Terms

Using Smart Rant

Smart Rant is a private rant-and-memory service: an iPhone app and a web companion. By using it you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. You must be old enough to form a binding agreement where you live, and at least 13 years old.

Your content

You own what you record and everything derived from it. You give us permission to store, process and display your content only to provide the service to you, including sending it to the processors described in the privacy policy. We don't claim ownership of your content, sell it, or use it for advertising.

You're responsible for what you record. Don't use Smart Rant to record other people where that requires their consent and you don't have it, or for anything unlawful.

Your account

Keep your sign-in secure. You can export your data or delete your account at any time from Account. Deleting your account is permanent.

Subscriptions

Smart Rant is free to use. Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription purchased through Apple's App Store and governed by Apple's terms, including billing, renewal, cancellation and refunds. Eligible Apple Accounts may receive a 7-day introductory free trial. Apple confirms eligibility and the payment method, starts Pro when you confirm, and charges the selected subscription price after the trial unless you cancel renewal before it ends. Apple bills you; Smart Rant never receives your card details. You manage or cancel renewal on your iPhone in Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Canceling renewal does not remove access you already paid for: Pro remains available through the current subscription period, then the account returns to Free. Monthly and annual Pro have the same feature level; changing duration follows Apple's subscription-change timing. Features and monthly allowances are described on the pricing page. If Pro ends, your recordings and archive remain; only Pro-only features and the larger allowances stop. Deleting a Smart Rant account does not by itself cancel an Apple subscription, so use Manage Subscription before deleting if you do not want it to renew.

What the intelligence is, and isn't

Transcripts, labels, modules, Ask answers and Relive stories are generated automatically and can be wrong. They are grounded in your recordings and show the moments they rely on, so you can check them. Smart Rant is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, not a therapist, and not an emergency service. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services.

Acceptable use

Don't attempt to access another person's data, disrupt or reverse engineer the service beyond what the law allows, or use automated means to overload it. We may suspend accounts that do.

Availability and changes

We work to keep Smart Rant reliable, but it is provided “as is” without warranties to the extent the law allows, and our liability is limited to the extent the law allows. We may update these terms; for material changes we'll give notice in the app before they apply.
