Legal Information
Effective Date: Feb 13, 2026 | Applies to Zian Software and Services
Terms of Service
Welcome to Zian. These Terms are a contract between you (the "Buyer") and the individual proprietor of Zian (the "Vendor", "we", or "us") governing your use of the Zian software and related services. Before downloading, installing, activating, or using Zian ("Software"), carefully read these terms. Use of the software implies acceptance of these terms.
1. License and Scope
- Lifetime License: One-time purchase for permanent use of the purchased version. You get free updates and fixes within the same major version (e.g., 1.x). Upgrading to a new major version (e.g., 2.x) may require an additional fee.
- Device Limit: Each serial number can be activated on up to 1 device you personally own. Binding is based on hardware machine code.
- Fully Offline Activation: Authorization is completed entirely locally. No internet check is performed. You are responsible for safeguarding your serial number. Since the serial number is bound to your machine code, it cannot be used on other devices even if leaked.
2. User Conduct
- Do not reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code.
- Do not rent, resell, distribute, or use for commercial outsourcing without written authorization.
- Do not use the software for any illegal activities or infringing on third-party rights.
3. Updates and Maintenance
Since Zian is fully offline and does not have auto-update capabilities:
- You must manually check the official website for new versions to get fixes or security updates.
- We do not guarantee indefinite compatibility with future OS upgrades if the software is not updated.
4. Disclaimer
The software is provided "AS IS".
- Data Security Responsibility: Since data is stored locally, you are responsible for backups. We are not liable for data loss due to device failure or misuse.
- Third-Party Services: If you use third-party APIs (e.g., OpenAI), you assume all risks related to fees, privacy, or service interruptions.
- No Warranty: We do not guarantee error-free or uninterrupted operation in all environments.
Privacy Policy
Zian follows a "Privacy First" principle. Our architecture ensures absolute data sovereignty: Your data belongs to you, physically and legally.
1. Absolute Offline Promise
We promise: Zian has no internet modules and no background telemetry processes.
- Offline Activation: Matches machine code locally; no network request sent.
- Offline Operation: Speech recognition runs on local CPU/GPU; no audio uploads.
- No Telemetry: We do not collect device IDs, IP addresses, usage time, or crash logs.
2. Zian Link Security
Zian Link transmits data between phone and PC using Local Area Network (LAN) only.
- Data transmits directly peer-to-peer; no relay servers. Works even without internet access.
- All transmission is encrypted with AES-256 to prevent LAN eavesdropping.
3. Third-Party Services
The software itself cannot connect to the internet, but offers an interface for third-party LLMs (e.g., OpenAI).
- User Controlled: Connects only if you explicitly provide an API Key and enable it.
- Pass-through Mode: Requests go directly to your provider. Zian acts as a client and does not intercept or store this data.
- Please refer to your service provider's privacy policy.
4. Payment Privacy
Payments are handled by third-party platforms. As developers:
- We see: Order ID and device Machine ID.
- We do NOT see: Credit card numbers or financial info.
- No Linkage: We cannot link your purchase identity to your offline usage data.
5. Sensitive Permissions & Services
To provide cross-screen typing capabilities, Zian Link Android requires certain system permissions:
- Accessibility Service: This permission is strictly and solely used to automatically paste the transcribed text into the input field of the app you are currently using. We do not, and will never, collect, store, or upload any content, passwords, or personal data from your screen.
- Foreground Service: Used to keep the microphone active in the background and display the floating recording button. All audio is processed locally or over your private LAN, and never uploaded to our servers.
