Terms of Service

About this app

Dialectica is a DBT diary card and skill-support companion. It is intended for use by people currently enrolled in or supported by a DBT program. It is not a medical device, therapy service, diagnosis tool, or crisis line.

Not a clinical service

This app does not provide diagnosis, clinical assessment, treatment recommendations, or therapy. Nothing in this app constitutes medical or mental health advice. Always follow the guidance of your therapist, DBT team, or treatment provider.

First pilot scope

During this first guided pilot, the following features are intentionally limited:

• Diary data is not automatically shared with therapists. Any export is user-initiated.
• Research participation is not active. No data is used for research during this pilot.
• AI-generated session briefs are disabled. Session preparation summaries are based on your own logged diary card data only.

Crisis situations

If you are in crisis or immediate danger, contact your DBT coaching line, therapist, emergency services (911), or a crisis line (e.g. 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the US). This app is not a substitute for crisis care.

Account responsibility

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Do not share your login with others.

Acceptable use

This app is for personal use in the context of DBT treatment follow-through. Do not attempt to access other users' data or misuse the platform in any way.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Termination

You may delete your account at any time from Settings. We reserve the right to suspend accounts that misuse the platform.
