Mouna Privacy Policy

1. Our Core Philosophy: Zero Data Harvesting

Mouna was built to be a safe, private sanctuary for your mind. We believe your thoughts, worries, and anxiety patterns belong strictly to you. We do not collect, read, transmit, or sell your personal journal entries or audio recordings.

2. How Your Data is Stored (100% Local)

• Text & Voice Notes: Your journal entries, Time Vault data, and audio recordings are saved locally to your device’s internal storage. They are never uploaded to a cloud server or database owned by us.
• Analytics & Progress: Your Resilience XP, Constellation progress, and jar statistics are calculated and stored locally on your device.
• Biometric Security: If you enable Fingerprint, Face Unlock, or PIN lock within Mouna, the app relies purely on your device’s native Android security. We do not have access to your biometric data.

3. Permissions We Request

To provide Mouna’s core features, the app requires the following device permissions:

• Microphone: Required exclusively to record voice notes for your worry jars. The audio files are saved locally on your device and are never transmitted over the internet.
• Notifications: Used to remind you to check in and to alert you when a locked worry is ready to review. All notifications are scheduled and generated locally on your device. No notification content is sent to any server.
• Alarms & Reminders: If you enable check-in reminders, we ask for permission to schedule exact alarms so your reminders arrive on time even when your device is in battery-saving mode. This permission is used only to schedule your local reminders.
• Battery Optimization: We may optionally ask you to exempt Mouna from battery optimization so reminders are delivered reliably. This is entirely optional and only affects how your device schedules Mouna’s local notifications.

4. Third-Party Services (Mouna Pro)

While Mouna operates completely offline, we use secure, industry-standard third-party services exclusively to process in-app purchases for Mouna Pro.

• RevenueCat: We use RevenueCat to manage our premium entitlements and verify if you have purchased Mouna Pro. RevenueCat collects an anonymous App User ID, device type, OS version, country, and purchase timestamps to validate your purchase receipt with Google Play. They do not have access to your name, email, or any of your journal entries. (RevenueCat Privacy Policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy)
• Google Play Billing: Purchases are processed securely through Google Play. We do not collect or store your credit card information.
• Google Play Updates: The app periodically checks Google Play for newer versions so you can update in-app. This check is handled by Google Play services and does not include any of your journal data.

5. Data Deletion

Because your data is not stored on our servers, you have total control over it. You can permanently delete all your data (including text, audio, and statistics) at any time using "Delete All Data" in Mouna’s Settings, or by uninstalling the app from your device.

Please note that because we do not use cloud backups, deleting your data or uninstalling the app will result in the permanent, unrecoverable loss of your journal entries.

6. Data Retention

We do not operate any servers or databases that store your personal data, so we retain none of your journal content ourselves. Everything you create in Mouna is retained only in local storage on your own device, for exactly as long as you choose to keep it there.

• On-device content (journal entries, Time Vault data, voice notes, mood check-ins, Resilience XP, and statistics): retained locally on your device until you delete it within the app or uninstall Mouna. It is never transmitted to us, and we retain no copy of it.
• Purchase-validation data (Mouna Pro): the anonymous App User ID and purchase records used to verify your Mouna Pro entitlement are retained by RevenueCat and Google Play in accordance with their own retention policies. This data contains none of your journal content and nothing that personally identifies you to us.

Because none of your content ever reaches us, there is nothing for us to retain, back up, or delete on your behalf — you remain in complete control of how long your data lives, at all times.

7. Children's Privacy

Mouna does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13, as we do not collect any personal data to begin with.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our app or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date.
