We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as it is needed to provide the App's services:
• Account information is retained for as long as your account remains active.
• Mood entries are retained for as long as your account remains active, so that you can view your full history.
• Authentication tokens are retained on your device until you log out or uninstall the App.
• Backup logs and database backups may persist for up to 30 days after deletion, after which they are permanently removed.
• If your account becomes inactive for more than 24 months, we may delete it and its associated data automatically.
5. How to Delete Your Data
You have the right to delete your account and all associated data at any time. To do so:

Once you confirm, the following happens:
