6. Your Content

You may submit or upload content in Crown Rising, including check-in responses, reflection text, images, and hair or scalp photos.

  • your content does not violate any law or the rights of any third party.

7. Hair and Image Uploads

Some features may allow you to upload hair, scalp, or related images for personalization, progress tracking, rhythm support, or other guidance within Crown Rising.

  • analysis may involve automated tools or AI-assisted systems;
  • any resulting guidance is informational only and not medical advice;
  • you should upload only photos you have permission to share;
  • you should not upload sensitive, unrelated, or inappropriate content.

More information about how photos are handled appears in the Privacy Policy and in any in-app consent language shown at the time of upload.

8. Essential Recommendations and Third-Party Links

Crown Rising may provide recommended essentials and links to third-party retailers, including Amazon.

Crown Rising does not manufacture, control, or guarantee third-party essentials, pricing, availability, ingredient accuracy, shipping, or retailer claims. You are responsible for reviewing details, ingredient lists, and suitability before purchasing or using any recommended essential.

You agree not to:

  • use Crown Rising for any unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purpose;
  • upload false, infringing, obscene, harassing, or harmful content;
  • upload another person's photo or personal information without permission;
  • interfere with or disrupt the app;

Crown Rising may suspend or terminate access if we believe you have violated these Terms.
