04No Guarantee of Accuracy

AI-generated content is inherently probabilistic and may be incorrect, misleading, incomplete, or entirely inapplicable to your situation. We make NO representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated observation, classification, or chapter summary, or its suitability for your specific circumstances. You should NOT make significant personal, medical, financial, legal, or life decisions based on content generated by Hidden Self.

05Your Responsibility and Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge and agree that: • You use Hidden Self entirely at your own risk • You are solely responsible for how you interpret, act upon, or share content generated by the app • You will not use the app as a substitute for professional mental health care • You will seek professional help if you are experiencing mental health difficulties • The reflective nature of journaling may surface difficult feelings — you assume responsibility for managing your emotional wellbeing

06Guest (Anonymous) Use and Accounts

Hidden Self allows you to use the app immediately without creating an account. Your data is tied to an anonymous, device-specific identifier in this case. If you do not create a full account (with an email and password), you accept the risk that access to your data may be lost if you lose, reset, or replace your device, or delete and reinstall the app. Creating an account allows your data to persist independently of any single device. Purchasing a subscription requires a full account with an email and password — this protects you from losing access to a paid subscription if something happens to an anonymous, device-only session.

07Subscription and Payments

Free tier features may be modified, reduced, or discontinued at any time with or without notice.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
