These terms are the agreement between you and Anren LLC when you use Anren. We've kept them as plain as we honestly can. Using Anren means you agree to them.
This is a plain-language agreement for Anren's beta, for adults in the US, 18+. It's being reviewed by lawyers and will be expanded before Anren's full launch. Anren is operated by Anren LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Anren,” “we,” “us”), 8 The Green STE A, Dover, DE 19901, support@anren.ai. Effective date: October 19, 2026.
You must be 18 or older; by using Anren you confirm that you are. Anren is not designed for or directed at anyone under 18. Anren is built and offered from the United States, under US law, and your data is stored there. If you use it from another country, you're responsible for making sure that's allowed where you are, and your local privacy rights may differ from what our Privacy Policy describes. We don't yet offer Anren in the European Union, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, except to a person we've invited in writing.
Anren is an AI for reflection, journaling and self-discovery. Everything Anren says is generated by artificial intelligence, not a human.
Anren is not therapy, not medical or mental-health care, not a crisis service, and not professional advice of any kind. It is not a substitute for a licensed professional or for the people in your life. Don't rely on Anren for medical, psychological, legal, financial or other professional decisions. If you may be in crisis, see our Safety & Crisis Support page: in the US, call or text 988, or call 911 for immediate danger.
Anren can be wrong. What Anren says can be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. Check anything factual before you rely on it.
You're responsible for your account and for keeping your sign-in secure. Don't share your access, or let anyone under 18 use your account. Tell us if you think your account has been used without your permission.
You keep whatever rights you have in what you write in Anren. You can see, export and delete your record as described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these terms.
To run Anren, you give Anren LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, process and use your content for these purposes:
We don't sell your content, and we don't use it to advertise to you.
This licence ends when you delete your content or your account, with two exceptions:
Reflection naturally involves other people, and Anren is built to hold your side of those relationships, never to build a file on another person. When you mention someone, that becomes part of your private record, handled like the rest of your data (see the Privacy Policy). You're responsible for what you share about others. Keep it to your own experience, and don't use Anren to harass anyone or to gather information about someone beyond your own reflection.
Voice typing. If you use voice typing, use it for your own speech. Don't use it to record other people without their permission.
Don't use Anren to break the law, to harm others, to try to break or misuse the service, to get around the safety limits of Anren or of the AI models it runs on, or to try to reach other people's data. Anren runs on AI from Anthropic, and you agree not to use Anren in ways that break Anthropic's usage policy. In particular, never use it for:
We may suspend or end access that puts users, the service or others at risk.
During the beta, Anren is free. There's a usage allowance, and if you reach it, the app tells you. Nothing will ever start charging you unless you choose a paid plan yourself, and we'll tell you before paid plans begin. We may change the beta, its allowance, or end it, with notice. Your record stays yours to export or delete either way.
Safety isn't behind a limit. Anren's safety checks never count against your allowance. The Safety & Crisis resources stay available in the app even when you've reached your allowance. And you remain able to see, export and delete your data at any time.
Notifications. If you turn on notifications, they may be delayed or not delivered. They're never a way to reach help. In a crisis, call or text 988.
Anren is provided “as is” and “as available.” We work hard to make it good, but we don't promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that anything it generates is accurate, complete or suitable for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied.
Anren invites honest self-reflection, which can surface difficult feelings. You use it voluntarily and are responsible for your own wellbeing and choices. If reflection ever feels like more than a self-guided tool should hold, step away and reach a professional or a crisis line.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Anren and its people won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits. Our total liability for any claim relating to Anren is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US $100. Some places don't allow certain limits, so parts of this may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited.
If your misuse of Anren or your breaking these terms causes a claim against us or our service providers, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.
We'd always rather resolve a concern directly, so please email us first. If we can't resolve it, you and Anren agree that disputes will be settled by binding individual arbitration, not in court, and that claims will be brought only on an individual basis, not as a class action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these terms by emailing support@anren.ai with “arbitration opt-out” and your account email. Nothing here waives any right that can't be waived by law, including certain claims under consumer-health-privacy statutes.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except where your local consumer-protection law gives you rights that can't be waived. You represent that you're not located in a country subject to a US government embargo, and that you're not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Anren is early and evolving, so these terms may change. If we make an important change, we'll give reasonable notice, and if you keep using Anren after that, you accept the update. Changes to how we use your data follow the Privacy Policy, which asks for your consent before any material change applies to you. You can stop using Anren at any time, and we may suspend or end access if these terms are broken or to protect users or the service. Your right to see, export and delete your data survives.
Successors. We may transfer these terms to a successor organisation, for example after a change in Anren's legal structure or a transfer of its operations. The successor will be bound by these terms, and your data stays protected as the Privacy Policy describes. You may not transfer your account or these terms to someone else.
When you use Anren, you also need to follow the terms that apply to you from others, such as your mobile carrier and Apple's App Store or TestFlight terms.
