This privacy policy explains how the MindXory mobile game ("the App"), made by Ferdy ("we", "us"), handles information. The App is free and is offered "as is".
In short
- You don't need an account. We never ask for your email, phone number or real name.
- Your progress, coins and settings are stored only on your device.
- For the online Daily Competition, your player name, avatar and competition score are sent with a random player ID to Unity Gaming Services and shown to other players.
- The App may show ads from Google AdMob, which may collect device information as described below.
- We do not sell your personal information.
Information stored on your device
The App saves the following locally so the game works:
- Game progress (levels, stars, best scores), coins, hints and in-game items such as card skins
- The player name and avatar you choose
- Settings (music, sound, vibration)
- Daily reward and daily competition status
Apart from the Daily Competition below, this data never leaves your device through the App. Deleting the App deletes it.
Daily Competition (Unity Gaming Services)
The Daily Competition lets you compete with other real players. To make this work, the App uses Unity Gaming Services (Unity Authentication and Unity Leaderboards, provided by Unity Technologies) as our service provider:
- When the App starts, it signs you in anonymously. Unity creates a random player ID; no email, phone number or real name is needed.
- When your competition score changes, the App sends your score, the player name and avatar you chose, and the competition period to the leaderboard.
- Your player name, avatar and score are shown to other players in the competition. If you don't set a name, a generic name such as "Player1A2B" is used.
Free seats on the leaderboard are filled with computer-generated players, which are marked differently from real players. Unity also receives technical data needed to provide the service, such as your IP address and device information. See Unity's Privacy Policy.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App may show ads served by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, AdMob may automatically collect:
- Your IP address, device type, operating system and App version
- An advertising identifier (on iOS, the IDFA, only if you allow tracking in Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt)
- How you interact with ads, and diagnostic data
If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown, using Google's consent form. You can choose non-personalized ads and change your choice at any time in the App.
On iOS you can turn off tracking in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings.
Google describes its use of this information in its Privacy Policy and in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
What we don't collect
- No account, email, phone number or contacts
- No precise location
- No access to photos, camera or microphone
- No analytics or tracking tools apart from the advertising and the Daily Competition described above
Sharing
The App's Share button opens your device's standard share sheet. Nothing is sent unless you pick an app and send the message yourself.
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may disclose information if the law requires it.
Children
MindXory is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will help remove it.
Keeping and deleting data
Game data stays on your device until you delete the App. Daily Competition scores are kept on the leaderboard only for the current competition period; older scores are no longer shown. To have your competition data deleted, contact us with your player name and we will remove it. For data collected by Google AdMob, see Google's privacy policy and the device settings above.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, or to object to how it is processed. Contact us with any request and we will reply within 30 days.
Security
Most of your data stays on your device and is protected by the device's own security. Daily Competition data is sent over an encrypted connection. No storage method is completely secure, so we keep the data we handle to a minimum.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
