privacy policy

• we collect the bare minimum to run a gang: your account, your clips, and who you share them with.
• we never sell your data. there are no ads in mochi, in any tier, ever.
• your clips are only visible to the gangs you post them to — and your day-log is visible to you alone.
• you can export or delete everything, any time, from settings.

things you give us

• account basics — a phone number or email to sign in, a display name, and your mochi flavor (the little color that's you).
• your mochis — the 2-second clips you roll, plus any comment you attach to them.
• your gangs — the groups you create or join, and the friends in them.
• room activity — likes you give, and clips you quote into a room chat.

things we collect automatically

• device & app info — device type, OS version, app version, and crash logs, so we can keep mochi from breaking.
• basic usage — when you open the app and whether a clip sent successfully. we use this only to run the service.

we use your data for exactly four things:

• to deliver your mochis to the right gang room and your day-log.
• to keep the app working — sign-in, notifications when a friend rolls a clip, and fixing crashes.
• to keep mochi safe — preventing spam, abuse, and unauthorized access.
• to talk to you — occasional service messages (never marketing spam).

we don't profile you, we don't build an ad graph, and we don't train models on your private clips.

this is the part that matters most, so here it is plainly:

mochi has no public feed, no algorithm, and no way for strangers to find your clips. gangs are invite-only.

we don't sell or rent your personal data. full stop. we share data only with:

• service providers who help us run mochi (cloud hosting, video storage, push notifications) — bound by contract to protect your data and use it only for us.
• legal requests — if required by valid law, and only the minimum necessary. we'll tell you unless legally barred.
• a business transfer — if mochi is ever acquired, we'll notify you before your data moves, and this policy travels with it.

• your day-log archive — kept for 30 days on the free plan (longer on paid tiers, when they launch).
• gang clips — kept as long as the gang exists and you're a member.
• account info — kept while your account is active.

when you delete a clip, a gang, or your whole account, we remove it from active systems promptly and purge backups on a rolling 30-day cycle.

from settings → privacy you can, at any time:

• export your clips and day-log as video files;
• delete any clip, leave any gang, or delete your account entirely;
• turn notifications on or off;
• request a copy of the data we hold about you.

depending on where you live (e.g. the EU/UK or California), you may have additional rights to access, correct, or restrict processing. email us and we'll honor them.

mochi is built for ages 13 and up (16+ where local law requires). we don't knowingly collect data from children under that age. if you believe a child has signed up, contact us and we'll remove the account.

mochi is made by a small team across Seoul and Brooklyn, and your data may be processed in those regions and wherever our cloud providers operate. when we move data across borders, we use recognized safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to keep it protected.

if we make a meaningful change, we'll update the date at the top and let you know in the app before it takes effect. we won't quietly expand what we collect.
