Mochi Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-29

Mochi is a daily 2-second video-log app for small groups of close friends. This policy describes what Mochi collects, how it is stored, and what control you have over your data. We try to keep this short and honest.

What Mochi collects

Phone number — used to sign you in. We do not send marketing SMS and we do not share your number with anyone.
Nickname — the display name you choose for yourself and the optional fields (age band, school) you fill in on your profile.
Video clips you record and upload (the 2-second mochi clips and the stitched daily batch).
Chat messages and direct messages you send inside a Mochi group.
Photos you attach to chat or DMs.
Push notification token (if you grant push permission) so we can send reminders during your chosen window.
Approximate location — if you grant location permission, your device location is used to determine your country and time zone, which tag your clips with a country flag and your local time. We store only the country and time zone, never your precise coordinates.

How it is stored

Your data is stored on Mochi's own servers. We do not sell it. We do not share it with third-party advertisers. We do not embed third-party tracking pixels or analytics SDKs that profile you.

Who can see your content

Clips and chat messages posted in a group are visible to the members of that group only.
Direct messages are visible only to the recipients you select.
Your personal "your mochi" room is private to you.

User-Generated Content Policy

Zero tolerance. Mochi has zero tolerance for objectionable content, harassment, or impersonation. Content or behavior that violates our policy is removed. Repeat or severe offenders are permanently banned.

Everything you post on Mochi — clips, captions, photos, chat messages, direct messages, nicknames, avatars — is "user-generated content" (UGC). You are responsible for the content you upload. By using Mochi you agree to our End-User License Agreement (EULA), which forbids:

Sexually explicit, violent, or graphic content.
Harassment, threats, bullying, hate speech, or doxxing.
Spam, scams, phishing, or impersonation.
Content that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, or privacy.
Content that is illegal in the jurisdiction where you or the recipient is located.

How to report violating content

Every clip, chat message, direct message, and user profile in Mochi has a Report action in the ··· menu. You can also email us at support@mochilog.app with a screenshot and a short description.

Reports are reviewed by a human moderator and acted upon within 24 hours. Actions we can take include removing the offending content, warning the user, or banning the user. We use community reports + manual review today, and we may add automated moderation in future updates.

How to block another user

Open any clip, message, or user profile, tap the ··· menu, and choose Block. Once blocked, you will not see their clips or messages and they will not see yours, in any group you share.

Deleting your account

You can delete your Mochi account from inside the app at any time (profile menu → delete account). When you do, your account record, clips, chat messages, and DMs are removed from our servers.

Children

Mochi is intended for users 14 and older. We ask for an age band on sign-up; please do not use Mochi if you are younger than that.

Permissions Mochi requests on your device

Camera — to record your daily 2-second clip.
Microphone — so your clips have sound.
Photo library — only when you choose to save a clip or daily batch to your phone.
Location (while using the app) — optional; used to tag your clips with your country flag and local time. Deny it and your clips simply won't show a flag.
Notifications — optional; used for the reminder window you configure inside the app.
