Not a substitute for professional help

Why You is an educational app, not a medical or mental health service. The content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute therapy, counseling, diagnosis, or professional psychological advice. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a licensed professional or emergency services.

The Terms

  • Using this app does not create a therapist-client or doctor-patient relationship.
  • Why You does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any mental health condition.
  • Results from assessments are for self-reflection purposes and are not clinical evaluations.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Why People Believe and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — this app or its content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Content you create in Why You — including journal entries, reflections, and responses — belongs to you. Because all data is stored locally on your device, Why You does not access, store, or use your personal content on our servers.

You are responsible for backing up any content you wish to preserve. Clearing your browser data or uninstalling the app will permanently delete your local data.

All content provided by Why You — including lesson text, assessments, graphics, and program structure — is owned by Why People Believe and protected by copyright. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any app content without written permission.

Changes to the app or these terms

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue Why You (or any part of it) at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes to these terms by updating the “Last updated” date above.

Continued use of the app after changes to these terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

Governing Law
