Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
The short version: Free users' data stays on their device. Premium users who opt for cloud storage have their data protected in secure, GDPR-compliant servers. We never sell or share your data.
Our Privacy Commitment
Tracking My Mood is designed with privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought. We believe your mental health data is deeply personal and should remain completely under your control.
What Data We Collect
Data We Do NOT Collect
- Your location or device information
- Usage analytics or behavioural data
- Tracking or advertising cookies

Free Users (Local Storage)
Free users' data is stored locally in your web browser using IndexedDB and localStorage. This includes:
- Mood tracking entries (mood, energy, stress, anxiety, sleep quality)
- Journal entries
- Self-care activity logs
- Mood selfie photos
- Your preferences and settings
This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export it.

- Mood tracking entries, journal entries, and self-care logs
- Subscription and payment information (processed securely by Stripe)
This data is encrypted, stored securely, and never sold or shared with third parties.
Cookies
We use only strictly necessary cookies for authentication (keeping you logged in). These are exempt from consent requirements under UK/EU law. We do not use any tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies.
