Character Discovery and Third-Party Data Notice
Last updated: September 20, 2026
Summary
Effective date: September 20, 2026
This Notice is drafted in English. A French version of this Notice is available as set out in Section 21.7. This Notice forms part of the Terms of Use and is to be read together with the Privacy Policy. In the event of a conflict, the Terms of Use prevail over this Notice, and this Notice prevails over any summary, help article, or interface text describing the same subject matter.
Section 1 — Purpose and scope
1.1 This Notice governs the character discovery area of the Application, comprising the bundled catalogue, the remote catalogue, the optional online search, and any optional alternate route configured by the User (together, the "Discovery Features").
1.2 The User is required to review and accept this Notice before the Discovery Features are made available. Acceptance is recorded on the device. The Discovery Features may be declined, in which case they remain inactive and the remainder of the Application continues to function.
1.3 The relic catalogue of the Application is governed by the Relic Catalogue and Third-Party Content Notice, which forms part of the Terms of Use together with this Notice. That Notice is available within the Application and at the address in Section 23.
1.4 The recorded acceptance in Section 1.2 applies to the Discovery Features only. The recorded acceptance applicable to the relic catalogue is governed by the Notice referred to in Section 1.3.
Section 2 — Definitions
2.1 "Application" means the Day0 application in all its distributions, including its mobile and web clients.
2.2 "Operator" means the publisher of Day0 ("we", "us", "our"), being the person that makes the Application available, and not a publisher of any work referred to in the Material. "User" means the natural person using the Application.
2.3 "Bundled Catalogue" means the curated snapshot of character and work entries distributed within the Application itself.
2.4 "Remote Catalogue" means the curated listing retrieved by the Application from a server operated by the Operator.
2.5 "Online Search" means the optional feature by which a keyword entered by the User is transmitted to a Third-Party Source and matching entries are returned.
2.6 "Third-Party Source" means any database, image server, or other service operated by a person other than the Operator from which Material is obtained or by which it is hosted, including the Bangumi community database (bgm.tv) and its image servers (lain.bgm.tv).
2.7 "Material" means any character name, alias, work title, cast relationship, cover image, avatar image, identifier, link, or other item of information made available through the Discovery Features, whether originating from the Bundled Catalogue, the Remote Catalogue, a Third-Party Source, or otherwise.
2.8 "Records" means the entries created and retained by the User within the Application.
Section 3 — Nature and limits of the Discovery Features
3.1 The Discovery Features constitute an index and retrieval aid whose sole function is to assist the User in selecting entries for the User's own Records. They do not constitute, and shall not be construed as, a description, review, rating, recommendation, endorsement, or promotion of any work, character, publisher, or rights holder.
3.2 The Application does not distribute, sell, resell, license, sublicense, or process payment for any work. The Application does not host the works to which Material refers.
3.3 The Operator does not author Material, does not verify Material, and does not adopt Material as its own statement. Presentation of Material within the Application shall not be construed as a representation by the Operator as to its accuracy, lawfulness, or completeness.
Section 4 — Sources of the Material
4.1 Bundled Catalogue. A curated snapshot of character and work entries is compiled from publicly available community database entries and is distributed within the Application. The selection of works reflected in that snapshot was derived from a voluntary questionnaire conducted outside the Application; the underlying entries were obtained from the Third-Party Sources identified in Section 2.6. The snapshot contains textual metadata only. It is fixed at the time of each release, is not synchronised with any Third-Party Source in real time, and may therefore be outdated, superseded, or inconsistent with its source.
4.2 Remote Catalogue. The Application retrieves from a server operated by the Operator a curated listing which may include promotional placements. Promotional images are served through the Operator's own endpoint. Images of catalogue entries may be served by a third-party content-delivery service; where they are displayed, Section 5 applies. Outbound links in the Remote Catalogue are dispatched through a redirection endpoint operated by the Operator which performs an aggregate, non-identifying count of activations. Promotional placements are identified as such where required by applicable law or platform rules.
