7. User Content and Data
You retain ownership of all genograms and data you create using the Service. By using cloud storage features, you grant us a limited license to store and transmit your data solely for the purpose of providing the Service.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that any data you input complies with applicable privacy laws and regulations, including obtaining necessary consents when inputting information about third parties.
8. User Responsibility for Client Data
When mental health professionals use WebGeno to process data relating to their clients, the following applies under data protection law:
- You are the data controller for your clients' personal and health data. WebGeno acts as your data processor.
- You must have a valid legal basis (typically informed consent) for entering any client information into the Service.
- You are responsible for informing clients that their data may be stored in cloud infrastructure and for obtaining appropriate consent where required by law.
- You must comply with your professional ethics codes, licensing body regulations, and applicable health data laws (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR) when using this Service.
- You must ensure that client data is not entered into AI features without proper anonymization. See Section 11 for details.
If required by your jurisdiction or institutional policy, you may request a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) from us at support@psychologysmarttools.com. See our Privacy Policy for further details.
9. Professional Use Disclaimer
WebGeno is a tool to assist professionals in creating genograms. It is not a substitute for professional judgment, clinical assessment, or therapeutic intervention. Users are responsible for the appropriate use of genograms in their professional practice.

11. AI Features and Data Anonymization
WebGeno provides automatic name detection and anonymization when using AI-powered features. Personal names are replaced with placeholders before being sent to external AI providers, and original names are restored locally after processing.
User Responsibility: While we implement privacy-by-design principles aligned with EU regulations including GDPR and the EU AI Act, the effectiveness of our anonymization depends on your active participation:
- Uncommon, misspelled, or non-standard names may not be automatically detected
- You must verify that all sensitive names are highlighted before submitting
- You must use the bracket notation [Name] to manually tag any undetected names
- You are solely responsible for ensuring client data is properly anonymized
WebGeno cannot guarantee complete anonymization of all personal identifiable information. By using AI features, you acknowledge this shared responsibility and agree to take reasonable steps to verify anonymization before processing.
12. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, features, and content (excluding user-generated content), is owned by WebGeno and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without our express permission.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WEBGENO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
Our total liability for any claims arising from your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
15. Uptime and Availability
WebGeno does not guarantee any specific level of uptime or availability. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Service and minimise planned and unplanned downtime. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance where practicable.
The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical failures, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any loss or inconvenience caused by service interruptions. Critical genogram data should be exported and backed up regularly.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless WebGeno and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.
17. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these terms or for any other reason at our discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. You may export your data before termination.
You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or using the account deletion feature in the application settings.
18. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify users of significant changes via email or through the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
19. Dispute Resolution
In the event of a dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service, the parties agree to the following process:
- Informal resolution (30 days): Contact us at support@psychologysmarttools.com describing your dispute. We will attempt to resolve it informally within 30 calendar days.
- Mediation: If informal resolution fails, the parties agree to attempt resolution through a mutually agreed mediator before pursuing litigation.
- Courts: If mediation is unsuccessful, disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Lisbon, Portugal.
Nothing in this section prevents you from filing a complaint with a consumer protection authority or data protection supervisory authority in your country.
20. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Portugal, without regard to conflict of law principles. EU users retain all rights granted under mandatory EU consumer protection legislation, which shall prevail over these Terms to the extent of any inconsistency. Users outside the EU are subject to Portuguese law to the fullest extent permitted in their jurisdiction.
21. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
