Changes to these documents

Last updated:

Legal documents that change silently are not worth reading. Every change to anything in the legal centre is recorded here with its date and what actually moved.

1. How changes work

Material changes are announced first
A change that affects your rights, your money or what you are agreeing to is announced in the app or by another reasonable means before it takes effect, with an effective date. Continuing to use Sebairo after that date means accepting it.
Everything else is still logged
A clarification, a correction, a broken link, a section renumbered — none of that needs an announcement, but all of it appears below. The threshold for the log is “something changed”, not “something important changed”.
Corrections are changes too
If a document claimed something the platform does not do, correcting it is logged as a correction and says what was wrong. Fixing an overstatement quietly would defeat the purpose of publishing the document.
The date on a document is authoritative
Each document carries the date it last changed. Where two copies of a document exist anywhere, the one with the later date is the current version.

2. The log

10 August 2026 — the legal centre published
Seven new documents published: Acceptable Use Policy, Commerce Terms, Sub-processors, Law Enforcement Guidelines, Copyright and Counter-Notice, Transparency Report, and this changes page. A legal centre index was added listing every document with a plain-English summary of what it governs.
10 August 2026 — Terms of Service expanded
Rewritten at greater depth without changing the commercial substance. The minimum age of 13, the content licence, the liability cap of the greater of twelve months' payments and £100, and England and Wales as governing law are all unchanged. New sections: what Sebairo is not (bank, seller, employer, adviser, end-to-end encrypted); the SBX Wallet in detail including the manual withdrawal process; workspaces and responsibility for other people's data; a stated known gap on public-storage files surviving account deletion.
10 August 2026 — Privacy Policy expanded
New sections: what Sebairo deliberately does not collect (address book, card numbers, location by default); who can see what, and that it is settled by Sebairo's servers rather than by the screen; encryption stated plainly, including that Sebairo is not end-to-end encrypted; where data is hosted; and a stated known gap in deletion of public-storage files. Retention and sub-processor sections expanded, with the full sub-processor list moved to its own page.
10 August 2026 — Cookie Policy expanded
Named every cookie individually rather than describing categories, stated why no cookie banner is shown, added what third parties set on their own pages, and added a section explaining that the mobile app uses no cookies at all.
8 August 2026 — first publication
Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy published for the first time.

3. Earlier and duplicate copies

Sebairo's legal documents live at one canonical address each, under this legal centre. Links from inside the app and from sebairo.com point here.

If you ever find the same document served at two addresses with different text — from a cached page, an old link, or a copy that was not updated — the version with the later date is the current one, and the copy here is authoritative. Report the stale copy to support@sebairo.com and it gets removed or redirected.

4. How to be told when something changes

  • Material changes are announced in the app before they take effect.
  • Every document shows the date it last changed, under its title.
  • This page lists what moved, so you can tell whether a change affects you without re-reading the whole document.

There is no mailing list for legal updates today. If that changes, it will be announced here — and noted in this log, like everything else.

ملخص بالعربية

الوثائق القانونية التي تتغير بصمت لا تستحق القراءة، ولذلك يُسجَّل هنا كل تغيير بتاريخه وبما تغيّر فعلًا. التغيير الجوهري — ما يمس حقوقك أو أموالك أو ما توافق عليه — يُعلَن في التطبيق أو بوسيلة معقولة قبل سريانه مع تاريخ نفاذ، والاستمرار بعد ذلك التاريخ يعني القبول؛ أما ما دون ذلك من توضيحات وتصحيحات فيُسجَّل هنا دون إعلان. والتصحيحات تُسجَّل بوصفها تصحيحات وتذكر ما كان خاطئًا، لأن تصحيح مبالغة بصمت يُفشل الغرض من نشر الوثيقة أصلًا. وتاريخ كل وثيقة هو المرجع: إن وُجدت نسختان فالأحدث تاريخًا هي السارية. وفي 10 أغسطس 2026 نُشر المركز القانوني بسبع وثائق جديدة (الاستخدام المقبول، وشروط التجارة، والمعالِجون الفرعيون، وإرشادات إنفاذ القانون، وحقوق النشر والإشعار المضاد، وتقرير الشفافية، وصفحة التغييرات هذه)، ووُسِّعت شروط الخدمة وسياسة الخصوصية وسياسة الكوكيز دون تغيير الجوهر التجاري: الحد الأدنى للعمر 13 عامًا، وترخيص المحتوى، وحدّ المسؤولية، وقانون إنجلترا وويلز كلها كما كانت. وفي 8 أغسطس 2026 نُشرت شروط الخدمة وسياسة الخصوصية وسياسة الكوكيز لأول مرة. ولا توجد اليوم قائمة بريدية للتحديثات القانونية، وإن أُنشئت فسيُعلَن ذلك ويُسجَّل هنا كغيره. هذا الملخص للتوضيح فقط، والنص الإنجليزي هو المعتمد.

