Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: May 9, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Napkin.ai app ("App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"), including any future updates or modifications. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App.

2. User Content and Usage

Ownership: You retain ownership of any content you create, upload, or otherwise make available in the App ("User Content"). Napkin.ai does not claim ownership of your User Content.

Responsibility: You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of sharing or publishing it. Napkin.ai does not endorse any User Content or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein.

Rights You Grant to Napkin.ai: By creating, uploading, or sharing content on Napkin, you grant Napkin.ai a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, and store your content, solely as necessary to operate and improve our services. This includes:

  • Displaying Your Content to You and Your Collaborators: We may store, render, and display your content, both text and visuals, within your teamspace so that you and authorized collaborators can view, edit, and collaborate on it.
  • Sharing Your Content at Your Direction: If you choose to share your content or visuals via link sharing, export, or direct collaborator access, we may display or transmit that content to others only as instructed by you. We do not share your content with third parties unless you explicitly initiate the action.
  • Compliance with Legal Requirements: We may disclose your content if legally required, but only after making reasonable efforts to notify you (unless legally prohibited) and we will share only what is strictly necessary.

We do not use your content for marketing, promotion, or public display unless we get your explicit approval. This license is valid only while your content is stored with us and automatically ends when your content is deleted from our systems.

Content Usage: You may use the generated visual content for resale or marketing purposes. However, you are prohibited from reselling individual icons, illustrations, or collections resulting from searches.

Permitted Use: The App allows content creation similar to what is legally permitted in standard text and visual editors (e.g., Google Docs or Figma).

3. Account Access and Features

Login Requirement: You must be logged in to create content. Currently, We currently support Google login and email/password login.

Multi-User Feature: Similar to Google Docs, the App includes a real-time collaboration feature that allows users (with overlapping access rights) to see which other users are viewing the same napkin simultaneously.

4. Data Collection for AI Improvement

Data Collection for AI Improvement: To help improve Napkin's generative and search features, we may collect data submitted to our visual AI – such as selected text, prompts, and surrounding headers.

You can choose to opt out of this data collection at any time by visiting your profile settings and disabling the “Allow my content to improve Napkin.ai” option. When opted out, your content is never used to improve our models or product features, and is processed only to support your own sessions.

Protection of Your Personal Content: While we collect your input text and surrounding headers to improve our AI model, the data submitted is anonymized and your personal content will remain private. The AI transforms your text into visual descriptions without storing or using it for other users' content generation. Your unique ideas and information will never appear in others' visuals. The AI's knowledge comes from its underlying OpenAI and/or Google models, not from user inputs.

Original AI-Generated Visual Content: All visual content created by Napkin.ai is original and based on designs crafted internally by our designers. We do not use or incorporate images scraped from the internet. This ensures that the visuals you receive are unique creations based on your input, free from copyright concerns related to existing internet content.

By using Napkin.ai, you acknowledge and agree to these data collection and AI content generation practices.

5. Eligibility and Usage Limits
