# Legal and Data Use

This page summarises the terms, licences, and data-handling points that apply when you use ADI Starter Edition in the Beta. It is a plain-language summary and points to the documents that govern each area; those documents take precedence.

## General

**Terms and privacy.** Use of Starter Edition is governed by our [Terms of Service](https://agentic-data.com/terms) and [Privacy Policy](https://agentic-data.com/privacy). You accept these terms explicitly when you create your Zitadel account for authentication (see below).

**Skills and Plugins.** The ADI Skills and Plugins are provided through a GitHub repo and are installed directly into your agent. Each repository states its own licence. In the future they may also be listed on various official and community marketplaces and listings.

**Identity and authentication.** Identity and authentication are provided by Zitadel, a Swiss-headquartered identity and authentication platform, and ADI uses it with data residency in Switzerland. You sign in with, or create, a Zitadel account when you connect. You can find more information about Zitadel here:

## AI use

You use ADI through your own coding agent and the LLM(s) that your agent runs. The LLM steps happen on your side, under your control, so your settings and your model provider's terms are the ones that apply.

Because of this, we strongly advise that you review your agent's data-protection, privacy, and model-training settings before you start, and make sure any training or data-sharing options are set the way you intend. Do not provide any personal, confidential, or sensitive data during the process of using ADI. You are solely responsible for the use of your data with your agent and LLM(s).

By design, ADI does not use a language model to author your contract or to generate your SQL in Starter Edition. Your agent does the LLM work: it reads ADI's authoring specification and drafts the contract, and it turns your question into a structured request. ADI then validates the contract and compiles the request into SQL deterministically, without a language model, so the same request always produces the same SQL.

ADI never sees your underlying data. The contract is built from schema and context, and at the Beta tier (t1) the generated SQL runs in your own environment.
