Privacy Policy for Storymood
Effective date: July 2026
Storymood (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is a social app for sharing shayari, quotes, status and written feelings in multiple languages. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By creating an account or using Storymood, you agree to this Policy.
1. Information We Collect
a) Account information. When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile photo to create and secure your account.
b) Content you create. Posts (shayari, quotes, text), images you create or upload, comments, likes, follows and saved (bookmarked) posts. This content is stored so the app can display it.
c) Automatically collected data. Basic device and usage information (device model, operating system, app version, language, crash logs and in-app activity) collected through Google Firebase Analytics to keep the app working and improve it.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To create your account and let you sign in.
- To publish and display your posts, profile and interactions to other users.
- To operate core features (feed, likes, comments, follow, bookmarks, image creation).
- To keep the community safe and enforce our content rules.
- To analyse usage, fix bugs and improve the app.
- To send you app notifications you have enabled.
3. How Your Information Is Shared
a) With other users. Storymood is a public social platform. Your display name, profile photo, and the posts and comments you publish are visible to other users.
b) Publicly on the web. When a post is shared out of the
app, it is published at a public web address such as
storymood.in/p/…. That page shows the post and the display name of
its author, can be opened by anyone with the link, and may be indexed by search
engines. Only posts approved by moderation are published this way. Deleting a
post removes its page.
c) With service providers. We use Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage and Analytics) and Google Sign-In to run the app. These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy policies.
d) For legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety, rights or property of our users or the public.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
4. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored on Google Cloud / Firebase servers and is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS/TLS) connections. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. User-Generated Content & Community Rules
Storymood is a community platform. You are responsible for the content you post. The following are not allowed:
- Abusive, hateful, violent or discriminatory content.
- Explicit, sexual or otherwise inappropriate material.
- Spam, harassment, or infringing someone else’s copyright.
Every post can be reported using the “Report” option. We review reports and may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules. We aim to act on objectionable content promptly.
6. Your Rights & Choices
- Access & edit: You can view and edit your profile and your posts at any time in the app.
- Delete content: You can delete your individual posts.
- Delete account: You can permanently delete your account and associated data using “Delete Account” in Profile settings. See Delete your account.
- Notifications: You can turn app notifications on or off in your device settings.
7. Data Retention & Deletion
We keep your information for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, your profile and personal data are permanently removed from our systems. Some information may remain in backups or logs for a limited period, or where retention is required by law.
8. Children’s Privacy
Storymood is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use of Storymood after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
