Privacy Policy for Risa Apps products — VeggieMate, MoodMints & Cria.
Who we are
Risa Apps is an indie app studio that develops mobile applications including VeggieMate (a cooking and meal planning assistant), MoodMints (a wellbeing and mood journaling app), and Cria (a collaborative decision‑making and project app for couples, families, and small teams). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data across all Risa Apps products unless a product‑specific policy is provided.
Information we collect
2.0 — MoodMints additional data
MoodMints collects additional information to support mood tracking, journaling, and personalization features:
- Mood entries (your selected mood level for the day)
- Reflection text you voluntarily add
- Bonus prompts completed (IDs only, not prompt content)
- Theme selections
- Rewarded‑ad usage data (e.g., bonus prompt unlocked)
All MoodMints journaling data is stored in Firebase Firestore and associated with your user account. None of your reflection content is used for advertising or model training.
2.1 — Information you provide directly
- Name and email address when you sign in with Google, Apple, or email. If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may provide a private relay email address instead of your real one.
- Content you create in the apps (for example, projects, decisions, tasks, notes, and images you upload in Cria).
- Feedback or messages you send to us.
2.2 — Automatically collected data
Analytics & app usage (Firebase Analytics): screens viewed, app interactions and feature usage, session duration and frequency, device information (model, OS version, language).
Crash reporting (Firebase Crashlytics): crash logs, device state at the time of the crash, app version and operating system information.
Performance monitoring (Firebase Performance): app launch time, network request performance, responsiveness and rendering performance.
Advertising data (Google AdMob): if you allow tracking via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, device identifiers (such as IDFA), approximate coarse location, and ad interaction and impression data. In MoodMints, rewarded ads may be shown to unlock bonus prompts — these are optional and do not access your mood journal entries. If you do not allow tracking, only non‑personalized ads are shown.
Subscription & purchase information (RevenueCat): subscription status, purchase history (non‑personal information), anonymous app user ID generated by RevenueCat. Payment information is handled exclusively by Apple and never processed by us.
App content & settings (stored locally on your device): saved recipes, pantry items, meal plans (VeggieMate); mood entries and daily reflections (MoodMints); app preferences and theme selections. If cloud sync is enabled, this information is stored in Firebase Firestore.
2.3 — Cria additional data
Cria requires an account and stores your data in the cloud so your projects are available across your devices and to the people you collaborate with. Cria collects and stores:
- Account details — your display name and the email address associated with your sign‑in method (Apple, Google, or email).
- Project content — projects you create (names, deadlines, notes), the decisions and options you add, the tasks you create, and any cover or option images you upload.
- Collaboration data — project invite codes, who is a member of which project, and the assignment of decisions and tasks between members.
- Notification tokens — a device push token (Firebase Cloud Messaging) used to notify you and your collaborators about decisions and tasks. You can disable notifications in your device settings.
- Purchase entitlements — your one‑time purchase status, managed through RevenueCat and the App Store / Google Play.
Collaboration means sharing. When you create a project and invite others, or join a project using an invite code, your display name and the content of that shared project (decisions, options, tasks, and images) become visible to the other members of that project. Only share projects with people you trust.
Cria is a paid, one‑time‑purchase app. Cria does not show ads, does not use advertising identifiers (such as IDFA), and does not request App Tracking Transparency permission for advertising. Cria also does not use your project content to train AI models.
How we use your data
- Provide and maintain app functionality.
- Enable secure login via Google.
- Sync your recipes, pantry, and meal plans across devices.
- Verify subscription status and entitlements.
- Show ads and manage ad preferences.
- Improve app performance, reliability, and features.
- Diagnose crashes and technical issues.
- Provide personalized MoodMints experiences such as mood history, streaks, and reflections.
- In Cria: enable required sign‑in; store and sync your projects, decisions, and tasks; share your name and shared‑project content with the collaborators you invite or join; send decision and task notifications; and verify your one‑time purchase.
What we don't do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not share personal data with advertisers.
- We do not collect or store your payment information.
- We do not track you across other companies' apps without permission.
- We do not use your reflections or mood entries to train AI models or for advertising targeting.
Tracking and consent
Risa Apps products may request permission to track activity across apps and websites for advertising purposes. If you allow tracking, AdMob may use your device ID (IDFA). If you decline, only non‑personalized ads will be shown. You can change this decision anytime in iOS Settings → Privacy → Tracking.
This applies only to our ad‑supported apps. Cria contains no advertising and performs no cross‑app tracking, so it does not show the App Tracking Transparency prompt for advertising.
Data storage and security
Local data remains on your device until you delete the app. Cloud data, if enabled, is stored securely in Google Firebase. Subscription and purchase data is managed by RevenueCat and Apple. MoodMints journaling data is encrypted in transit and securely stored in Firestore, associated only with your user ID. Cria's account, project, and collaboration data is stored in Firebase Firestore, and images you upload are stored in Firebase Cloud Storage; all are encrypted in transit and associated with your account.
Your rights and choices
Account deletion
You can delete your account at any time using the in‑app option in VeggieMate or MoodMints. Deleting your account permanently removes cloud‑stored data including recipes, meal plans, mood entries, and reflections. Local data is removed when you uninstall the apps.
For Cria, you can delete your account and associated data — including your projects, decisions, tasks, and uploaded images — from within the app (Preferences → Delete account) or by request. See Delete your Cria account for full details. Please note that content you shared into a project you do not own (for example, decisions or tasks within a project created by someone else) may remain visible to that project's other members.
Data rights for EU/EEA users
Under GDPR and Digital Services Act guidelines, you have the right to:
- Access your data
- Correct your data
- Delete your data
- Export your data
- Withdraw consent for tracking
- Object to personalized advertising
You may contact us to exercise these rights.

Cookies policy
Risa Apps products may use cookies or similar technologies on our website (hellorisa.app) to improve your browsing experience. Our mobile applications (VeggieMate and MoodMints) do not use traditional browser cookies, but certain third‑party services integrated into the apps may use similar identifiers for analytics, crash reporting, and advertising.
9.1 — Cookies on our website
- Essential cookies – required for site functionality.
- Analytics cookies – to measure site traffic and performance (e.g., Google Analytics).
- Preference cookies – to remember user settings such as theme.
9.2 — Identifiers in mobile apps
- Firebase Analytics – anonymous app usage identifiers
- Firebase Crashlytics – crash session identifiers
- Google AdMob – advertising identifiers (IDFA / Android Ad ID) when permission is granted
- RevenueCat – anonymous user identifier for subscription tracking
9.3 — Managing cookies & tracking
You may control or disable cookies and tracking identifiers using your browser's cookie settings, your device settings for tracking permissions (iOS: Privacy → Tracking), and your device settings for ad personalization. Disabling these may limit certain features but will not prevent you from using the core functionality of VeggieMate or MoodMints.
