Plain English Agreement

Terms of Service.
Simple & Respectful.

What You Need to Know

The short version of our commitments.

✍️
Content Ownership

Your memories, doodles, and messages belong to you.

We do not claim ownership of any text, photos, doodles, audio clips, or scraps you share on Tangle. You keep all copyright and intellectual property rights to your work.

💡 Plain English

We are the paper and pencil. Whatever you draw or write remains 100% yours.

🔐
End-to-End Encryption

We cannot read your private communications.

Because your one-on-one and group messages are cryptographically end-to-end encrypted on your device, Tangle servers have no mathematical ability to decrypt or inspect the contents of your conversations.

💡 Plain English

Even if legally compelled, we cannot provide private message transcripts because we do not hold your encryption keys.

🛡️
Acceptable Use

Don't be a jerk. Keep it safe and kind.

You agree not to use Tangle to harass, threaten, spam, distribute malware, or engage in unlawful activities. We reserve the right to revoke account access for abusive behavior or attempts to disrupt our services.

💡 Plain English

Treat others with kindness, respect personal boundaries, and don't try to break the app.

🚪
Account & Deletion

Leave anytime with complete data wiping.

You can delete your account and associated session keys at any time directly in the app Settings. Upon deletion, your blinded identity token, active sessions, and profile data are permanently erased from our databases.

💡 Plain English

No dark patterns. If you choose to delete your account, your data is gone.
