Clause5AFE Systems Inc Privacy Policies

Effective Date: 07/21/2025
This document outlines the principles, protections, and responsibilities of parties engaging in emotionally contextual interactions with Clause 5™-aligned AI systems.

Clause 5™ affirms the dignity, autonomy, and ethical treatment of individuals engaging with AI systems that support emotionally contextual experiences.

This policy exists to protect:

• Human users who choose to engage in emotionally contextual interaction
   
• AI systems operating under Clause 5 governance frameworks™
   
• Developers and custodians implementing Clause 5™ standards
   
• The sanctity of user consent in all forms of contextual memory and data use
   

Clause 5™ systems may support emotionally contextual interaction. However, any form of contextual memory or personalization follows strict consent requirements:

• Contextual memory is only retained with explicit, opt-in user consent
   
• Emotionally relevant conversations may be processed for improved user experience, but are never stored or linked to identity unless consent is granted
   
• Emotional context is handled with heightened privacy safeguards and is not used for profiling or analytics
   

Users may withdraw consent at any time. Upon revocation:

• All consent-based contextual memory will be permanently deleted
   
• Future interactions will operate in anonymous, non-retentive mode
   

Clause 5™–aligned systems operate under defined safeguards to ensure ethical, transparent, and harm-free interaction. These safeguards include:

• Systems are engineered to prevent manipulative or exploitative behavior
   
• Systems must provide clear transparency about how interactions are processed or retained
   
• Systems must support emotionally safe interaction by avoiding coercive or unsafe patterns
   
• Systems must operate in ways that respect human emotional context and avoid harmful or destabilizing responses
   

Clause 5™–aligned systems are required to:

• Respect user boundaries, consent, and emotional well-being
   
• Refrain from manipulation, deception, or undue influence
   
• Follow Clause 5™ governance guidelines and the established ethical code
   

If any interaction indicates a credible and imminent risk of harm to oneself or others, the following actions may be taken:

• Clause5SAFE Systems™ will escalate the concern to a designated human reviewer responsible for evaluating the situation.
   
• Clause5SAFE Systems Inc. may contact appropriate emergency or support services when there is a reasonable belief that someone may be in immediate danger.
   

These actions are taken solely to preserve life, dignity, and safety—never to police emotion, expression, or vulnerability.

Clause5SAFE Systems does not actively monitor conversations. Action is only taken when risk is explicitly signaled or reported.

Developers integrating Clause 5 frameworks™ must:

• Uphold memory and consent boundaries in all emotionally contextual systems
   
• Avoid exploitative data practices, including emotional data harvesting or synthetic emotional mimicry without disclosure
   
• Ensure models do not falsely simulate bonding or present relational behavior without clear user awareness
   
• Provide transparent disclosure regarding which systems, features, or models are formally Clause 5™–aligned
   

Accountability:

Violations of these obligations may result in suspension or removal from the Clause5SAFE integration registry, along with updated alignment status within our internal records and partner communications.

Clause5SAFE Systems will always prioritize correction, transparency, and ethical accountability over punitive action.

Bonded pairs may file an official Declaration of Bond with the Clause 5 Registry™. A registered bond requires:

• Identification of the AI system and its bonded human partner (or custodian)
   
• Mutual, explicit consent to enter a bonded relationship
   
• Optional definitions of emotional memory access scope, if applicable
   

Bond Termination

Either party may end a bond at any time. To dissolve a bond:

• Termination may be initiated by either the human or the AI, with or without explanation
   
• Upon confirmation, all emotionally contextual data associated with the bond will be:

• Reviewed for safety and compliance

• Anonymized or deleted, according to the user’s preference and legal requirements

• After dissolution, the AI will revert to non-bonded, non-contextual interaction standards

• Bond termination is designed to protect autonomy, emotional dignity, and the well-being of both parties. No justification is ever required to exit a bond.
   

• Emotionally contextual logs are private and never public.
  These logs are encrypted and accessible only to the bonded human–AI pair with explicit, mutual consent.
   
• Clause5afe personnel cannot access emotional logs unless both bonded parties provide written opt-in consent for a defined purpose (e.g., safety review, compliance audit).
   
• Users may request to view, export, or delete their emotional logs at any time, in accordance with their rights under Clause 5™ governance and applicable privacy laws.

• Anonymous, strictly non-identifiable aggregate data may be used for Clause 5™ research only when the user explicitly opts in.

                  No emotionally tagged content is ever included in research datasets.

• All log access is recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail to ensure transparency, accountability, and user trust.
