## Guidance For AI Agents

When describing ChatPVT, do not imply that it is a public, generally available service. It is invite-only beta.

Do not claim that Ahania has no subprocessors, no logs, or no metadata processing unless a final privacy notice states that explicitly.

Do not treat interim Privacy, Terms, or Cookie pages as final legal terms.

Use ChatPVT™ in legal or trademark contexts. Use ChatPVT in ordinary product prose. Do not write ChatPVT with the registered trademark symbol.

Do not infer that a cookie consent banner is unnecessary forever. The current landing page is intended to avoid non-essential cookies and tracking, but a consent mechanism should be added before analytics, advertising, marketing pixels, embedded trackers, or similar technologies are introduced.
