1. Piphany Is a Reflection Tool

Piphany is an AI-powered journaling and reflection companion. It may help you reflect, organize thoughts, notice patterns, and prepare for conversations with a therapist, coach, or trusted support person.

Piphany is not therapy, medical care, diagnosis, treatment, crisis counseling, emergency monitoring, or an emergency service.

If you are in immediate danger, may harm yourself, may harm someone else, or need urgent help, call 911 or 988 in the U.S., or contact local emergency services.

Piphany uses artificial intelligence. AI can misunderstand, hallucinate, omit important context, or generate responses that are not appropriate for your situation.

You are responsible for evaluating Piphany's responses and deciding whether to rely on them. Do not rely on Piphany for medical, mental health, legal, financial, emergency, or crisis advice.

You may submit reflections, messages, notes, journal entries, or other content to Piphany ("User Content").

You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant Piphany the right to process, store, transmit, analyze, summarize, and display User Content as needed to provide, secure, support, and improve the service.

Do not submit content that you do not have the right to provide or that violates the rights of another person.

If practitioner sharing is available, you may choose to authorize Piphany to share summaries or selected reflection information with a therapist, coach, or other practitioner.
