Poopify - Terms of Use
Effective date: October 21, 2026
Version: 1.0
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Poopify mobile application (the “App”), including the optional Cloud Sync service. The App is developed and operated by Everton Carvalho Leite, an independent developer based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (“we”, “us”, “our”).
Contact: poopify.dev@gmail.com
By installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App. How we handle your personal data is described separately in our Privacy Policy.
1. What Poopify is (and what it is not)
Poopify is a personal journal that helps you record and review information about your bowel movements, menstrual cycle, symptoms and related notes.
Poopify is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
- Charts, statistics, averages, scales (such as the Bristol Stool Scale) and any other information in the App are for personal record-keeping and general information only.
- Do not use the App to make medical decisions. Always consult a qualified health professional about any symptom or health concern.
- Do not delay or disregard professional medical advice because of something you saw in the App. If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
2. Eligibility
- You may use the App in Local Mode at any age permitted by the app store from which you downloaded it.
- To create a Cloud Sync account you must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, whichever is higher. Cloud Sync accounts are only for adults: a parent or legal guardian may keep a child’s records in a separate profile, synchronized with the parent’s or guardian’s own account.
- If you record information about another person in the App (for example, a child in a separate profile), you confirm that you are that person’s parent, legal guardian or otherwise authorized to do so, and you are responsible for that information.
3. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms and the terms of the app store you downloaded it from (for example, the Google Play Terms of Service).
4. Your data belongs to you
- All information you enter into the App (“Your Data”) remains yours. We do not claim any ownership of Your Data.
- If you use Cloud Sync, you grant us only the limited permission necessary to store, transmit and synchronize Your Data between your devices, for the sole purpose of providing Cloud Sync to you.
- We do not sell Your Data, use it for advertising, or share it with third parties for their own purposes. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
5. Local Mode (default)
- By default, the App works in Local Mode: Your Data is stored only on your device and is not sent to us.
- In Local Mode, you are responsible for keeping backups of Your Data, for example using the export features in the App. If your device is lost, damaged, reset, or the App is uninstalled, data that was stored only on that device may be permanently lost, and we will not be able to recover it.
6. Cloud Sync (optional)
6.1 What it is
Cloud Sync is an optional feature that keeps a copy of Your Data in the cloud and synchronizes it between devices signed in to the same account. Cloud Sync is being made available gradually and may not be available in all countries or regions. It is currently offered free of charge. We may in the future offer additional cloud features (such as storing photos) as paid options. If we ever decide to charge for Cloud Sync itself, we will tell you in the App in advance, and you can always keep using the App in Local Mode.
6.2 Turning it on and off
- Cloud Sync is enabled only when you choose to turn it on, sign in, accept these Terms and give your explicit consent as described in the Privacy Policy.
- You can turn Cloud Sync off at any time in the App. When you do, Your Data remains on your device and the App continues to work in Local Mode.
- You can delete your Cloud Sync account and all Your Data stored in the cloud at any time, in the App (Menu > Privacy) or by following the instructions at https://etcho.github.io/poopify-legal/delete-account/.
6.3 Offline use
The App is designed to work without an internet connection. Changes made while offline are synchronized the next time a connection is available. Synchronization may be delayed or temporarily unavailable.
6.4 Conflicts between devices
If the same record is changed on more than one device before they synchronize, the App resolves the conflict automatically, generally keeping the most recent change. In rare cases, this may mean that one of the conflicting changes is not kept.
6.5 Availability and changes to the service
- Cloud Sync is provided by an independent developer using third-party infrastructure (Google Firebase). We do not guarantee that Cloud Sync will be uninterrupted, error-free or available at all times or in all countries.
- We may modify, suspend or limit Cloud Sync, in whole or in part, including making it unavailable in certain countries or regions where required by law, for security reasons, or for technical reasons.
- Cloud Sync is a free, optional service. We may discontinue Cloud Sync at any time, temporarily or permanently, with or without prior notice. Where reasonably possible, we will try to let you know in the App beforehand.
- If Cloud Sync is permanently discontinued, synchronization stops and Your Data stored in the cloud is deleted. Because the App always keeps a full copy of Your Data on each device that was syncing, discontinuing Cloud Sync does not, by itself, delete the data on your devices. This is one more reason to export a backup from time to time (Section 10).
