Bubble Thoughts privacy policy
The short version
Bubble Thoughts does not collect your data. Everything you put into the app stays on your iPhone. There is no account, no server, no advertising and no tracking, and JengaWorx never sees your thoughts or moods.
Who we are
Bubble Thoughts is made by JengaWorx, the app studio of Johan Beukman, an individual developer in South Africa. You can contact us at jengaworx@gmail.com.
What the app keeps, and where
The app saves the following only on your iPhone, in storage that belongs to the app:
- your bubbles: the mood colour, how strong the feeling was, the date and time, and any words you add;
- your favourite and your own positive thoughts;
- your settings, such as looks, sounds, reminder times and the Face ID lock.
None of this is sent to JengaWorx or to anyone else. We have no server that receives it.
Widgets
To show your widgets, the app shares a small summary (for example the positive thought of the day and your recent mood colours) with the Bubble Thoughts widgets through a private storage area on your iPhone. It does not leave your device.
Face ID and passcode lock
If you turn on the lock, iOS checks your face or passcode. The app only learns whether unlocking succeeded. It never receives your face data or your passcode.
Reminders
Daily reminders are scheduled on your iPhone as local notifications. No reminder information is sent anywhere.
Purchases
Bubble Thoughts Plus is a one-time purchase made through Apple’s App Store. Apple handles the payment and your Apple Account. We do not receive your name, email address or payment details.
No tracking, ads or analytics
The app contains no advertising, no analytics or tracking tools and no third-party code that collects data. It does not track you across other apps or websites.
If you have chosen in your iPhone’s settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may give us anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. You can change this at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
Backups
If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or to a computer, your Bubble Thoughts data is included in that backup, like other apps’ data. Those backups are handled by Apple or your computer and are protected by your own account. JengaWorx cannot access them.
Links to other services
The app’s “Need to talk to someone?” screen links to independent helplines and to Find A Helpline. If you call or open one of them, you leave the app and that service’s own privacy terms apply.
Emailing us
If you email us for support, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to answer you, and we do not share it or add you to any list.
Deleting your data
- Open a bubble and pop it to remove it.
- Remove example bubbles in Settings › Clear sample thoughts.
- Deleting the app removes all of its data from your iPhone. Older iPhone backups may still hold a copy until they are replaced.
Children
The app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Your rights
Because we do not hold personal information about you from the app, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete: your data stays under your control on your iPhone. If you have emailed us and want that correspondence deleted, ask us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its date. If a future version of the app ever collects data, we will update this policy and the app’s App Store privacy details before that version is released.
