Any optional notes you add to your mood entries

⏰ Timestamps

The date and time when you make mood entries

Data Storage and Security

🔒 Local Storage

👤 User Control

You have full control over your data and can delete it from within the Application at any time using the "Delete All Data" feature.

Security Notice

While we aim to use commercially acceptable means to protect your locally stored data, please remember that no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. The security of your data on your local machine is also dependent on the overall security of your computer.

Third-Party Services

MoodBar does not use any third-party services to collect or process your personal mood data. All data handling and storage occur locally on your device.

For Parents and Guardians:

If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information (though MoodBar is designed not to collect it in the first place), please contact us.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from children under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our systems (though, for MoodBar, all data is local to the user's device).
