The Service allows users to create and join team sessions without requiring registration for every participant.

3. User Accounts

Session Creators: Users who create sessions must authenticate with Google, GitHub, Jira, or LinkedIn single sign-on.

Session Participants: Users joining sessions do not require an account but must complete CAPTCHA verification.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of session codes and any actions taken within your sessions.

Data Deletion: Session creators can leave sessions at any time. Sessions expire automatically after 24 hours of inactivity.
