In short

The app is for keeping a record of a child's early years. It stores media files and documents directly in the Google Drive of the account you authorise, and not on a server of our own.

There are two plans. On Basic, which is free, you read everything you have already kept and carry on keeping photos and videos. Premium, a yearly subscription, adds keeping letters, drawings, documents and growth records.

The content is yours. We do not look at it, use it or sell any of what you keep.

You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, and be responsible for the child to create the account.

The app does not replace an independent backup, nor medical, psychological or legal advice.

What this app is

Meu Bebê: Cápsula do Tempo is a digital time capsule. It organises photos, videos, letters, drawings, documents and growth records by the age of the child, so that one day she can open it herself and live her own childhood again.

There is no advertising, and never was. What exists is an optional subscription, described in the next section, that widens what you can keep.

It is an organiser, not a storage service of its own: the space used is that of the Google account you authorise. The storage rules, space limits and charges that apply to Google Drive are Google's.

The Basic and Premium plans

The Basic plan is free and has no time limit. With it you sign in, walk the whole timeline, open and read everything already kept, and carry on keeping photos and videos.

The Premium plan is a yearly subscription. It adds keeping letters, drawings, documents and growth records, which are the parts where the capsule stops being an album.

The subscription applies to the account that signs in to the app, not to the device nor to the person who made the payment. If the app uses separate accounts for different children, the availability of Premium is determined by the account and its corresponding subscription, according to the service configuration in force.

Going without the subscription never closes anything that is already yours. At the end of the paid period the app returns to Basic: the letters, drawings, documents and measurements you already kept stay in plain view, and the files stay in the child's Google Drive. What stops is keeping new things of those four kinds.

The subscription, the payment and cancelling

The subscription purchase is processed by Google Play, not by the app. The price and the conditions that apply appear in Google Play before the purchase is confirmed.

The subscription is yearly and renews on its own, through the Google Play account that made the purchase, until you cancel it.

Cancelling or changing the subscription is done in Google Play, under Payments and subscriptions. A refund request also follows the applicable Google Play mechanisms and policies. We have no access to your payment method details and cannot change a charge directly on your behalf.

On cancelling, access to Premium normally continues until the end of the period already paid for. We do not offer a pro rata refund on our own initiative, except where required by applicable law or by Google Play refund policies. Mandatory consumer rights are not set aside by these Terms.

If the price changes, the change applies to later renewals, and Google Play gives notice beforehand, by the route it uses for that. You can cancel before the renewal happens.

Where applicable law gives the consumer a right of withdrawal or cancellation, that right prevails over any provision of these Terms. In the European Union and the United Kingdom the general statutory period for distance contracts is 14 days, subject to the rules and exceptions applicable to the type of service or digital content contracted. In Brazil, the Consumer Protection Code provides, as a rule, 7 days for contracts entered into away from business premises. Other countries may set their own periods and conditions. A cancellation or refund request should follow the applicable channel indicated by Google Play, without prejudice to the consumer's legal rights.

Deleting the account inside the app does not cancel the subscription. They are separate things: one is ours, the other is Google Play's. Cancel there too, or the billing continues.

Who can use it

To create an account you declare that you are at least 18, or the minimum legal age applicable in the country where you live if that is higher, and that you are the mother, father or guardian of the child whose data you are going to record, or that you hold adequate authorisation to do so.

This is not a mere formality. Data relating to children may receive heightened protection under different laws, among them the LGPD in Brazil, the GDPR in the European Union, the UK GDPR in the United Kingdom and, in certain situations, COPPA in the United States. The user must have adequate authority to provide the child's data and to use the app for that purpose.

The app is not for the child to use while she is a child. It is written for whoever is recording today, and made to be handed to her when she is an adult.

The account and access

You sign in with a Google account. You are responsible for keeping that account secure and for controlling who has access to the device where the app is installed.

The app requests the Google Drive access scope intended for the files it creates itself. Within that scope, it does not request general access to the pre-existing files in your account.

You can revoke that permission at any time, through your Google account. Once revoked, the app can no longer keep new things, and the files already sent stay in your Drive.

The content is yours

Everything you keep remains yours. We acquire no right over your photos, your videos or the texts you write.

We ask for no licence to use them, we publish nothing anywhere and we do not use your content to train any system.

You are responsible for what you keep, including having the right to keep it. Photographing someone else's daughter and keeping it here is your decision, and so are the consequences.

