Terms of Use

1. Eligibility and Required Environment

You may use the App only if you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms. If you are a minor, you must obtain the consent of a parent or legal guardian before using the App. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining, at your own expense, a compatible Android device, the operating system, and any network connection needed for features that use a network.

2. License and Intellectual Property

Subject to these Terms, the Operator grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use the App to organize notifications that you are authorized to access on your device, including in ordinary personal or work settings.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Operator or the applicable rightsholder. Copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights in the App and its content belong to the Operator or the applicable rightsholder; no such rights are transferred to you.

3. Notification Capture and App Features

NotifyPost is a tool for reviewing and organizing notifications received on your Android device. To capture notifications, you must grant Android notification access, select the source apps you want to capture, and start capture in the App. Capture applies to new notifications received while it is active; the App does not retrieve notifications that arrived before capture started.

Android, your device manufacturer, battery or privacy settings, the source app, or notification content and delivery behavior may prevent a notification from being captured or may limit the information available. The App does not guarantee that it will capture every notification or the full text or media shown by a source app. Pausing capture or revoking notification access stops or limits future capture but does not delete notifications already saved in the App.

The App's saved read or completed status is for NotifyPost and does not synchronize with or change the status in the source app. Opening a source notification may use a temporary Android action supplied by the source app. That action may expire, be one-time, be canceled, or become unavailable after the source notification or app changes, the App process ends, or the device restarts. The Operator cannot guarantee that a saved notification will open or navigate to its original location.

Optional scheduled reminders are subject to Android scheduling and device settings and may be delayed or not delivered. Reminder text is generic and does not reproduce the saved notification. Do not rely on the App or its reminders for emergencies, safety-critical messages, or other time-critical matters.

4. Your Data, Retention, and Device Security

The App has no user account, subscription, or in-app purchase. Notification history, search, and organization data are stored locally on your device. The App does not upload that data to the Operator and does not offer cloud sync or server-side restore.

The default automatic-retention period for saved notifications is 30 days. You may choose 7, 30, 90, or 365 days. Items marked Later or pinned are protected from automatic expiration; archived items remain subject to the selected retention period. Deleting a saved notification removes its saved copy and revisions from the App, but does not delete the notification from its source app or any file you already exported. Delete All removes saved notifications and their revisions but leaves label definitions, automatic-label rules, and settings in place.

You may manually export saved information as JSON to a destination you choose. An export can contain notification text, notes, revisions, and labels. The App does not import that file or sync it to another device. You are responsible for choosing a secure destination and protecting any exported file. Uninstalling the App removes its local data, subject to exports or copies retained by device-level tools. The App is configured to exclude its data from Android automated backup and device-to-device transfer, but this cannot guarantee exclusion from every manufacturer-provided migration or backup tool.

An optional biometric or device-credential view lock protects access to the App's screens only; it does not encrypt the local database. The Operator does not receive your biometric information. Notifications can contain sensitive information about you or other people. You are responsible for securing your device and exports and for using notification content you are authorized to access and handle.

5. Advertising and Third-Party Services

The free App currently displays one banner advertisement. Advertising and consent management use Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google's User Messaging Platform. Google and parties involved in advertising may process information described in the Hinomaru Labs Privacy Policy under their own terms and privacy policies. Advertising requests do not include notification text, saved history, search terms, selected source apps, labels, automatic-label rules, or notes. Core notification review and organization features remain available when an advertisement is unavailable or not displayed.

The Operator does not endorse or control an advertiser, advertised product or service, or linked third-party service. The availability and operation of Google Play, Android, advertising, and other third-party services are outside the Operator's control and may change.

6. Privacy

The handling of information in connection with the App is explained in the Hinomaru Labs Privacy Policy.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You must not:

• violate applicable law or these Terms, or use the App to infringe another person's rights;
• copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or publicly transmit the App without authorization;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
• bypass or interfere with the App's access-control or security functions;
• gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, introduce malicious code, or interfere with the App or related services; or
• remove or alter a copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.

8. Changes, Suspension, and Discontinuation

The Operator may add, change, restrict, suspend, or discontinue features, specifications, supported environments, availability, or support for the App. The Operator may suspend or discontinue all or part of the App when reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, third-party service issues, legal or marketplace requirements, or other operational reasons. The Operator does not guarantee continued availability, updates, or support.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. The Operator does not warrant that notification capture will be complete, that stored content will remain available, that the App or reminders will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that a source notification can be reopened. The Operator makes no other express or implied warranty regarding accuracy, completeness, usefulness, fitness for a particular purpose, compatibility, or continued provision.

10. Limitation of Liability

The Operator is not liable for damage not attributable to the Operator, including damage arising from your breach of these Terms, your device or operating system, notification delivery or content, a source app, a network, Google Play, an advertisement, or another third-party service. The Operator is not liable for damage caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as a natural disaster, power or network failure, cyberattack, third-party conduct, or governmental action.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damage, loss of profits, opportunity, or comparable loss. If the Operator is liable to you, that liability is limited to actual, direct, and ordinary damage.

The exclusions and limitations in this section do not apply to damage resulting from the Operator's willful misconduct or gross negligence, or to the extent they are not permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits consumer rights or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, if your intentional or negligent violation of these Terms, unlawful conduct, or infringement of a third party's rights causes damage to the Operator, you must compensate the Operator for that damage, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

12. Changes to These Terms

The Operator may amend these Terms when necessary. The revised Terms and their effective date will be posted on this page. For a material change, the Operator will provide reasonable notice and any notice required by applicable law. A change applies from its stated effective date and does not retroactively alter rights or obligations that accrued before that date, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

13. Transfer, Severability, and No Waiver

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without the Operator's prior written consent. The Operator may transfer its rights and obligations relating to the App or these Terms as part of a business reorganization or transfer, subject to applicable law.

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. The Operator's failure or delay in exercising a right does not waive that right.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, subject to any mandatory law that applies to you. Any dispute is subject to the jurisdiction of the district court or summary court having jurisdiction over the Operator's address as the court of first instance, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you are a consumer, nothing in this section limits your right to rely on mandatory consumer protections or to bring proceedings before a court that has jurisdiction under applicable consumer law.
