• Messages are only shared when there's a mood match
• All mood data automatically expires after your chosen duration

Your data is stored securely using Firebase and Google Cloud infrastructure. We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We share your mood information only with your connected partner, and only when there's a mutual match. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except:

• With your explicit consent
• As required by law or legal process
