Conditions d’utilisation

Welcome to Mindful Journal AI ("Aura," "the App"). By accessing or using our application, you ("User," "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). Please read them carefully before using the App.

1. AI Limitations and Accuracy

Mindful Journal AI is powered by artificial intelligence. While Aura aims to provide insightful reflections and helpful suggestions, AI technology has inherent limitations:

• Potential for Inaccuracies: AI-generated content may sometimes contain inaccuracies, errors, outdated information, or omissions.
• Not Definitive Facts: Information and analysis provided by Aura should not be considered as definitive facts, professional advice, or undisputed truth.
• Understanding Nuances: AI may not always fully understand the complexities, subtleties, or emotional nuances of your unique situation or written entries.

Aura is intended as a tool for self-reflection and exploration. It is not an infallible source of guidance.

2. User Responsibility and Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Your use of Mindful Journal AI is at your sole risk.
• You are solely responsible for any decisions, actions, interpretations, or conclusions you make based on the content or suggestions provided by the App.
• The creators and providers of Mindful Journal AI shall not be liable for any direct or indirect consequences, damages, distress, or any form of loss that may arise from your use of this service or reliance on its content.

3. Not a Substitute for Professional Help

Mindful Journal AI is designed to support general emotional well-being, self-awareness, and stress management. It is explicitly NOT a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or therapy from a qualified healthcare provider, psychiatrist, psychologist, counselor, or other licensed mental health professional.

If you are experiencing severe emotional distress, a mental health crisis, or symptoms of a potential mental health condition, you MUST seek help from a licensed therapist, counselor, doctor, or appropriate emergency services immediately. Do not rely on Aura as your primary source of support for serious mental health issues.

4. Data Storage, Privacy, and Security

• Firebase Backend: Your account information is managed by Firebase Authentication (email/password and/or Google Sign-In). Journal entries, AI reflections, and related metadata are stored in Firebase Firestore and associated cloud storage.
• Encryption at Rest: Diary text and AI analysis are encrypted in your browser with AES-256-GCM using a per-account master key. The key is stored on our servers in wrapped form and loaded into your session when you sign in. This is not end-to-end encryption—our services can access content when needed (for example, search indexing, AI analysis, or support).
• Search Index: A word-frequency index derived from your entry text (and AI summaries when present) is stored on our servers to enable in-app search.
• Image Attachments: Images you attach to entries are uploaded and stored in our media storage (encrypted at rest).
• Firebase Security: We configure security rules so users can only access their own data. Overall security also depends on your password strength and device security.
• Recovery Key: You may optionally enable a recovery key (BIP39 mnemonic) to regain access to your encryption key if you lose your password.
• AI Processing: Diary content is sent to a third-party AI model (Google Gemini API) for analysis. Review Google's privacy policies for how they handle data.
• No Sale of Personal Data: We do not sell your personal identification information or journal content.
• Sensitive Information: Avoid entering highly sensitive data you would not want potentially exposed; do not reuse passwords from other critical accounts.
• Account Deletion: You may delete your account from the Profile Page. This permanently deletes your authentication record and associated diary logs; this is irreversible.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

Paid subscriptions are processed by third-party payment providers (Paddle for international customers and FreeKassa for customers in supported regions). Billing terms, renewals, and refunds are described in our Refund Policy. By subscribing, you agree to the applicable provider's checkout terms in addition to these Terms.

6. Age Requirement

Mindful Journal AI is intended for users 13 years of age and older. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement (or, if you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, that you have parental or guardian consent).

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

• Local Storage: We use browser local storage to remember analytics consent preferences.
• Firebase SDK: Firebase SDKs may use IndexedDB, tokens, and similar mechanisms for authentication and offline persistence.

8. Intended Use and Prohibited Conduct

The App is intended for personal, non-commercial use for journaling, self-reflection, and exploring general stress-management techniques. You agree not to use the App for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could harm, disable, overburden, or impair the App or its AI services.

9. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, logging in, or otherwise accessing or using Mindful Journal AI, you signify your understanding, acknowledgment, and acceptance of these Terms in their entirety.

10. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

11. Contact

For questions about these Terms, contact us through our support page or the contact information provided in the application.
