Ania Terms of Service

The service

Ania is a family assistant for technology and digital safety. You can send it messages, links, phone numbers, and screenshots, and it replies with a safety assessment in plain language, or step-by-step tech help. It can also guide you through recovering from a scam ("I Messed Up"), and send your chosen family guardian event alerts. A signed-in household guardian can open members' portal history views regardless of their privacy dials; those views show dial-filtered event summaries, not submitted-message text or full Ania replies. See the Privacy Policy for details. Ania runs on a hosted server.

What Ania is — and isn't

• Ania gives its best assessment of whether a message looks like a scam, based on the patterns it knows. It is honest when unsure and can be wrong — that's why every reply says how confident it is.
• Ania is not a substitute for your bank, law enforcement, or professional advice. If you've been scammed, contact your bank and local authorities as well as using Ania's recovery steps.
• Ania never asks for your password, a verification code, or a payment.

Your account

• A guardian can create a new family account from Ania's public website. You join through your family when joining an existing household: its organizer adds you or sends you a family invite link.
• Your privacy dial filters which event summaries appear in a guardian's portal history view, which is available regardless of that dial. The view omits submitted-message text and full Ania replies; members can read their own full history when signed in. The portal keeps an append-only record of who has viewed a member's activity summaries, visible to the family. See the Privacy Policy before sharing sensitive information.

SMS program terms

• A family organizer may enter a phone number to configure SMS service messages. Adding a number is not itself a record of the member's consent. The organizer must obtain the recipient's permission before Ania sends SMS to that number. Messages may include replies, safety alerts selected by the member's privacy settings, and at most one weekly family summary. SMS availability depends on carrier and service configuration.
• Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
• Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts from Ania. Reply HELP for support information.
• We reserve the right to terminate or suspend service for abuse.

Deleting your data

• Your organizer can delete member or household records from the active service store. Login accounts and family records are separate, and deleting active records does not immediately remove backup copies. Rotating service backups default to seven snapshots and a 30-day expiry threshold (both configurable) and are pruned at boot and daily while the service runs, which may leave an expired copy until the next sweep; separate pre-migration recovery snapshots are not automatically pruned and may remain indefinitely.
• See the Privacy Policy for retention periods, backup handling, and how to ask a question about your data.

Changes

• Your organizer may update these terms as the pilot evolves; the date above changes when they do.
