Effective date: To be confirmed before public release
Draft updated: September 27, 2026
Overview and age eligibility
Happy Medium™ is a self-guided tracking and reflection app from Happy Medium Apps™ for adults age 18 or older. You confirm your eligibility before using app features. This is a self-attestation, not independent age verification. The app does not request or store your birthdate; it stores your confirmation, its date, and the eligibility-version number locally.
Information stored in the app
The app can store Daily Logs, feelings, behaviors, symptoms, triggers, medications, gratitude entries, and notes. It can also store your Daily Log template, worksheets and tool entries, goals, crisis-plan content, reminders, milestones, preferences, and policy confirmations.
Other local information can include language, theme, notification and App Lock preferences, Trends & Insights settings, onboarding progress, Daily Reflection choices, and technical metadata such as record identifiers, creation and update dates, schema versions, and restoration information. Saved app content is stored locally on your device.
Accounts, cloud services, and AI
The planned first iPhone release has no app account sign-in, cloud backup, cloud synchronization, or subscription purchases. It does not send saved journal, worksheet, crisis-plan, reminder, or note content to Happy Medium Apps, Firebase, RevenueCat, or an AI service.
Trends, summaries, comparisons, and template suggestions use on-device rules, calculations, and included content. AI does not read, analyze, or respond to your saved entries. If optional cloud or paid features are introduced in a later release, this policy will be updated to explain their actual providers and data handling before they become available.
How local information is used
- To display your entries, tools, reminders, milestones, and settings.
- To calculate charts, summaries, and comparisons from information you choose to record.
- To create an export or backup when you request it.
- To remember language, consent, preferences, and onboarding progress.
Notifications and App Lock
Reminders use the device's local-notification system. Depending on your device settings, reminder text may appear on its lock screen. Optional App Lock asks the operating system to authenticate you using Face ID, Touch ID, other supported biometrics, or the device passcode. Happy Medium Apps does not receive or store biometric information. App Lock does not encrypt exported files or replace device security.
Exports, backups, and restoration
You can export Daily Logs as CSV, export worksheets as PDF, and create a complete local JSON backup. A backup can contain sensitive app-managed information, including entries, crisis plans, preferences, templates, reminders, and milestones. Passwords and authentication tokens are excluded from the local backup.
When you export or share a file, the operating system, browser, destination service, or person you choose may receive it. You control where it is stored or sent, and the app's protections no longer apply to that copy. There is no automatic app cloud backup. Restoring a complete JSON backup replaces active app data; the app keeps a local recovery copy of the previous data to support rollback if restoration fails.
Retention and deletion
Local information remains on your device until you delete records, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app. The “Delete all local data” control removes app-managed profile, journal, tool, settings, and internal recovery data and cancels scheduled reminders. Uninstalling or clearing storage can permanently remove information that exists only on that device.
Previously exported or shared files, support emails, information held by external sites, operating-system settings, and App Store records must be managed separately with the relevant location or provider.
Security
Local records rely on your device and operating-system protections. App Lock adds an access control to the app but does not add encryption to stored records or exported files. No storage method is completely secure. The planned first release has no advertising, general app-usage analytics, or third-party behavioral tracking, and Happy Medium Apps does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
App Store and external services
Apple may process information about App Store downloads, updates, and any store transactions under its own privacy notice. Happy Medium Apps does not receive your payment-card number through the app. The app's Resources and Content Sources can link to sites operated by others; those sites and your browser may process technical information under their own policies when you open a link.
Language
The app offers English and Spanish interface text. The Spanish interface translation was generated with AI during development and has not been professionally reviewed, so it may contain errors or unclear wording. That translation process does not send your saved app content to an AI service. The current Privacy Policy and Terms are provided in English.
Support correspondence
If you email us, your email address, message, attachments, and delivery information are processed by email providers and received by Happy Medium Apps. We retain correspondence as reasonably needed to respond, maintain support and security records, resolve disputes, and comply with law. You can ask us to delete it, subject to applicable retention obligations. Please avoid sending Daily Logs, crisis plans, medical details, backup files, or other sensitive content unless it is necessary for your request.
Website information
This website has no account, contact form, advertising, or behavioral analytics. A hosting provider may process technical request information, such as IP address, browser details, requested pages, and access or security logs, to deliver and protect the site. When the site moves to Cloudflare, its processing will be reviewed and this section updated for the final hosting configuration. Email links open your email application; any message you send is handled as described above.
Your choices and requests
You can view, edit where available, export, or delete information stored in the app using its controls. Because the first release does not send that content to Happy Medium Apps, it must be managed on your device. Privacy rights may vary by location. Contact us about information you separately provide to us, such as support correspondence, and we will respond as required by applicable law.
Required disclosures and policy changes
Happy Medium Apps may preserve or disclose information it actually holds, such as support correspondence, when reasonably needed to comply with lawful process, address fraud or security concerns, enforce applicable terms, or protect rights and safety. This does not give us access to content held only on your device.
We may update this policy. Material changes will be identified in the app with an updated effective date and a new request for consent when required.
Medical and emergency notice
Happy Medium does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or mental health condition and does not replace professional care. It is not an emergency-monitoring or crisis-response service. If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. In the U.S., call or text 988 for crisis support.
