Privacy Policy for MindMirror

Last updated: March 2026

1. Overview

MindMirror is a personal reflection and mood-tracking application designed to help users understand their emotions and mental wellbeing. We value your privacy and aim to collect the minimum amount of data necessary for the app to function.

2. Health and Emotional Data

MindMirror allows users to record:

• Mood ratings
  
  

• Emotional reflections
  
  

• Journal entries
  
  

• Activity tags related to wellbeing
  
  

These entries may relate to mental health, emotional state, or personal wellbeing, which may be considered health-related information.

How this data is handled

• Stored locally: All journal entries, mood ratings, reflections, and related data are stored only on your device.
  
  

• No automatic upload: We do not upload, sync, or store this information on external servers in the current version of the app.
  
  

• User control: You may edit or delete your entries at any time within the app.
  
  

3. AI Reflections

MindMirror provides reflection insights based on your mood and selected activity tags.

• In the current version, reflections are generated locally using pre-written content templates.
  
  

• Your journal text is not analyzed or transmitted externally.
  
  

Future AI features

In future versions that enable cloud-based AI:

• Your mood rating and selected activity tags may be sent to a secure server for processing.
  
  

• Journal text will not be transmitted unless explicitly stated.
