3. How We Use Your Information

Local Data (on your device)

Your mood entries, habits, journal entries, and insights are stored locally on your device using SQLite. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly use the export feature.

AI Insight Generation

When generating AI insights, Moodva sends a anonymized summary of your recent data (mood scores, habit completion rates, and brief journal excerpts) to Anthropic's Claude API. This data is:

Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the App. All analytics data is anonymized and aggregated. We use this data solely to improve the App experience.

Free users see banner advertisements served by Google AdMob. AdMob may use anonymized device identifiers for ad personalization. You can opt out of personalized ads in your device settings. Pro subscribers see no advertisements.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your personal data (mood, habits, journals) is stored locally on your device and protected by your device's built-in security mechanisms. We implement appropriate technical measures to protect any data transmitted to our service providers.

We retain anonymized analytics data for up to 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted.

All third-party service providers are contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
