Slotscoop Acceptable Use Policy

This policy is part of our Terms of Service. It applies to everyone who uses Slotscoop, which is made by Sixtyfive Security Systems Ltd. Slotscoop listens during your calls — to you and, if you allow it, to the other side — so using it responsibly is a condition of using it at all.

1. What Slotscoop is for

Slotscoop is for people who work and live in English as a second language. Use it on the calls where you speak for yourself, for example:

• client calls, sales calls and support calls;
• stand-ups, team meetings and one-to-ones;
• negotiations and presentations;
• everyday conversations with colleagues, friends and partners;
• practice — and, afterwards, learning the words you keep losing in "Your words".

Job interviews are a special case: see section 4.

2. The idea: your words, not a script

Slotscoop gives you one word in your headphones, or 2–3 separate words near your camera, for a moment. With Understanding, it can also show a short explanation of a common phrase the other side used. Never sentences for you to say, never answers, never facts about the topic. Unless you ask for a word with the shortcut, it stays silent when it isn't sure. What you say, and how, is always yours.

That is a deliberate choice, and we will keep it. We won't build features that write answers for you or feed you facts, and we won't build features meant to hide Slotscoop from people who have a right to know about it — for example exam supervisors, interviewers who forbid assistance, or proctoring software. We don't advertise Slotscoop as "undetectable", and we don't promise that it is invisible in screen sharing or recordings. When Slotscoop notices that you are sharing your screen, it keeps its words off what you share, as presentation apps keep your speaker notes on your own screen. That is for your privacy, not to hide Slotscoop: the rules in section 4 still apply, and macOS still shows its microphone indicator while Slotscoop listens.

3. Your responsibilities

When you use Slotscoop, you agree to:

• check that you may use it. Some workplaces, clients, contracts (for example NDAs), events and platforms limit software that listens to calls or helps you during them;
• give notice, or get consent, where the rules require it for the other people on your call (section 6);
• follow the terms of the call apps you use;
• not rely on it where a wrong word could cause harm — medical, legal, financial or safety-critical conversations — and not use it instead of a qualified interpreter where one is needed;
• use headphones for the whisper and keep the volume at a comfortable level;
• keep your license key to yourself.

4. What is not allowed

You may not use Slotscoop, or try to use it:

• to cheat — in exams, tests, quizzes, certifications, school or university assessments, competitions, or any other assessment whose rules forbid outside help or software assistance;
• in English-language tests and certifications, or wherever your language skills are being formally assessed;
• in job interviews or hiring assessments whose rules forbid outside help or AI tools, or that ask you to disclose such tools when you haven't. Many employers now forbid them. If you aren't sure, ask the employer or pause Slotscoop for that call;
• to deceive — for example, to impersonate someone, to run scams, or to mislead people where honesty about your abilities is required;
• to listen to calls you are not taking part in, or to monitor or spy on other people, including employees;
• to record, transcribe or keep other people's speech — by modifying Slotscoop or combining it with other tools. Slotscoop is not a recording tool;
• to harass, threaten, abuse or discriminate against anyone;
• in ways that break the law or other people's rights — including privacy, confidentiality, data-protection, and call-recording or interception laws — or the terms of your call platform;
• to get around the free trial, the license check, the macOS sandbox or other protections, or to sell, share or publish license keys;
• to attack, overload or misuse our servers (download.slotscoop.com and key.slotscoop.com);
• if you are under 16.

Before an exam or a test, pause or quit Slotscoop. It starts by itself when a call app or a web browser uses your microphone — and many online exams and proctoring tools use the microphone through a browser.

5. Staying in control

You decide when Slotscoop listens:

• Pause (on Slotscoop's Home, or with the pause shortcut — ⌃⌥S unless you change it) stops it until you resume.
• Skip this call keeps it asleep until the current call ends.
• Stop listening ends a session you started yourself.
• Call audio can be switched off at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording. Slotscoop then hears only you.
• macOS shows its microphone indicator whenever Slotscoop listens, and its recording indicator while Slotscoop hears the sound of a call.

6. Other people's voices and the law

What Slotscoop does with the other side. If you allow call audio, Slotscoop hears the sound of your call on your Mac and turns the other people's speech into text in memory, to understand the topic and, with Understanding, to explain phrases they use. It doesn't record that sound or text, doesn't save it, doesn't send it anywhere, and doesn't identify who is speaking. With Understanding, it saves only which phrases from its built-in list it explained to you or heard you use yourself (while the journal is on), and the ones you marked "I know this" — never what was said around them. The Privacy Policy has the details.

Why the law may still apply. Rules about listening to calls are different around the world:

• some places, including several US states, require the consent of everyone on a call before it is recorded or "intercepted" — and these rules may cover software that processes a call in real time, even without recording it;
• in the EU and the UK, if you use Slotscoop for work, processing your colleagues' or clients' speech may count as processing their personal data, which can mean you or your employer must inform them;
• employers, clients and contracts may set their own rules.

What to do. Find out which rules apply to you and your calls. Where they require it, tell the other people that you use a word helper which listens on your computer and records nothing, or get their consent. If you can't meet a requirement, don't use Slotscoop on that call — choose "Skip this call" or "Stop listening", or switch off call audio as section 5 explains. You are responsible for the legality of each call on which you use Slotscoop.

7. Children

Slotscoop is not for anyone under 16.

8. Reporting and enforcement

If you think Slotscoop is being misused, or you have a safety concern, write to support@slotscoop.com.

Slotscoop has no accounts and runs on your Mac, so we can't see how anyone uses it. If we learn of a serious or repeated breach of this policy, we may cancel the subscription linked to the key involved and refuse to renew it, as our Terms of Service describe, and we may cooperate with authorities where the law requires. A breach of this policy is a breach of the Terms of Service.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The current version, with its date, is always at slotscoop.com/acceptable-use. If a change matters, we will also say so in Slotscoop or on slotscoop.com.
