Terms
The short version, then the long one
Last updated 27 July 2026
Your writing is yours. Use Unfould for your own journal, do not try to break it, and understand that a backup is a convenience rather than a guarantee. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.
Agreeing to these terms
Using Unfould means accepting these terms, between you and [LEGAL ENTITY NAME]. If you do not accept them, please do not use the app. You need to be at least 13, and old enough to enter a contract where you live.
Your writing belongs to you
Everything you put into Unfould stays yours. You give us no ownership of it, and no licence beyond the narrow permission needed to run the service — storing your entries, syncing them to your devices, and, if you switch it on, passing an entry to a reflection provider so it can write you a response.
That permission exists only to operate the app. It ends when you delete the content or your account.
Your account
You are responsible for keeping access to your account secure, including the passcode you set inside the app. App Lock protects your journal from someone holding your phone; it does not replace a passcode on the device itself.
Tell us promptly if you think someone else has got into your account.
What we ask of you
- Use Unfould for your own personal journal.
- Do not attempt to reach anyone else's entries, or to probe, overload, or reverse-engineer the service.
- Do not use it to store anything unlawful, or anything you have no right to hold.
- Do not resell access or run the service on someone else's behalf without our written agreement.
Reflections
Reflections are generated by a language model. They are prompts for thought, nothing more. They are not advice — medical, psychological, legal, financial, or otherwise — and should not be treated as any of those things.
If you are in distress, please talk to a person rather than an app. Unfould is not a crisis service and cannot help in an emergency.
Backups, and being honest about them
Sync exists so your journal survives a lost phone, and we take it seriously. But no backup is perfect, and we cannot promise your data will never be lost.
Unfould lets you export your entire journal as plain text at any time. If your writing matters to you — and we hope it does — keep your own copy.
Paid features
Some features may require a subscription. Where they do, the price and billing period are shown before you buy, and payment is handled by Apple or Google rather than by us. Subscriptions renew until you cancel, which you do through your app store account. Refunds follow the store’s policy, not ours, because they hold the payment.
Ending things
You can stop using Unfould whenever you like, and delete your account from inside the app. That removes your entries, photographs, and recordings, and it cannot be reversed.
We may suspend an account that is breaking these terms or putting the service at risk. Unless the law prevents it, we will tell you why and give you a chance to export your writing first.
The legal necessities
Unfould is provided as it is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude implied warranties, and our total liability to you is limited to what you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.
These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], and the courts of [JURISDICTION] have exclusive jurisdiction — save that a consumer may bring proceedings where they live.
Changes
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights, we will give you notice in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use Unfould afterwards means accepting the new version.
