Terms & Conditions

Last updated: January 27, 2025

The Short Version: Stupid Correlations is an entertainment app. The correlations are real statistics, but any implied causation is purely for laughs. Please use responsibly and don't make important life decisions based on our charts.

1. What This App Is

Stupid Correlations ("the App," "we," "our") is an entertainment application that generates humorous correlation charts using real statistical data. The App is designed for fun, social sharing, and creative entertainment.

Let's be absolutely clear: correlation does not imply causation. The statistical relationships shown in the App are real, but the humorous connections we suggest are not scientific conclusions. They're jokes. Good ones, we hope.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, accessing, or using Stupid Correlations, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you don't agree, please don't use the App. We'll miss you, but we'll understand.

3. How You Can Use the App

You may use Stupid Correlations to:

  • Generate correlation charts for personal entertainment
  • Share generated content on social media and other platforms
  • Use charts in non-commercial presentations (like making your friends laugh)
  • Have a good time discovering absurd statistical relationships

4. How You Cannot Use the App

Please don't use Stupid Correlations to:

  • Present correlations as scientific evidence or causal relationships
  • Make medical, financial, or other important decisions
  • Spread misinformation (our charts should be obviously absurd)
  • Create content that's hateful, discriminatory, or harmful
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our source code
  • Use automated systems to excessively access our services

5. Content Ownership

Your Generated Content: When you create a correlation chart, you own the rights to share and use that specific generated image. You grant us a non-exclusive license to use anonymized versions of generated content for marketing and improving the service.

Our Content: The App itself, including its design, algorithms, and underlying data compilations, remains our property. The statistical data comes from public sources (primarily Our World in Data) and is used under their open licenses.

6. Premium Subscriptions

If you subscribe to premium features:

  • Subscriptions are managed through your device's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play)
  • Billing and refunds are handled by the respective app store
  • You can cancel anytime through your app store settings
  • Premium features may change; we'll notify subscribers of significant changes

7. Free Tier Limitations

Free users have access to limited daily generations. This isn't us being mean; it's us keeping the servers running. Premium removes these limits and adds extra features.

Disclaimer: This app is for entertainment only. We are not responsible for any arguments started at dinner parties, friendships lost over disputed correlations, or doctoral theses rejected because you cited "Stupid Correlations" as a source.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
  • We're not liable for any decisions made based on correlation charts
  • We're not responsible for how others interpret your shared content
  • Our total liability is limited to the amount you've paid us (if any)

Basically: it's a fun app that makes silly charts. Please don't sue us if someone takes your cheese-doctorate correlation too seriously.

9. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You can delete your account at any time through the App settings. Upon deletion, your data will be removed according to our Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms occasionally. When we do:

  • We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top
  • For significant changes, we'll notify you through the App
  • Continued use after changes means you accept the new terms

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where we operate. Any disputes will be resolved in the appropriate courts of that jurisdiction.

Remember: The strongest correlation we've found is between using this app and having a good time. That one might actually be causal.
