Your privacy and data security are our top priorities

Last updated: 20th July 2025

1. Introduction

At Vervi, we understand that your personal data and wellbeing information are deeply private. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mood journaling and wellness application.

Vervi is developed by GrassiOS, and we are committed to transparency about our data practices. By using Vervi, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

  • Mood Journal Entries: Your daily mood ratings, journal text, and emotional check-ins

Automatically Collected Information

  • Usage Data: How you interact with app features and time spent in different sections
  • Device Information: iOS version, device model, and app version for compatibility
  • Crash Reports: Anonymous technical data to improve app stability

Important:

We do NOT collect your real name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information unless you explicitly provide it for support purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information exclusively to:

  • Provide Core Features: Display your mood trends, grow your virtual garden, and track progress
  • Personalize Experience: Customize the app interface and suggestions based on your preferences
  • Send Notifications: Remind you to journal or celebrate milestones (only if enabled)

We Never:

  • Sell your personal data to third parties
  • Use your mood data for advertising purposes
  • Share your journal entries with anyone
  • Access your data without your explicit consent

4. Data Storage & Security

Local Storage

Your mood journal entries and personal data are primarily stored locally on your device. This means your most sensitive information never leaves your iPhone unless you choose to enable iCloud backup.

iCloud Backup (Coming Soon)

If you enable iCloud backup in your device settings, your Vervi data will be securely synchronized across your Apple devices using Apple's end-to-end encryption. We cannot access data stored in your iCloud backup.

Security Measures

  • All data transmission uses industry-standard TLS encryption
  • Local data is protected by iOS security features including Face ID/Touch ID
  • Regular security audits and updates to protect against vulnerabilities
  • No plain-text storage of sensitive information

5. Third-Party Services

Vervi integrates with the following third-party services:

Apple App Store & In-App Purchases

Subscription billing is handled entirely by Apple. We receive only anonymized transaction confirmations. Apple's privacy policy applies to all payment data.

Apple Analytics (Optional)

Anonymous crash reports and usage analytics may be shared with Apple to help improve app performance. You can disable this in your device settings.

We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy standards. Links to their privacy policies are available upon request.

6. Your Rights & Controls

You have complete control over your data:

Access & Export

You can view, export, or share your mood data directly from within the app at any time.

Delete Your Data

You can delete specific journal entries, clear all data, or delete your entire account from the app settings.

Control Notifications

Customize or disable all app notifications through your device settings or app preferences.

Data Portability

Export your mood data in standard formats (JSON, CSV) to use with other wellness apps.

7. Children's Privacy

Vervi is designed for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately.

For users between 13-17, we recommend parental guidance when using mental health and wellness applications. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. When we make significant changes, we will:

  • Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy
  • Notify you through the app or via email (if you've provided one)
  • Highlight major changes in our next app update notes

Your continued use of Vervi after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