6.6 Inactive accounts
If a Cloud Sync account is not used by any device for 24 consecutive months, we may delete the account and all Your Data stored in the cloud, to avoid keeping data that is no longer needed. Using Cloud Sync on any signed-in device counts as use. The data on your devices is not affected: if you use Cloud Sync again later, you sign in again and your device sends its data to the cloud again.
6.7 Fair use
Cloud Sync is intended for normal personal use. To protect the service, the App automatically pauses Cloud Sync for a while on a device that synchronizes far more often than normal use requires; your data stays on the device and synchronizes when the pause ends. We may also limit or suspend accounts that show abusive, automated or excessive use that harms the service or other users, after notifying you where reasonably possible.
6.8 Your account
- You sign in to Cloud Sync with a third-party account (such as your Google account). You are responsible for keeping that account secure.
- Anyone who has access to a device signed in to your account may be able to see Your Data. Protect your devices with a screen lock.
- Tell us immediately at poopify.dev@gmail.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- attempt to access data of other users, or any part of the service that you are not authorized to access;
- interfere with, overload, test the vulnerability of, or attempt to bypass the security of the App or Cloud Sync, except as part of responsible disclosure described below;
- access Cloud Sync by automated means or by any interface other than the App;
- reverse engineer the App for the purpose of breaching security or building a competing service, except where this restriction is prohibited by law;
- use the App for any unlawful purpose.
Responsible disclosure: if you find a security vulnerability, please report it privately to poopify.dev@gmail.com and give us reasonable time to fix it before disclosing it publicly.
8. Purchases
- The App is free and supported by advertising. You may purchase the optional “Remove Ads” upgrade.
- “Remove Ads” is a one-time purchase that removes ads in the App for as long as the App is offered and supported, on devices signed in to the app store account used for the purchase. It does not include any other features and is not linked to your Cloud Sync account.
- Purchases are processed by the app store (for example, Google Play). Refunds are handled under the app store’s refund policies and your statutory rights.
9. Advertising
The App displays ads provided by third parties (Google AdMob). Ads are never selected based on the health information you record in the App. Your choices about personalized ads are described in the Privacy Policy and in the consent screen shown by the App.
10. Disclaimers
- The App and Cloud Sync are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
- We do not warrant that the App will meet your needs, that it will be free of errors, or that Your Data will never be lost. We strongly recommend that you periodically export a backup of Your Data, even when Cloud Sync is enabled.
11. Limitation of liability
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App or Cloud Sync.
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to the App or Cloud Sync is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD 50.
- Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or willful misconduct, or under mandatory consumer protection laws.
12. Your statutory rights as a consumer
If you are a consumer, you may have rights under the laws of your country of residence that cannot be waived by contract, for example under the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (Código de Defesa do Consumidor), the consumer protection laws of the European Union and its member states, or the laws of the United Kingdom. Nothing in these Terms limits those rights. If any part of these Terms conflicts with such mandatory rights, that part does not apply to you to the extent of the conflict.
13. Termination
- You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. If you use Cloud Sync, also delete your Cloud Sync account (Section 6.2) if you want Your Data removed from the cloud. Uninstalling the App does not delete your cloud account.
- We may suspend or terminate your access to Cloud Sync if you materially breach these Terms. Where reasonably possible, we will notify you first and give you the opportunity to export Your Data. Termination of Cloud Sync never deletes the data stored on your devices.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will notify you in the App before it takes effect and, where required by law, ask for your agreement again. If you do not agree with the new Terms, you may stop using Cloud Sync and delete your account. The App’s Local Mode will continue to work. The version and effective date at the top show when these Terms were last changed. Previous versions remain available at this address followed by the version number (for example, https://etcho.github.io/poopify-legal/terms-of-use/1.0/).
15. Governing law and disputes
- These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
- If you are a consumer, you also benefit from the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence where the law gives you that right.
- Before starting any formal proceedings, please contact us at poopify.dev@gmail.com so we can try to resolve the issue informally.
16. General
- If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
- Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
- You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer our rights and obligations to a successor that continues to operate the App, provided your rights are not reduced; we will notify you if this happens.
- These Terms may be translated into other languages. In case of conflict between a translation and the English version, the English version prevails, except where the law of your country requires otherwise.
