Terms & Conditions
Last updated: January 10, 2026 — Effective: January 10, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using BeSeen (“the App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
2. Description of Service
BeSeen is a personal mood journaling application that allows you to:
- Record daily mood check-ins with tags, notes, photos, and voice recordings.
- Set daily reminder notifications.
- Optionally connect with one partner to share check-ins and exchange messages.
- View insights based on your mood history.
The App is designed as an offline-first tool. Core journaling features work without an internet connection or account.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age to use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement.
4. User Accounts
4.1 Account Creation
An account is not required to use core journaling features. An account is required only if you wish to use partner features (sharing check-ins, sending messages, connecting with a partner).
You may create an account using Apple Sign-In or email verification.
4.2 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and account credentials. We are not liable for unauthorized access to your account resulting from your failure to secure your device.
4.3 Account Deletion
You may delete your account at any time from within the App. Account deletion permanently removes all server-stored data associated with your account, including your profile, partnerships, shared check-ins, messages, and uploaded media.
5. User Content
5.1 Ownership
You retain full ownership of all content you create in the App, including check-in entries, notes, photos, and voice recordings (“User Content”).
5.2 License to Operate
By sharing User Content through partner features, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, transmit, and display that content solely for the purpose of providing the partner sharing service to you and your connected partner. This license terminates when you delete the shared content or your account.
5.3 Content Responsibility
You are solely responsible for the content you create and share. You agree not to use the App to share content that is:
- Illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, or harassing.
- Infringing on any third party's intellectual property or privacy rights.
- Malicious, including malware or harmful code.
6. Partner Features
6.1 Partnerships
You may connect with one partner at a time by exchanging a unique partner code. Both users must consent to the partnership.
6.2 Sharing
When you share a check-in with your partner, you choose the level of detail to share (mood only, summary, or everything). You can change your sharing level or stop sharing at any time.
6.3 Dissolving Partnerships
Either partner may dissolve the partnership at any time. Dissolution removes shared check-in data and messages from our servers.
6.4 Communication Features
The App provides messaging features between partners, including replies, buzz notifications, and Invisible Ink (encrypted ephemeral messages). You agree to use these features respectfully and not for harassment or abuse.
7. Subscriptions and Payments
The App may offer premium features (“BeSeen+”) through in-app subscriptions. Free features will remain available without a subscription. Subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Billing terms, renewal, and cancellation are governed by the respective platform's terms. Refund requests are handled by the respective platform according to their refund policies.
8. Acceptable Use