Sub-processorsv6Added Zoho Mail (the support mailbox: name, email address and message text, and replies back) and Google ML Kit (three on-device detectors bundled in the Android app - barcode scanning, face contours and selfie segmentation - which process every frame on the phone, store nothing, and report only usage metrics to Google, never an image). Summary and Arabic summary updated to match (F784). Published by Claude on the founder's instruction.
Privacy Policyv8Two service providers named: Zoho Mail, which hosts the support mailbox (your name, email address and message text reach support@sebairo.com there, and replies go back through it), and Google ML Kit, the on-device detectors bundled in the app for barcode scanning and the LIVE face and background effects, which report only usage metrics to Google and never an image. Section 3 now states plainly that face detection and background segmentation run on the device and that no face data is stored or sent. Arabic summary updated to match (F784). Published by Claude on the founder's instruction.
Privacy Policyv7Section 12 (Children): Sebairo is for adults; you must be at least 18 to create an account, and an account found to belong to someone under 18 is deleted (was 13, founder ruling 2026-09-26, F385). The Arabic summary says 18. Published by Claude on the founder's instruction.
Child Safety Standardsv2The minimum age to use Sebairo is 18 (was 13, founder ruling 2026-09-26, F385), in English and Arabic. Published by Claude on the founder's instruction.
Acceptable Use Policyv6The minimum age for an account is 18 (was 13, founder ruling 2026-09-26, F385). Published by Claude on the founder's instruction.
Terms of Servicev7The minimum age is now 18, everywhere (founder ruling 2026-09-26, F385). Section "You must be at least 18" replaces "You must be at least 13": Sebairo is for adults, and a higher local legal age still applies where one exists. The Arabic summary says 18. Published by Claude on the founder's instruction.
Terms of Servicev6One paragraph in section 5: Sebairo records diagnostics about faults and about what the app was asked to do, it is part of providing the service and not optional, it never carries what you wrote or searched for, and the detail is in the Privacy Policy. A pointer, not a copy.
Privacy Policyv6Diagnostics and crash reporting disclosed (F324). Section 2 gains a Diagnostics definition; section 3 gains what you typed into a search box, and that no analytics or crash-reporting company exists in the app at all; section 4 names the diagnostics under legitimate interests with the mitigations the balance rests on; section 9 gains the fourteen-day retention. No new recipient, no new identifier, no change to sharing.
Privacy Policyv5Section 9: deleting your account now also erases the personal-finance books you kept in the app — your own ledger, its entries and invoices. The retention note no longer lists those books as a known gap; the one remaining gap, public-storage files not purged in the same instant, still stands and is stated.
Child Safety Standardsv1F242: publish the Child Safety Standards page (Play CSAE self-certification) — prohibits CSAE, names the in-app report path, the removal/NCMEC process, and the designated point of contact.
Acceptable Use Policyv5Section 5 no longer says Sebairo carries money between strangers: a Marketplace payment happens outside Sebairo, and the note that Sebairo never asks for a card number now says credits are bought inside Google Play and a card is only ever entered on Stripe's own page, when a card rail is active and you choose to save one. Section 10 no longer mentions withdrawal holds, because there are no withdrawals (ADR-0036).
Copyright and Counter-Noticev2Section 7 now cites the Privacy Policy's rights section by its real number, 11.
Law Enforcement Guidelinesv3Section 2: transaction records are the credits balance and its history, Google Play purchase references, plan payments and ad spend — no top-ups, transfers or withdrawals exist (ADR-0036). Section 3: the card-numbers line names Google Play, and the location line now names every surface where a user can give a location instead of implying map presence is the only one.
Commerce Termsv6Section 1 no longer says Sebairo's own charges run through Stripe: credits are bought through Google Play, and plans and advertising are paid from them. It now states outright that no payment for a Marketplace sale runs through Sebairo and that the buyer and the seller settle between themselves; the warning that anyone claiming Sebairo holds your money is running a scam stays. The link to the Terms now points at the wallet section that exists, and section 8 cites the Terms' liability section by its real number, 12.
Terms of Servicev5The wallet holds one balance, and credits are bought through Google Play. Section 6 no longer describes a cash balance, withdrawals from 10 SBX upwards, a manual transfer or withdrawal holds — none of those exist: credits cannot be withdrawn, sent to another person or exchanged for cash, and Sebairo never moves money between people (ADR-0036). Credits are bought through Google Play at the price it shows in your country (1 SBX = 100 credits), reach your balance once Google Play confirms the purchase, and are refunded by Google Play under its own policy; Sebairo never sees your card. Section 7: a plan is paid from your credits and renews from them until you cancel, a balance that cannot cover a renewal ends the plan at the end of the paid period, switching returns the unused part, and tax is shown by Google Play rather than Stripe. Section 9: advertising is paid in advance from credits. Section 10 now states what the Acceptable Use Policy prohibits, that objectionable content and abusive users are not tolerated, and that anyone can report content and block a person. Section 3 says what deletion removes and points to the Privacy Policy for what is kept.
