Moodly ("Moodly", "we", "us", or "our") provides a mood and daily reflection app that helps users track their day, compare anonymous trends, share selected posts to a community feed, and privately chat one-to-one with other users. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, and what choices you have.
Moodly is intended only for adults who are at least 18 years old. Because Moodly includes anonymous or pseudonymous community features and private chat, we require users to be mature enough to use these tools responsibly and lawfully.

3. How Information Is Shared
We do not sell your personal information.
A. With Other Users
- Your nickname, avatar, and content you intentionally share to the feed may be visible to other users
- Private chat messages are visible only to the participants in that conversation
- Feed posts and community comparisons may reflect your shared or aggregated activity without revealing your email
B. With Service Providers
We use third-party infrastructure providers such as Google Firebase and Expo services to operate Moodly.
C. For Safety, Legal, and Enforcement Reasons
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms, investigate abuse, comply with legal obligations, or protect users, Moodly, or the public.
4. Anonymous and Public Features
Moodly is designed around pseudonymous use. Your visible identity in the app is based on your nickname and avatar.
- Content you choose to post to the feed becomes visible to the community
- Users you chat with can see your nickname, avatar, and the messages you send
- Report, block, and moderation systems may retain internal records for safety and enforcement
Anonymous or pseudonymous use does not permit hate, harassment, sexual misconduct, impersonation, or other abusive behavior. We may investigate and take action against accounts that misuse anonymity.
While Moodly offers moderation, reporting, blocking, and safety tools, we cannot guarantee that misuse by other users will never occur. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Moodly and the people or company behind Moodly are not responsible for unlawful, abusive, deceptive, or otherwise harmful conduct carried out by third-party users.
5. Notifications
If you enable notifications, Moodly may send daily reminders, chat request notifications, and message notifications. You can manage permissions in your device settings and inside the app where available.
6. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the app, maintain account history, support moderation and safety, and meet legal or operational obligations.
7. Your Choices
- Edit your nickname, avatar, and check-in content
- Choose whether to share a check-in to the feed
- Block users
- Report users or conversations
- Disable reminders or notifications
- Delete your account from inside the app, subject to any required re-authentication by Firebase Authentication
If you need help with deletion or support, contact us at moodlysupport@gmail.com.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Age Requirement
Moodly is not intended for anyone under 18 years old. If we learn that a person under 18 has created or used an account, we may remove associated information, restrict the account, and require a different eligible account holder to use the service in the future.
10. International Use
Moodly may be operated and supported using services that process data in different countries. By using the app, you understand that your information may be processed outside your country of residence, subject to applicable safeguards.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may update the effective date and provide notice in the app or through other appropriate means.
