Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 14, 2026
Summary
CoolThoughts is a self-guided wellness tool. We designed it to minimize data collection. Please do not submit personally identifiable information (PII), health records, or confidential data. The app is not a medical device and is not intended for emergencies.
What we collect
- User inputs: triggers, reactions, beliefs, and reframes you enter to complete the flow.
- Usage data: basic analytics about feature usage and performance (for example, screen views or crash reports).
- Device data: OS version, device model, and diagnostic logs to keep the app stable.
What we do not want
- Do not include your full name, address, phone number, or account numbers.
- Do not include medical records, diagnoses, or therapy notes.
- Do not include passwords, security codes, or other sensitive credentials.
How we use data
- To deliver the CBT reframe flow and Thought Vault features.
- To maintain, debug, and improve app reliability.
- To respond if you submit a support or bug report.
AI processing
CoolThoughts uses third-party AI providers to generate insights and options. Your inputs are sent to these providers to fulfill the request. We do not review or analyze your content unless you report a bug and choose to share details, but upstream AI providers may process or retain data for safety, quality, or policy enforcement according to their terms. If you do not want your content processed by AI providers, do not use the app.
Storage and retention
The free tier stores data locally on your device. Deleting the app removes local data. If you enable cloud sync in a future version, your data may be stored in the cloud until you delete it or request deletion.
Sharing
We do not sell your data. We share data only with service providers needed to operate the app (such as AI providers, analytics, and infrastructure), and only for the purposes described in this policy.
Security
We use reasonable security measures to protect data. No system is perfectly secure, and you use the app at your own risk.
Children's privacy
CoolThoughts is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Your choices
- Delete the app to remove locally stored data.
- Do not submit sensitive or personally identifiable information.
- Contact support to request access or deletion of data you shared with support.
