Legal
These terms govern the Private Health Journal app and this website. The disclaimer in the second section is the part to read even if you read nothing else.
Effective date: [TODO: effective date pending] · Publisher and data controller: [TODO: legal entity pending], [TODO: registered address pending] · Contact: [TODO: contact email pending]
These terms form an agreement between you and [TODO: legal entity pending], [TODO: registered address pending], covering the Private Health Journal app, this website and the services behind them. By creating an account or using the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.
No publishing entity has been registered yet; the party named above is a placeholder, and this text has not been reviewed by counsel.
This app is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. It does not replace professional medical advice.
Its purpose is informational, educational and organisational: a private journal for notes you record, check-ups you log and papers you keep in one place. It performs no automatic diagnosis, prescribes no treatment, monitors no disease and issues no clinical recommendation. In the stores it is listed as a health and fitness app and declared as a non-regulated health app.
Any figure the app calculates comes from published public formulas and scales. A result is not a diagnosis and means nothing on its own. You remain the decision-maker: always consult a qualified healthcare professional before acting on anything you see here, and call your local emergency number in an emergency.
Reminders, dates and reference ranges shown in the app are organisational and educational. They are not instructions, and the app never tells you what to do about your health.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, for your own journal and for the journals of people you are entitled to keep entries for. The app is licensed, not sold.
You may not sell or sublicense the app, and you may not reverse-engineer, decompile or attempt to derive its source code, except where mandatory law expressly permits it.
You are responsible for your credentials and for the lock on your device — screen lock, app PIN or biometrics. Anyone who can unlock your device can read what is on it.
Entries that never leave your device exist only there. Because the app's data is excluded from device backups by design, losing the device without an export and without cloud sync means those entries are gone. We cannot restore what we never received.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy of everything entered into the journal, whether you typed it or scanned it. Text recognition can misread a printed page; check every recognised value against the original before you save it, and keep the original paper.
The app stores what you give it. It does not verify your entries against a laboratory, a clinic or a registry, and it does not correct them.
Sharing is your decision, made one share at a time: you choose what to include and how long the link lives. A share expires by itself, but a recipient may already have read or saved what you sent, and an expiry cannot take that back.
Share only with people you intend to have the information, and only entries you are entitled to share.
Some features are offered under paid plans. Reading your own journal, exporting a copy of it, deleting your account, and emergency information are free on every plan.
A subscription bought through the App Store or Google Play is billed by that store under its own terms, and is cancelled or refunded through that store rather than by us.
Do not use the app to keep entries you have no right to keep, to break the law, to interfere with the service or with the security of other people's accounts, or to present anything the app displays to another person as a professional opinion.
The app and the service are provided as they are and as they are available. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, or that a synced entry will always be reachable.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, [TODO: legal entity pending] is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for data you had not exported, or for any decision about health taken on the basis of what the app displayed.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and nothing here affects the rights you hold as a consumer under mandatory law. The final wording of this section is subject to legal review.
You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time; the route is on our account deletion page. We may suspend or end an account that breaches these terms, and will say why unless the law forbids it.
These terms are governed by the law of [TODO: governing law pending]. The mandatory consumer-protection rules of your own country of residence continue to apply to you regardless.
We update the effective date at the top when these terms change, and tell you in the app when a change is material. Questions about these terms: [TODO: contact email pending].
