Terms of Use — True Path

1. Acceptance of the Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the True Path mobile app (available for Android and iOS) and the website www.truepath.com.br (collectively, the “Platform”), operated by Associação True Path, a private legal entity incorporated as a nonprofit association (Civil Code, Art. 53), registered with the CNPJ under No. 62.136.935/0001-57, with headquarters at Rua Horácio Bandieri, 209, São Paulo-SP, ZIP Code 05653-030 (“True Path,” “we,” or “Association”).

By creating an account, checking the acceptance boxes during onboarding, or using any feature of the Platform, you (“User” or “you”) represent that you have read, understood, and fully agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms:

• True Path Content: all material developed, organized, curated, or produced by the Association, including personalized Bible reading plans, devotionals, reflections, texts, audio files, videos, icons, branding, visual identity, personalization methodology, prompts, conversational flows, knowledge base, and app architecture.
• User Content: notes, messages sent in chat, responses during onboarding, prayer logs, bookmarks, and any data voluntarily entered by the User on the Platform.
• Bible AI Chat: Natural language interaction feature using artificial intelligence models integrated into the Platform.
• LGPD: Law No. 13,709/2018 — General Personal Data Protection Law.

3. Eligibility and Registration

3.1. Minimum Age

The Platform is intended exclusively for individuals 18 (eighteen) years of age or older. By registering, the User declares, under penalty of law, that he or she is of legal age and fully capable of entering into civil transactions (Civil Code, Art. 5).

The Association does not allow individuals under the age of 18 to register, even with the consent of a legal guardian. This restriction stems from the fact that the Platform:

• Collects sensitive personal data (LGPD, Art. 11), including information about feelings, personal challenges, and religious beliefs;
• It offers an AI-powered Bible chat that can address sensitive topics;
• It offers reflections and content designed for an adult audience that possesses full capacity for discernment and takes responsibility for its own spiritual decisions.

The Association may, at any time, request proof of age and suspend or terminate accounts if there is reasonable suspicion that they are being used by a person under the age of 18. If an irregular registration is identified, the account will be closed and the personal data deleted, in accordance with the policy described in the Privacy Policy.

3.2. Registration

To access all features, the User must provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information. It is the User’s responsibility to:

• Maintain the confidentiality of access credentials;
• Immediately report any unauthorized use of the account;
• Do not share your account with third parties.

3.3. Single Account

Each user may maintain only one active account. Duplicate, fake, or fraudulent accounts may be deleted without prior notice.
