Terms of service

Last updated: September 17, 2026

Read these alongside the privacy policy, current pricing, and platform availability.

Using Second

These terms apply to the Second hosted service and its companion apps, extensions, CLI, and integrations, maintained by thedevdavid. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms. You must be able to enter an agreement under the laws that apply to you, and have authority to act for anyone whose content you provide.

Your account and connected tools

Provide accurate account information and protect your password, passkeys, API tokens, and devices. You are responsible for the tools you authorize and the actions they perform within your permissions. Inspect connected-app access, use the narrowest permissions appropriate to your task, and revoke access when it is no longer needed. Contact us if you suspect unauthorized use.

Your content

You retain your rights in the content you provide. You give Second permission to store, copy, process, transmit, and display that content as needed to provide the features you use, including synchronization, extraction, search, AI processing, export, and integrations. This does not transfer ownership of your content to Second.

Only save or share content you are authorized to use. Access to a website, conversation, or file does not automatically grant permission to reproduce it or send it to an AI service. You are responsible for permissions relating to other people’s personal information and third-party intellectual property.

AI results and external services

AI suggestions, answers, Briefs, transcripts, and extracted content can be incomplete or incorrect. Review important outputs and their sources before relying on them. They are not a substitute for qualified professional advice.

A connected host may not expose a complete transcript, selected reply, or original file. A save receipt describes the material Second received, not unseen material in another app. External AI hosts, app stores, and integrations have their own terms, charges, availability, and data practices. Revoke access in Second and manage existing copies with those providers separately.

Acceptable use

Do not use Second for unlawful activity, infringement, harassment, malware, unauthorized access, or attempts to bypass another person’s permissions. Do not interfere with service security, overwhelm the service, or evade rate limits. We may restrict access or suspend an account when reasonably needed to address abuse, security risks, or legal requirements.

Beta availability and pricing

Second is currently free during the beta, including the available AI features. There is no paid Pro checkout today. Rate limits, file limits, provider capacity, and platform restrictions apply. Future paid offers will state their price and terms before purchase.

Features and distribution differ across platforms. A source release or development build does not mean an app is publicly available in an app store. We may change or discontinue features, and beta features may have interruptions or defects. We do not promise uninterrupted service, permanent storage, or a particular future feature. Keep exports of information that matters to you.

Export, deletion, and ending use

You can stop using Second, disconnect integrations, export your library, or delete your account through Settings. Archive is reversible storage; permanent deletion and account reset are different actions and may not be recoverable. Derived search data and stored objects may be cleaned up asynchronously.

Deleting Second content or revoking a connection does not delete copies already held by another service, an export, or a device. Integration sync does not propagate permanent deletions. Existing generated outputs may retain text derived from a deleted source until you edit or delete those outputs.

Service limitations and your rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Second is provided as available, without a warranty that it will be error-free or fit every purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes rights, remedies, or liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

Changes and contact

We may revise these terms as the service changes. The date on this page identifies the current version. Contact contact@thedevdavid.com with questions about these terms, support, or your account.
