1. Who operates the service

These Terms govern the 1Million Secrets mobile app (also written "One Million Secrets") and related services. Your agreement is with Tien Dang, an individual trading as 995 Studio, located in the United States. 995 Studio is a brand, not a separate incorporated company. "We", "us" and "our" refer to that individual as operator.

Support, legal notices, safety reports and reviews of decisions: support@995studio.com. You can also report a message from inside the app.
Privacy Policy: 995studio.com/one-million-secrets/privacy-policy.html
Community Guidelines: 995studio.com/one-million-secrets/community-guidelines.html

You agree to these Terms by ticking the agreement box when you set up your account. You can read and save them at any time on this page. If you do not agree, do not create an account or send messages. Our Privacy Policy explains how we process data; acknowledging it is separate from any optional consent the law requires. Mandatory consumer and privacy rights still apply.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter this agreement where you live. If the age of contractual capacity where you live is higher than 18, you must meet that higher age. The service is unavailable where prohibited by law or where we restrict it. Being able to download the app in a store does not mean every feature is lawful in every country.

Sign in with an available method (Google, email and password, or Sign in with Apple on iPhone and iPad). Email accounts must verify their address before sending, receiving, watching rewarded ads or buying credits. Use accurate account information and an account you are authorized to control. Keep your credentials secure, do not share or sell your account, and tell us promptly about unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity you authorize and for reasonable care of your credentials, not automatically for every unauthorized action regardless of fault.

Do not impersonate anyone, misstate your age, automate account creation, use multiple accounts to get around limits, or evade a suspension or ban. We may run proportionate eligibility and security checks. Accounts suspected of underage use may be restricted while we review them.

3. How anonymous messages work

The app lets you submit a message of up to 2,000 characters for delivery to one randomly selected eligible recipient. It never shows either person's account identity to the other. Recipients cannot reply. We do not promise that a message will be delivered immediately, to a particular place or type of person, or at all if no eligible recipient is available. There is no promise of a reply, friendship, counseling or a continuing match.

Your Sent list shows a message as Sent while it waits and Received once it is in someone's inbox. "Received" does not mean the person read or understood it. A waiting message has no expiry date. You can withdraw it at any time before delivery, and any credit you used is returned. If our server rejects a message, your free send is restored or your credit is returned.

You choose whether to receive strangers' messages automatically and can turn this on or off at any time in Account → Settings. Turning it off stops future matches; a message already delivered stays, and your history is not erased. Turning receiving on does not guarantee that a message will arrive. Receiving extra messages costs credits only when you choose Receive more and confirm the cost shown in the app.

We keep account, message, sender and recipient, and moderation records as described in the Privacy Policy. The service is anonymous to other users. It is not untraceable to us or immune from lawful investigation. Recipients may guess who you are from your words, and they can copy or share them outside the app. Do not rely on the app for confidentiality.

4. Safety and emergency limits

Messages come from strangers and may be inaccurate, upsetting, manipulative, offensive or dangerous despite our safeguards. Do not send money, meet a stranger, share contact details, or follow dangerous instructions because of a message. Messages are not professional medical, mental-health, legal or financial advice and do not create a confidential professional relationship.

1Million Secrets is not an emergency, crisis-response, welfare-check or real-time monitoring service. Reports and messages may not be reviewed immediately. If you or another person is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services directly. Do not rely on sending a message or filing a report in the app to get help.

You can hide an unwanted message, report it, and block its anonymous sender without learning who they are. Blocking prevents further matches with that account, but it cannot protect against every new or evasive account. Turning off receiving is an additional control.

These warnings do not excuse us from duties the law places on us or from taking reasonable action required of the service. Reporting a threat does not make the app responsible for emergency response.

5. Community rules and prohibited use

You must use the service lawfully and respectfully and follow our Community Guidelines. In particular, you must not:

send, encourage or facilitate threats, violence, stalking, extortion, targeted harassment, bullying, hate speech, discriminatory abuse or exploitation;
promote suicide or self-harm, give encouragement or instructions for harming anyone, or exploit a person in distress;
send child sexual abuse or exploitation material, sexual content involving minors, grooming, non-consensual intimate content, sexually explicit or pornographic content, trafficking or sexual solicitation, or use the app to recruit, target or contact minors;
share personal contact information, exact addresses, financial credentials, identity documents, private images, doxxing material or anyone's confidential information;
impersonate anyone, defame, commit fraud, ask for money, or send scams, spam, malware or deceptive links, or infringe intellectual property or privacy rights;
get around filters with disguised words, character substitutions, encoded contact details or other tricks;
submit malicious or coordinated false reports, manipulate ad rewards, tamper with purchases, scrape users or messages, reverse engineer the app where the law prohibits it, interfere with security, or exploit service errors.