Privacy Policyv4Money: the wallet holds one balance of credits, so the policy no longer mentions withdrawable cash. Credit purchases are paid through Google Play (Google LLC), added as a recipient — Google receives what Play Billing needs, Sebairo the purchase token and the product; Stripe now holds a saved card only, when a card rail is active, and takes no payment. Location: a new item in section 2 names every place location is collected — a city and country on your profile, private coordinates from sign-up completion or location settings, map presence in Memories, a place you share in a chat, a note or a memory, the places on memories, and an attendance punch where a workspace requires it, which that workspace's managers can see — and states that each is optional except that punch. Section 3 no longer implies map presence is the only use of location. Recipients: the OpenStreetMap Foundation (map tiles) and the phone's speech service (dictation) are added. Section 9 now says exactly what account deletion removes — the account, profile, content, saved cards and the Stripe customer record, your support conversations and the reports you filed — and what is kept: activity and moderation logs with the link to you removed, a few audit lines with an opaque identifier, and reports made against you. Personal-finance books are not yet removed on deletion, and the policy says so. Section 1 now points data-rights requests at section 11, where the rights actually are.
Cookie Policyv2The third-party entry no longer describes a Stripe checkout page where you pay. Nothing is paid on Stripe's page: when a card rail is active it only stores a card. Credits are bought through Google Play, which is an app rather than a website and sets no cookie here. The covered surfaces now say 'billing return pages' rather than 'checkout return pages'.
Sub-processorsv5Added Google Play (Google LLC), the only place a credit purchase is paid; the OpenStreetMap Foundation, which serves the Memories map tiles directly to your device and receives its IP address, user agent and the viewed area, and no account data; and the phone's speech service for dictation, which runs on the device on iOS and on Android 12 and later with an on-device model, and otherwise receives the audio. Stripe now holds saved cards only, while a card rail is active, and takes no payment from the app. Section 4 now cites the Privacy Policy's international-transfers section by its real number, 8.
Sub-processorsv4The Stripe entry no longer says Marketplace payments are collected into Sebairo's account. They are not collected at all: a Marketplace sale is arranged between two people and never passes through Stripe or Sebairo. Stripe handles Sebairo's own charges only - plans, SBX credit and advertising.
Acceptable Use Policyv4The Marketplace takes no payment. This document no longer implies that Sebairo runs a checkout or holds a buyer's money for a sale; see the rewritten Commerce Terms.
Terms of Servicev4The Marketplace takes no payment. This document no longer implies that Sebairo runs a checkout or holds a buyer's money for a sale; see the rewritten Commerce Terms.
Commerce Termsv5The Marketplace takes no payment, and this document now says so. Sebairo introduces a buyer to a seller and handles no money for the sale: there is no checkout, no basket, no order, no Sebairo-held funds, no Sebairo refund and no commission. Removed accordingly: the five-state order ladder, the disclosure that payment was collected into Sebairo's own Stripe account pending Stripe Connect, and refunds returned through Stripe. Added: how to pay another person safely, and that anyone claiming Sebairo holds your money is running a scam. Sebairo's own charges - plans, SBX credit and advertising - are unaffected and remain governed by the Terms.
Transparency Reportv2Editorial. Removed remarks about the company rather than the service - its size, and the internal steps a report takes to produce. What the page commits to is unchanged: no report has been published yet, an absent figure is not a claim of zero, reports cover six-month periods, and earlier periods stay readable.
Commerce Termsv4The Marketplace stopped taking payment on 8 September 2026, and version 3 still governed a marketplace that did. Rewritten for the model that actually exists: the contract is between buyer and seller (unchanged), but no money passes through Sebairo, there are no order states, and there is no refund Sebairo can issue. Section 4 is INVERTED — v3 told buyers that any seller asking to be paid off-platform was "breaking these terms or running a scam", which under the current model describes every legitimate seller; it now says to meet in person and pay on collection. Sections 1, 2, 8, 9 and 10 are substantially unchanged because they were already true. Version 3 remains in the record.
Changes to these documentsv2Editorial. Removed descriptions of how the platform is built - database mechanics, payment-webhook and server-function detail - which no disclosure duty requires. Nothing changed about what is collected, shared or retained, about your rights, or about who holds Marketplace money.
Privacy Policyv3Editorial. Removed descriptions of how the platform is built - database mechanics, payment-webhook and server-function detail - which no disclosure duty requires. Nothing changed about what is collected, shared or retained, about your rights, or about who holds Marketplace money.
Acceptable Use Policyv3Editorial. Removed descriptions of how the platform is built - database mechanics, payment-webhook and server-function detail - which no disclosure duty requires.
