Terms, Privacy & Disclaimer

By creating an account or using StellarOS (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated.

StellarOS provides tools to evaluate a profile against publicly described immigration criteria, surface potential opportunities, draft outreach for your review, track a self-managed pipeline, and assemble materials you may choose to share with your own attorney. Features, content, and availability may change over time.

You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials (including third-party sign-in via Google or LinkedIn) and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

You retain ownership of the information and materials you submit ("Your Content"). You grant StellarOS a limited license to process Your Content solely to operate and improve the Service for you. You are responsible for the accuracy of Your Content and for any action you take based on the Service. You must not use the Service to create or submit false, misleading, or fraudulent evidence.

The Service does not guarantee any result. Statistics, scores, and projections are estimates for planning only and are not promises of eligibility, approval, or timing.

The Service, including its software, design, and content (excluding Your Content), is owned by StellarOS and its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose.

The Service integrates third parties (for example, authentication, payment processing, AI model providers, email delivery, and hosting). Your use of those features may be subject to the third party's own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, StellarOS and its officers, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from immigration decisions or outcomes. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

You agree to indemnify and hold StellarOS harmless from claims arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms or to protect the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

We may update these Terms; material changes will be posted here with a new "last updated" date and, where appropriate, notice to you. Continued use after changes means you accept them. These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which StellarOS's operating entity is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Questions: legal@stellaros.app.

You provide: account details (name, email, password or third-party sign-in identifier), and profile/case information you enter (field, role, publications, citations, awards, target dates, and similar). Automatically: usage and device data, log data, and cookies needed to run the Service. From third parties: basic profile and verified email from Google or LinkedIn if you choose to sign in with them.

To provide and operate the Service (evaluate your profile, surface opportunities, draft outreach you choose to send, track your pipeline), to secure and improve the Service, to process payments, to communicate with you (including a weekly recap if enabled), and to comply with law. We do not sell your personal information.

Some features use third-party AI/LLM providers to generate evaluations and drafts. Relevant profile content may be sent to those providers to produce your results. We work to limit what is shared to what is necessary for the feature.

We share data with vendors that operate the Service on our behalf — hosting/infrastructure, database, authentication, AI providers, email delivery, and payment processing — under contracts that limit their use of your data. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights and safety. We never contact immigration authorities on your behalf; outbound emails are sent only by your explicit action.

We use strictly necessary cookies (for example, your session) and limited analytics to understand and improve usage. You can control cookies through your browser; disabling necessary cookies may break sign-in.

We retain your data while your account is active and as needed for legitimate business and legal purposes, then delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data; no system is perfectly secure.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. You can delete your account and data at any time, or contact legal@stellaros.app. We honor applicable rights under laws such as the GDPR and CCPA/CPRA.

Your data may be processed in countries other than yours; we use appropriate safeguards where required. The Service is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
