Today's entry is ready to record. Make it as short or as rambling as you like.
Draft. This is a starting point written to match how the app works today. It is not legal advice. Have a lawyer review it before launch.
These terms are an agreement between you and Eli Andrew Bostrack ("we", "us") about your use of Søren (the "app"). By creating an account you agree to them.
You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you need permission from a parent or guardian, who also agrees to these terms. You must give us accurate information when you sign up.
Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us at hello@sorenjournal.com if you think someone else has accessed it. You can delete your account at any time in Settings.
Don't use the app to break the law, to try to get into other people's accounts, to interfere with or overload our systems, or to copy or resell the service.
We may change, pause or stop parts of the app. We'll give reasonable notice of major changes when we can. The app is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.
You can stop using the app and delete your account whenever you want. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for loss of videos stored on your device. In any case, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $50 if you haven't paid anything.
These terms are governed by the laws of Wisconsin, USA.
If we update these terms, we'll show the new version in the app and update the effective date. Continuing to use the app means you accept the update.
Eli Andrew Bostrack, hello@sorenjournal.com
Draft. This describes what the app actually collects today. It is not legal advice. Have a lawyer review it before launch.
Søren is a private video journal. The most personal part, your videos, never leaves your device.
Your videos, their titles, descriptions, thumbnails and cover images are saved in your browser's storage on your device. We never receive, see or store them.
Only to run your account: signing you in, syncing your settings and folders, keeping the service secure, and emailing you about your account (confirming your email, resetting your password, important changes). We don't sell your information or use it for advertising.
As long as your account exists. When you delete your account, we delete your login, profile, photo, settings and folders right away. Provider backups may keep copies for up to 7 days before they expire.
Depending on where you live, you may have more rights, for example under GDPR in the EU and UK or CCPA in California. Contact us to use them.
The app isn't for children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has an account, we'll delete it.
Data is encrypted in transit, and access rules mean each person can only reach their own records. No system is perfectly secure. Since your videos live on your device, keeping that device locked protects them too.
If we change this policy, we'll update the effective date and let you know in the app.
