Terms and Conditions

1. About the Platform

Serena App is a global platform that offers emotional well-being support, helping users manage stress, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being through a chatbot integrated with WhatsApp, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based techniques. The platform is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering immediate and personalized support in various regions.

2. User Responsibility

The user is responsible for interacting appropriately with the chatbot and following the proposed guidelines. The use of Serena App does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment, and the app is not responsible for damages resulting from misuse of the platform or failure to follow the chatbot’s recommendations.

3. Platform Limitations

3.1. Message Content: The chatbot provides support focused on emotional well-being, stress management, and improving sleep quality. While Serena draws on CBT-based techniques, it does so without any therapeutic or clinical purpose and does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.

3.2. Medical Advice: Serena App should not be used as a substitute for professional health advice. In emergency situations, the user must seek immediate medical assistance.

3.3. Availability: Although Serena App is available 24/7, technical or service interruptions may occur due to maintenance or unforeseen circumstances.

4. Target Audience and Exclusions

Serena App is not suitable for users with severe mental health conditions, and we recommend that such users seek help from a doctor or psychotherapist or contact local emergency services.

5. Global Registration and Usage

5.1. Registration: To use the paid services, users must register with a valid phone number and provide true and accurate information.

5.2. Account Protection: The user is responsible for protecting their login credentials. In case of unauthorized use, they must notify Serena App immediately.

8. Right of Withdrawal (Global Consumers)

If the user is a consumer, they have the right to withdraw from the subscription within 14 days of the contract date, without giving any reason. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the user must inform Serena App via email before the end of the period. In the case of withdrawal:

8.1. Refund: Serena App will refund all payments made up to that point, using the same payment method as the original transaction unless otherwise agreed.

8.2. Proportional Use: If the service was used during the withdrawal period, the user will be responsible for paying a proportional amount for the services provided up to the date of withdrawal notification.

9.2. Data Ownership: Data generated during chatbot interactions belongs to the user. Conversations are stored encrypted and used only to give the assistant context so it can respond coherently — they are not used to train AI models. Serena App keeps this data confidential and never sells it.

9.3. Confidentiality: Confidential information shared with the chatbot will be kept confidential, except as required by law.
