Privacy Policy for Emotap
Last Updated: March 21, 2026
Welcome to Emotap. I am an individual developer dedicated to providing a secure, private space for your thoughts and emotional wellbeing. This policy explains how your data is handled across our iOS and Android applications.
1. Data Architecture & Security
We believe your private thoughts should stay private. Emotap uses a secure cloud-sync architecture to ensure your data is safe, accessible across devices, and enhanced by personal insights.
- Secure Cloud Storage (Supabase): To provide you with AI-powered mood summaries and “Heads-up” notifications, your entries are stored in a secure, encrypted database powered by Supabase. This allows our AI to analyze your history to provide personalized feedback.
- Encryption: Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. This means your information is scrambled while moving to our servers and while stored in the database.
- Google Sign-In & Sync: We use Google Sign-In to securely link your entries to your account. This ensures that if you lose or change your device, your memories and progress are fully restorable.
- Privacy & Access: As the developer, I maintain a strict “No-Access” policy. I do not monitor your private journals, and your data is never sold to third parties or used for advertising.
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Mood Insights
Emotap uses advanced Artificial Intelligence to help you understand your emotional patterns and stay aware of your mental health.
- What we do: Your text entries are processed via Lovable (utilizing Large Language Models) to generate mood summaries and proactive “Heads-up” notifications (e.g., identifying patterns of sadness or stress).
- Explicit Consent: This processing only happens if you give explicit permission. You are informed whenever you are receiving content generated by an AI system.
- Privacy First: Your data is used only to provide your specific insights. It is never used to train the global AI models or shared for marketing purposes.
- Non-Medical Advice: AI insights are for self-reflection only and do not constitute a medical diagnosis or professional psychological advice.
3. Health Integration (Apple Health & Android)
If you opt-in, Emotap interacts with your device’s health framework (Apple Health on iOS or Health Connect on Android) to provide a holistic view of your wellbeing.
- Read Access: We read physical activity data (such as steps, sleep, or heart rate) to help our AI analyze how your physical health affects your daily mood.
- Write Access: We may write “Mindful Minutes” or “Mindfulness Sessions” to your health app to record your reflection time in Emotap.
- User Control: You can modify or revoke these permissions at any time within your device’s system settings.
4. Third-Party Services
We use a limited number of trusted partners to keep Emotap running smoothly:
- Supabase: For secure database storage and data synchronization.
- Google Firebase: For secure user authentication and anonymized crash reporting.
- Lovable / LLM Providers: To power the AI mood analysis features.
- UXCam (Optional/Planned): We may use UXCam to analyze app usability. All personal text fields are “occluded,” meaning we can see the app’s flow, but your private writing is completely hidden from us.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
- Retention: Analytical data (like crash reports) is kept for 90 days. Your personal data is kept as long as your account is active to provide you with your history and AI insights.
- Deletion: You have full control. You can delete your account and all associated cloud data directly within the app settings. Once deleted, this data is permanently removed and cannot be undone.
