Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 19, 2026

MoodMirror ("we", "us", "our") operates the moodmirror.org website and application. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Information We Collect

• Account information: email address, display name, phone number (optional), and timezone.
• Mood data: daily self-reported and observer-reported mood entries across four dimensions (depressed mood, elevated mood, irritability, anxiety), each rated on a four-point scale.
• Relationship data: records of who you have invited to observe your mood, their role, and access configuration.
• Usage data: standard web analytics including pages visited, browser type, and IP address.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide the MoodMirror service, including mood comparison features.
• To send reminders and notifications you have configured.
• To authenticate your account and protect your data.
• To improve the service through aggregated, anonymized analytics.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Your mood data is shared only with observers you explicitly invite and authorize. We use third-party services (email delivery, SMS delivery, hosting) that process data on our behalf under contractual protections.

Data Security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. We use modern authentication methods and enforce least-privilege access controls. Access management events are logged for auditing.

Data Retention and Deletion

You may request export or deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. When you revoke an observer's access, they immediately lose access to all your data for that relationship.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, export, and delete your personal data. You control who can observe your mood data and can revoke access at any time.

Not a Medical Service

MoodMirror is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or emergency service. It does not provide clinical advice. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency services or call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email.
