Privacy Policy

Last updated 2026-10-05

DailyU ("the app") is made by DoodleDesk Private Limited ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the app collects, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. Questions: hello@thedoodledesk.com.

What we collect

Account

  • If you sign in with Apple or Google: your name and email address as provided by that service, and an account ID.
  • If you continue without an account: an anonymous ID only.
  • The display name and avatar you choose in the app.

What you create in the app

  • Safe Talk: the posts, voice letters, replies and reactions you share, and the mood you tag them with. Posts appear under "Anonymous" unless you choose to show your name.
  • Mood check-ins: the mood you choose and when.
  • Favourites and reminders: the affirmations and music you save, and your reminder times.
  • Feedback and reports: messages you send us, and posts or people you report or block.

Device and usage

  • A push-notification token, so we can tell you about replies and reminders.
  • App usage events (for example, which screens you open) and crash reports, to fix bugs and improve the app.
  • If you allow tracking when iOS asks: your device's advertising identifier, used only to see which of our ads or links brought you to DailyU.

Purchases

  • Whether you have an active DailyU Pro subscription. Payments are handled by Apple; we never see your card details.

We do not collect your location, contacts or photos. We don't show ads in the app and we don't sell your data.

AI replies in Safe Talk

If you choose to receive replies in Safe Talk, the text of your post and the mood you selected are sent to Google's Gemini model (through Google Cloud Vertex AI) to write a short, supportive reply. We don't send your name, email or account details. Google processes this data under its Cloud terms and does not use it to train its models. These replies are automated and are not professional or medical advice. You're asked before your first post, and you can change this choice at any time from the Safe Talk "?" screen.

Apple Health

If you allow it, DailyU saves your mood check-ins to Apple Health as State of Mind. DailyU does not read your health data, and Health data is never used for marketing or shared with third parties.

Who we share data with

We use these service providers only to run the app:

  • Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Storage, Cloud Messaging, Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config): Accounts, storing your content, notifications, usage and crash reports
  • Google Cloud Vertex AI (Gemini): Safe Talk AI replies, only if you choose them
  • RevenueCat: Managing your subscription status
  • AppsFlyer: Measuring which ads or links brought people to the app (advertising ID only with your permission)
  • Sentry: Crash and error reports
  • Amazon Web Services (Polly): Reading affirmations aloud (only the affirmation text is sent)
  • Apple: Sign in with Apple, payments, Apple Health

We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect people's safety, or if the company is sold or merged (in which case this policy still applies).

How long we keep it

We keep your data while you have an account. Safe Talk posts stay visible until you delete them or your account. When you delete your account, we delete your profile, your posts and the replies on them, your feedback and your saved data.

Your choices

  • Delete your account in the app: Settings › Delete Account. Or email us and we'll do it for you.
  • Delete any post of yours from its ⋯ menu.
  • Turn off AI replies from the Safe Talk "?" screen.
  • Turn off tracking in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking, and notifications in iOS Settings › Notifications.
  • Ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct it, at hello@thedoodledesk.com.

Children

DailyU is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you think a child has given us data, email us and we'll delete it.

Safety

Safe Talk is a peer-support space, not a crisis service. If you're in danger, use the "Find a helpline" link in the app or call your local emergency number.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for important changes, let you know in the app.
