Journal & Mood Data

Your emotional data is among the most sensitive information we could ever handle. We take this responsibility very seriously.

Stored on Your Device
All journal entries, mood logs, emotional notes, and personal reflections are stored locally on your device only. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly enable iCloud Sync.
iCloud Sync
If you enable iCloud Sync, your data is stored in your private, end-to-end encrypted iCloud account. MoodCanvas has zero access to the content of your journals.
No Content Analysis
We never read, analyze, process, or derive insights from the content of your journal entries — on our servers or anywhere else.

Mental Health Data — Special Protections

Mood and emotional data receives the highest level of protection we can provide.

No Profiling
We never create psychological profiles, infer mental health conditions, or build behavioral models from your mood data.
No Third-Party Sharing
Your mood or journal data is never shared with health insurers, employers, researchers, advertisers, or any third party — under any circumstances.
No Research Use
We do not use your personal mood data for research of any kind without your explicit, informed, and freely given consent.

You own your data. Always.
