3. Description of Service

ECHO by InnerCoded is a private voice journaling application with an AI companion named ECHO. ECHO is not a therapist, counselor, psychologist, or medical professional. ECHO is a reflection tool for personal growth and self-awareness. Nothing in this app constitutes medical advice, mental health treatment, or a clinical relationship.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a licensed professional or call 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline).

Your journal entries, voice recordings, and transcripts belong to you. We do not claim ownership of your content. You grant us a limited license to process your content solely for the purpose of providing the service (transcription, AI reflection, storage, display to you).

Your content is never used to train AI models. Your content is never shared with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
