service




Last updated: 11/3/2025


1) Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Secretly, provided by N3G UG (haftungsbeschränkt) (“N3G”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading, accessing, or using the Secretly mobile application, website (https://secretly.school), or related services (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.

2) Eligibility

You must be at least the minimum age of digital consent in your country (e.g., 16 in much of the EU) or have verifiable consent from your parent/guardian or school to use Secretly. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

3) Our Services

Secretly allows users to create private groups (e.g., within schools or classes). The app posts predefined daily questions to the group. Members can answer anonymously. Group members may also share individual answers to third-party apps (e.g., Instagram, Snapchat), but the author’s identity is never disclosed.

4) Accounts and Registration

  • You may be required to sign up using your phone number (verified via SMS code) and provide basic information (e.g., school, class, display name, gender, profile photo).
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activity under your account.
  • You agree to provide accurate information and update it as necessary.

5) Anonymity & Content

Secretly is designed to keep answers anonymous within groups. While we do not display authorship of answers, we may retain metadata necessary to operate the Services securely and investigate abuse.

By submitting content to Secretly, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, and display that content solely for operating and improving the Services. This license ends when you delete your account or when we remove the content, except as required for legal or security purposes.

6) User Responsibilities

You agree not to:

  • Post unlawful, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or otherwise harmful content.
  • Attempt to de-anonymize other users, or misuse anonymous content to harm others.
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation.
  • Interfere with the operation of the Services (e.g., spam, bots, exploits).
  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations.

7) Notifications

With your consent, we may send you push notifications (e.g., new questions, group activity). You can opt out in your device settings at any time.

8) Third-Party Services

When you share content from Secretly to third-party apps, those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their actions.

9) Intellectual Property

The Services, including software, design, branding, and content (excluding user-generated content), are owned by or licensed to N3G and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without our prior written consent.

10) Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if you violate these Terms, engage in abusive behavior, or if required by law. You may delete your account at any time within the app or by contacting support@secretly.school.

11) Disclaimers

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Services will be secure, error-free, or available at all times. We are not responsible for user-generated content.

12) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, N3G shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Services.

13) Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless N3G, its affiliates, officers, employees, and partners from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from your use of the Services or violation of these Terms.

14) Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Germany.

15) Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you (e.g., in-app or on our website). Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
