Privacy Policy
Last updated October 26, 2026
About this policy
This policy explains how MoodDare handles information when you use the app. It covers account access, creative tools and community features. Contact the MoodDare team at oscasavia@gmail.com with privacy questions or requests.
Information you provide
We process your account identifier, email address and sign-in information to manage your account. If you use Google sign-in, Google also provides basic profile information such as your name and profile picture. We store profile details you choose to add, including your username, name, bio and avatar; photos and videos you post, including recorded audio; selected moods and dares; and your comments, replies, likes, follows, blocks and reports. We also receive information you send when you contact support.
Information on your device
The app keeps sign-in state, cached content and working photo or video files on your device to provide its features. Find people stores recent searches locally for your account; you can remove individual searches or clear them from that screen. Service providers may process technical information, including IP addresses, device or app details and security logs, to authenticate requests, deliver content and protect the service.
Notifications
MoodDare stores notification preferences, activity identifiers and read status to provide your private activity inbox. If you enable phone alerts, Firebase Cloud Messaging processes a device registration token linked to your signed-in account to deliver them. You can change notification categories or disable phone alerts in Settings. Notification entries are removed after about 30 days; inactive device registrations are removed after about 60 days. Signing out removes the current device registration. Phone alerts do not include the text of comments or replies.
Personalized Moments
For you uses the moments you spend time viewing, video completion, likes, saved dares, follows and Not interested choices to suggest a varied mix of recent posts. This activity history is private to your account and is not used to diagnose your mood or health. The feed uses up to your 200 most recent activity records; records expire after 30 days and are removed during daily cleanup. In the Moments filter menu, choose Latest to pause new activity learning and see newest posts first, or reset feed preferences to delete this history. Resetting does not remove your public likes, saved dares or follows. Account deletion removes recommendation history too.
Community analytics
We use first-party analytics to measure signed-in activity and returning members, registration and profile setup, mood selections, dare participation, posting success and speed, likes, shares, account deletion, and error categories. Private For you history is not used for these reports. App events may wait in a bounded on-device queue for up to seven days before delivery. Account-linked activity dates, first-step flags and duplicate-prevention records support accurate totals and are removed during account deletion. Duplicate-prevention records expire after 32 days; unlinked sign-in-attempt session receipts expire after nine days, and lifecycle receipts expire after 90 days. Random-key activity summaries retain dates for up to 35 days without account identifiers; deleting an account removes its link to those summaries. Aggregate totals and hashed post-publication receipts may remain after deletion so removing content does not rewrite historical counts. Release builds also use Firebase Crashlytics for crash reports, stack traces, device and app version information, and installation identifiers. We do not deliberately attach names, email addresses, post content or account IDs to crash reports. Our website measures page views, navigation and download clicks, and promo-video playback milestones by video version using a random browser-tab session identifier. It excludes URL queries, individual moment IDs and referrers, and honors Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Website session receipts expire after two days; a rotating hashed network identifier limits abuse without storing raw IP addresses in our analytics records. Hosting and service providers may maintain operational logs as described in their policies. Only authorized staff can view analytics reports. This tracking does not use advertising identifiers or track activity across other apps or websites.
Camera, microphone and face effects
Camera access lets you take photos and videos. Microphone access lets you record sound. Photo-library or media permissions are used when you select or save media. You can manage these permissions in your device settings; disabling them may limit the related feature. Face detection and beauty effects process images and face landmarks on your device. On Android, these effects use Google ML Kit. Google receives ML Kit performance and usage metrics to maintain and improve the SDK and detect misuse; camera images and detected face landmarks are not sent to Google by ML Kit. MoodDare does not use these landmarks to identify you or upload them as a face template. Edited photos or videos may contain your face and are uploaded when you choose to post; a profile photo is uploaded when you save it to your profile.
How we use information
We use information to provide accounts, profiles, capture and editing tools, posting, discovery and social features; handle support requests and reports; protect accounts and the community; and meet applicable legal obligations. The current app does not include advertising or a separate advertising-tracking SDK. If these practices change, we will update this policy and seek permission where required.
What other people can see
Other signed-in members can view your profile, posts and social interactions such as comments, likes and follower or following lists. Users can save and share posted photos and videos. Anyone who receives a shared media link may be able to view the media without signing in. Blocking controls what appears in parts of the app; it does not recall downloaded copies or make previously shared links private. Please avoid posting sensitive information or material you do not want others to retain.
Service providers and disclosures
MoodDare uses Google Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions and Firebase Cloud Messaging for sign-in, database, media hosting and notifications, and Google sign-in when you choose it. These providers process information to deliver and secure those services. Information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Sharing through your phone’s share menu sends the content you select to the service or person you choose. We may also disclose information when required by law or when necessary to address fraud, abuse or threats to people’s safety.
Retention and deletion
Moments leave the feed after 24 hours, but this does not delete the post or its media. Your posts remain available through your profile until deleted. You can delete your own posts and comments and request account deletion in Settings. Account deletion removes the profile, uploaded media, posts and associated account data handled by the deletion process. Accepted deletion requests continue on our servers and retry temporary failures. Cloud Storage keeps recoverable soft-deleted copies for its configured seven-day recovery period. Some records may remain in service-provider logs or backups for their retention periods, or where legally required. Copies downloaded or shared by others are outside our control. Local cached files may remain until cleared by the app, operating system or removal of the app.
Reports and saved review context
When content or an account is reported, we save private review context, including the report reason, relevant account identifiers, the reported text or profile details, and a private copy of reported moment media when available. These snapshots are accessible only to authorized moderation staff and can remain after the public content or account is deleted. Ordinary report snapshots are scheduled for deletion 90 days after the latest report. Child-safety reports are placed on a preservation hold for explicit review; authorized staff can also hold other reports when needed for safety or preservation obligations. Held snapshots remain until that hold is released, after which a new 90-day retention period applies. We separately retain moderation decision records and removal archives for review and appeals. Service-provider recovery copies follow their configured retention periods.
Your choices and requests
You can edit your profile, delete your content, clear recent searches, manage device permissions, sign out or delete your account. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, receive a copy of, delete or restrict use of your information, or to object to certain processing. Send requests to oscasavia@gmail.com; we may need to verify your identity. You may also contact your local privacy regulator. Signing out alone does not delete your account or posted content.
Age requirement
MoodDare is currently intended for adults aged 18 or older. If you believe someone under 18 has provided personal information through the app, contact the MoodDare team at oscasavia@gmail.com so we can investigate and address the account and related information. An age requirement is not a claim that we have verified every user’s age.
Security
We use authentication and access rules to limit access to account data and media. No app, network or storage system can promise absolute security. Keep your device and sign-in credentials secure, and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access.
Policy updates
We will update the date on this page when our practices change. We will bring material changes to your attention in the app or by another appropriate method and request any additional consent required by law.
