# Export Your Data
> How to download a copy of your stash, orders, reports, and other personal data from High IQ.
**Planned Feature** -- Data export is designed but not yet available in the current app version. This page describes the intended design and will be updated when the feature ships.
## Overview
High IQ lets you export your personal data at any time. You can download your stash inventory, order history, consumption sessions, reports, and favorites in standard formats. This is useful for personal record-keeping, migrating data, or simply having a backup of your cannabis tracking history.
## What Can You Export
The following data categories are available for export:
| Data Category | Contents | Format |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ |
| **Stash** | All strains in your stash with quantities, prices, ratings, notes, dispensary info | CSV |
| **Orders** | Purchase history with dates, items, amounts, and dispensary details | CSV |
| **Sessions** | Consumption logs with dates, strains, methods, dosages, and effect notes | CSV |
| **Reports** | AI-generated reports and insights | PDF |
| **Favorites** | Bookmarked strain list with names and IDs | CSV |
| **Profile** | Account information, preferences, and settings | JSON |
## How to Export Your Data
From the Dashboard, tap your **avatar** or **profile icon** in the top-right corner to open your profile.
Scroll down and tap **Data & Privacy** in the settings section.
On the Data & Privacy screen, tap **Export My Data**. You will see a list of data categories available for export.
Choose which categories you want to include. You can select individual categories or tap **Select All** to export everything.
Select your preferred format:
* **CSV** — Spreadsheet-compatible format, good for opening in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers
* **JSON** — Structured data format, useful for developers or data analysis tools
Tap **Export**. The app prepares your data and generates a downloadable file. Depending on how much data you have, this may take a few seconds.
Once the export is ready, the iOS share sheet opens. You can:
* Save to **Files** (iCloud Drive, On My iPhone)
* Send via **AirDrop**, **Messages**, or **Email**
* Save to a cloud service like **Dropbox** or **Google Drive**
Export your data periodically as a personal backup. If you ever switch devices or need to reference historical data, having a local copy is invaluable.
## Understanding Your Export
### CSV Files
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files can be opened in any spreadsheet application. Each row represents one record, and columns represent different data fields.
Example stash export structure:
| Column | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `strain_name` | Name of the strain |
| `quantity` | Amount in your stash |
| `unit` | Measurement unit (g, oz) |
| `purchase_price` | What you paid |
| `dispensary` | Where you purchased it |
| `rating` | Your personal rating (1-5) |
| `date_added` | When you added it to your stash |
| `notes` | Your personal notes |
| `high_family` | High Families classification |
| `thc_percent` | THC percentage |
| `cbd_percent` | CBD percentage |
### JSON Files
JSON exports contain the same data in a structured format suitable for programmatic use:
```json theme={null}
{
"exported_at": "2026-02-16T12:00:00Z",
"user": {
"display_name": "Your Name",
"account_created": "2025-11-01T00:00:00Z"
},
"stash": [
{
"strain_name": "Blue Dream",
"quantity": 3.5,
"unit": "g",
"purchase_price": 45.00,
"rating": 4,
"high_family": "Create"
}
]
}
```
## Export Limitations
* Exports include data as of the moment you trigger the export. Any changes made after the export will not be reflected in the downloaded file.
* AI-generated report exports include the final text content but not the real-time streaming animation.
* Scan history exports include extracted data but not the original label images (images are never stored).
## Using Exported Data
Some common use cases for exported data:
* **Personal records** — Keep a local backup of your cannabis history
* **Spreadsheet analysis** — Open CSV files in Excel or Google Sheets for custom analysis
* **Tax tracking** — Use order and spending data for financial record-keeping where applicable
* **Sharing with a physician** — Provide consumption data to a medical professional in a structured format
* **Account migration** — If you need to recreate your account, exported data helps you restore your history
Exported files may contain personal information including purchase history and consumption patterns. Store them securely and be mindful of who you share them with.
## Troubleshooting
Large accounts with extensive order histories may take longer to compile. Keep the app open and wait for the share sheet to appear. If it takes more than 60 seconds, close and retry.
Make sure you are opening the file with a spreadsheet application (Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets) rather than a plain text editor. If special characters appear incorrectly, ensure your spreadsheet app is set to UTF-8 encoding.
Verify that you selected all desired categories before exporting. Each category (stash, orders, sessions, etc.) must be explicitly selected.
