Simple Summary: Bipolar stores information on your device and, when you use an account, sync and connected features, on our cloud systems. This can include account details and sensitive mood-tracking information. We use it to provide the app, synchronization, insights, notifications and features you choose. We do not sell your personal information or use your health information for advertising.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Mood and mental-health information is sensitive. This policy explains what Bipolar collects, why we use it, where it goes and the choices available to you.

Your information remains yours. We limit its use to operating and improving Bipolar, providing features you request, communicating with you where permitted, protecting the service and complying with legal obligations.

Information We Collect

Account and profile information

If you create an account or profile, we may receive and store a user identifier, name, email address and sign-in provider. Apple or Google may provide this information when you use their sign-in service.

Mood and wellbeing information

The app stores information you enter locally and syncs supported records to our backend when you use an account. This can include:

  • Mood ratings, dates and sleep hours
  • Symptoms, medications and whether medications were taken
  • Custom notes and custom symptoms
  • Bulk logs, deletion status and synchronization identifiers

Subscription and sharing information

We may store subscription status and related transaction identifiers. If you enable supporter sharing, we store the supporter name and email address, sharing schedule and related preferences that you provide.

Analytics, device and notification information

We use Firebase Analytics and Firebase Cloud Messaging. These services may process app interactions, app and device information, notification registration tokens, topic subscriptions and notification delivery or tap events. Notification permission is controlled through iOS settings. Our website also uses Google Analytics.

Email information

If we send account, supporter-sharing or permitted feedback emails, we process the recipient address, delivery information and unsubscribe preference. We retain a suppression record when someone unsubscribes so that we can honor that choice.

How We Use Information

  • Operate accounts and synchronize records across app sessions and devices
  • Display history, charts, summaries and other app features
  • Provide subscription and supporter-sharing features
  • Generate an AI insight when you request one
  • Deliver notifications you have enabled
  • Understand reliability and feature usage through analytics
  • Respond to support requests and send communications where permitted
  • Prevent abuse, secure the service and comply with legal obligations

AI Insights

When you request a personalized AI insight, selected information such as recent mood ratings, sleep, symptoms, date, time, timezone and locale may be sent to OpenAI to generate the response. The current insight request does not intentionally include your name, email address, medication list or free-form notes. AI output may be inaccurate and is not medical advice.

Service Providers and Disclosures

We use service providers to operate Bipolar. Depending on the feature, information may be processed by:

  • Apple and Google for authentication, app distribution and subscriptions
  • Google Firebase for analytics, messaging and notifications
  • Vercel and MongoDB-based cloud services for backend hosting and storage
  • OpenAI for AI insights that you request
  • Resend for email delivery

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy commitments. We may also disclose information when legally required, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transaction with appropriate safeguards. We do not sell personal information and do not provide mood or health information to advertisers.

Storage, Security and International Processing

Information may be stored on your device and on cloud systems operated by us and our service providers. Providers may process information in countries outside your own. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Retention and Your Choices

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes and maintain security. Deleted records may remain for a limited period in backups or deletion logs. Email suppression records may be retained to ensure that an opt-out continues to be honored.

  • You can edit or delete individual mood records and clear synced mood records from the app.
  • Deleting the app removes local app data, but does not by itself delete server records.
  • You can disable notifications in iOS settings.
  • You can unsubscribe using the link in an email.
  • You can request access, correction or deletion of server-held account information by contacting us.

Children's Privacy

Bipolar is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy as the app changes. We will post the updated policy here, change the date above and provide any additional notice required by law.
