Privacy & Terms

1. Introduction

Welcome to Verse, a service provided by Subcreation Design LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”). We’re committed to respecting your privacy while offering a creative space for journaling, writing prompts, and progress tracking. By using Verse, you acknowledge and agree to these combined Privacy & Terms.

2. Privacy Policy

2.1 Data Collection & Storage

Personal Content: Your writing and related data are stored primarily via Apple’s iCloud service, subject to Apple’s then-current privacy policies and terms. We do not access, use, or sell your personal writing content.

Local Backups: Verse also maintains local device backups of your writing, accessible only by you through the app’s settings.

2.2 How We Use Information

Subscription Management: We rely on Apple’s billing systems for optional subscription purchases and do not handle payment information directly.

App Improvement: We may gather limited, anonymized usage data (e.g., crash logs, basic usage metrics) to enhance the app’s performance, features, and user experience.

2.3 Third-Party Services

iCloud: Because Verse syncs data through iCloud, your usage and storage are governed by Apple’s privacy policies. We encourage you to review Apple’s documentation for complete details.

2.4 Privacy Updates

• We reserve the right to revise this policy as we evolve our services or to comply with new legal requirements. Substantial changes will be noted by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

3. Terms & Conditions

3.1 Optional Writing Prompts Subscription

Access to Prompts: Verse provides access to a curated library of writing prompts (both idea prompts and visual prompts) designed to inspire your creativity. Progress-tracking features are included to help you follow and celebrate your writing achievements.

Subscription Management: Subscriptions are managed and billed by the Apple App Store, subject to Apple’s then-current terms and policies.

Optional: A paid subscription is optional and not required to use Verse.

3.2 Periodic Content Updates at Our Discretion

• All prompts and other Verse-provided content are for personal use only within the app. You agree not to copy, redistribute, or recreate the subscription content in any form.

3.3 Prompts for Personal Use; No Redistribution

• All prompts and other Verse-provided content are for personal use only within the app. You agree not to copy, redistribute, or recreate the subscription content in any form.

3.4 You Retain Rights to Your Work

Ownership: You retain exclusive rights to all writing you produce using Verse. Subcreation Design LLC does not claim ownership of your creative output, nor do we access, sell, or otherwise use your personal writing.

Local Backups: Verse stores local backups of your writing on your device. This safeguards against data loss and ensures you can always retrieve your content in case of iCloud-related issues.

3.5 Use of iCloud Is Subject to Apple’s Policies

Data Storage: Your writing is stored on Apple’s iCloud service, governed by Apple’s then-current privacy policies and terms. We recommend reviewing Apple’s documentation for a thorough understanding of iCloud’s data management practices.

Limited Control: While we do not access or store your data on our own servers, issues or data losses related to iCloud fall under Apple’s purview.

3.6 We May Update Terms

• We may update these Terms & Conditions to reflect changes in our service or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. We will notify users by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document.

3.7 Liability Limitation

Disclaimer: While we strive for a stable, high-quality service, Subcreation Design LLC cannot be held liable for any data loss or damages resulting from using Verse.

iCloud and Device Storage: Because your data is stored in iCloud (and locally on your device), any iCloud-related issues or data losses are subject to Apple’s Terms and Conditions.
