Last Updated: January 01, 2023
Your use of the Gabriel® Crypto App services and related software and applications is subject to the following terms of service (“Terms”). Our Terms form a legally binding agreement between you; and Forward Edge-AI, Inc. (“we” or “us“). By using the Service, you accept these Terms, which may be modified by us from time to time. By continuing to use the Service after we have notified you of changes to the Terms, you’re agreeing to accept those changes. We may also limit, suspend, terminate, or discontinue your use of or access to the Service or certain features or functions of the Service, at any time without notice. By using the Service, you agree that you are 18 or older or your parent or guardian has consented to these Terms.
Eligibility; Device Requirements; and Limitations. The Service is currently available for Forward Edge-AI customers only and requires a compatible phone. Customers can enroll in the Service for an annual fee. The Service uses Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain Distributed Ledger technologies, and other techniques to identify and block nuisance calls and scams. The efficacy of certain features will vary depending on a number of factors related to the originating device, equipment, and technology used to create the scam or nuisance calls. The Service uses an adaptive classifier to continually evolve and adapt to new scams and nuisances.
The Gabriel® Crypto App includes localizations based on federal law and the laws of US states and territories which may or may not allow certain features like blocking or recording calls. For example, in some US states, it is not permissible to block political calls and thus those calls will ring on your phone unless you block them manually.
The Wi'Qaya Android version app requires accessibility access to analyze suspicious calls. The Gabriel® Crypto App's algorithms screen in-bound calls from UNKNOWN CALLERS only to determine scam and spam risks. Calls that are deemed safe are allowed to ring or are sent directly to your voicemail. UNKNOWN Callers are caller IDs that are not listed in your safe contacts directory and also not listed in our global scam database.
Unsafe calls are blocked and not allowed to ring your Android device. In order for this to function properly, our algorithms analyze the first 10 seconds of the caller’s voice to determine if it is a scam or a known scammer. This feature requires Android users to grant the Gabriel® Crypto App full access to your phone to process incoming calls.
Except when you grant us explicit permission, the Gabriel® Crypto App does not store or share safe call information on our servers, nor do we allow third-party access to any data for any reason.
The Gabriel® Crypto App includes an optional registration form requesting personally identifiable information. The information requested by this form is stored on your device and is not stored in a centralized database. For users who opt-in, the Gabriel® Crypto App uses Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bots to automatically navigate and file complaints on the eConsumer.gov complaint portals and that of your state. The Gabriel® Crypto App BOTs automatically delete any personally identifiable information once the compliant filing task is performed. Any fines collected are shared with our users. Also, certain information is also used when redeeming points earned through eGyft.com or cryptocurrency for referring other customers; TNS 3rd Party Account Backup service, or Rewarded Calls.
For users who opt-in for third party services by Sevis Systems or TNS, information you voluntarily provide is shared with these services for up to three years. Sevis Systems provides trusted caller ID services which enable Gabriel® Crypto App partners such as banks and mortgage companies to ring your phone to offer products and services. By answering those calls, you receive points that can be used within the Gabriel® Crypto App.
The TNS service enables you to save your profile to their blockchain in order to recover your Gabriel® Crypto App account if your phone is replaced. We cannot recover your account if you haven't subscribed for this service.
Completing the optional registration form is opt-in only and not required to use spam detection services. Your safe call information belongs to you and no one else.
Fees and Data Charges. You may be eligible for a free trial of Gabriel® Crypto App for a specific time period to which you may be auto-enrolled when you activate a new device. Should you choose to subscribe to the Gabriel® Crypto App after the free trial ends, monthly charges apply.