4.3 Online Search. Where the User submits a keyword, that keyword is transmitted for the sole purpose of retrieving matching entries from a Third-Party Source, as further described in Section 6.
4.4 Alternate route. The User may elect to configure an alternate endpoint. Any endpoint so configured is selected by the User at the User's sole discretion and risk. The Operator does not control, examine, or assume responsibility for any endpoint configured by the User, nor for any credential the User supplies to it.
Section 5 — Images and direct connections to third-party servers
5.1 The Bundled Catalogue and the results of Online Search reference images by address only; image bytes are not distributed within the Application. Where such an image is displayed, the User's device connects directly to the Third-Party Source hosting that image. In the course of any such connection, the User's internet protocol address, the time of the request, and the technical characteristics ordinarily transmitted by client software become available to that Third-Party Source. Such connection occurs when the relevant screen is displayed and is not conditional upon the User performing a search.
5.2 A Third-Party Source receiving such a connection processes what it receives under its own terms and privacy practices, over which the Operator exercises no control. Its servers may be situated outside Canada and outside the User's jurisdiction of residence.
5.3 Where the alternate route described in Section 4.4 is enabled, image requests are directed accordingly and Section 4.4 applies.
5.4 Where an image of a relic catalogue entry hosted other than on the device is displayed, the provisions of the Relic Catalogue and Third-Party Content Notice apply. Artwork distributed within the Application does not give rise to such a connection.
Section 6 — Information transmitted, and information not transmitted
6.1 Upon submission of a search, the Application transmits the keyword entered by the User, the pagination parameters of the request, and the technical information ordinarily transmitted by client software, including the internet protocol address of the device, the time of the request, and basic client characteristics.
6.2 The Application does not transmit, in connection with the Discovery Features, the User's Records, notes, moods, roles, items, timers, photographs, settings, backups, encryption keys, account identifier, or authentication state.
6.3 By default the request is transmitted from the User's device directly to the Third-Party Source. The Operator does not receive the keyword unless the relay route described in Section 7 has been enabled by the User.
6.4 Searching the relic catalogue is performed on the device, as described in the Relic Catalogue and Third-Party Content Notice. The text entered by the User for that search is not transmitted to the Operator or to any Third-Party Source.
Section 7 — The optional relay route
7.1 Certain networks cannot reach the Third-Party Source. For that circumstance the Application offers a relay route, disabled by default, which the User may enable. When enabled, search requests and image requests are transmitted first to a server operated by the Operator, which forwards them and returns the reply.
7.2 The relay forwards requests. It does not read, store, or analyse the User's searches. The Operator's code deployed on that server is prohibited from recording keywords, paths, headers, or bodies. Technical logs kept for operation and security are retained for the shortest period necessary and may include the request address; they are not used to profile the User. For the protection of the Third-Party Source against abuse, the relay maintains a short-lived, in-memory count of requests per network address, and retains at the network edge a short-lived shared copy of public replies, being approximately one minute for detail responses and approximately five minutes for search responses, so that an identical public query is not repeatedly transmitted to the Third-Party Source. Such copies comprise the public reply only, contain no identifier of the User, and are not retained in respect of any request bearing an authenticated session.
7.3 Transmission through the relay constitutes a disclosure of the keyword and of the User's internet protocol address to the Operator and thereafter to the Third-Party Source. A User who does not wish to make that disclosure is to leave the relay disabled.
7.4 The relay may fail, may be rate-limited, or may be prevented from reaching the Third-Party Source. Upon failure the search fails; the Application does not silently substitute another server.
Section 8 — Character of the Material returned
8.1 Material comprises publicly posted entries contributed by the users of the relevant Third-Party Source and published by it under its own licence terms. The Operator is not the licensor of that Material and can confer upon the User no right that the Third-Party Source has not itself conferred.
