Recall Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Elevated Systems LLC (“we”, “us”) about your use of the Recall for Siri app for iPhone (“Recall”). By downloading or using Recall, you agree to these Terms and to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”, see section 16). If you don’t agree, please don’t use Recall.

Our Privacy Policy explains how Recall handles your information. In short: everything stays on your iPhone.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Recall on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and by the Standard EULA.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease Recall, or reverse engineer it or try to extract its source code, except where the law allows this despite this restriction. We and our licensors own Recall and all rights in it that aren’t expressly granted to you.

Recall is a subscription. You can choose a yearly plan, which starts with a 7-day free trial, or a monthly plan, which starts with a 3-day free trial. In the United States the plans are US$59.99 a year and US$8.99 a month; the App Store shows the price in your currency, and the length of any trial, before you confirm.

• Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, if you start with a free trial, when the trial ends.
• Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
• Canceling. Manage or cancel at any time in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions on your iPhone. Canceling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the current period.
• Free trials. Each Apple Account can have one free trial of Recall. If you subscribe to a paid plan during a trial, the trial ends.
• Billing and refunds are handled by Apple under its own terms. We don’t see or store your payment details and can’t issue refunds ourselves; you can ask Apple for one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Everything you create or capture with Recall (your notes, recordings, transcripts, reminders and anything else, “Your Content”) belongs to you. We claim no ownership of it and no license to it.

Because Recall stores Your Content on your device and we never receive it, we can’t see, recover or restore it. You’re responsible for keeping backups of anything you can’t afford to lose.

You agree to use Recall only in ways that are lawful and that respect other people’s rights. In particular, you won’t use Recall to:

• record, transcribe or keep anything in violation of privacy, eavesdropping, wiretapping, data protection or other laws;
• infringe anyone’s intellectual property or other rights;
• harass, stalk, intimidate or harm anyone; or
• interfere with or get around Recall’s security features.

You are responsible for getting consent before recording conversations where the law requires it, including calls you record in other apps, such as Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.

Recording laws differ from place to place. Some let you record a conversation you’re part of; others require the consent of everyone involved; some restrict recording in particular settings, such as workplaces or classrooms. On a call, the other people may be somewhere with different rules from yours. Recall gives you the tools to record and transcribe, but whether a recording is lawful depends on where you and they are, who you’re recording and how.

If in doubt, tell everyone that you’re recording and ask for their permission first. We don’t monitor what you record, and we can’t give you legal advice.

Recall uses on-device models to transcribe audio, read text in images, and write summaries, action items, answers and other content. Automatically generated content can be incomplete, inaccurate or out of date: a transcript can mishear a word, and a summary can miss or misstate a point. Answers come only from your notes, so they’re only as good as your notes.

Check anything important against the original source, and don’t rely on Recall for medical, legal, financial, safety or other decisions where a mistake could cause harm.

Recall’s spending features record and summarize the purchases your own Shortcuts automation passes to it. Totals can be incomplete or wrong, for example if an automation doesn’t run or a purchase wasn’t made with Apple Pay. Recall is not a bank, an accounting tool or a financial adviser, and nothing in Recall is financial, tax or investment advice.

Reminders depend on your device’s settings (notification permissions, Focus, Low Power Mode and more) and may not always arrive on time. Don’t rely on Recall for critical alerts, such as medication times or safety warnings.

Recall works with services provided by Apple, including Siri, Apple Intelligence, iCloud Drive, Shortcuts and Apple Pay, and with content from other apps that you choose to share into it or record. Those services and apps are provided by their owners under their own terms and privacy policies, and we’re not responsible for them. Features that depend on them, for example Siri answers, which need Apple Intelligence, may not be available on every device, in every region or in every language.

We may update Recall, adding, changing or removing features, and we may stop offering it. We’ll try to give reasonable notice of significant changes. Because your notes are plain files in a folder you own, you keep them whatever happens to the app.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Recall is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We don’t promise that Recall will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will never lose data. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain warranties to be excluded, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Elevated Systems LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue or goodwill, arising out of or relating to Recall or these Terms, even if we’ve been told such damages are possible. Our total liability for all claims relating to Recall is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for Recall (if any) and US$50.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Elevated Systems LLC against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of Recall or your breach of these Terms, including recordings you make without consent that the law requires.

You can stop using Recall at any time by deleting it. These Terms, including your license, end automatically if you breach them. The sections on your content, AI-generated content, spending, warranties, liability, indemnity, the App Store and governing law continue to apply after these Terms end.

Recall is distributed through Apple’s App Store, and Apple’s Standard EULA applies together with these Terms. If these Terms conflict with the Standard EULA, the Standard EULA controls to the extent of the conflict. You and we also acknowledge that:

• These Terms are between you and Elevated Systems LLC only, not Apple Inc. (“Apple”). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for Recall and its content.
• Your license is limited to using Recall on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that Recall may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for Recall.
• If Recall fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) you paid for Recall. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to Recall. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, to the extent they aren’t disclaimed by these Terms.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to Recall or your possession and use of it, including (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that Recall fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
• If a third party claims that Recall, or your possession and use of it, infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using Recall.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in South Carolina, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere. If you’re a consumer, nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have under the mandatory laws of the country where you live.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We’ll post the new version here with a new effective date and, if the changes are significant, let you know in the app or its release notes. If you keep using Recall after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.

If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we don’t enforce a right, we haven’t waived it. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent. These Terms, together with the Standard EULA and our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about Recall.
