Third-Party Services
CastMyMood uses trusted third-party services to power certain features of the app, including AI-generated content, subscription management, and contextual experiences. These services may collect limited data as outlined in their own privacy policies.
AI Mood Results: Your mood input is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate your results — mantra, email tone, meal suggestion, and more. Inputs are processed in real time and not stored after your session.
AI Companion: When you use the Stay With Me companion chat feature, your messages are sent to OpenAI's API to generate responses. These messages are processed in real time and are not stored after your session. OpenAI does not use your messages to train their models via the API. See OpenAI's privacy policy for details.
Location: Your approximate location (city-level only) may be used to provide contextually relevant content within the app — for example, localizing support resources or adding environmental context to your results. We do not collect or store your precise location, and it is never used for advertising purposes.
Subscriptions & Purchases: In-app purchases and subscription status are managed through RevenueCat. This service may collect a device identifier and purchase history solely to manage your subscription. We do not store your payment details.
We are committed to working only with reputable service providers who maintain appropriate data protection standards. We do not sell your data to any third party.
Privacy Mode
CastMyMood includes a built-in Privacy Mode. When enabled, your mood history is not stored on your device. You can toggle this at any time in the app's Settings screen.
Crisis & Mental Health Resources
Mental health and safety resources are built into CastMyMood. If the app detects a mood that may indicate distress, it may display country-specific support information — including crisis lines, shelter resources, addiction support, and financial help.
No personal data is collected or transmitted as part of this process. Resource display is based entirely on your detected mood and your device's locale settings.
Data Retention
- Mood inputs are processed in real time and are not stored after your session
- Companion chat messages are processed in real time and are not stored after your session
- Location data is used for weather context only and never stored
- Anonymized usage analytics may be retained for up to 12 months
- Subscription records are retained as required for billing and legal compliance
Children's Privacy
CastMyMood is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights including:
- The right to access information we hold about you
- The right to request deletion of your data
- The right to opt out of analytics collection by adjusting your device settings
- The right to enable Privacy Mode to prevent mood history being stored locally
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use the app responsibly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the app. Continued use of CastMyMood after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
