How We Store Your Data
**All your data is stored locally on your device** using Chrome's built-in storage system. Your data is synchronized across your devices if you're signed into Chrome with sync enabled. However none of this data is stored by us on third-party servers. This is a Chrome feature and thus subject to Chrome and Alphabet Inc.'s data policies.
We do not have access to your data. We do not collect, store, or transmit your mood tracking information to any external servers.
Third-Party Services
License Verification (PRO Users Only)
When you activate a PRO license, we verify your license key through Payhip.com's API. This involves:

- Receiving your buyer email address to confirm the purchase
- This is a one-time verification process and not repeated.
We do not store or have access to any payment information. All payment processing is handled securely by Payhip. We do not correlate your purchased PRO license with any mood data as it is stored locally.
