This document contains three parts:
Terms of Service (ToS), 2) Privacy Policy, and 3) Cookie Policy (website).
1) Terms of Service
1. Who we are
BeBored is a mobile app provided by Hitaya Kollektiv ApS (the “Company”, “we”, “us”). These Terms apply to your use of the BeBored app on iOS and Android (together, the “Service”).
2. Eligibility & age
You must be 16 years or older to use BeBored. If you are under the age of 16, you may not use the Service. By using the Service, you confirm you meet this requirement.
3. Not medical advice; no emergencies
BeBored offers mindfulness and boredom‑training experiences. It does not provide medical advice and is not a substitute for professional healthcare or mental health services. Do not use the Service in emergencies. If you believe you are experiencing an emergency, call the appropriate emergency number in your country.
4. Your account
You can sign in with Apple or Google. You are responsible for safeguarding your device and your sign‑in credentials. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and kept up to date.
5. License & acceptable use
We grant you a personal, limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non‑commercial use, subject to these Terms. You agree not to (i) copy, modify, or create derivative works; (ii) reverse engineer or decompile the app except as permitted by law; (iii) interfere with or disrupt the Service; (iv) use the Service in any unlawful manner; or (v) circumvent security or access controls.
6. User content
At launch, BeBored does not host user‑generated uploads (e.g., photos, audio, text posts). Your in‑app progress (e.g., minutes, streaks, badges) may be stored by us as described in the Privacy Policy.
7. Changes, availability & updates
We may modify or discontinue parts of the Service at any time, including features, content, or availability. We may push updates, fixes, or new versions. Where required by law, we will provide notice of material changes to these Terms or the Service.
8. Fees & purchases
The app is free at launch and contains no subscriptions. If we later introduce paid features or subscriptions, purchases will be processed by the Apple App Store and/or Google Play, and the applicable store terms (including refund policies) will apply. We will update these Terms if that happens.
9. Push notifications
We may send you optional reminders (e.g., streak nudges). You can control notifications through your device OS settings and, where available, in‑app settings.
10. Third‑party services
The Service may rely on third‑party services (e.g., Apple Sign‑in, Google Sign‑in, Firebase). Your use of those services may be subject to their terms.
11. Intellectual property
All rights, title, and interest in and to the Service (including text, graphics, logos, software, and content) are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. Except for the license granted above, no rights are transferred to you.
12. Feedback
If you submit ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us a worldwide, royalty‑free, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use and incorporate them without obligation.
13. Disclaimers
The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non‑infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error‑free, or secure.
14. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under mandatory law (including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for intentional misconduct). To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for: (a) indirect or consequential losses; (b) loss of profits or data; or (c) any amount exceeding the greater of EUR 50 or the amounts you paid to us (if any) in the 12 months before the event giving rise to liability.
15. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account in the app (Profile → Delete Account). We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or for security/operational reasons. Upon termination, the license granted to you ends.
16. Governing law & venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of Denmark, without regard to conflict‑of‑law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the courts of Copenhagen, Denmark, unless mandatory law gives you the right to bring actions elsewhere as a consumer.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (e.g., in‑app). Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

We collect the following categories of personal data:
Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
Account data | Full name (when available from Apple/Google), email, profile photo/avatar | Provided by you via Sign in with Apple / Google |
Device & app data | Device model/OS version, device identifiers, push notification tokens, app version, language/locale | Your device / app |

We do not collect special categories of data (e.g., health, biometric, religious) and do not ask you to upload content at launch.
4. Purposes and legal bases (GDPR)
Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
Provide and operate the Service (account creation; core functionality; progress syncing) | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
Analytics & product improvement (aggregate usage trends, feature performance) | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) – to understand and improve the Service; not used for ads or cross‑app tracking |
Crash reporting & diagnostics | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) – to maintain stability and security |
Push notifications (reminders, streak nudges) | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)); you can opt out in OS settings |
Security & fraud prevention | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
Legal compliance | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we balance our interests against your rights and expectations. You can object to processing based on our legitimate interests (see Your rights).
5. Sub‑processors & international transfers
We use trusted providers to process data on our behalf:
Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited – Firebase (Authentication, Firestore/Database in eur3 multi‑region within the EU, Crashlytics, Analytics), Cloud Functions/Cloud Messaging. Transfers outside the EEA, if any, are protected by EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Google’s Data Processing Terms.
Apple Inc. – Sign in with Apple (authentication). Apple may act as an independent controller for sign‑in data.
Data is primarily stored in the EU (eur3). Where data is transferred internationally (e.g., for support or provider operations), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as SCCs.
6. Data retention
We keep data only as long as necessary for the purposes above:
Data | Typical retention |
|---|---|
Account & profile (name, email, avatar) | Kept while account is active; deleted upon account deletion (see below) |
Usage & progress | Kept while account is active; deleted upon account deletion |
Crash logs & analytics events | Short to moderate periods needed for diagnostics/improvements (e.g., 90–180 days), then aggregated or deleted |
Backups & system logs | Deleted within 90 days after account deletion |
7. Account deletion & data export
Delete your account anytime in the app: Profile → Delete Account. Primary records are removed promptly; backups/system logs are cleared within 90 days.
Data export: Email support@beboredapp.com from your account email to request a copy of your data.
8. Your rights (EEA/UK)
Subject to conditions and limitations under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, and object to certain processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In Denmark, this is Datatilsynet.
To exercise rights, contact support@beboredapp.com. We may need to verify your identity.
9. Children’s privacy
BeBored is not for children under 16. If you believe a minor under 16 has created an account, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete the account and associated data.
10. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, including secure authentication via Apple/Google, encrypted transport, access controls, and least‑privilege practices. No method is 100% secure.
11. No advertising & tracking
We do not serve third‑party ads or engage in cross‑app tracking. Analytics is used only to understand app performance and usage in aggregate.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy as we evolve the Service (e.g., if we add social features or payments). We will notify you of material changes where required (e.g., in‑app notice).
