# 3. Default Restricted Models
VaultBox provides restricted AI models by default.
These default models include content moderation, image safety checking, and related safety systems intended to reduce:
* Illegal outputs
* Explicit content
* Harmful instructions
* Fraud-related abuse
* Certain violent content
These restrictions may not be perfect.
Users remain responsible for reviewing generated outputs.

* Incorrectly block permitted content
* Misclassify generated content
* Produce inconsistent or inaccurate ratings
* Be bypassed through user misuse, third-party systems, technical limitations, or unforeseen failures
No filtering, parental control, or content rating system is perfect.
Parents and guardians remain solely responsible for supervising minors and determining whether VaultBox is appropriate for their household.
**Silkwave LLC** does not guarantee that parental controls, ratings systems, or content restrictions will prevent access to objectionable material and shall not be liable for filtering failures, classification errors, or resulting damages.

# 8. Privacy, Data Collection, and Internet Connectivity
VaultBox is designed to prioritize user privacy by performing many AI functions locally on user devices.
VaultBox does **not** use routine telemetry, behavioral analytics, advertising trackers, or automated collection of user prompts, generated outputs, personal files, local workflows, or downloaded local models.

* Anonymous internet browsing by default for supported browsing features
* Optional paid privacy add-ons that may route traffic through shared intermediary infrastructure to provide enhanced anonymity protections
Silkwave does not guarantee complete anonymity, privacy, or security.