Report suspected child exploitation through the in-app Report option or by email, without forwarding or redistributing the illegal material. Research or interoperability rights that cannot lawfully be restricted are not affected. Paying, holding credits or watching ads never buys an exception to these rules.

6. Filtering, reports and bans

The app and our server automatically check messages for contact details (such as emails, phone numbers, links and social handles) and for listed harmful words. Matching text cannot be sent. Filters can miss violations or block acceptable text, and no filter can guarantee safety or confidentiality. We may decline, hold, remove or limit messages and take proportionate account action for violations, credible safety concerns, fraud, legal duties or serious risks to the service.

Report reasons are: harassment or bullying; hate speech or discrimination; threats or promotion of violence; inappropriate sexual content; child exploitation or safety concern; encouraging suicide or self-harm; spam, scam or deceptive content; sharing private information or revealing someone's identity; and other inappropriate content. A report may include an optional note of up to 250 characters. Each message can be reported once by its recipient. Report honestly and include only relevant information.

Automatic report thresholds. Accepted reports are counted against the sender's account for its lifetime and do not reset when a ban ends:

3 counted reports: the account is banned for 3 days (72 hours);
4 counted reports: the account is banned for 7 days (168 hours), starting from the fourth report;
5 or more counted reports: the account is banned permanently.

These bans apply automatically when a threshold is reached. A counted report is an allegation, not proof of wrongdoing. While banned, an account cannot send, receive, watch rewarded ads, buy credits or share through the app, but can still view its account status, report messages it received, contact support and delete the account. Messages still waiting are held during a temporary ban; on a permanent ban they are removed, and credits spent on them are returned. Your credit balance and purchase history are kept. We may also act immediately, without waiting for a threshold, for serious violations such as threats or child-safety concerns.

We keep report and enforcement records, including reporter and reported-account references, timestamps, reasons, counts and outcomes, as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not disclose a reporter's identity or note to the reported user, except where law, safety or fairness strictly requires a limited disclosure.

When a ban is applied, the app shows its length or that it is permanent, the reported reasons, and when it ends. Reviews: if you believe a restriction resulted from a technical error, invalid or coordinated false reports, or another mistake, email support@995studio.com from your account's email address with the details. A person will review it, and if we find the reports were invalid we will void them and correct the restriction. A review request does not lift a ban while it is being considered. Statutory review rights are not limited by this section.

7. Free allowance and credits

Each eligible account gets one free send per calendar day, resetting at midnight in your device's time zone. Each eligible account with Receive automatically turned on also gets one free incoming message; after it arrives, the next one unlocks at the following local midnight. Free allowances are not cash and do not build up.

Credits can be bought in a pack of 10, priced at US $1.99 in the United States. Local store prices, currency and taxes are shown by the App Store or Google Play before you buy and may differ from a simple currency conversion. One credit pays for one of the following:

one send beyond your free daily send; or
one 24-hour search for one extra incoming message (Receive more). If no message arrives in those 24 hours, the credit is returned. With the automatic Every day or Nonstop modes, each extra message costs 1 credit and the mode stops when your credits run out. You can change the mode once an hour; turning it off returns the credit for a request still waiting.

A credit is a single-use entitlement, not unlimited sending for a day. Credits do not guarantee delivery, a particular recipient or a response. A credit is deducted only when our server accepts your message or request, not when you open the composer or start a payment. Rejected messages, and messages you withdraw before delivery, do not use a credit. If you think a credit was deducted incorrectly, contact support with the reference shown in the app.

Credits belong to your account and work on all your devices where you sign in to that account. They cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash except where the law requires, and they have no investment value. Purchased and earned credits do not expire while your account and the service remain available, subject to the enforcement and closure terms below. Unused credits are lost if you delete your account. Future price changes do not reduce credits you already have.

