What Embr is
Embr is a self-help app designed to support people who are reducing or eliminating their alcohol use. It is not a medical device. It is not a substitute for medical care, therapy, or addiction treatment. If you are experiencing severe physical withdrawal symptoms (shaking, sweating, hallucinations, seizures), stop reading this and call a doctor or an emergency line.
Not medical advice
Content within Embr — including written articles, breathing exercises, check-in prompts, and progress information — is for educational and self-reflection purposes only. Nothing in the app is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding decisions about your health.
Your account
You don't create an account to use Embr. There is no username, password, or login. Your data is identified only by your device.
Subscription
Embr is a paid app with a free trial. After the trial period ends, your subscription begins and you will be charged through your Apple ID at the rates shown in the app at the time of purchase.
- Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually depending on which plan you select.
- Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
- You can cancel anytime in iPhone Settings → [Your Apple ID] → Subscriptions.
- Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period — you will not be refunded for unused time.
- We do not offer refunds for partially used billing periods. Refund requests for billing errors should be made directly to Apple through your purchase history.
Price changes
If we change the price of Embr, your existing subscription will continue at the price you currently pay until your subscription is cancelled or expires. Any price changes affect only new subscriptions.
Prohibited use
You may not:
- Use Embr to provide medical, therapeutic, or counseling services to other people
- Reverse-engineer or attempt to extract proprietary content from the app
- Use Embr if you are under 18 years old
Content you create
Anything you enter into Embr (your why, your check-ins, your notes) belongs to you. We never see it, never claim ownership, never use it for any purpose. See our privacy policy.
Disclaimers
Embr is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will achieve any particular outcome for you. Your reduction or elimination of alcohol use is your own work — the app is one tool among many you might use.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above and notify users through an in-app message for material changes.
Termination
You can stop using Embr at any time by cancelling your subscription and deleting the app. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Leeuwarden.
