1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using MyBestFriend.ai (“we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

2. Nature of the Service

MyBestFriend.ai provides AI-enabled conversational support designed to help users navigate emotional distress, reflect, and access resources. The platform is not a medical device, healthcare service, or emergency response system.

3. No Medical or Professional Services

MyBestFriend.ai does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or licensed therapy. The platform does not replace healthcare professionals, emergency services, or crisis hotlines.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or local emergency services. For mental health crises in the United States, call or text 988 (24/7).

4. AI Processing & Third-Party Services

We may use internal models and third-party service providers to process user inputs and generate responses (for example, speech synthesis or language model APIs). We send only the information necessary to provide the requested feature.

Unless you explicitly provide identifying information, your messages are not intended to include personal identifiers. We also apply data-minimization practices and may retain only derived, de-identified metrics long-term.

5. Data Retention & Minimization

Raw conversational text is retained only for a limited period to support safety review, quality assurance, and system integrity. After this period, raw text is deleted or irreversibly cleared.

Derived, de-identified signals and aggregated metrics may be retained long-term.

6. Data Ownership & Use Rights

MyBestFriend.ai owns and retains all rights to de-identified, aggregated data and system-generated insights derived from platform usage.

These insights may be used to:

In rare cases of imminent danger, limited information may be shared with emergency services to protect safety.

9. Free Use & Sponsored Resources

MyBestFriend.ai is free for individual users. Sponsored or suggested resources may be shown only when relevant and appropriate, and access to support is never contingent on payment.

Organizations may deploy customized or white-labeled versions of MyBestFriend.ai under separate agreements. Enterprise deployments may include administrative controls, reporting dashboards, and additional safeguards.
