terms of service
by creating an account or using dy.ing, you agree to these terms. if you do not agree, do not use the service.
last updated: 2026-06-16 · alpha quality · see also the privacy policy.
the service
dy.ing provides zero-knowledge, end-to-end-encrypted notes, file transfer, account storage, and email (masks + mailboxes). it’s offered “as is” and it’s still alpha-quality software: things may change, break, or disappear, and you can hit downtime or lose data. don’t make it the only copy of anything you can’t afford to lose.
your account & keys
- all you need is a username, no email or phone. keeping your credentials and 24-word recovery code safe is on you.
- since the service is zero-knowledge, we can’t recover your account or data if you lose that recovery code. when it’s gone it’s gone, and that’s on you too.
- you must be of the age of majority in your jurisdiction to use dy.ing.
acceptable use
your use must follow our acceptable use policy. in short, you agree not to use dy.ing to:
- break the law of any jurisdiction that applies to you, or facilitate serious harm to others
- attack, overload, probe, or reverse the service’s access controls, or disrupt other users
- store or transmit content you have no right to, or that is unlawful where you are
child sexual abuse material is met with zero tolerance: we disable it, preserve what the law requires, and report to the appropriate authorities. the acceptable use policy has the full list and our enforcement + reporting process.
we can’t read your content, so there’s no way for us to pre-screen what you store. we may still suspend or remove accounts over abuse signals, security risk, non-payment, or valid legal process, working only from the limited metadata we hold.
no warranty & limitation of liability
to the fullest extent permitted by law, dy.ing is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation. to the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data — including data made unrecoverable by lost keys or recovery codes. to the extent any liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to what you paid us (if anything) in the three months before the claim arose.
termination
you may stop using dy.ing and delete your account at any time. we may suspend or terminate access as described under acceptable use, or if we discontinue the service. on termination, your ciphertext is removed from active storage subject to the retention described in the privacy policy.
intellectual property
the service, its software, and its branding are ours. these terms give you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the service as intended, nothing more. your content stays yours — we claim no ownership of it.
indemnity
you agree to cover us for claims, damages, and costs that arise from your content, your use of the service, or your breach of these terms, the acceptable use policy, or any law.
changes, governing law & the rest
we may update these terms; material changes will be noted by the “last updated” date above, and continued use means you accept them. these terms, together with the acceptable use policy and privacy policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the service. if any part is unenforceable, the rest still applies, and our not enforcing a term isn’t a waiver of it. we run dy.ing pseudonymously and haven’t tied it to a single jurisdiction yet; until we do, these terms and any dispute are handled to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the disclaimers and liability limits above apply in full. for questions, use the contact in our security.txt.
