faq

The questions you should ask.

Answered plainly. If something here surprises you in either direction, write to us.

Do you train models on my data?

No. Your Roots, your Cones, your Rings — none of it is used to train any model, ours or anyone else’s. We’ll never make this clearer than this sentence.

Can I export my history?

Yes, always. JSON for the structured data, Markdown for the human-readable Cones, PDF for the rings reports. Export is a button, not a support ticket.

What if Bristlecone goes away?

Your data is yours, exportable in formats listed above. We will give 12 months’ notice and a working export endpoint either way. We’d rather wind down honestly than disappear quietly.

Refunds?

Within 30 days of your first annual payment, no questions. After that, a pro-rata refund for whichever season you didn’t finish.

Cancellation?

A button. No exit interview, no “wait, you qualify for a discount” popup, no holds. Annual plans cancel at term end; monthly plans cancel within the day.

Do you have a free tier?

No. Free tiers tend to compromise the product for the people paying for it. We’d rather charge fairly than build for the freeloader.
