Terms of Use

Tamsi (formerly Last Journal) · Effective: 22 October 2026

1. About these terms

These terms apply when you download or use the Tamsi app ("the app") and its optional cloud backup service ("the service"), provided by Aldene Villardo ("we", "us"). By using the app you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.

2. Using the app

We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or redistribute the app, attempt to extract its source code, make derivative versions, or use our name or trademarks without permission. The app and all intellectual property in it remain ours.

3. Your journal belongs to you

Everything you write, and every photo you add, is yours. We don't claim ownership of it and we don't use it for anything other than providing the service. You give us only the permission needed to store and transfer your encrypted backups on your behalf.

Your journal lives on your device. The app works fully without an account, and your entries and photos never leave your device unless you sign in and back up.

4. Accounts

Signing in is optional and is only needed for cloud backups. You're responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity under your account.

Signing in with a different method — for example Google instead of email and password — can create a separate account with separate backups, even with the same email address.

5. Premium subscriptions

Premium is an optional subscription, billed monthly or yearly through Google Play. Google Play handles payment, renewal, cancellation and refunds under its own terms. A free trial may be offered to new subscribers.

• Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in Google Play.
• A subscription applies to the Google Play account on the device where it was bought. Your photo storage and backups belong to your Tamsi account, which can be signed in on several devices; a device without the subscription gets the free limits.
• What Premium includes is described in the app and may change. We will tell you before we remove a feature you are paying for.

6. Cloud backups and photo storage

Backups and photos you upload are stored encrypted in the cloud, subject to limits:

These limits are current as of the effective date. We may change them; we will give you at least 30 days' notice before reducing them.

• We keep a limited number of backups and remove the oldest ones automatically when that number is reached. The current numbers are shown in the app.
• When photo storage is full, new photos stay on your device but are not included in backups until you free up space or upgrade. The app shows which photos aren't backed up.
• "Free up space" permanently deletes the selected photos from cloud storage. Older backups that included them will restore without them. If your account is signed in on another device, those photos stay on that device but are no longer backed up.
• Journal text is not counted against the photo limit.

7. When a subscription ends

Nothing is deleted when a subscription ends.

• Your limits return to the free limits, and automatic backup stops.
• Photos already in the cloud stay there and can still be restored, even if they add up to more than the free limit. New photos aren't backed up until you're under the limit again or subscribe.
• If your stored photos remain above the free limit for 12 months after your subscription ends, we may remove photos above the free limit. We will give you at least 30 days' notice first, by email to your account's address, so you have time to restore them to your device, free up space, or subscribe again.

8. Inactive accounts

If you don't sign in to the app or make a backup for 24 months, we may delete the cloud data stored for your account — backups, photos and encryption keys. We will give you at least 30 days' notice first, by email to your account's address. Signing in or backing up during the notice period keeps your data.

This never affects the journal stored on your device.

9. Encryption and backup passwords

Backups and photos are encrypted on your device before they are uploaded.

You can add an optional backup password. With it set, only someone with the password can read your backups — including us: we cannot recover or reset it for you. If you forget it, the only way forward is "Reset Encryption", which permanently makes every backup protected by the old password unreadable. Entries still on your device are not affected and can be backed up again.

You're responsible for remembering your backup password.

10. Deleting your account

You can delete your account in the app's settings. This permanently deletes the backups, photos and encryption keys stored in the cloud for that account, and then the account itself. It can't be undone. It does not delete the journal on your device.

11. Keep your own copies

We work hard to keep your backups safe, but the service is provided "as is" and we can't guarantee it will always be available, uninterrupted or free of errors. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss of journal entries, photos or backups — including photos that weren't backed up because storage was full, photos removed with "Free up space", and backups made unreadable by a forgotten backup password.

Keep important entries and photos on your device, and export your journal from the app from time to time.

12. Things we're not responsible for

• Connectivity. Backups need an internet connection. If you're not on Wi-Fi, your mobile provider's charges apply, including roaming.
• Your device. Keep it charged, updated and secure. We recommend not rooting or jailbreaking it, which can compromise security and stop the app working properly.
• Third parties we rely on, which have their own terms: Google Play Services, Google Play Billing, Google Sign-In, and Amazon Web Services, where encrypted backups are stored.

13. Updates, and ending the service

We may update the app, and you may need to install updates to keep using it or the service. We don't promise the app will support every Android version.

We may stop offering the app or the service. If we shut down the cloud backup service, we will give at least 90 days' notice so you can restore everything to your device. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or misuse the service.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. For material changes we will give at least 30 days' notice in the app or by email before they take effect. The date below shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the app after changes take effect means you accept them.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, United States, and disputes will be handled by the courts of the State of Maryland, United States, except where the law where you live says otherwise.
