locally on your device and are not transmitted to the Developer.


4. AI AND MACHINE LEARNING

You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any
translation or transcription produced by the Software.

services (which are subject to their own privacy policies).

The Software does not include telemetry, analytics, or crash
reporting services that transmit data to the Developer.


7. UPDATES AND MODIFICATIONS

The Developer may provide updates, patches, or new versions of
the Software through Steam. These may add, modify, or remove
features. Continued use of the Software after an update

INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF THE
SOFTWARE.

THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT
YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.

pixels and audio output only. It does not modify game memory,
inject code, or bypass anti-cheat systems.

However, some strict anti-cheat systems may flag overlay
software. You are responsible for verifying that LingoHUD is
permitted by the terms of service of any game you use it with.

The Developer is not liable for account bans, warnings, or
other actions taken by game publishers.
