When purchasing our product or service, using our cloud service, browsing our website or subscribing to our newsletter, certain information is collected.

The app and cloud software may automatically download and install updates and upgrades from time to time without further notice to you. These updates are designed to technically improve and/or enhance the Moodmetric Service. You agree that we may automatically deliver such updates and upgrades to you as part of your use of the Moodmetric Service.

Measurement data
The Moodmetric smart ring measures electrodermal activity and movement. Parameters calculated from these measurements are stored in the Moodmetric mobile app.
The Moodmetric smart ring and smartphone app combined provide you with measurement data to assess your well-being in terms of stress levels. We do not access your measurement data unless you login to the Moodmetric cloud service. Login to the cloud service is completely voluntary. It gives you the possibility to store your data (e.g. in case you lose your phone), and to easily review your data history.

We can make an exception, with your expressed consent, in a case where you wish to share your measurement data with a third party, such as a healthcare provider.