8. Rewarded advertising

You may choose to watch an available rewarded ad to earn one credit after Google confirms the ad was completed. The maximum is three rewarded ads per calendar day. The day resets at midnight in your account's time zone, which follows your device's time zone automatically (updated at most once every 24 hours); the app shows when more ads become available. This is a calendar-day limit, not a rolling 24-hour limit.

An ad counts toward the daily limit once it starts playing, even if it then fails or you close it before the reward. If no ad is available, no attempt is used. No reward is due for fabricated, duplicate or manipulated completions. If a genuine completion is not credited, contact support with the reference shown in the app; we investigate and correct verified errors. We may temporarily restrict rewards to prevent fraud, with a way to challenge mistakes.

Watching ads is voluntary. Ad tracking choices are separate from agreeing to these Terms (see the Privacy Policy). Advertisers' offers are their own, and any purchase from an advertiser is governed by that advertiser's terms, without limiting our legal obligations.

9. One-time Remove ads purchase

Remove ads is a one-time in-app purchase, not a subscription. It removes banner ads from your 1Million Secrets account on all your devices, on both iOS and Android, for as long as that account and the service remain available. Its price is the local price shown before purchase. It does not remove user messages, essential notices, or rewarded ads you choose to watch.

"Permanent" here means an ongoing account entitlement, not a promise that the service will run forever. We will not deliberately bring banner ads back to an account with a valid entitlement or charge a renewal fee for it. A verified refund or reversal removes the entitlement.

To restore it, sign in to the same account and use Account → Remove ads → Restore purchase, or Account → Sync purchases. Check your status before buying again. If you delete your account, the entitlement is deleted with it and cannot be moved to a new account. Contact support if restoring fails.

10. Payments, refunds and service closure

Purchases are made through Apple's App Store or Google Play, which display and process the transaction under their own terms. We verify each purchase with the store before granting credits or Remove ads. Keep your receipt, and never send us your full card details. Report unauthorized payments promptly to the store and to us.

Refunds, cancellation rights, remedies for defective digital content and any statutory withdrawal rights are governed by applicable law and the store's procedures. Request refunds from Apple or Google Play. These Terms do not impose an absolute no-refund rule, and agreeing to them alone does not waive a withdrawal right.

If a purchase is refunded or reversed, the matching credits or entitlement are removed (for a credit pack, 10 credits; if your balance goes below zero, extra spending pauses until it recovers). We do not deduct unrelated paid value as a penalty, and a good-faith refund request or dispute is not misconduct.

If we materially discontinue a paid feature or close the service, we will give reasonable advance notice where feasible and handle unused paid value and other remedies according to applicable law and store requirements. We do not claim a right to confiscate paid value. Ending an account for a serious proven violation may stop further use, but statutory refund and consumer rights survive.

11. Your content and permitted use

You keep any rights you have in your messages. You confirm that you have the rights needed to send them and that they follow these Terms. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license only to host, store, reproduce, format, transmit and display your content as needed to run the service, keep your history, moderate abuse, support users and comply with law. Our service providers may do this for us.

This license does not let us sell your private messages or use them in public advertising. It ends when the content is removed from our systems, except for permitted retention, backup periods and copies already delivered, as described in the Privacy Policy.

A recipient may read and keep a delivered message for personal use. Receiving a message does not transfer copyright or authorize public republication of someone else's protected or private content. If you use the share feature, you are responsible for making sure sharing is lawful and does not reveal personal or confidential information. The share feature is not the author's permission or a guarantee that sharing is safe.

The app, its software, branding and other materials we provide belong to us or our licensors. Subject to these Terms, we give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the app on supported devices for its intended purpose. Rights required by applicable law are preserved.

12. Intellectual property complaints

To report alleged infringement, email support@995studio.com with the subject "Copyright complaint" and include: the work or right concerned; the message or material and enough information to find it (for example, a screenshot shared in the app); your contact details; your authority to act; the basis of your claim; and any statements required by applicable law. Do not knowingly submit a false claim.

We review notices and take appropriate action, including removal or restriction where justified and measures against repeat infringers where required. If a counter-notice or appeal process applies, we will tell you how to use it.

13. Availability, changes and account closure

We aim to keep the service working but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free delivery, compatibility with every device, or permanent preservation of every message. Maintenance, network faults, store restrictions and events beyond our reasonable control may interrupt access. This does not remove statutory quality, security or performance obligations.

