1.Acceptance
These Terms of Service are a contract between you and the OwnDay team. By creating an OwnDay account, signing in, or otherwise using the service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use OwnDay.
We've written these Terms in plain language. They are still a legal agreement and we mean what they say.
2.Who can use OwnDay
OwnDay is designed to be set up by a parent or legal guardian and used together with a child between five and nine years old. To create an account you must:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have the legal authority to enter into this agreement.
- Be the parent or legal guardian of any child whose profile you create inside OwnDay, with the right to consent to the processing of that child's information.
OwnDay does not offer accounts to children. A child uses the service through a profile inside your account, on a device you control. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children outside the data you, the parent, enter on their behalf. If you believe a child has created their own account in violation of these Terms, contact [email protected] and we will close it.
3.Your account
You agree to provide accurate information when you sign up and to keep it current — in particular, an email address you can actually receive mail at, because we use email for password resets and security notices.
One account, one parent. You are responsible for what happens under your account, including any actions taken by a child or another adult to whom you've given access. If you share a household device with a co-parent, we recommend a single shared OwnDay account rather than passing credentials between accounts.
Keep your password to yourself. Do not write it down on the same device you use OwnDay on. If you suspect your account has been accessed without your permission, change your password immediately and email [email protected] so we can review session activity.
4.Parent PIN security
OwnDay protects the parent area with a 4-digit PIN. This is a usability feature — it stops a child handing the device back to you from poking around in settings — not a high-security lock. Specifically:
- The PIN gates access to settings, billing, child-profile management, history exports, and account deletion.
- Choose a PIN your child cannot easily guess (don't use birthdays or "1234"). Change it if you notice your child has watched you enter it.
- If the PIN is entered incorrectly five times in a row, the parent area is locked for ten minutes. Five more failed attempts after that lock it for an hour.
- You can reset a forgotten PIN by signing in with your account password and following the prompt on the locked screen.
- The PIN is not a substitute for the device's own passcode or screen lock. We strongly recommend you set a passcode on the device itself.
- You are responsible for the consequences of sharing your PIN with anyone.
5.Acceptable use
OwnDay is a small, calm product. Don't use it to do harmful things. In particular, you agree not to:
- Use OwnDay to harass, exploit, or endanger a child — including a child whose profile you control.
- Reverse-engineer, scrape, or otherwise attempt to extract data about other users.
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of OwnDay infrastructure without our prior written permission.
- Use OwnDay to send unsolicited communications, spam, malware, or any unlawful content.
- Resell, sublicense, or commercialise OwnDay or any portion of the service.
- Use OwnDay in any way that violates applicable child-protection, data-protection, or consumer law.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules. Where we can, we'll let you know first and give you a chance to explain or fix the issue; for serious or repeated violations we may act immediately.
6.Pricing and early access
During OwnDay's early-access period — beginning at launch on June 16, 2026 — the service is free for all parents. We expect to introduce a paid tier in the future. When we do, every existing account will receive at least 30 days' notice by email, including the new pricing, what's free, and what's paid. Continued free use during early access is at our discretion, but we will not begin charging anyone without express, opt-in consent at the point of payment.
If we ever introduce paid features, you authorise us to charge only the payment method you provide at the point of purchase, only for the amount and frequency shown to you at that point. Taxes, where applicable, are added in line with your billing country.
7.Cancellation, export, and account deletion
You can leave OwnDay at any time. We aim to make this straightforward and self-serve.
Exporting your data
Before you close your account, you can download a complete machine-readable copy of everything we hold for you: parent profile, every child profile, every routine, and every completion record. Go to Settings → Export data and we'll generate a JSON file you can save locally. There's no limit on how often you can do this.
Deleting a child profile
From Settings → Children → [name] → Delete profile. The profile, its routines, and its completion history are removed from the live database within minutes, and from encrypted backups within 90 days on their normal rotation. Deleting one child does not affect any other profile or your parent account.
Deleting your whole account
From Settings → Delete account. We'll confirm with a re-entry of your password, then schedule the deletion. We hold the account in a recoverable state for 14 days in case you change your mind — sign back in during that window to cancel. After 14 days, all account data is permanently removed from production systems within a further 30 days, and from encrypted backups within 90 days. We may retain minimal records (an email hash, the date of deletion) for up to 12 months where we're legally required to demonstrate compliance.
We don't ask why you're leaving and we don't try to retain you with offers or friction. If we did something wrong, though, we'd appreciate a quick note at [email protected] so we can do better next time.
8.Intellectual property
The OwnDay name, the sun mark, the app interface, copy, and source code are owned by the OwnDay team and protected by intellectual-property law. You may use OwnDay for personal, family use under these Terms; you don't get a licence to copy, redistribute, or build derivative products from it.
The content you enter — routine names, step names, your child's profile — remains yours. By using OwnDay you grant us a narrow licence to store, process, and display that content as needed to operate the service for you. We don't use it for anything else. See the Privacy Policy for details.
9.Service availability
We try to keep OwnDay up at all times, but we don't guarantee a specific uptime. The service may be unavailable for planned maintenance, for emergency fixes, or because of issues with upstream infrastructure providers. Where we can, we'll announce planned downtime at least 24 hours in advance via the in-app banner.
10.Changes to the service
OwnDay will evolve. We may add features, remove features, and change how existing features work. For changes that meaningfully reduce what you can do today, we'll email you at least 30 days in advance. For everything else — bug fixes, refinements, small additions — we'll just ship it.
11.Disclaimers
OwnDay is a routine app. It is not a medical, therapeutic, behavioural-health, or educational service. It is not a substitute for paediatric, psychological, or special-needs advice from a qualified professional. Do not rely on OwnDay for any safety-critical purpose.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, OwnDay is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied — including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Some jurisdictions don't allow the exclusion of implied warranties; in those jurisdictions, the above exclusion may not apply to you.
12.Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the OwnDay team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) OwnDay.
Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) €50.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — including, in the EU and UK, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, and for any consumer rights that cannot be waived.
13.Governing law & dispute resolution
Placeholder — confirm with counsel before launch.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them will be resolved by the competent courts of Kyiv, Ukraine. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protections of any mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence, and you may also bring a claim in the courts of your country of residence.
Before going to court, we'd much rather hear from you directly — please write to [email protected] with the details, and we'll do our best to resolve the issue within 30 days.
14.Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms when the service or the law changes. For material changes — anything that materially reduces your rights or expands our authority over your account — we will email every account holder at least 30 days before the new Terms take effect. Continuing to use OwnDay after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't, you can export your data and delete your account first, free of charge, as described in section 7.
Minor edits (typos, clarifications, broken links) we'll make silently. The "Last updated" date above always reflects the latest revision.
15.Contact
For anything related to these Terms, your account, or the service in general — email [email protected]. A real person on the OwnDay team reads every message; we aim to respond within two business days.
