Terms of Use

Last updated: May 2026

These terms govern your use of the Freckle application ("the app"), developed and maintained by Freckle. By downloading or using Freckle, you agree to these terms.

Not medical advice

Freckle is a personal logging and photo-tracking tool. It is not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Nothing in the app — including status tags such as "Stable," "Worth watching," or "Consult a provider" — constitutes medical advice.

These labels are reminders you set for yourself, not clinical assessments. Do not use them as a substitute for evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider.

If you notice changes to your skin that concern you, consult a dermatologist or other qualified medical professional. Do not delay seeking medical advice because of anything you see in this app.

Your data

All data you create in Freckle — photos, measurements, notes, and history — belongs to you. It is stored on your device. Freckle does not have access to your data and cannot retrieve it if your device is lost, damaged, or reset.

Freckle offers an optional Google Drive backup feature. If you enable it, your data is sent directly to your own Google account. Freckle does not store, access, or process your backed-up data. You are responsible for managing your own backups and for any data that is not backed up.

Acceptable use

You agree to use Freckle only for lawful personal use. You may not:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or modify the app beyond what is permitted by applicable law
• Use the app to store or process data belonging to others without their consent
• Attempt to circumvent any technical measures in the app

No warranty

Freckle is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Freckle makes no warranties regarding:

• The accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information in the app
• The app's fitness for any particular purpose
• Uninterrupted or error-free operation
• The safety or security of your data against device failure or theft

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Freckle is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — Freckle. This includes, without limitation, any loss of data, any health-related decisions made in connection with the app, or any reliance on information displayed in the app.

Third-party services

Freckle is distributed through the Google Play Store. Your use of that store is governed by Google's own terms of service, which apply independently of these terms.

If you enable Google Drive backup, your use of Google Drive is governed by Google's terms of service and privacy policy. Freckle is not responsible for the availability, security, or performance of Google Drive.

If you enable UV forecasting, Freckle retrieves forecast data from third-party weather services. This data is used solely to display UV information within the app. Freckle does not share your location or personal information with these services beyond what is required to retrieve forecast data for your area.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with a revised date at the top. Continued use of Freckle after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Because Freckle does not collect your contact information, it cannot notify you of changes directly.

Governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If you are using Freckle outside the United States, you agree that any disputes will be resolved under California law, to the extent permitted by the laws of your jurisdiction. Nothing in these terms limits any consumer protection rights that apply to you under the mandatory laws of your country of residence.
