Privacy Policy for Mind Forge

Effective Date: April 10, 2026

This privacy policy governs your use of the software application "Mind Forge" ("Application") for mobile devices. The Application is a comprehensive offline cognitive training app with structured daily missions.

1. Data Collection and Usage

Offline Structure: Mind Forge is designed to operate completely offline. We prioritize your privacy above all else.

Local Storage: Any data collected by the Application (including puzzle scores, daily streaks, settings, app history, and cognitive phase results) is stored locally on your device using an internal database. We do not transmit, sync, or upload your personal cognitive data or activity to any external server or cloud service.

2. Third-Party Services and Advertising

While your cognitive data and app progress remain strictly offline, our Application uses third-party advertising services, specifically Google AdMob, to display interstitial ads. Because of this:

• The app requires an active internet connection to load and serve ads.
• AdMob may collect and use certain data, including your device's Advertising ID, network state, and general usage metadata to provide personalized or non-personalized advertisements.
• For more information on how Google uses this data, please refer to the Google Ad Technologies Privacy Policy.

3. Device Permissions

The Application may request the following permissions to function correctly:

• Internet & Network State: Required exclusively to load third-party advertisements via AdMob.
• Notifications: To provide daily mission reminders. You can opt-out of these notifications at any time via your device settings.

4. Children's Privacy

We do not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should delete the application from the device, which will immediately purge all locally stored data.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. We will notify you of any changes to our Privacy Policy by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.

6. Contact Us

If you have any questions regarding privacy while using the Application, or have questions about our practices, please contact us via email at your-email@example.com.