8.2 Material may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, duplicated, mistranslated, misattributed, offensive, or infringing. A character may not exist under the name searched. A natural person may share a name with a fictional character. An image may be mislabelled or may be associated with the wrong entry. The Operator verifies none of it.
8.3 All rights in the names, titles, images, and associated indicia comprised in the Material vest in their respective authors and rights holders. The Operator asserts no right in them, claims no licence in respect of them, and does not represent, expressly or by implication, that any authorisation has been obtained from any rights holder.
8.4 The Operator is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, approved by, or otherwise connected to any work, publisher, rights holder, or Third-Party Source referenced in the Material. Material does not represent the position of any rights holder. The Operator does not endorse any Third-Party Source and no Third-Party Source endorses the Application.
Section 9 — Adult-oriented works
9.1 Material may reference, and may include images of, works intended for adults. The relevant Third-Party Source indexes such works alongside all others, marks some of them, and does not mark all of them. The Application relies upon such marking as exists and upon the scope limitations of its own queries, and is therefore unable to warrant that no adult-oriented character, title, or image will be returned in respect of any given query or displayed within any given listing.
9.2 The Application is not an adult product and the Operator does not add adult content to the Material. A User who has not attained the age at which the law applicable to that User permits access to such material, or for whom such material is unlawful in the place where that User is located, shall not use the Discovery Features.
Section 10 — Material imported into Records
10.1 Where the User selects an entry and adds it, the Application copies the name, aliases, and image reference into a character card within the User's Records on the device. From that point the card is administered as part of the Records, is included in backups and, where enabled by the User, in encrypted synchronisation, and may be edited or deleted by the User at any time.
10.2 Copying does not transfer any right in the copied Material. All rights remain vested in their respective rights holders. The User may retain such Material within the User's private Records only. The User shall not extract, reproduce, publish, distribute, transmit, sell, license, or otherwise make available any Material obtained through the Application, nor use it to train any model, nor compile it into any dataset, corpus, or derivative database.
Section 11 — Representations and undertakings of the User
By accepting this Notice, the User represents, warrants, and undertakes that:
(a) the User has attained the age at which the law of the country or region in which the User is located permits access to information concerning works intended for adults, and, where a higher age applies to any category of such works, that the User has attained that age;
(b) access to such information is lawful in the place where the User is located, and the User has satisfied itself of that fact;
(c) the User uses the Discovery Features on the User's own behalf, voluntarily, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of a minor;
(d) the User will not use the Discovery Features to collect Material in bulk, to automate requests, to circumvent any rate limit, or in any manner that contravenes the terms of any Third-Party Source or the acceptable use rules applicable to the Application;
(e) the User accepts sole responsibility for the User's use of the Discovery Features, for any Material displayed as a result, and for any consequence arising under the law applicable to the User; and
(f) each of the foregoing is and remains true for so long as the Discovery Features remain enabled on the device.
Section 12 — Consent and withdrawal
12.1 By accepting this Notice and by submitting a search, the User consents to the disclosures described in Sections 5, 6, and, where enabled, 7, for the sole purpose of retrieving entries for the User's own Records. The Operator uses the keyword for no other purpose.
12.2 Consent is withdrawn by ceasing to use the Discovery Features, by disabling the relay route, or by declining this Notice where the interface affords that option. Withdrawal takes effect prospectively upon the next request. Withdrawal does not reverse any disclosure already made to any Third-Party Source, and does not delete character cards already saved, which the User may delete.
Section 13 — Availability, modification and discontinuance
13.1 The Discovery Features depend upon the availability of Third-Party Sources and, where enabled, upon the relay. Any of them may become unavailable, slow, rate-limited, altered, or discontinued at any time without notice.
13.2 The Operator may modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue any of the Discovery Features, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, and may withhold, correct, or remove any Material at any time, including upon notice from a rights holder or public authority or upon its own review.
