Last updated: June 16, 2026

Mind Games is published by Mindware Consulting, Inc. (“Mindware,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared with service providers, and how you can contact us or request deletion of your data.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the Mind Games mobile application, related support communications, optional account or sync features, and the related website pages we use to support the app.

2. Information We Collect

a. Information you provide or choose to store

  • Gameplay records such as scores, progress, performance history, age-range or profile information used for norms or scoring, and in-app preferences.
  • Optional account information such as your email address, username or nickname, and account identifiers if you create an account or use sync or restore features.
  • Support messages or other information you send to us.

b. Information collected automatically

  • App interactions and usage information, such as screens viewed, features used, session activity, and analytics events.
  • Device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, app version, language, time zone, and similar technical metadata.
  • Identifiers used to operate the app and related services, such as app-instance, installation, device, or other pseudonymous identifiers.
  • Crash logs, stack traces, error reports, and related app state used to identify and fix stability issues.
  • Diagnostics, performance telemetry, and technical information used to maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the app.
  • Configuration and service-delivery data used by remote configuration, messaging, install, authentication, billing, licensing, or analytics services.

c. Advertising, notifications, and purchases

  • Mind Games may show ads in the free version. Advertising providers may receive device or app identifiers and related technical data needed to deliver, measure, or limit advertising.
  • If you enable reminders or notifications, we may store reminder preferences and use push-notification services to deliver those reminders.
  • If you make a purchase or upgrade, the transaction is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not receive your full payment card details, but we may receive purchase or subscription status information needed to provide the paid or ad-free service.

3. How We Use Information

We use personal information and technical data to:

  • provide, operate, and maintain Mind Games;
  • save progress, calculate scores, compare performance against norms, and provide gameplay features;
  • support optional account creation, sign-in, sync, restore, and deletion workflows;
  • show, measure, or limit ads in the free version;
  • monitor app interactions, app stability, crash logs, and diagnostics so we can debug and improve the app;
  • deliver notifications or reminders that you request or enable;
  • verify purchases, subscriptions, licensing, or ad-removal status;
  • protect against abuse, fraud, misuse, and security incidents; and
  • comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. Service Providers and Infrastructure

We use third-party service providers that process information on our behalf to help operate the app. Depending on the features you use, these providers may include Microsoft Azure hosting and Google services such as Firebase Analytics, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Remote Config, Firebase Messaging, Firebase Installations, Crashlytics, Google Play billing or licensing services, and advertising providers such as Google AdMob.

These providers may process app interactions, identifiers, advertising-related technical data, crash logs, diagnostics, configuration data, device metadata, and account-related information as needed to provide their services to us.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information:

  • to service providers that help us run, secure, maintain, analyze, advertise, or support the app;
  • to complete transactions, restore purchases, or provide app functionality you request;
  • to comply with law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request;
  • to protect the rights, safety, and property of Mindware, our users, or others; and
  • in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, or transfer of all or part of our business, subject to applicable law.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the app, maintain account or sync features you request, investigate issues, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Different categories of data may be retained for different periods. For example, local gameplay data may remain on your device until you delete the app or clear the data, while support records, advertising-related technical data, crash logs, and diagnostics may be retained for reasonable periods needed for operations, troubleshooting, legal compliance, and security.

7. Your Choices and Deletion Requests

  • You may be able to delete local app data by uninstalling the app or clearing app storage on your device.
  • If the app offers account deletion or sync deletion features, you may use those in-app tools.
  • You may request deletion of account-linked or server-stored data by contacting us at [email protected].
  • You can manage push notification permissions and, where supported, ad-personalization preferences in your device settings.
