Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026

Mind Detective ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Mind Detective mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the App.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Account information: email address and password (stored in hashed form) when you create an account.
• Game data: game sessions, messages sent during gameplay, guesses, scores, and progress within enigmas.
• Usage data: app interactions, language preferences, and technical logs such as device type and approximate timestamps.
• Communications: messages you exchange with in-game characters, which may be processed by AI services to generate responses.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the App and game experience.
• Authenticate your account and secure access to your data.
• Generate AI-powered character responses during gameplay.
• Evaluate your guesses and track session outcomes.
• Improve the App, fix bugs, and develop new features.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

3. AI Processing

Game messages may be sent to third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI or compatible services) to generate in-character replies and evaluate your identity guesses. These providers process data according to their own privacy policies. We do not use your conversations to train public AI models unless explicitly disclosed and consented to.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Service providers: hosting, database, cloud storage, and AI providers that help us operate the App.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and users' safety.

5. Data Retention

We retain account and game data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

6. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and hashed passwords. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us to exercise these rights.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place when data is transferred internationally.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
