Terms of use

Updated 7 October 2026

The short version

Who we are

These terms are an agreement between you and Quartz Apps LLC ("we" or "us"). We run Roomy at roo.my.

By using Roomy, you agree to these terms, the Guidelines and the Privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Roomy.

Who can use Roomy

Your account

Don't misuse Roomy

Don't:

If you find a security problem, please tell us at security@roo.my before telling anyone else.

Handles

Your handle is the name in your address: roo.my/@name. A new handle is 3 to 24 characters long: letters, numbers, dashes and underscores. Some handles claimed before 4 October 2026 have 2.

Your room and what you put in it

You own what you make and upload. You're responsible for it: your handle, your links, your pictures and your choices.

When you add something to your room, you promise that you have the right to share it, and that it follows the Guidelines and the law.

The licence you give us. To run Roomy, we need your permission to show your room. So you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, adapt, display and share your room and everything in it. "Adapt" includes cropping and shrinking a picture to fit a frame, and making share cards. The licence covers roo.my, the share cards and link previews that other apps show, and suggesting your room to people visiting other rooms. If you make your room Unlisted in Settings, we don't suggest it anywhere. We won't use your room in advertising for Roomy outside roo.my without asking you first.

The licence ends when you remove something or delete your account. Copies other apps have already made may remain, backups last until they expire (about 8 weeks), and we keep anything the law requires.

Links. Your links must go where they say they go. They lead to websites we don't run, and we're not responsible for those sites. When you save a link, we check it against the sites we have blocked. A link that can lead anywhere on the web is also checked against Google's list of unsafe sites (Google Web Risk), when you save it and again about once a week. We may block or remove a link.

Pictures. Only upload pictures you made or have permission to use. Never upload a picture of someone who hasn't agreed to it.

Notes and messages. A note on a board or a sign is part of your room, under the same rules as your bio. If you open your mailbox, people who are signed in and have a room can leave you messages of up to 500 characters, with no links, and you see each one with the sender's roo.my name. When you leave someone a message, what you write must follow the Guidelines like everything else on Roomy: no harassment, no spam, and nothing that asks a stranger for private details or to meet. The room's owner can delete it, block you or report it to us, and we limit how many messages anyone can leave each day. Messages are deleted 90 days after they're sent.

Videos and songs. You can set a TV or computer in your room to play a YouTube or Vimeo video, and a record player or radio to play a Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music or YouTube song, by pasting its address. It plays in the provider's own player, under the provider's terms, when a visitor presses play. The player is the provider's, not ours, and we're not responsible for it or for what it plays. We take the title and author from the provider, check the address as we check a link, and check the title as we check your bio. We may block or remove a video or song, as we may a link.

Our part of Roomy

The furniture, decorations and other art, the Roomy name and look, and the software belong to us or to the artists who licensed them to us.

You may use them in your room, and share screenshots and pictures of your room anywhere. You may not copy the art out of Roomy, sell it, or use it anywhere else.

The free pictures are the exception: they are not ours. See Picture credits.

Picture credits

The free pictures any room can hang are public domain works and photographs given to the public domain (CC0). Nobody needs permission to use them, in Roomy or anywhere else. We credit them all the same:

Coins

Coins are Roomy's currency. You earn them and spend them inside Roomy.

Keeping people safe

The rules. The Guidelines say what isn't allowed on Roomy. They are part of these terms.

Illegal content.

How we find it.

What we can do. If something breaks these terms or the Guidelines, we may remove it, block a link, unpublish a room, take back a handle, or suspend or close an account. We may act without warning where there is a risk of harm. Where we can, we tell the room's owner what we did and why, in the editor, and by email if the account has an email address.

Complaints and appeals

You can complain to us about:

Email support@roo.my with your handle if you have one, the room it's about, and what went wrong. We'll reply within 14 days. If we got it wrong, we'll put it right, for example by restoring what we removed.

For copyright, email copyright@roo.my. Our Copyright policy says what a notice needs and how a counter-notice works. For your information, see the Privacy policy.

Ending your account

Changes

Roomy changes over time: we may add, change or remove features.

When we change these terms, we change the date at the top. If a change matters, we'll tell you by email where we have your address, and with a notice on roo.my, at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless it must happen sooner for legal or safety reasons. If you keep using Roomy after that, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, you can delete your account.

These terms last changed on 7 October 2026: room addresses start with @, links are checked against Google's list of unsafe sites, and the Copyright policy and Refund policy are published. None of these asks more of you or takes anything away, so they took effect that day.

Disclaimers

Roomy is provided "as is" and "as available". As far as the law allows, we don't promise that it will always work, be free of errors, or never lose anything. We're not responsible for other websites, including the ones rooms link to.

If you're a consumer in the UK or the EU, you have legal rights that these terms can't take away.

Limits on our liability

As far as the law allows:

Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit, such as for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
