Privacy policy
last updated June 6, 2026
Introduction
This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Bad Days mobile application. By using the app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information we collect
- Journal entries, voice recordings, and mood data: The diary itself, kept on your device unless you enable cloud sync (stored on your device).
- Account information: Only if you choose to sign in with Apple or Google; anonymous use collects no email or name (stored in the cloud).
- Backed-up entries and recordings: Synced only when you turn on cloud backup, so your journal survives a lost phone (stored in the cloud).
We collect nothing beyond what is listed above.
How we use your information
Your information is used only to provide and operate Bad Days and its features, to fix bugs, and to improve performance. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data retention and deletion

Children's privacy
Bad Days is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
