Terms of use

These terms govern your use of The Curator mobile app and this website. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them.

Last updated June 2026

The service

The Curator provides daily news briefings, source-backed articles, search, saves, collections, and optional AI audio narration. Content is distilled from multiple outlets for informational purposes — it is not financial, medical, or legal advice.

We may update features, sources, or availability as the product evolves.

Accounts and sign-in

You need an account to sync saves and subscriptions. Sign in with email/password, Google, or Sign in with Apple on iOS.

You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at support@thecuratorgroup.org if you suspect unauthorized access.

Free tier, ads and subscriptions

Core reading is free and may include ads on the free tier. Optional Basic, Premium, and Lifetime purchases remove ads and unlock features such as audio narration, collections, and higher save limits.

Purchases on iOS are billed through the Apple App Store; on Android through Google Play. RevenueCat manages entitlement state on our backend.

Subscription terms (Apple and Google)

Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

Manage or cancel in your device’s App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Lifetime purchases are one-time and do not renew. Refunds follow Apple and Google policies — we cannot override store refund decisions.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Scrape, bulk-download, or resell Curator content or audio.
  • Reverse-engineer, interfere with, or overload our systems.
  • Use the service to harass others or violate applicable law.
  • Circumvent paywalls, subscription checks, or rate limits.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that abuse the service.

Content and sources

Articles and briefings synthesize reporting from third-party publishers. Original rights remain with those sources. We provide attribution and links where applicable. We do not guarantee completeness or real-time accuracy of every story.

Termination and deletion

You may delete your account anytime from Settings → Account in the app or through our account deletion page. See our Privacy policy for data handling after deletion.

We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these terms or to protect the service.

Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided “as is” to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Our liability is limited to the maximum extent allowed in your jurisdiction.
