1. Introduction
At WiseMind, we believe your mental health journey is deeply personal. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our DBT skills training application.
We've designed WiseMind with privacy as a core principle. Your most sensitive data — including your journal entries and S.O.S. lists — stays on your device by default, giving you complete control over your personal information.
2. Information We Collect
Information Stored Locally (On Your Device)
By default, the following data is stored only on your device. We cannot access, view, or retrieve this information unless you explicitly enable cloud synchronization:
- Journal Entries: All thoughts, reflections, and personal entries you create
- S.O.S. Lists: Your personalized coping strategies and emergency contact information
- Progress Data: Your skill practice history and personal notes
- Custom Settings: Your app preferences and personalization choices
Information We May Collect
When you use certain features of WiseMind, we may collect:
| Data Type | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Account Information | To create your account (if you choose cloud sync) | Our servers |
| Email Address | Account recovery and important updates | Our servers |
| Usage Analytics | To improve app performance (anonymized) | Analytics provider |
| Crash Reports | To fix bugs and improve stability | Error tracking service |
3. Cloud Synchronization — Your Choice
We understand that some users want to access their data across multiple devices or keep a secure backup. That's why we offer optional cloud synchronization.
Cloud sync is entirely optional. You can enable or disable it at any time from your Profile Settings.
When cloud sync is enabled, your journals and S.O.S. lists are stored on our servers, allowing you to access them from any device where you're logged in.
What Happens When You Enable Cloud Sync
- Your journal entries and S.O.S. lists are uploaded to our servers
- You can access your data across all your devices
- Your data is automatically backed up
What Happens When You Disable Cloud Sync
- New entries are stored only on your device
- Previously synced data can be deleted from our servers upon request
- Local data on your device remains unaffected
- You can re-enable sync at any time
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain the WiseMind application
