Trust and proof
Updated: March 27, 2026
This page is where the grown-up questions get straight answers. Security, privacy, ownership, release proof, and access rules all live here without turning the whole product into corporate wallpaper.
Chord Draft was created by Thomas Divine Smith II and is operated by CAD Guardian LLC. Founder-owned access, release, and IP controls are intentionally visible so the deepest product decisions stay with the people actually carrying the vision.
The app supports server-enforced access policy by surface, including generation, Studio, and sharing. Founder allowlists remain explicit, auditable exceptions rather than weird hidden bypasses.
Security
Environment-managed secrets, admin access controls, operator audit visibility, and server-enforced policy gates are part of the current baseline.
Privacy
Privacy handling covers prompts, telemetry, retention, operator access, and creator-access enforcement. Public terms and privacy language are intentionally aligned with the runtime control model.
Release proof
Desktop and mobile quality are treated as separate proof lanes. Release confidence comes from browser-backed checks, not somebody saying “it should be fine.”
Trust review
Buyers and partners can request current legal, privacy, access-policy, founder-ownership, and operational-readiness answers without digging through the whole site.
Pilot and licensing discussion
Team plans, pilot usage, licensing, and partner-safe packaging should be handled directly and explicitly, not guessed from artist-facing copy.
These public artifacts give legal, security, and buyer review a stable place to start before deeper diligence.
