Marriage Simplified is an AI relationship coach.
You're about to chat with an AI — artificial intelligence. It is not a human, not a therapist, and not a registered psychologist. It offers relationship coaching, education and support.
It is not therapy, medical care, or a crisis service. It can be wrong. Please use your own judgement and seek a qualified professional for serious or clinical concerns.
If you are in crisis or anyone is in danger, this is not the right place — get help now:

We are Gosling International (ABN 28 219 744 700), Queensland, Australia.
To coach you, we collect the content of your chats and (if you see our human counsellor) counsellor case notes. This can include information about your mental health, relationships, family, ADHD or autism. This is sensitive health information, so we protect it to the highest standard and only collect it with your consent.
We use it to: provide your coaching, let our human counsellor support you, keep the Service secure, and improve it. We may store or process some data with providers in [COUNTRIES — operator to insert]; we take reasonable steps to protect it overseas. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy [link] and Terms [link].
You can access, correct or delete your data, withdraw consent, or complain at any time — see the Privacy Policy.

☐ 1. I consent to Marriage Simplified collecting and using my chat content and (where applicable) counsellor case notes — including sensitive information about my mental health and relationships — to provide the Service to me. (required to use the Service)
☐ 2. I understand the AI is not a human, not a therapist, and not a substitute for professional, medical or crisis care, and may be inaccurate. (required)
☐ 3. COMMUNAL LEARNING (optional — OFF by default): I agree that my data may be de-identified (names and identifying details removed so I can't reasonably be identified) and used to help improve the AI for other couples. I understand my identifiable information is never shown to other users, this is optional, and I can turn it off at any time — which stops future use, though anonymised learnings already absorbed by the AI may not be separately retrievable.
> Toggle: ⬜ OFF / ⬜ ON (default OFF)
☐ 4. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. (required)
