Privacy Policy

MoodMop ("the app", "we") is developed by Tom Staelens (Staelens-IT), Belgium. This policy explains exactly what data the app handles, why, and the choices you have.

Data stored locally on your device

We store, only on your device (via Apple's standard UserDefaults): your lifetime score and which emotions you've unlocked; your language preference; your in-app settings (such as the Gen Z / Gen Alpha tone). This data never leaves your device and is removed when you delete the app.

Motion sensor data

While you "mop" an emotion, the app reads your device's accelerometer and gyroscope to measure how intensely you move. These values are processed in memory in real time and discarded the moment the session ends. They are never stored or transmitted.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The app shows banner ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect a device advertising identifier (IDFA), advertising and usage data, and diagnostic information. This happens for tracking purposes only if you allow it in Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt. If you decline, no advertising identifier is shared and you still see (non-personalized) ads. Learn more in Google's advertising policy.

Data we do not collect

We have no backend server of our own. We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos, precise location, or any other personally identifying information. We use no analytics beyond what AdMob needs to deliver ads.

Your rights & legal basis (GDPR)

Because we don't collect personal data ourselves, we hold nothing about you to access, correct, or erase. For AdMob, the legal basis is your consent, given through the ATT prompt; you can withdraw it any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. You retain your GDPR rights (access, erasure, objection) — contact us with any request.

Children's privacy

MoodMop is rated 12+ and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

Decline tracking in the ATT prompt to stop the IDFA being shared. Reset your in-app progress any time via Settings → Reset progress. Uninstall the app to stop all processing.
