1. Account

Does core mood logging require an account?

Can you make and reopen a basic entry while offline?

3. Storage

Does the policy say where mood entries and notes are stored?

4. Analytics

Are analytics and diagnostic data named separately from mood content?

5. Advertising

Does the policy clearly address advertising trackers and cross-app tracking?

6. Export

Is there a way to export a useful copy of your data?

7. Deletion

Is there a documented way to delete device, account, and sync data?

These counts show what you found in the product, policy, permissions, and your own test. They are not a privacy grade, certification, security audit, or recommendation.

How to use the test

  1. Read the current privacy policy and store disclosure.
  2. Check the app settings, permissions, export, and deletion screens.
  3. Use synthetic data for an airplane-mode test; do not expose a private entry.
  4. Choose “Not clear” when the available wording does not answer the question.
  5. Review the generated card before sharing it.

What this cannot prove

  • Offline logging does not show what happens after the connection returns.
  • A policy answer does not independently verify an implementation.
  • An “unknown” answer is a documentation gap, not proof of harmful behaviour.
  • The same feature may have different privacy trade-offs for different people.

Free one-page version

Print the checklist and keep the answers private

The blank printable contains the same eight neutral questions and works without an account or app install. Use synthetic data for any product test, and do not share a completed sheet containing private mood or journal details.

Preview of five neutral Mood App Privacy Test carousel cards covering access, data flow, controls, and careful interpretation

Share the method, not private answers

Reuse the reviewed social kit

The free pack contains five editable carousel cards, rendered images, caption and alt text. A separate silent 12-second vertical master includes its caption, accessibility copy, and renderer. Both packs use blank or synthetic examples only. They contain no completed checklist answer, mood entry, journal text, health information, app name, or identifying data.

Keep the Vibbrancy affiliation disclosure, use synthetic test data, and do not describe a result as a privacy score, audit, proof, certification, or guarantee. An offline test shows only what happened during that test.

Test one visible behaviour

Try the separate Airplane Mode Day checklist

The free Airplane Mode Day test walks through one brief offline check using fictional data. It records only what you can observe during the test and explains what that result cannot prove.

Embed the neutral checklist

Publishers and community organisers may embed the checklist without copying it. The embedded version contains no store button, accepts no URL answers, sends no checklist response to Vibbrancy, and links back to this scope explanation.

If your publishing platform blocks iframes, link directly to the canonical test page instead.

How Vibbrancy answers the test

We build Vibbrancy. Core mood logging works without an account and while offline, mood entries are stored on your device by default, and the app does not use advertising trackers. Optional account, sync, subscription, diagnostics, and support data are explained separately in the privacy policy. Read that policy and test the product rather than relying on this summary.
