5.3 Content Sharing (Planned Feature)

Anavrta plans to introduce features that allow users to optionally share notes, highlights, or curated reading lists with other users. When this feature becomes available, additional terms governing shared content will be published. Sharing will always be an explicit, opt-in action — your content will never be shared without your deliberate choice to do so.

5.4 Content Removal

We reserve the right to remove any User Content that, in our reasonable judgement, violates these Terms or applicable law. We will endeavour to notify you before removal except where immediate action is required to protect users or the Platform.

Focus Mode integrates AI-powered features including content summarisation, question answering, concept clarification, and quiz generation.

Always exercise independent judgement when acting on AI-generated summaries or explanations.