Section 14 — Third-party terms
The User's use of the Discovery Features is additionally subject to the terms, copyright notices, and developer terms of each applicable Third-Party Source. Where such terms are altered or terminated, the Discovery Features may be altered or terminated accordingly.
Section 15 — Notices concerning Material; removal and correction
15.1 Any person who considers that Material misrepresents that person or another, infringes any right, or ought not to be displayed may give notice to the address in Section 23. The notice is to identify the Material complained of, state the basis of the complaint, state the action requested, and include contact particulars sufficient for a reply.
15.2 Upon receipt of a notice the Operator will consider it in good faith and act within a reasonable time. The Operator may withhold the Material complained of while the notice is under consideration. The Operator will remove any short-lived copy retained at the network edge. Alteration of an entry held by a Third-Party Source must be requested from that Third-Party Source, the Operator having no ability to effect it.
15.3 Action taken upon a notice does not constitute an admission of any kind.
Section 16 — No warranty
16.1 The Discovery Features, the relay, the Bundled Catalogue, the Remote Catalogue, and all Material are furnished "as is" and "as available".
16.2 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator disclaims all warranties, conditions, representations, and terms of every kind, whether express, implied, statutory, collateral, or arising from any course of dealing or usage of trade, including without limitation any warranty of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement, and any warranty that Material exists, is accurate, complete, current, lawful, inoffensive, correctly attributed, or suitable for any purpose; that the Discovery Features will be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; that any defect will be corrected; or that the Discovery Features are lawful to use in any particular place.
Section 17 — Limitation of liability
Statement for consumers in Quebec, given immediately before the stipulations that follow: the stipulations of Sections 17.1, 17.2, and 17.3 below, and any stipulation as to the law governing this Notice and as to the forum for its enforcement, are prohibited by the Consumer Protection Act (chapter P-40.1) and do not apply to a consumer in Quebec, who may bring proceedings before the courts of Quebec under the law of Quebec.
17.1 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, aggravated, or punitive damages, nor for any loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, opportunity, anticipated saving, data, or records, howsoever arising, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, and whether or not the Operator was advised of the possibility of such loss.
17.2 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator shall not be liable for any loss, claim, proceeding, or consequence arising out of or in connection with: any Material or the User's reliance upon it; any act or omission of any Third-Party Source; any content encountered upon any Third-Party Source or linked destination; any connection made by the User's device to a Third-Party Source; any endpoint configured by the User; the unavailability, failure, or discontinuance of any of the Discovery Features; loss, corruption, or erasure of data stored on the device or in the browser, including erasure by the operating system or by the User; interruption of the Services or of any Third-Party Source; events beyond the Operator's reasonable control; or any breach by the User of Section 11.
17.3 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate liability of the Operator in respect of all claims arising out of or in connection with this Notice and the Discovery Features shall not exceed the greater of the amount paid by the User for the Application in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim and fifty Canadian dollars (CAD $50).
17.4 The limitations in this Section apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law even where a remedy is found to fail of its essential purpose, and survive termination of the User's use of the Application. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or in connection with this Notice or the Discovery Features must be brought within the limitation period prescribed by applicable law.
Section 18 — Indemnity
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the User shall indemnify and hold harmless the Operator and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against all claims, demands, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in connection with any breach by the User of Section 10.2, Section 11, or Section 13, or any use of the Discovery Features by the User in contravention of applicable law or of the terms of any Third-Party Source. The Operator reserves the exclusive right to control the defence and settlement of any matter subject to this indemnity. The User shall not settle or admit liability in respect of any such matter without the Operator's prior written consent. Where the Operator assumes that control, the User shall cooperate.
Section 19 — Non-waivable rights
19.1 Nothing in this Notice excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law, or affects any right conferred upon a consumer which that consumer cannot waive.
