Terms of Use

« Prépa Mariage » Application

Article 1 — Purpose

These Terms of Use (hereinafter « Terms ») define the terms and conditions under which the user (hereinafter « the User ») may access and use the Application.

The Application is a tool to support wedding preparation, offering:

themed journeys (communication, money, sexuality, work, in-laws, prayer life, etc.);
talks and videos;
couple testimonies;
a connected partner profile, allowing each member of the couple to progress at their own pace and share their reflections.

Use of the Application implies full and complete acceptance of these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

Article 2 — Access to the Application

The Application is entirely free.

Given the topics covered (marriage commitment, sexuality, financial management, spiritual life), the Application is intended for adults (18 years and older). Any use by a minor requires prior authorization from their legal representatives; the publisher disclaims all liability in the event of unauthorized use.

The Application is accessible with or without account creation. Certain features (synchronization across devices, partner linking) require creating an account.

Article 3 — Evolution of the Business Model

Although the Application is currently free, the publisher reserves the right to modify its business model in the future.

The Application may thus incorporate paid features (in-app purchases), offer a subscription model (freemium), or become entirely paid.

In the event of a transition to a paid model or the integration of premium features:

Users will be informed in advance, with reasonable notice, via in-app notification and/or email.
No charges will be billed without prior and explicit consent.
Users may accept the new pricing terms or stop using the Application and delete their account at no cost.

Article 4 — Account Creation and Authentication

Creating an account is optional and enables synchronization of data across devices.

Registration methods:

By email and password;
Via a Google account;
Via an Apple account (including the « Hide My Email » feature where applicable).

Data collected at registration: username and email address (required for authentication). When signing in via Google or Apple, the publisher receives only the information strictly necessary for authentication (identifier, email).

Account deletion: the User may delete their account independently from the Application settings. This action anonymizes the account identifiers (email, username, avatar) and disconnects the partner pair. To erase all progress and responses, the User must use the « Delete my data » function (see Article 6).

Article 5 — Local Data and Synchronization

6.1 — Local Storage (without account)

Without an account, progress data (advancement, responses) is stored only on the User's device. It can be erased via « Delete my data » in the settings. In the event of uninstalling the Application or loss of the device, this unsynchronized data may be permanently lost.

6.2 — Synchronization (with account)

The Application offers synchronization across devices, enabling the secure transfer of data (progress, responses).

This feature is disabled by default without an account.
It is only activated if the User voluntarily creates an account.
When activated, data is stored securely on the publisher's server (see Article 10). Quiz responses are encrypted at rest on the server.

Data deletion: the User may delete their personal data (progress, responses) from the settings. This action erases local data and, if the User is signed in, the corresponding data on the server.

Article 6 — Data Sharing Between Partners

The Application allows two Users to link their profiles to progress together.

Content entered (quiz responses, progress, personal notes where applicable) is visible only to the User themselves and, where applicable, to their connected partner.
Responses are encrypted at rest on the server. The publisher does not access this content under normal use, except where legally required or for occasional technical intervention (maintenance, support at the User's request).
The User is solely responsible for the information they choose to share with their partner.

Linking and unlinking: linking is done voluntarily between two accounts. Each User may disconnect the partner pair from the settings. Unlinking removes the connection between accounts without automatically erasing data already entered by each User. Each member of the couple may delete their own data or, where applicable, the data they entered within the partner pair, from the Application settings.

Article 7 — Push Notifications

The Application offers push notifications, subject to the User's prior and explicit authorization (opt-in).

This service is provided via Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google), acting as a technical processor. The User may revoke this authorization at any time from their smartphone settings or via the Application.

Article 8 — Analytics and Monitoring Tools

The Application may use Firebase Crashlytics (crash reporting) and Mixpanel (behavioral analytics) to ensure technical stability and optimize the user experience.

These tools collect data only after explicit consent from the User, requested on first use and modifiable at any time in the Application settings.
By default, no analytics tracking is enabled.
Usage data (screens visited, technical errors) is pseudonymized and used exclusively for diagnosing and improving the Application.
Retention periods:
- Firebase Crashlytics: maximum 90 days;
- Mixpanel: up to 2 years.

On iOS, the Application may also request App Tracking Transparency (ATT) authorization in accordance with Apple's requirements.

For details on processing and rights, see the Privacy Policy.

Article 9 — Data Hosting

To ensure data sovereignty and security, data is stored on a self-hosted server.

Physical host: PulseHéberge
Server location: France (application of European and French law)

Certain technical processors (Firebase, Mixpanel) may process data outside the European Union. See the Privacy Policy for applicable transfers and safeguards.

Article 10 — Intellectual Property

All content of the Application (texts, themed journeys, videos, talks, quizzes, architecture, graphic elements, logo) is the exclusive property of the publisher or its rights holders, and is protected by intellectual property law.

Any reproduction, representation, modification, or distribution, in whole or in part, without the express prior authorization of the publisher, is strictly prohibited and constitutes infringement.

Article 11 — User Conduct

The User agrees to:

Use the Application in good faith and in accordance with its intended purpose;
Not circumvent security measures or disrupt technical operation;
Not enter unlawful, insulting, defamatory content or content that infringes third-party rights;
Respect the confidentiality of their partner's exchanges and responses.

The publisher reserves the right to suspend or delete an account in the event of a proven violation of these Terms.

Article 12 — Limitation of Liability

Nature of the service: The Application is a tool for reflection and dialogue. It does not in any way replace support from a priest, marriage counselor, psychologist, lawyer, or any other professional.
Results: The publisher is bound by an obligation of means, with no guarantee of results regarding the couple's life or the durability of the marriage.
Relational consequences: The publisher shall in no event be held liable for disputes, breakups, or relational consequences between members of a couple using the Application.
Technical: The publisher strives to keep the Application accessible but disclaims all liability in the event of temporary interruption, bugs, data loss (particularly without synchronization), or malfunction due to force majeure or the hosting provider.
The publisher's liability, for any proven direct damage, is limited to the amount actually paid by the User for the Application over the preceding twelve months, or to zero euros while the service is free.

Article 13 — Availability and Evolution of the Service

The publisher reserves the right to modify, add, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the features at any time, particularly for maintenance, technical, or editorial reasons, without any compensation being claimable.

Article 14 — Amendment of the Terms

The publisher reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time.

In the event of a minor amendment (rewording, correction), the update date will be revised.
In the event of a substantial amendment (pricing change, major service evolution), the User will be informed via in-app notification or email.

Continued use after notification constitutes acceptance of the new Terms, subject to mandatory consumer rights.

Amendments relating to personal data are governed by the Privacy Policy.

Article 15 — Applicable Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by French law.

In the event of a dispute, and failing amicable resolution, the competent courts shall be those of the publisher's registered office, subject to mandatory rules applicable to consumers (the consumer may bring proceedings before the court of their place of residence at the time the contract was concluded).
