Privacy Policy

Effective 2 August 2026

CrowdMind is a daily social-prediction game operated by Anvicit. This policy explains what the iPhone app sends off your device and why.

Data we collect

• Account: the stable identifier supplied by Apple or Google, your chosen handle, time zone, and notification preferences. We never receive or store your password.
• Gameplay: your answers, crowd-split predictions, scores, streak, and leaderboard history.
• Notifications: an Apple Push Notification token when you grant push permission.
• Feedback: text you deliberately submit through Send Feedback, together with the app version.
• Advertising SDK data: if advertising is enabled and your consent permits a request, Google Mobile Ads may process IP-derived coarse location, device identifiers, ad interactions, performance data, and diagnostics. CrowdMind requests non-personalized ads, disables publisher first-party ID, and does not request App Tracking Transparency permission.

How we use it

We use account and gameplay data to run the game, calculate results and streaks, show leaderboards, deliver notifications you enabled, prevent abuse, provide support, and improve the product. We do not sell personal data.

Service providers

We use Apple and Google for sign-in, Apple for push delivery, OVH-hosted infrastructure for the CrowdMind API and database, and Google AdMob/UMP for consented advertising. Each provider processes data under its own terms and privacy policy.

Retention and deletion

Gameplay data is kept while your account exists. Beta feedback remains linked to your account. You can permanently delete the account in Profile → Settings → Delete account; the account, gameplay history, push token, and feedback are deleted together. Verified database backups expire after 14 days, so deletion can remain in encrypted operational backups until they rotate out.

Your choices

You can change notification categories in Settings, deny system notification permission, revisit ad privacy choices where required, save share cards only when you choose, sign out, or delete the account. CrowdMind does not request access to your photo library; it requests add-only permission when you explicitly save a card.

Security and children

Traffic uses HTTPS, authentication tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain, and production secrets are not bundled in the app. CrowdMind is not directed to children under 13.