We may make reasonable updates to improve safety, security or functionality. Material changes that adversely affect paid rights will come with appropriate notice and any remedy or consent required by law. We do not change completed purchases retroactively by editing these Terms.

You may stop using the app at any time and delete your account in Account → Settings → Delete account, or by following our account deletion page. Deleting is different from uninstalling. Before confirming, note that unused credits and Remove ads are lost and your history is removed. We keep only the data the Privacy Policy and applicable law allow.

We may restrict or end access for material violations, serious safety risks, fraud, legal requirements or service closure, using the notice and review steps above where appropriate. When access ends, your permission to use the app ends. Terms about accrued payments, lawful retention, intellectual property, disputes and liability survive only as far as their nature requires.

14. Disclaimers and limits of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as available", without implied promises beyond those required by law or expressly made in these Terms. We do not warrant that strangers' messages are truthful, safe, lawful, appropriate or confidential, or that filtering will catch every prohibited message.

Users are responsible for their own unlawful acts and the content they choose to send. We do not adopt or endorse users' statements. To the extent legally permitted, we are not liable merely because another user sends harmful content or acts unlawfully. This is not a release from our own non-excludable duties, our own wrongful conduct, or liability the law assigns to us.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, business interruption, or loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was made. For claims that may lawfully be limited, our total liability arising from the service is limited to the greater of US $100 (or the local equivalent) and the amount you paid us for the service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These exclusions and the cap do not apply to fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misconduct, gross negligence where exclusion is prohibited, death or personal injury caused by negligence where liability cannot be limited, mandatory consumer remedies, non-excludable privacy or data-protection liability, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where a particular exclusion or cap is not enforceable, applicable law controls.

Nothing here requires you to give up the right to report wrongdoing, complain to a regulator, seek legally available relief, or hold us responsible for our own unlawful conduct. You acknowledge the disclosed risks of interacting with strangers, but you do not take on risks the law does not allow us to transfer to you.

15. Responsibility for third-party claims

Where the law permits, you are responsible for direct, reasonable losses and costs from a third-party claim caused by your deliberate unlawful content or intentional material breach of these Terms, to the extent your conduct caused them. This does not make you responsible for our negligence or wrongdoing, for ordinary good-faith use, or for amounts consumer law prohibits.

We must give you reasonable notice of such a claim and a chance to respond, cooperate reasonably, limit the loss, and not settle in a way that imposes liability or admissions on you without your agreement. This section does not override non-waivable local protections and is not an unlimited obligation to defend every claim against us.

16. Law, disputes and general terms

Governing law: subject to mandatory law, these Terms are governed by the laws of [Governing law, e.g. the State of California, United States]. If you are a consumer, you keep the protections of the law where you normally live that cannot be waived, and nothing forces you to bring a claim in a foreign court if the law lets you sue locally.

Please contact support with enough detail for us to investigate a dispute. Talking to us first is encouraged but is not required before urgent relief, regulator complaints or statutory deadlines. Competent courts decide disputes under the applicable rules of jurisdiction. These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver.

If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest continues to the extent lawful and workable. Not enforcing a right immediately is not a waiver. We may transfer the service and this agreement only with appropriate safeguards and without unlawfully reducing your rights. You may not transfer your account except as the law requires or we permit.

We will tell you about material changes in the app before they take effect where required, and ask you to accept again where a material contractual change needs it. Changes do not excuse past wrongdoing or remove rights you already have. The current version is always available on this page.

17. Apple and Google platform terms

If you got the app from Apple's App Store: this agreement is between you and the operator, not Apple. The operator, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content, maintenance and support, and for handling product, consumer-protection, legal-compliance and intellectual-property claims about the app, subject to law. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.

Your license allows use on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the App Store usage rules, including Family Sharing where applicable. If the app fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app (if any); beyond that, Apple has no other warranty obligation to the extent permitted by law. The operator, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging any third-party claim that the app or your use of it infringes intellectual property rights.

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You must comply with applicable third-party terms (such as your network provider's) when using the app. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting", and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

If you got the app from Google Play: Google Play's terms govern the store and purchases made through it. Distributing the app does not make Google the operator of 1Million Secrets.

Neither platform's terms remove your mandatory rights.
