Terms of Service

Last updated: June 5, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using NoCrumbs (“the platform,” “the service,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use NoCrumbs.

These Terms apply to all users of the platform, including registered members, visitors, and contributors of voice and text stories. By continuing to use NoCrumbs after changes are posted, you accept the updated Terms.

2. Description of Service

NoCrumbs is a voice-first platform where people share lessons learned from real-life experiences, setbacks, failures, mistakes, and comebacks. Our mission is to create a community of honest storytelling — where vulnerability becomes a source of strength and shared wisdom.

The platform allows users to:

  • Create an account using email/password or Google Sign-In
  • Record and upload voice stories capturing personal experiences
  • Write and share text stories, lessons, and reflections
  • Browse, listen to, and read stories shared by the community
  • Engage with stories through reactions and conversations
  • Build a personal archive of their growth journey

3. User Accounts

Creating an Account

You may create a NoCrumbs account using your email address and a password, or by signing in with your Google account via Google OAuth. Both methods are equally valid and provide full access to the platform.

Account Security

You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account credentials
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorised access to your account

Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and to keep your account information updated. Impersonation of other users, public figures, or organisations is strictly prohibited.

One Account Per Person

Each person may maintain one NoCrumbs account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent bans or platform rules is not permitted.

4. Voice Stories & User Content

You Own Your Stories

You retain full ownership of all voice recordings and written stories you upload or create on NoCrumbs. We do not claim ownership over your content.

NoCrumbs is a space for real, personal stories. Content that is clearly fictional, misleading, or designed to manipulate the community is not permitted.
