Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026

1. Who we are

Loving The Gift ("we", "us", "our") is a free mental health and spiritual wellbeing application. We are not a medical provider. Our app is operated as a personal project to support people navigating mental health challenges.

2. What data we collect

  • Account data: first name, last name, email address, and a hashed password when you register.
  • Journal entries: text you write in the journal, including mood ratings and dates.
  • Mood logs: daily mood scores you record in the mood tracker.
  • Profile media: images you choose to upload to your profile gallery.
  • Session data: a secure session token stored in an httpOnly cookie to keep you logged in.
  • Chat messages: messages you send in the AI chat are processed to generate a response but are not stored permanently.

3. How we use your data

  • To provide and personalise the app features (journal, mood tracker, profile).
  • To keep you securely logged in across sessions.
  • We do not sell your data to third parties.
  • We do not use your data for advertising.
  • We do not share your journal or mood data with anyone.

4. Data storage and security

Your data is stored in a secure database. Passwords are never stored in plain text — they are hashed using PBKDF2 before storage. Session tokens are stored in httpOnly cookies, which are not accessible to JavaScript and help prevent cross-site scripting attacks.

5. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request deletion of your account and all associated data.
  • Export your journal entries at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via our YouTube channel at youtube.com/@natnollid.

6. Cookies

We use a single httpOnly session cookie to keep you logged in. We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies.

7. Children

This app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has registered, please contact us and we will delete the account promptly.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
