6. What Wadsworth.app does

6.1 When instructed, for example by using a “/join” command, the Bot joins a Voice Channel and captures audio from that channel while it is in the channel.

6.2 Wadsworth.app may segment audio, generate Transcripts, store Recordings, store Metadata, and show Transcripts in a web interface.

6.3 Features can change over time. Features may be added, removed, enabled by default, disabled by default, or changed without notice.

7.2 Wadsworth.app does not currently post automatic notices in Discord when it starts recording or transcribing.

7.3 The Server Administrator and anyone who causes the Bot to join a Voice Channel must make sure that all Participants are clearly informed before any audio is captured, and that all required permissions and consents are obtained.

7.4 The Server Administrator and anyone who causes the Bot to join a Voice Channel confirms they have all rights and lawful basis needed for:

• our use of Recordings, Transcripts and Metadata for improvement, analytics, and model training as described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy

7.5 Do not use Wadsworth.app for highly sensitive, privileged, or confidential conversations unless you have assessed the risks and are satisfied it is appropriate. We do not guarantee confidentiality.

7.6 You must keep evidence that you provided notice and obtained any required permissions, consents and lawful basis for recording and transcription. If we ask for this evidence, you must provide it promptly. If you do not, we may suspend or terminate access.

8. Access to Transcripts and Recordings

8.1 The web interface is authenticated using Discord login.

8.2 Access to Transcripts is based on whether a Discord account was a Participant while the Bot was in the relevant Voice Channel, using Discord presence information. This may not be perfect and we do not guarantee it is always accurate.
