I. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms") govern the relationship between you and Diego de Mello Rego Lopes, an individual acting as an independent service provider ("Operator", "we", "us", or "our"), regarding your access to and use of the INTERCEPT mobile application and related services (the "Service" or "App").
By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of this agreement.
If you do not agree with these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Service, delete your account, and cancel any active subscriptions.
II. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time for legal, technical, or operational reasons. Material changes will be notified at least 30 days before taking effect via in-app notification or email.
Unless otherwise stated, updated Terms take effect once published. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without liability.
III. Eligibility
The Service is intended for users 18 years of age or older. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into this agreement.
IV. Account Registration and Security
Certain features require you to create an account.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account information updated.
You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. Any activity performed through your account is your responsibility. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.
V. Description of Service
Intercept is a digital behavioral support application designed to assist users with habit awareness, food impulse interception, self-regulation strategies, nutrition and fitness tracking, and personalized insights. The Service may include, among others:
- 20-second interception flow with 4-7-8 breathing and emotion check-in
- "Ember" AI coach with three styles (Direct, Empathetic, Analytic) and weekly aggregated memory (consent-based)
- four-stage Post-Failure Check-In for trigger, pattern and strategy identification
- nutrition tracking with an 800,000+ food database, meal planning, recipe creation and import, and automatic grocery list generation
- food photo recognition and Plate Scanner via vision AI (Claude Vision); photos are analyzed in real time and discarded — never stored on our servers nor used to train models
- personalized workout plans, training calendar and in-session player
- optional integrations with Apple HealthKit, Google Health Connect, Withings, Strava, Fitbit and Bluetooth smart scales (read-only, consent-based)
- trigger pattern analysis, 8-week adaptive risk profile, heatmaps and weekly reports
- gamification with points, streaks, achievements, weekly challenges, rewards shop and Streak Insurance
- Emergency Mode with breathing exercises and display of crisis resources (CVV, NEDA, CAPS)
- discreet wellbeing screening (ED screening) that may automatically disable calorie tracking and proactive coaching to protect at-risk users
- user-uploaded content such as meal photos, notes and reflections
VI. AI and Coaching Disclaimer
Certain features of the Service rely on artificial intelligence and automated systems, including large language models (LLMs) operated by Anthropic (Claude Sonnet and Claude Haiku) and, in fallback situations, OpenAI/OpenRouter. You acknowledge and agree that:
- AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate, including calorie and macro estimates from photos, text descriptions or labels
- AI does not understand your full personal, medical, psychological, or emotional context
- AI outputs are provided for general informational and motivational purposes only — never as diagnosis, prescription or treatment
- AI coaching is not medical, psychological, therapeutic, nutritional, or professional advice
- The "Ember" coach may, under your explicit dual-layer consent (local preference + X-Ai-Memory-Consent HTTP header), keep a weekly aggregated memory of your wins, slips, dominant emotion and risk hours. This summary is anonymized (no personal identifiers), stored encrypted on Cloudflare KV for up to 90 days and may be revoked and erased at any time
- Photos uploaded for food recognition (Photo Food and Plate Scanner) are processed in real time by vision AI and discarded immediately after analysis; they are not stored on our servers nor used to train AI models
- No AI provider we integrate with uses your personal data to train their models. Prompts are processed through our backend proxy; no direct client-to-AI connection occurs
- The Service runs crisis detection (keywords for self-harm, suicidal ideation, prolonged fasting or purging). When detected, the request is NOT sent to the AI: the Service blocks the call, displays local support resources (such as CVV in Brazil, NEDA in the US) and only logs an SHA-256 hash of the input for audit purposes, without storing the content
You remain solely responsible for your decisions and actions based on information provided by the Service.
The Service does not provide emergency support. The built-in Emergency Mode is a guidance and resource-display tool — NOT a support channel. If you experience a medical or mental health emergency, contact local emergency services immediately (SAMU 192, Police 190, CVV 188 in Brazil; 911 in the US; or equivalent number in your country).
VII. No Medical Advice
The Service does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, nutritional, or therapeutic services.
Nothing within the Service should be construed as diagnosis, treatment, prescription, or healthcare advice.
Always consult a qualified professional before making decisions affecting your health or well-being.
This application should NOT be used to: (a) diagnose or treat any medical condition; (b) replace medical, nutritional, or psychological care; (c) make decisions about medications or treatments.
VII-A. Eating Disorders Warning
WARNING: This application is NOT suitable for people who:
- Have or have had a diagnosis of an eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder - BED)
- Are currently in treatment for eating disorders
- Display restrictive or compulsive eating behaviors
- Have a history of problematic relationship with food or body weight
If you identify with any of these situations, we STRONGLY recommend:
- Consulting a mental health professional before using the application

VII-B. Consent for Health and Wearable Integrations

- Apple HealthKit (iOS) — read steps, sleep, heart rate, HRV, VO2Max, workouts, nutrition and weight

All integrations are read-only, can be disabled at any time in Settings > Integrations, and disabling immediately stops data sharing. You acknowledge that data from these platforms may be inaccurate or delayed, and that the Operator is not responsible for the accuracy of data provided by third parties.
VIII. User-Generated Content
The Service may allow you to submit or upload text, images, photos, and personal tracking data ("User Content").
You retain ownership of your User Content.
By submitting User Content, you grant the Operator a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, and use such content solely to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service, including synchronization across devices and generation of personalized insights.
User Content, including photos, will NEVER be used for marketing, advertising, or promotional purposes without your explicit, separate consent.
This license terminates upon deletion of your content or account, except where retention is required for legal compliance, security, or dispute resolution.
All personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, including GDPR.

If an amicable agreement cannot be reached within 30 days, the parties agree to submit the dispute to the following forums:

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except for disputes that qualify for small claims court.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: You and the Operator each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. You expressly waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
