privacy

we keep your feelings private.

last updated: july 2026

the short version: feelhood requires sign-in to keep your history safe and to prevent fake accounts from distorting the community pulse. we never show your individual feelings to anyone. we collect only what's needed to show you that others feel the same — nothing more.

who runs this

feelhood is an independent project, built and operated from Bengaluru, India. there is no company behind it, no investors and no advertisers — which is a large part of why it can afford to collect so little.

questions, corrections, or anything about your own data? write to hello@feelhood.app and the person who built it will reply, usually within 48 hours. if you need the operator's full legal details for a formal data-protection request, ask and they will be provided.

what happens when you log

when you tap a feeling, here's exactly what moves from your device to our servers:

emotion id → which of the 12 feelings you chose
group → the category (warm / calm / tender / heavy)
timestamp → when you logged it
region id → the city you chose in onboarding (e.g. “in-blr”)

that's it. no device id. no ip address stored. your account id is the only link between entries — and it's never shared or exposed to other users.

what we actually collect

account identity — when you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google.
emotion + group + timestamp — the feeling you logged and when.
region id — the city you chose. we never touch GPS coordinates unless you tap “use my location” during onboarding, and even then we only keep the nearest city — never the coordinates.
optional note — a private text up to 140 characters. visible only to you, never aggregated.
notification token — only if you opt in to reminders. disable anytime in settings.

what we don't collect

GPS coordinates or precise location — never stored.
contacts, camera, microphone, or any sensor data.
advertising identifiers or cross-site trackers.
anything about what you do between visits.

how we use it

to show you how many people nearby share the same feeling — aggregated, never individual.
to power the hood pulse: a live view of collective mood from your city up to the whole world.
to send your reminder, if you opted in.
to show you your own history in the “you” tab — visible only to you.

our anonymity promise

every count you see in the app has a minimum threshold of 5 unique logs before any data is shown. this is called k=5 anonymity — enforced server-side, not a guideline. your individual log is never surfaced to another user. your note is never included in any aggregation.

who else sees your data

nobody, except the services that make the app run:

Supabase — our database and auth provider. their privacy policy.
Vercel — our hosting provider. their privacy policy.
Google — for Google Sign-In. their privacy policy.

we don't sell, rent, or trade your data. we'd share it with law enforcement only if legally required.

keeping and deleting

your logs live as long as your account does. if you delete your account (settings → delete account), all personal data — logs, notes, notification tokens, profile — is permanently deleted. aggregated region counts don't contain personal data and are kept.

your rights

see your data — it's all in the “you” tab.
delete everything — settings → delete account.
change your city — settings → location.
email us — hello@feelhood.app with any data request.

children

feelhood is not for anyone under 13. if you think a child has used the app, contact us and we'll remove their data immediately.

if this policy changes

material changes will be announced in the app or via email before they take effect. the date above always reflects the latest version.
