platforms.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand all applicable Platforms’ own terms of service. To the greatest extent possible, we expressly disclaim any liability with respect to any potential violation by you of such terms of service arising from your use of the Services. You agree to review any Platform’s terms of service that may bind or apply to you and to not engage in any activity violating such terms of service when using the Services in any manner whatsoever.

You also understand, agree to and acknowledge the following:

  • The Services are provided with no guarantees and no service level agreements and therefore should not be used to access any data that you or your business cannot tolerate being permanently or temporarily deleted.
  • The Services may allow you to save a copy of your data locally to your device. This feature is provided as is and with no guarantees or warranties that it will be complete.
  • Your use of the Services may result in the deletion of more of your data than intended.
  • Your use of the Services may not delete all data that you intended to delete.
  • Our Services might report that we have completed an action even though that action was not completed, for example a report of a completed deletion of data when the data was not actually deleted.
  • Applicable Platforms, or their affiliates or partners, may still maintain copies of data that you intended to delete using the Services.
  • We do not maintain any online backups whatsoever of data that you process using the Services.
  • Your use of the Services may delete data belonging to third parties, whether affiliated (such as “friends”) or unaffiliated (such as “followers”).
  • Your use of the Services may affect or alter functionality of any Platform, websites, applications or software.
  • Your use of the Services may permanently or temporarily delete data that you process using the Services.
  • To the fullest extent possible under applicable law, we expressly disclaim any liability, and you hereby accept all liability, arising from any of these conditions set forth herein and your use of the Services in any manner not expressly permitted by these Terms of Use.
