# Privacy Policy for MindPulse
At MindPulse, your privacy is our core philosophy. We believe your mental health data is sacred and should remain under your control.
## 1. Data Collection and Storage
MindPulse is an "offline-first" application.
- **Local Storage:** All data you enter—including check-ins, mood logs, journal entries, and personal triggers—is stored locally on your mobile device using an encrypted database (Room).
- **No Account Required:** You do not need to create an account to use MindPulse. We do not collect names, email addresses, or phone numbers.
- **No Server Sync:** We do not operate any servers. Your data never leaves your device unless you choose to back it up through your own OS-level cloud backups (e.g., Google Drive/iCloud).
## 2. Third-Party Services
MindPulse does not use third-party analytics (like Google Analytics or Firebase) or advertising networks. We do not track your behavior across other apps or websites.
## 3. Permissions
MindPulse may request the following permissions:
- **Biometric/Lock:** To secure your data on your device.
- **Notifications:** To send you gentle reminders for check-ins (if enabled by you).
## 4. Children's Privacy
Because we do not collect any personal information, MindPulse is safe for users of all ages. However, we encourage younger users to use the app with parental guidance.
## 5. Your Rights
Since all data is on your device, you have full control:
- **Access/Modify:** You can view and edit any entry within the app.
- **Delete:** You can delete specific entries or clear all data by uninstalling the app.
## 6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted within the app.
## 7. Contact Us
If you have questions about our privacy-first approach, you can contact the developer directly through the app's GitHub repository or store contact.
*MindPulse is a tool for self-reflection and is not a replacement for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.*
