Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 years old to use KATARUU. By creating an account, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. KATARUU is a voice-based professional episode platform that lets you record, produce, and share short audio episodes based on your professional experience. It is operated as an independent service and is not affiliated with LinkedIn or any other platform.

You must provide a real name and a valid email address to create an account. You are responsible for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 years old to use KATARUU. One account per person. We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these terms.

You retain full ownership of your recordings and everything created from them. You grant SaaS CRO LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transcribe, adapt (including generating transcripts, summaries, scores, social post drafts, and your Synthesis), publicly display, publicly perform, stream, distribute, and embed your content, solely as necessary to operate, provide, and promote the features of the service you choose to use — for example, displaying episodes you make public on your share page, your public timeline, and third-party sites via the embed player. This license ends for content you delete, subject to the 30-day removal window described in §3, except for residual copies in routine backups, which are purged on backup rotation.

You may not use KATARUU to impersonate, defame, or misrepresent any real individual, living or deceased. You may not submit content designed to generate audio or written material falsely attributed to a named person. You may not use KATARUU to create, distribute, or publish content that could constitute defamation, libel, false light, or impersonation under applicable law.

KATARUU generates content based on professional experience you provide. You represent and warrant that you are the person whose experience is described, or that you have explicit authorization from that person to create content on their behalf.

KATARUU LLC bears no liability for user-generated content that violates these terms. Episodes created in violation of this policy may be removed without notice. Repeat violations will result in permanent account termination.

If you believe content on KATARUU impersonates or defames you or another individual, please use the report mechanism at kataruu.com/report.

Recordings of Other People

Your episodes must contain only your own voice unless every other person whose voice is captured has given you permission to record and publish them. California and many other jurisdictions require the consent of ALL parties to record a conversation. By submitting a recording, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all consents required by applicable law — including all-party-consent recording laws (such as California Penal Code §632) and biometric-information laws — from every identifiable person in it. We may remove content and terminate accounts that violate this section. Prohibited content additionally includes content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or that discloses another person's private information without consent.

KATARUU uses artificial intelligence to generate interview questions, transcribe your audio, and score your episode. By using the service you consent to this processing.

We use the following AI providers:

• Google Gemini (via the Lovable AI Gateway) for episode scoring
• Deepgram (deepgram.com) for speech-to-text transcription and text-to-speech narration
• Anthropic (anthropic.com) for AI text generation — interview questions, summaries, social-media post drafts, and your Synthesis

All three processors are United States-based.

Your content is processed by these providers solely to deliver the service. Neither KATARUU nor its AI providers use your content to train AI models without your explicit separate consent.

AI-generated outputs — including scores, transcripts, interview questions, summaries, social-media drafts, and your Synthesis — are produced by automated systems, may contain errors or inaccuracies, are provided for informational purposes only, and do not constitute professional advice of any kind. You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated content before relying on it or publishing it.

KATARUU may offer an optional recruiter discovery feature that makes your public profile and episodes searchable by hiring professionals.

This feature is:

• Opt-in only — disabled by default
• Controlled entirely by you
• Reversible at any time
• Available to paid users only

When enabled, your public profile (kataruu.com/k/{username}) and episode titles may appear in search results visible to registered recruiters.

Your full transcript and personal contact details are never shared with recruiters without your explicit additional consent.

KATARUU does not:

• Sell your personal data to third parties
• Use your voice recordings to train AI models without your explicit consent
• Share your episode content with any employer, recruiter, or third party without your explicit opt-in
• Access your LinkedIn account in any way — all LinkedIn content you share with us is provided manually by you
• Send automated messages to your LinkedIn connections on your behalf

The KATARUU name, logo, and brand are our intellectual property. You may not use them without written permission.

The KATARUU Score methodology and question generation system are proprietary to KATARUU. You may share your score publicly but may not reverse-engineer or replicate the scoring methodology.

KATARUU is provided as-is without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Data loss. While we take commercially reasonable measures to safeguard and back up your content, we do not guarantee that content will never be lost, corrupted, or become unavailable, whether through technical failure, third-party provider failure, security incident, or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss of, damage to, or inability to access your content. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of recordings that matter to you — the service provides MP3 download and data-export features for exactly this purpose, and we encourage you to use them.

We are not responsible for content published by users. We are not liable for any consequences arising from sharing your episode publicly.

You may delete your account at any time. All your data will be permanently deleted within 30 days.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice depending on severity.

On termination, your right to use the service ends immediately. Paid subscriptions are cancelled and not refunded for remaining time.

We may update these terms at any time. We will notify registered users by email at least 30 days before material changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

These terms are governed by the laws of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of San Diego County, California.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, both parties waive the right to a jury trial and agree that any claim may be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Nothing in these Terms limits either party's right to seek relief in small-claims court, or waives rights that cannot be waived under California law, including rights under California Civil Code §1542 where applicable.

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on KATARUU infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated DMCA agent.
