Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Bloom lets you log a daily mood using Apple's State of Mind UI: a valence slider from −1 (very unpleasant) to +1 (very pleasant), and a set of emotion labels drawn from Apple's clinical taxonomy (Happy, Sad, Angry, Anxious, Calm, and so on). Each entry is written as an HKStateOfMind sample to Apple Health, AND a copy is saved as a Pink Bloom journal entry on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs that contact a server. The only network calls the app makes are to Apple's StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier.

Who we are

Pink Bloom is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password — the app has no signup.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No microphone, no camera. Pink Bloom never opens the camera or records audio.
• No Photos library access, no location, no contacts, no calendar.
• No Health data beyond HKStateOfMind. Pink Bloom cannot read or write any other Health category.

HealthKit permissions

Pink Bloom requests two HealthKit usage descriptions:

• NSHealthShareUsageDescription — so Pink Bloom can read back only the State of Mind samples that Pink Bloom itself previously wrote, in order to show you your own past entries inside the app.
• NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription — so Pink Bloom can write each new bloom you log as an HKStateOfMind sample into Apple Health.

Pink Bloom does not request access to any other Health category (no steps, no heart rate, no sleep, no workouts). You can review or revoke either permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Pink Bloom.

Because each entry is written to Apple Health, you remain fully in control: the standard Health app lets you view, export, or delete any Pink Bloom-written sample independently of the Pink Bloom app itself.

What stays on your device

• Your bloom entries (the valence value you picked, the emotion labels you tapped from Apple's clinical taxonomy, an optional one-line note, the corresponding HealthKit sample identifier, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData, with the canonical sample living in Apple Health.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• Whether the day-three gift screen has been acknowledged.

All Pink Bloom-controlled data lives on your device and never leaves it. The State of Mind samples in Apple Health follow Apple's standard Health privacy rules, including end-to-end encrypted iCloud sync when you have that enabled in iOS Settings. Pink Bloom does not run its own cloud sync.

Uninstalling the app deletes everything Pink Bloom has stored locally. The State of Mind samples Pink Bloom wrote to Apple Health remain in Health unless you delete them there.

Mood taxonomy is Apple's, not ours

The emotion labels you see in the logging UI (Happy, Sad, Angry, Anxious, Calm, and so on) are Apple's clinical State of Mind taxonomy as exposed through HealthKit. Pink Bloom does not invent or rename mood categories, and does not map them to any proprietary scoring system. The valence axis from −1 to +1 is the standard HKStateOfMind.Valence range.

Lock Screen widget

Pink Bloom Pro includes a Lock Screen widget that shows the number of blooms logged today. The widget reads only the count and the timestamp of the most recent entry from an App Group container on your device. No valence value, no emotion labels, and no note text are rendered on the Lock Screen, and nothing is sent off the device for the widget to function.

In-app purchases

If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment and shares only the receipt with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Apple's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by iOS and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Family Sharing

Pink Bloom Pro purchases (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime) are Family-Shareable through Apple's standard Family Sharing mechanism. Apple handles eligibility checks; we do not see who is in your family group.

Children

Pink Bloom is rated 4+ in the App Store. Because the app collects no data at all and writes only to Apple Health on your device, it complies with COPPA and similar children's-privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Bloom does not collect data on any server, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke HealthKit access, use iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Pink Bloom. To delete the State of Mind samples Pink Bloom wrote, open the Health app and remove them there. To remove all on-device state, delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device (for example, our own cloud sync or sharing), this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists.
