MagicChatbox Terms of Service (TOS)
Effective as of Day 22 | Month 03 | Year 2025

📜 MagicChatbox Terms of Service (TOS)

These Terms of Service govern your use of MagicChatBox. They are intended to ensure a respectful, lawful, and safe environment for all users. They apply when you run or interact with the software and do not cover modification or distribution rights—which are addressed in the separate Software License Agreement.


Caution

1. Data Collection and Monitoring

  • 1.1 MagicChatBox uses data exclusively to monitor compliance with these terms, including VRChat user’s ID.
  • 1.2 This data is not used for marketing, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to enforcing these terms and is disposed after use.
  • 1.3 If violations are detected through monitoring (we mostly do this within VRChat), MagicChatBox reserves the right to exclude users.

Additional Note on Data Collection:

To moderate user behavior in the game, MagicChatBox identifies users based solely on their VRChat user ID. To protect your privacy and ensure minimal data collection, MagicChatBox does not require users to log in or provide additional sensitive personal information.

To ensure a secure, reliable, and fair moderation process, MagicChatBox performs the following limited check:

  • MagicChatBox verifies the existence of the folder:
    AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat\OSC
    
  • The presence of this folder indicates that OSC is enabled, and that MagicChatBox is actively streaming data to the VRChat application, activating the applicability of these Terms of Service.
  • MagicChatBox scans only the immediate subfolders within the above directory to retrieve the VRChat user ID, represented by the subfolder name. This VRChat user ID is checked against our API solely for compliance purposes.
  • No additional scanning or analysis is performed beyond verifying the existence and name of this subfolder, We don't even look into the content of those folders.

Note: The VRChat user ID used for moderation is distinct from your actual VRChat display name, further safeguarding your personal privacy.
