Safer use

Do not use Z-Girl as emergency support

Youth and institutional use

The public version is a no-account reflection tool. Schools and youth organizations should not treat it as a student record, counseling record, or monitoring system. An institutional release requires a separate implementation agreement, privacy review, consent process where applicable, and de-identified outcome design.

Control and contact

You can clear reflection drafts, journey entries, and AI chat history from the relevant screen. Clearing browser data may also remove local entries and installed offline copies. Downloaded journey transcripts and entries remain under your control on your device. For questions, use the contact page.

This guide describes the v2.2 public experience and should be reviewed whenever hosting, analytics, or AI providers change.
