Terms of Use

As of July 2026

Organisation and Reminder Tool

Kindlume is a personal tool that helps you stay mindful of the important people in your life. You can add notes, reminders, and timeline entries to organise your relationships and interactions. Kindlume is not a messenger, not a counselling service, and not a social network. The app does not send messages, does not connect you with other users, and does not facilitate communication between people. All features are designed to manage your own thoughts and memories privately and locally on your device. Kindlume is purely an organisation and reminder tool for personal use. The app does not replace professional advice, therapy, or care. It is an aid that helps you remember important people and events.

No Medical, Psychological, Legal, or Financial Advice

Kindlume does not provide medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice. The app is solely a tool for organising personal notes and reminders. Content you enter in Kindlume consists of personal records and does not in any way replace professional advice from qualified experts. If you have health, psychological, legal, or financial questions, please consult appropriate professionals such as doctors, therapists, lawyers, or financial advisors. Kindlume is not designed to make diagnoses, recommend treatments, provide legal opinions, or guide financial decisions. The app assumes no liability for decisions made on the basis of information stored in Kindlume. All responsibility for interpreting and using your own notes rests with you.

No Guarantee Against Data Loss

Kindlume provides no guarantee against data loss. Since all data is stored exclusively on your iPhone and there is no cloud backup, responsibility for data backup lies entirely with you. If your device is lost, stolen, damaged, or the app is deleted without you having created a backup, your data is irretrievably lost. Kindlume operates no servers that could hold a copy of your data and therefore cannot restore any data. We strongly recommend creating local backups regularly and keeping them in a safe place. Kindlume's backup feature allows you to encrypt and save your data. Please use this feature regularly to avoid data loss. Kindlume is not liable for the loss of data resulting from the failure to create a backup.

Password Cannot Be Recovered

When you create a password-protected backup in Kindlume, you set your own password that encrypts the backup. This password is not stored in the app and is not transmitted to us. If you forget the password, there is no way to decrypt the backup or recover the password. Since we never receive either the password or the backup, we cannot provide support for forgotten passwords. There is no password reset mechanism and no customer service that can grant you access to an encrypted backup. Please keep your backup password safe and choose one that you can remember easily. If you are unsure whether you will remember the password, write it down in a secure location outside the app.

Local Responsibility for Content

You are solely responsible for the content you enter in Kindlume. Since all data is stored locally on your device and we have no access to your content, we cannot assume responsibility for the accuracy, legality, or appropriateness of your entries. Ensure that the content you enter does not violate applicable law and does not infringe on the rights of third parties. Since Kindlume does not transmit data to servers, there is no way for us to review or moderate your content. Full control and responsibility rests with you. If you share the app with others or make your device accessible to others, be aware that they may be able to access your Kindlume data unless you have enabled App Lock.

Plus via Apple StoreKit

Kindlume offers additional features under the designation "Kindlume Plus." These features can be purchased through an in-app purchase processed via Apple StoreKit. The purchase, billing, and renewal of the Plus subscription are managed exclusively by Apple. Kindlume has no influence over pricing, payment processing, or subscription cancellation. When you decide to purchase Kindlume Plus, the purchase process is handled entirely by Apple. Kindlume receives neither your payment data nor personal information such as credit card details. Apple only shares with us the information necessary to provide the purchased feature, such as a purchase confirmation and the expiration status of the subscription. For any questions about payments or your subscription, please contact Apple Support.

Cancellation via Apple ID

Cancellation of Kindlume Plus is handled exclusively through the Apple subscription settings on your iPhone. Go to Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions and select Kindlume Plus to cancel the subscription. Kindlume itself cannot cancel subscriptions as the process is managed entirely by Apple. When you cancel the subscription, you retain access to Plus features until the end of the current billing period. After that, only the core features are available to you. Your entered data remains fully preserved and accessible even after cancellation — no content is lost. Cancellation affects only the Plus features, not your stored data.

Restoring Purchases

If you install Kindlume on a new device or reinstall the app, you can restore your previous Plus purchases within the app. Go to the app's settings and select the "Restore Purchases" option. Apple will then verify your Apple ID and activate the Plus features if an active subscription exists. This process is handled entirely by Apple. There are no additional costs for restoring purchases. You can restore your purchases on any device linked to the same Apple ID used for the original purchase. If restoration does not work, please contact Apple Support, as Kindlume has no influence over the Apple purchase process.

No Lifetime Offer

Kindlume does not offer a lifetime subscription. There is no one-time payment that grants unlimited access to Plus features. Plus is available exclusively as a recurring subscription through Apple. We made this decision deliberately to ensure the long-term maintenance and development of the app. A lifetime subscription would mean that we would have to bear server costs, maintenance, and development indefinitely for a one-time payment, which is not sustainable. We opt for a fair subscription model that gives you full control: you can cancel at any time if you no longer need the Plus features, and you only pay for the time you actually use the features.

Changes and Availability

Kindlume reserves the right to change, add, or remove features of the app at any time. The availability of individual features may change due to updates, technical requirements, or legal regulations. However, we will endeavour to communicate changes transparently and maintain the core functionality of the app. If material changes are made to the Plus features, we will inform you. The app is provided within the scope of technical possibilities and its current state of development. Kindlume provides no warranty for uninterrupted availability, freedom from errors, or compatibility of the app with all iOS versions or devices. In the event of compatibility issues with new iOS versions, we will endeavour to provide an update promptly.

Support

If you have questions about these Terms of Use or about using Kindlume, you can contact us at tshfm78@gmail.com. We endeavour to respond to enquiries promptly. Please describe your concern as precisely as possible so that we can help you effectively. For questions about payments, subscriptions, or cancellations, please contact Apple Support, as these processes are handled entirely by Apple. For technical issues, it helps if you include the iOS version, app version, and your device model so that we can narrow down the problem more quickly.