What you may not do

Use the app for commercial purposes, to provide the service to third parties without authorisation, or to record a child's data without holding adequate authority to do so. The app is intended for personal and family use. The legal characterisation of the activities carried out by the user depends on applicable law; these Terms do not purport to declare that the user is automatically exempt from any legal data protection obligation.

Use the app to keep, solicit, produce or distribute illegal content, especially material of sexual abuse or exploitation of children and adolescents.

Use the app to violate the privacy of third parties or to keep content about people who did not consent.

Try to get around the app's protections, access data from other accounts, or interfere with the running of the service.

On discovering any of these, we may terminate access to the app. We have no way to delete what is in someone else's Drive, and reports of crime go to the authorities.

What we do not promise

The app is offered as is. We do not guarantee that it will always be available, free of faults or compatible with every device.

We are not a backup service. A file you send lives in your Google Drive, and its preservation depends on your Google account continuing to exist and to have space. Keep copies of whatever is irreplaceable.

We depend on Google services to sign in and to store. If they change their rules, their prices or go offline, that affects the app, and it is outside our control.

The inspirations and suggestions inside the app are editorial content, written to follow the stage the child is in. They are not medical, psychological or legal guidance, and none of them says what a child "should" be doing.

The limit of our liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for lost profits, indirect or consequential damages arising from the use of or inability to use the app. This does not limit liabilities that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law. In particular, these Terms do not purport to exclude liability for death or personal injury where the law does not allow it, nor consumer rights or other rights that are legally non-waivable. If a given limitation is not valid in your jurisdiction, it applies only to the extent permitted, and the remaining provisions of these Terms remain in force.

If you want to stop

You can sign out, uninstall the app or request deletion of the account and the data at any time, without giving a reason and at no charge for that request, save for any legal retention obligations.

The path is described on the account deletion page, and it works even for someone who has already uninstalled the app.

If you have Premium, remember to cancel the subscription in Google Play as well. Deleting the account here does not cancel it there.

We may suspend or terminate access to the account where there is a material breach of these Terms, illegal use, a security risk, or where the service ceases to be offered. Where termination follows a planned decision to discontinue the service, we will try to give reasonable notice where possible. Because the files are stored in your Google Drive, they are not automatically deleted when the app ends, although certain organising or reading features may stop working.

Changes to these terms

These terms may change when the app changes. The date at the top of this page says which version you are reading.

Every version of the app carries the terms of that version inside it, so the text you read when you installed is still there, even if what is published is now different.

Where a material change requires fresh consent or a specific notice under applicable law, it will be presented appropriately before it takes effect. For other changes, continuing to use the app after the new version is published may mean acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with a change that applies to you, you may stop using the app and request deletion of the account, subject to any legal rights that apply.

Where the app is offered

The app is distributed through Google Play and can be used in any country where the store offers it. The interface and these documents exist in Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.

The publisher is an individual established in Ireland, not a company incorporated in every country where the app may be available. This does not purport to reduce mandatory consumer or data protection rights. The law applicable to the relationship may depend on the consumer's country of residence and on conflict-of-laws rules.

Availability of the app may vary according to applicable laws, sanctions, Google Play policies and distribution restrictions.

The app may not be made available in certain countries or regions where local law, data localisation requirements, sanctions or the technical conditions of the cloud services used legitimately prevent its operation. The architecture of the app depends on Google's global infrastructure and may not meet local requirements demanding storage exclusively inside a given jurisdiction.

Applicable law and where to complain

These Terms are governed by Irish law, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rules and other mandatory rules that apply to your relationship with the app.

Where conflict-of-laws rules determine that the law of the consumer's country of habitual residence applies, or where there are mandatory rights that cannot be set aside by contract, those rights prevail over any provision of these Terms that is incompatible with them.

Where applicable law gives the consumer the right to bring proceedings before the courts of their country or place of residence, that right is preserved. In the European Union, specific rules of jurisdiction protect consumers in certain circumstances. In Brazil, the Consumer Protection Code also provides protection as to the consumer's forum, as applicable to the case.

Consumers in the European Union may, where available and applicable to the type of dispute, use the national alternative dispute resolution mechanisms provided for by the law of their country, or approach the competent European Consumer Centre. The former European online dispute resolution platform has been shut down and is not indicated as a channel.

Nothing here forces you into arbitration or purports to prevent the exercise of procedural rights guaranteed by applicable law. If you would rather talk to us before taking any other step, the address is in the last section. We will try to reply without undue delay and, where the request concerns data protection rights, we will observe the deadlines set by applicable law.
