Held Terms of Use

Effective date: 5 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Appodeal, Inc., 1640 Boro Place, 4th Floor, McLean, Virginia 22102, United States ("we", "us"), the maker of Held. By signing in to Held you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.

What Held is

Held helps you build one habit at a time: you pick a habit, a time and a place, and check in on each scheduled day for 28 days. You can also be matched with a partner who sees your progress and meets you on a weekly video call. Held is free.

Who can use it

You must be at least [16] years old. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian agrees to you using Held. When we match you with a stranger, people under 18 are only ever matched with other people under 18. A partner you invite yourself is your choice: we do not ask either of you for an age.

Your account

You sign in with your Google account. Keep that account secure; you are responsible for what happens under your Held account. You can delete your account at any time in the Settings tab with Delete Account.

Partners and calls

When you are matched with a partner, they see your first name, your habit's title and your progress, as described in our Privacy Policy. Treat your partner with respect. Do not harass, threaten, deceive or abuse anyone, share sexual or violent content, record a call without your partner's consent, or use Held to sell or promote anything. You can end a match, block or report a partner from the app at any time. We may end matches, remove you from partner matching, or close your account if you break these rules.

We do not screen users and are not responsible for what partners say or do. Be careful about sharing personal details beyond what the app shows.

Your content

The habits, check-ins and notes you enter stay yours. You give us permission to store and process them only to run Held, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Not advice

Held is a habit tool, not medical, psychological or professional advice. Talk to a qualified professional before starting a habit that could affect your health.

Changes and availability

We may change, pause or stop Held, or these terms. If a change to these terms matters to you, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. Held is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of Held.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, except where the law of the country you live in gives you rights that cannot be waived.
