Terms of Service

Last updated: 11.08.2026

Effective: 11.08.2026

1. Who we are and what this is

Cookie Jar ("the App") is an iOS application published by “Plumya” Tomasz Milczarek, Warszaw, Poland ("we", "us"). You can reach us at hello@cookiesjar.app.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and us governing your use of the App. By downloading, installing or using Cookie Jar, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the App and delete it from your device.

The App lets you record personal achievements as illustrated cookies kept in virtual jars, and optionally reminds you of them later.

2. No account, no registration

Cookie Jar has no user accounts. There is no sign-up, no password, no profile, and no login to any service operated by us. You do not create an account with us and we do not issue you credentials.

The App uses the Apple Account (iCloud) already signed in on your device to synchronise your data across your own devices, as described in Section 4. That relationship is between you and Apple. We do not receive your Apple Account, your email address, your name, or any identifier that would let us recognise you.

3. Licence to use the App

We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable licence to use Cookie Jar on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and the Usage Rules therein.

You may not, and may not permit anyone else to:

• copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App;

• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;

• rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App;

• remove or obscure any proprietary notices.

The App, its source code, artwork, animations, illustrations, copy, and the Cookie Jar name and icon remain our property or that of our licensors. Fonts and other third-party components are used under their own licences.

4. Your content and your data

4.1 What you create

The notes you write on each cookie, the names you give your jars, and the arrangement of your jars are your content ("Your Content"). You own it. You keep owning it.

We claim no licence over Your Content, because we never receive it. We ask for no rights to reproduce, display, publish, or analyse it, and we grant ourselves none in these Terms.

4.2 Where it is stored

Your Content is stored in two places, both under your control:

• On your device, in the App's local database.

• In your personal iCloud account, in a private CloudKit database owned by you.

The iCloud copy exists so your jars appear on your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. It is stored in Apple's infrastructure under your account, subject to Apple's iCloud terms and privacy policy, and it counts toward your iCloud storage allowance.

We operate no servers for Cookie Jar. We have no database of users, no backend, no administrative access to your private CloudKit database, and no technical means to read, retrieve, export, or restore Your Content. If you lose it, we cannot recover it for you.

4.3 Responsibility for what you write

You are responsible for Your Content. Because the App is a private, single-user journal with no sharing, publishing, or social features, Your Content is not visible to us or to other users. You should nonetheless avoid recording information you would not want visible to anyone with access to your unlocked device, since the App displays your notes on screen and may include them in the text of notifications.

5. Synchronisation and the risk of data loss

Read this section carefully. It describes real limitations, not boilerplate.

Synchronisation depends on Apple's iCloud and CloudKit services and on conditions outside our control, including your network connection, your available iCloud storage, whether you are signed in to iCloud, and whether iCloud Drive is enabled for the App. Sync is not instantaneous and is not guaranteed.

In particular:

• If you sign out of iCloud, disable iCloud for Cookie Jar, or run out of iCloud storage, changes will stop syncing and may not reach your other devices.

• If you edit the same jar on two devices while one of them is offline, the App resolves the conflict automatically and one version of a changed value may replace the other.

• Deleting the App from a device does not delete the copy in your iCloud account. Deleting your data from iCloud, or deleting your Apple Account, removes it everywhere and it cannot be recovered by us.

• Removing a cookie ("eating" it) and deleting a jar are permanent. Deleting a jar also deletes every cookie inside it. There is no undo and no archive.

The App is not a backup service. We strongly recommend you do not rely on Cookie Jar as the only record of anything that matters to you. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss, corruption, duplication, or non-delivery of Your Content.

6. Notifications

If you allow them, the App schedules up to three local reminders per day at fixed times. These reminders are generated on your device by iOS. They are not push notifications sent by us, and no server of ours is involved in producing or delivering them.

Reminder text quotes achievements you have written, so your notes may appear on your Lock Screen and in your notification history. If that is not what you want, turn notifications off in the App's Settings screen or in the iOS Settings app.

You can change the number of daily reminders, or disable them entirely, at any time.

7. Purchases

7.1 What is sold

Cookie Jar is free to download and includes core functionality at no charge. Some capacity — such as the number of cookies a jar holds and the number of jars you can keep — may require a one-time in-app purchase that permanently unlocks it for your Apple Account.

The purchase is a one-time payment. It is not a subscription, does not renew, and will not be charged again.

7.2 How payment works

All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not see, receive, or store your payment card details, billing address, or any other payment information. Prices are shown in the App before you confirm and vary by territory.

7.3 Restoring a purchase

Your purchase is tied to the Apple Account that made it. If you reinstall the App or install it on another device signed in to that Apple Account, use the "Restore Purchases" option in the App to reactivate it at no additional cost.

7.4 Refunds

Refunds for App Store purchases are handled exclusively by Apple under its own policies, and we have no ability to grant, deny, or process them. Request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.

7.5 Consumers in the European Union and the European Economic Area

Where you are a consumer in the EU or EEA, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a contract for digital content. By purchasing and immediately accessing the unlocked functionality, you request that performance begin at once and acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal once performance has begun.

This does not affect your statutory rights regarding digital content that is not in conformity with the contract. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer protections available to you under the law of your country of residence.

7.6 Changes to what is offered

We may change prices, and we may add, alter, or discontinue paid functionality in future versions. If you have already bought a one-time unlock, we will not revoke it or convert it into a recurring charge. We do not promise that any specific future feature will be included in a purchase you have already made.

8. What Cookie Jar is not

Cookie Jar is a journaling and motivation app for entertainment and personal-reflection purposes. It displays short encouraging phrases alongside your recorded achievements.

It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, or professional advice. It is not a treatment for any condition, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. Do not use it as one. If you are struggling with your mental health, please contact a healthcare professional or an appropriate support service in your country.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the App:

• in violation of any applicable law;

• to store content that is unlawful to possess;

• in any way that interferes with, disrupts, or attempts to gain unauthorised access to Apple's services or to any system.

10. Availability, updates and discontinuation

We provide the App on an "as available" basis. We may release updates that change, add, or remove functionality, and some updates may require a newer version of iOS.

We may stop distributing or supporting Cookie Jar at any time. If we do, versions already installed will generally keep working for as long as they remain compatible with iOS and with Apple's services, but we cannot guarantee this, and we do not undertake to maintain compatibility indefinitely.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that defects will be corrected.

If you are a consumer, you may have statutory rights that cannot be excluded. Nothing in this section limits those rights.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the App.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App and these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us, or paid through the App Store for the App and its in-app purchases, in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) EUR 50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

13. Apple

You acknowledge and agree that:

• These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.

• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the App. Any support requests should be sent to hello@cookiesjar.app

• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.

• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

• We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.

• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

14. Privacy

Our handling of information is described in our Privacy Policy, available in the App's Settings screen and at:

https://statuesque-coyote-456.notion.site/Cookie-Jar-App-PP-3b7bea29e5b680b680d0e067cfb2478a

In short: the App collects no personal data for us, contains no analytics or advertising SDKs, and transmits nothing to any server we operate.

15. Age

The App is not directed at children under 13. If you are under the age of majority in your country, you should use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the App or to applicable law. The current version is always available in the App's Settings screen. Where a change materially reduces your rights, we will make it visible in the App before it takes effect. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

17. Termination

You may end this agreement at any time by deleting the App. We may terminate it if you materially breach these Terms. Sections 4, 5, 11, 12, and 13 survive termination.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

19. General

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
