1. OUR SERVICES
The Services provide a private journaling and reflection experience designed to help users record meaningful experiences, reflect on them over time, and observe patterns (including optional categorization and impact selections). The Services also include an optional feature that allows users to share specific experiences with other users on a private, one-to-one basis (“Witness Communities”). Shared experiences are only accessible to the recipient(s) selected by the sharing user and can be revoked at any time.
The information provided through the Services is for general informational and personal reflection purposes only. The Services are not intended to provide medical, mental health, therapeutic, legal, or professional advice. You agree that your use of the Services is at your sole risk.
The Services are operated from the United States. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other jurisdictions. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local laws.
The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA, FISMA, or GLBA. If your activities would subject us to such laws, you may not use the Services.

7. SUBSCRIPTIONS
Billing and Renewal of Mobile App Premium Subscription
Your subscription will continue and automatically renew unless canceled. By subscribing, you authorize the applicable app store (e.g., Apple App Store) to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the rate indicated at the time of purchase, plus applicable taxes, and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.
What Happens When You Cancel (Premium Access & Features)
If you cancel your premium subscription, your premium access will remain active until the end of the current paid billing period (unless your app store’s policy states otherwise). After your paid period ends:
• Your account will remain active (unless you separately delete it).
• Features designated as “premium” may become unavailable or revert to free-tier limits.
• Your existing entries and content will remain in your account (unless you delete them or delete your account).
• If premium features include expanded storage, backup, export, analytics/insights, or other premium functionality, those premium features may stop at the end of the billing period; however, we will not delete your content solely because you canceled. Any retention/deletion processes are governed by our Privacy Policy and your account actions.
Free Trial of Premium App Version
We may offer a free premium trial to eligible new users. Unless canceled before the trial ends, the trial may convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period. Free trial eligibility and duration are disclosed at sign-up and may vary.

You can cancel your premium subscription at any time by logging into your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings and following the instructions to cancel. Cancellation requests submitted through the app store take effect according to the store’s policy.

Contributions created within child profiles are treated as Contributions of the controlling adult account holder for purposes of responsibility, management, and enforcement of these Legal Terms.
12. CONTRIBUTION LICENSE

Limited license to operate the Services: By creating or uploading Contributions, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, and display your Contributions only as needed to provide the Services to you and to deliver content to recipients you explicitly authorize (for example: saving your entries, syncing across devices, generating your requested views/insights, and sharing a selected experience with a chosen recipient).
No commercial exploitation: This license does not give us the right to sell, rent, advertise with, market, publicly distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit your private journal entries or personal media content.
