Usage notice

ResonTales is operated by the ResonTales team. The app is currently available for download on the App Store and Google Play in Taiwan. Any future expansion to additional regions will be announced separately. Users must be at least 13. Where local law requires parental or legal guardian consent, that consent must be obtained first. The parental consent process is still being developed; do not use the service before obtaining required consent. Children under 13 may not use the service. Contact privacy@resontales.com with related questions.

ResonTales is a place to record feelings and read similar experiences. It does not provide psychological diagnosis, treatment, or emergency response. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

Stories are private by default. Public stories and nicknames may appear in recommendations to other users. Avoid personal details identifying yourself or others.

AI similarity is an estimate, not a psychological assessment or a guarantee of shared circumstances. Other people’s stories reflect their own experiences. You can stop reading content that makes you uncomfortable.

Managing stories you do not want to see Below a similar story, you can choose Hide story, Block user, or Report. Hide story stops recommending that story and hides it only for your account. It does not delete the author's story or exclude their other stories. Block user stops recommending that author's existing and future stories to you. You can unblock them in Personal settings → Blocked users. Blocking is your recommendation preference, not a finding of misconduct. It does not restrict their use of the service or guarantee that they cannot see your public stories. Report opens a reason selection dialog. Choose a reason and add details as needed. A successful report also hides that story for you. Reporting other stories or blocking the author requires a separate action.

Hidden or reported stories, and stories by blocked authors, no longer generate new match notifications or pushes for you. Pushes already sent cannot be recalled, and existing notifications are not automatically removed from your list. Hidden-story and blocking restrictions still apply when opening them.

Daily public-save allowance: each account may save public stories up to 3 times per day (7 times while subscribed), with new stories and updates sharing one allowance. Every successful save that leaves a story public counts, including changing a private story to public. Creating or updating private stories, and changing public stories to private, are unlimited and do not consume this allowance. The allowance resets daily at 00:00 UTC. Personal settings display the next reset time in your device’s time zone; changing the device clock or time zone does not reset the allowance early. Deleting a story or making it private does not restore used allowance. Recommendation preference changes do not count. Only successfully saved public operations count; a saved public story still counts if subsequent processing fails. When the allowance is exhausted, you can still save privately; wait until the reset to save publicly again. Operations before the switch to this rule are not counted retroactively toward the shared allowance.

Basic safety protection for public stories New stories saved as public, and stories saved again as public, are stored and undergo basic safety checks. Only approved versions proceed to the analysis and recommendation stage. Flagged versions wait for human review and stop further analysis. You can still view, edit or delete your own story. Pending or rejected versions are not shown or recommended to others; approved versions must finish processing before recommendations become available. Human approval resumes analysis directly without repeating the safety check for that version. Saving an edit creates a new version, pauses exposure and requires a new check. If the new version passes safety checks, processing resumes without another human approval. Private stories are stored without AI processing; review starts when you make them public. Existing stories are not automatically reviewed retroactively by this update; saving them as public again applies the new process. Review considers the whole text and context. Merely mentioning sex, violence, victimization or recovery is not automatically a violation. Safety checks can make mistakes; contact support@resontales.com with questions. If the safety check fails technically, the story remains under checking and hidden while the system retries. A successfully saved public story still uses the public-save allowance even if it awaits review or is rejected. When safety checks flag content for human review, story details show a brief reason. If human review rejects the story, its reason is also shown to help you understand and revise the content. After editing, an old version’s reason is not presented as the new version’s result.

Scam review also covers suspected attempts to obtain money, credentials, verification codes or personal data through deception, such as impersonation, phishing links, guaranteed-return investment schemes and romance or job scams. Flagged content receives a reason and human review; further analysis and recommendations wait for approval. Sharing a victim’s experience, anti-fraud warnings or quoted scam messages used as warnings is not a violation merely for mentioning scams. A link, brand or financial topic alone is not evidence of fraud. AI assesses the text; it does not verify links, identities or investment claims.

Advertising-post review Any public story suspected of being an unauthorized commercial advertisement, solicitation, referral code, shopping link or repeated promotion is always sent for human review and is not published or recommended until approved. Referral for human review means that further assessment is needed; it is not a finding that the story violates the rules. A reasonable mention of a brand or product in an ordinary personal experience is not a violation by itself.

Political and religious topic preferences The system may label public stories as involving political or religious topics. These labels describe story content; they do not state the author’s political views, religion or identity, and they do not indicate a violation. In Settings, you can separately choose whether to receive political topics and religious topics; both are accepted by default. If you turn either preference off, affected stories are excluded from similar-story recommendations, match push notifications, the notification list and unread counts. A story with both labels appears only when both preferences are enabled. These settings affect only your content experience and do not penalize the author or remove the story.
