User Content and Data Ownership

All content you create through the Site — including checklist tasks, journal entries, and any other text you input — belongs exclusively to you. We make no claim of ownership, license, or right of access to any content you generate using the Site's tools.

The failure to maintain adequate backups does not constitute a claim against us under any circumstances.
