Privacy Policy - Ground State Mood

Overview

Ground State Mood is designed with privacy as the foundation. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to any server.

                        Simple principle: Your mood data stays on your device, always. You can delete everything at any time via Settings → Clear all data.
                    

This app works entirely offline, does not require an account or registration, and has no hidden subscriptions. If you choose to use optional reminders, those preferences are stored locally on your device and are used only to schedule local notifications. No reminder data is sent anywhere.

Data We Store

Ground State Mood stores the following information locally on your device:

Mood entries: Your selected mood (Joy, Calm, Ok, Low, Anxious or Angry), any optional note you choose to add, and the timestamp of each entry.
Reminder preferences: If you set up optional reminders, your chosen days and times are stored locally on your device. This information is not transmitted externally.
App preferences: Settings like date format preferences and display options.

All of this data is stored only on your device using local storage. We have no access to it.

Notifications and reminders

Ground State Mood includes an optional reminder feature that can prompt you to log your mood at times you choose.

Reminders are entirely optional. You can enable, adjust, or disable them at any time in Settings.
If you enable reminders, the app will request permission to send notifications on your device.
All reminders are scheduled and generated locally on your device. No internet connection is used.
Notification permission is used only to deliver mood check-in reminders. It is not used for advertising, analytics, or any other purpose.
No behavioural data is collected or inferred through your notification interactions.

                        Note: Reminders involve no cloud communication and no third-party notification services. Everything happens on your device.
                    

Data Sharing

We do not share your data with anyone because we do not collect it.

The only time your data leaves your device is when you choose to export it:

You can export your mood history as a CSV file using your device's share sheet
You control where you send or save this exported data
We do not receive a copy of any exported data

Third-Party Services

Ground State Mood does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

The app does not connect to the internet for any functionality. Optional reminders are delivered using your device's built-in notification system only — no third-party push notification services or behavioural tracking platforms are involved.

Website Analytics (Netlify Web Analytics)

We use Netlify Web Analytics to understand overall site activity (for example, page views and general traffic trends).

It is designed to work without cookies and without client-side tracking scripts.

Note: This applies to the website only; the Ground State Mood app does not use analytics or tracking.

Data Security

Your data security depends on your device's security:

Use a strong passcode or biometric lock on your device
Keep your device's operating system up to date
Be cautious when exporting and sharing your data

Data Deletion

You can delete your data at any time from within the app.

Go to Settings → Clear all data
This permanently removes all mood entries, notes, reminder preferences, and app preferences stored on your device
Ground State Mood does not store your mood data on external servers, so there is no server-side copy to delete

Important: Clearing data cannot be undone.
