The short version: dotyo. is built privacy-first. Your mood data stays on your device. We don't sell it, we can't read it, and we don't want it.

1. Who We Are

dotyo. is a mood tracking app developed and operated by Dotyo. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at support@dotyoapp.com.

2. What Data We Collect

dotyo. is designed to collect as little data as possible. Here is what exists:

We do not collect your name, email address, location, contacts, health data, or any behavioral analytics.

3. How Your Data Is Stored

All mood entries, notes, and app data are stored locally on your device using iOS secure storage. We have no servers that store your personal data.

If you enable Cloud Backup (Premium feature), your data is synced to your private iCloud container. This data is accessible only to you — Apple and dotyo. cannot read it.

4. Biometric Authentication

If you enable app lock, dotyo. uses Face ID or Touch ID via Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. Your biometric data is processed entirely by iOS and is never accessed, stored, or transmitted by dotyo.

5. Notifications

dotyo. may send local notifications to remind you to log your mood. These are scheduled entirely on your device. No notification data is sent to any server.

6. Third-Party Services

dotyo. uses the following third-party service:

We do not use any advertising networks, analytics platforms (e.g. Firebase, Mixpanel), crash reporting tools, or tracking SDKs.

7. Data Retention

Your mood data lives on your device for as long as you keep the app installed. If you delete the app, all local data is permanently removed. If you use iCloud Backup, data persists in your personal iCloud until you delete it manually.

RevenueCat retains anonymized subscription records in accordance with their own privacy policy and applicable law.

8. How to Delete Your Data

You can delete all your data at any time:

9. Security

dotyo. uses iOS secure storage (Keychain and locally encrypted databases) to protect your data on-device. Biometric lock adds an additional layer of access control. Since we don't operate servers that store your personal data, there is no central database that could be breached.

10. Children's Privacy

dotyo. is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has used the app and provided personal data, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to address it.

11. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

To exercise any of these rights or ask questions, contact us at support@dotyoapp.com.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you via an in-app notice. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

13. Contact

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us at support@dotyoapp.com. We aim to respond within 2 business days.
