Discord Integration & Bot Services

When you authorize Discord account linking, you grant AeThex permission to: access your Discord profile information, manage verification codes, and assign Discord roles based on your AeThex realm.

Discord services are governed by Discord's Terms of Service in addition to these Terms.

Web3 & Wallet Authentication

When you connect a Web3 wallet (Ethereum, MetaMask, etc.), you authorize AeThex to verify your wallet ownership through message signing. You acknowledge that: message signing is read-only and does not authorize any fund transfers, wallet address is public blockchain data, and you remain fully responsible for wallet security and management. AeThex does not store or handle wallet private keys or funds.

Roblox Account Linking

When you link your Roblox account via OAuth, you grant AeThex permission to access your Roblox profile information and game development data. Your use of Roblox services through AeThex is subject to Roblox's Terms of Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Roblox account credentials and can unlink your Roblox account at any time.

Game Authentication & Developer Services

Game developers using AeThex authentication services (Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc.) agree that: authentication tokens must be kept confidential, tokens are for authorized use only and must not be shared or sold, game servers are responsible for validating tokens before granting access, and AeThex is not liable for unauthorized access if tokens are compromised. Game session data may be retained for analytics and debugging purposes in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

OAuth & Third-Party Authorization

We support OAuth integration with GitHub, Google, Discord, Roblox, and Web3 providers. When you authorize through any provider, you are granting AeThex permission to receive and use the data they share. You can review, modify, and revoke these permissions at any time through your account settings or the third-party service's authorization page. Revoking access may limit certain AeThex features that depend on that integration.

Browser Extension Disclaimer (Sentinel & Warden)

The AeThex Sentinel extension and Warden bot are provided for data loss prevention purposes. By installing or using the extension, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • Website Interference: The extension may interfere with website functionality on certain sites. AeThex is not responsible for any website breakage, form submission failures, or data loss resulting from extension use.
  • False Positives: The DLP scanning system may generate false positives, blocking legitimate content that resembles sensitive data patterns. AeThex is not liable for any business disruption, lost transactions, or inconvenience caused by false positive detections.
  • No Absolute Security Guarantee: No security tool is 100% effective. AeThex does not guarantee prevention of all data leaks, security incidents, or breaches. The extension is one layer of defense and should not be your sole security measure.

You are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable privacy laws in your jurisdiction.
  • Policy Configuration Responsibility: You are solely responsible for configuring security policies appropriate for your organization's needs. Misconfigured policies may result in over-blocking or under-protection.
  • Policy Updates: You are responsible for staying informed about extension policy updates. We will notify you of material changes, but continued use after notification constitutes acceptance.
  • Browser Permissions: The extension requires certain browser permissions to function. You consent to granting these permissions when you install the extension and acknowledge that revoking permissions will disable extension functionality.
