Terms of Use

What Drift Circle is

Drift Circle helps a circle of 2 to 6 friends stay close with one nudge email a week: a voice memo week, a photo week or a call week, plus a question to ask one friend. It is free to use right now.

Your account

• You need to be at least 18 to use Drift Circle.
• You sign in with your own Google account. Please don't sign in as someone else.
• You're responsible for what happens in your account, so keep your Google account secure.

Circles and invites

• Only invite people you know who would like to be invited. Each circle holds up to 6 people.
• If you host a circle and let Drift Circle book calls, the calls go on your own Google Calendar and the invites come from your Google account.
• Anyone can pause their nudges, leave a circle or delete their account at any time.

What you share

• Your answers and anything else you add are yours. You give us permission to store them and use them to run Drift Circle: to write the weekly questions (including with Claude, unless you turn AI off) and to show them to your circle as the Privacy Policy describes.
• Only share things about yourself. Please don't add other people's private information.
• Photos, voice memos and videos are shared in your own group chat, not in Drift Circle. That chat follows its own app's rules.

Please be kind

Don't use Drift Circle to:

• harass, threaten or bully anyone, or share anything hateful or illegal;
• send spam or invite people who didn't ask to join;
• try to get into other people's accounts or circles, or break or overload the app.

If someone does, we may remove their access.

About the AI questions

When AI is on, Claude writes the weekly questions from what your friends shared. It usually gets them right, but it can miss. If a question doesn't fit, skip it. You can turn AI off in Settings.

The fine print

• Drift Circle is provided as is. We work to keep it running well, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of mistakes, like a missed email or a suggested time that doesn't work.
• We may change, pause or stop Drift Circle. If we shut it down, we'll let you know first by email.
• To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect losses from using Drift Circle, and our total liability is limited to $50.
• These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey.
• Drift Circle isn't for emergencies. If someone is in danger, contact local emergency services.
• If these terms change, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Using Drift Circle after that means you accept them.
