terms of service

Hello Human is made and run by one individual — a sole trader, not a company. in these terms, “i”, “me” and “my” mean that person; “you” means you, the person using the app.

• name: Stanislav Akinfin

• app: Hello Human (bundle id world.hellohuman.app)

Hello Human is a tool for learning languages. you can look up and save words, get definitions, examples, pronunciation and images, read text from photos, and practise with flash cards. much of this content is generated by AI to help you learn.

it’s a learning aid, not a certified course, a professional translation service, or any kind of professional advice.

• you sign in with Apple or Google. keep access to that login secure — anyone who can use it can use your account.
• the account is for one person: you. don’t share it or let someone else use it as their own.
• you need to be old enough to agree to these terms — at least 16, or the age of digital consent where you live if that’s lower. the app isn’t meant for children.
• you’re responsible for what happens under your account.

i keep the rules light. essentially: don’t break the law, and don’t break the app. specifically, please don’t:

• use Hello Human for anything illegal, or to harm, harass, or infringe the rights of others.
• try to get around usage limits, security, or authentication, or otherwise abuse the service.
• overload, disrupt, probe, or attack the service or the systems behind it.
• scrape, reverse-engineer, decompile, or resell the app or its content, except where the law says you may.
• feed in other people’s private or confidential information, or content you don’t have the right to use.
• deliberately misuse the AI to generate content that is illegal, abusive, or harmful.

if you seriously or repeatedly break these rules, i may limit or close your access (see “ending things”).

definitions, translations, examples, hints, audio, and the reading of text or objects from your photos are generated by AI. it’s genuinely useful, but it can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date.

treat it as a study aid, not the final word. don’t rely on it for anything important — a medical, legal, financial, safety, or official-translation decision — without checking a qualified source. you use AI-generated content at your own discretion.

if something the AI produced looks harmful or wrong, you can report it from within the app, and i’d appreciate you telling me at hello@hello-human.world.

• the words, notes, and text you add stay yours. i don’t claim ownership of them.
• to actually run the features for you, you give me permission to store your content and to send it to the service providers listed in the privacy policy (for example, to generate a definition or read a photo). that permission is limited to operating the app for you, and it ends when you delete the content or your account.
• you’re responsible for what you put into the app, and you confirm you have the right to use it.

• a new account starts with a free week: seven days that include a set number of new words, voice, sections, chat questions, text scans and look-around photos, and the Plans screen in the app shows each number and how many you’ve used.
• when the free week ends, what you saved stays yours: you can still read it and practise it. looking up new words, and the rest of what the free week counted, then takes a subscription.
• the subscription is monthly or yearly. you buy it through Apple’s in-app purchase system, it renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings, and Apple’s terms cover the payment, renewals and refunds. deleting your Hello Human account doesn’t cancel it — cancel it with Apple.
• the subscription includes a set number of new words, voice, sections, chat questions, text scans and look-around photos each month. the Plans screen shows the numbers, what you’ve used, and the day the counts start over. practice has no limit, in the free week or on the subscription.
• to keep the service working for everyone, i may pause fresh generation for an account whose use goes far beyond what a person reading could do — for example through a script: until the next day for a single day of it, and until the counts start over for a month of it. using the app the way a person does doesn’t come near either.
• the numbers, prices and features can change over time. if i lower what the subscription includes, i’ll tell you in the app before the change applies to you, so you can cancel first.

i work to keep Hello Human running well, but i can’t promise it will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. i may update it, pause it for maintenance, or change or withdraw features. i’ll try not to be disruptive about it.

to the fullest extent the law allows, Hello Human is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind — express or implied — including that it will be accurate, uninterrupted, or fit for a particular purpose.

nothing in these terms removes or limits any rights you have as a consumer that can’t be excluded under the law of your country. if a mandatory consumer law gives you more than these terms do, that law wins.

to the extent the law allows, i’m not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost data, or losses that weren’t reasonably foreseeable, and i’m not responsible for decisions you make by relying on AI-generated content. i also don’t take responsibility for third-party services (like Apple or Google sign-in) or for anything on sites the app links to.

i don’t exclude or limit my liability for anything that can’t lawfully be excluded — for example death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your non-excludable statutory consumer rights.

• you can stop using Hello Human at any time. you can delete your account in the app (Profile → delete account), which erases your data as described in the privacy policy.
• i may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, or where i have to for legal or security reasons. where it’s reasonable to, i’ll tell you why.
• the parts of these terms that should survive the end of your use — like the content permissions you’ve already given, disclaimers, and liability — carry on afterward.

these terms are governed by the law of Germany, and disputes can be dealt with by its courts.

if you’re a consumer in the EU or the UK, this doesn’t take away the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country you live in, and you can also bring proceedings in your home courts.

i may update these terms — for example if the app or the subscription changes. when i make a material change i’ll update the effective date at the top and, where it matters, show a notice in the app. if you keep using Hello Human after a change takes effect, that counts as accepting the updated terms; if you don’t agree, you can stop using the app and delete your account.

questions about these terms — email me at hello@hello-human.world. it reaches me, the individual who runs Hello Human, directly.
