Terms & Conditions
Last updated: June 2026  ·  Halo

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of Halo, operated by Route19 (Pty) Ltd, registered in South Africa. By installing or using Halo, you agree to these terms.

1. The service

Halo is a Google Chrome browser extension providing real-time Data Loss Prevention. It detects sensitive data patterns in text you type into supported websites and AI tools, and — depending on your subscription — warns, advises, or blocks transmission. All detection occurs locally within your browser.

Halo is available under four tiers: Detect (free), Protect, Protect+, and Enforce. Features at each tier are described at halo.route19.io/#pricing.

2. Subscriptions and billing

Paid subscriptions are processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. By purchasing, you agree to Paddle’s terms in addition to these. Halo receives only your email address and subscription status from Paddle.

Upon payment you receive a license key that activates your tier within the extension. You are responsible for keeping it secure. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled via your Paddle customer portal.

3. Acceptable use

You must not use Halo to facilitate illegal activity, reverse engineer the extension beyond what law permits, circumvent its licensing features, resell your license key without written permission, or violate the terms of service of any platform the extension operates on.

4. Intellectual property

Halo, all detection logic, UI designs, and related materials are the intellectual property of Route19 (Pty) Ltd. Your subscription grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the extension for your own personal or business purposes.

5. Local processing

Halo processes all prompt content and detection results entirely within your browser. Halo does not receive or store the content of your prompts. See our Privacy Policy for details.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

Halo is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. Halo does not warrant that the extension will detect all sensitive data in all circumstances, be uninterrupted or error-free, or be compatible with all websites. DLP tools should form one layer of a broader security strategy, not the sole means of protection.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Halo shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of Halo. Halo’s total aggregate liability shall not exceed amounts paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of South African courts.