19.2 Where the law of the province or territory in which the User resides confers consumer protection rights that cannot be waived by contract, those rights apply notwithstanding anything in this Notice. Where the User is a consumer in Quebec, the Consumer Protection Act (chapter P-40.1) applies, any stipulation in this Notice or in the Terms of Use that is prohibited by that Act does not apply to such User, and, in accordance with that Act, the choice of law and forum stipulated in the Terms of Use does not apply to consumers in Quebec. Where the law applicable to the User confers rights that cannot be waived by contract, those rights prevail over any inconsistent provision of this Notice to the extent of the inconsistency.
Section 20 — Minors
The Application is not directed to children. A parent or guardian who believes that a minor has accepted this Notice upon a device is to decline the Discovery Features upon that device and to employ the parental controls of the device. The Operator does not knowingly collect personal information from children; reference is made to the Privacy Policy.
Section 21 — General
21.1 Severability. Where any provision of this Notice is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision is to be severed to the minimum extent necessary and construed so as to give effect to the intention of the parties to the greatest extent permitted, and the remaining provisions continue in full force.
21.2 No waiver. No failure or delay in exercising any right constitutes a waiver of it, and no single or partial exercise precludes any further exercise. A waiver is effective only if given in writing and only in respect of the instance for which it is given.
21.3 Survival. Sections 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 survive any cessation of the User's use of the Discovery Features, of the relic catalogue, or of the Application.
21.4 Assignment. The User may not assign or transfer any right or obligation under this Notice. The Operator may assign this Notice in whole or in part in connection with a reorganisation, merger, or transfer of the business or assets to which it relates.
21.5 Third-party beneficiaries. Save as expressly provided, this Notice confers no right upon any person who is not a party to it. If the User obtained the Application from the Apple App Store, Section 22.2 of the Terms of Use applies to this Notice. Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Notice in respect of the Application as obtained from the App Store and are entitled to enforce it against the User.
21.6 Entire agreement; headings. This Notice, together with the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties in respect of its subject matter and supersedes any prior statement concerning it. Headings are for reference only and do not affect construction.
21.7 Language. A French version of this Notice is available within the Application and may be selected by the User at any time. A User in Quebec, and any other User who so requests, may obtain that French version within the Application and at the address in Section 23. Where a User, having obtained the French version, expressly elects to be bound by the English version, the parties have by that express election required that this Notice and all related documents be drawn up in English. Une version française du présent avis est disponible au sein de l'Application et peut y être consultée et sélectionnée en tout temps. Un utilisateur situé au Québec, et tout autre utilisateur qui en fait la demande, peut obtenir cette version française au sein de l'Application et à l'adresse indiquée à l'article 23. Lorsque l'utilisateur, après avoir obtenu la version française, choisit expressément d'être lié par la version anglaise, les parties ont par ce choix exprès exigé que le présent avis et tous les documents connexes soient rédigés en anglais.
21.8 Governing law. Save where mandatory consumer-protection or privacy legislation provides otherwise, the governing law and jurisdiction applicable to this Notice are those stipulated in Section 24 of the Terms of Use.
Section 22 — Amendment of this Notice
The Operator may amend this Notice. An amendment affecting the representations in Section 11 will be presented to the User for acceptance before the Discovery Features are further made available. Any other amendment takes effect upon publication and the effective date stated above is updated accordingly. Continued use of the Discovery Features after an amendment takes effect constitutes acceptance of it as it applies to the Features so used. Amendments of the Relic Catalogue and Third-Party Content Notice are governed by that Notice.
Section 23 — Notices and contact
Notices to the Operator, including complaints, removal requests, and notices from rights holders, are to be sent to support@sorrydiary.net and are deemed given upon receipt. The Operator may give notice to the User within the Application.
Section 24 — Relic Catalogue Features
The Relic Catalogue Features of the Application are governed by the Relic Catalogue and Third-Party Content Notice, which forms part of the Terms of Use together with this Notice. That Notice is available within the Application and at the address in Section 23. Nothing in this Notice limits that Notice; where both address the same subject matter, that Notice governs the Relic Catalogue Features.
