1. Data We Collect
We do not collect personal data such as your name, e-mail address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, or advertising identifiers.
The App stores the following information locally on your device only:
- Game progress: solved cases, investigation state, challenge answers, stars, XP, rank and streaks (browser localStorage key "mindcase.progress.v1").
- Preferences: your chosen interface language and whether automatic language detection is enabled.
- Session flags: a temporary value used so the launch screen is shown only once per browsing session (web only).
- At first launch the App reads your browser language setting and time zone to pick a default language. These values are used only on your device to choose Turkish or English and are not transmitted to us.
2. How We Use Data
The locally stored information is used solely to:
- Save and restore your investigation and challenge progress.
- Calculate stars, XP, rank and streaks inside the App.
- Remember your language preference.
- Keep the App working offline.
3. Third-Party Service Providers
The Android application distributed on Google Play runs fully offline: all game content and artwork are bundled inside the app, and it does not contact our servers during normal play.
The web version of MindCase is hosted on Lovable (Lovable Labs Incorporated) and uses Supabase (Supabase, Inc.) as its backend platform. On the web version an anonymous technical session may be created by Supabase Authentication. This session contains no name, e-mail address or profile data — it is a randomly generated identifier used for abuse prevention and rate limiting.
The App contains an experimental AI suspect-questioning feature that, when enabled, would send the text you type to the AI provider DeepSeek (Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd.) through our own server. This feature is disabled in the published application, and it is never enabled in the Android build.
The App does not include any analytics SDK, crash-reporting SDK, advertising SDK (such as AdMob), or in-app purchase / billing integration. No purchases are processed.
If you tap an external link inside the App, it is opened using your device's browser and that website's own privacy policy applies.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent or trade any information. We do not share data with advertisers, data brokers or analytics companies.
Data may only be disclosed if we are legally required to do so by a competent authority under applicable law.
5. Data Security
Because your game progress stays on your own device, it is protected by your device's own security mechanisms.
For the web version, connections are encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS, backend access is restricted by row-level security rules, and any provider API keys are kept server-side and are never included in the application.
6. Children's Privacy
MindCase is suitable for a general audience and contains no advertising, no purchases and no social features.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Because the App does not collect personal data from any user, no personal data of a child is collected either. If you believe a child has somehow provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will delete it.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
Locally stored game progress and preferences remain on your device until you delete them. You can remove them at any time by:
- Android: Settings → Apps → MindCase → Storage → Clear data, or by uninstalling the App.
- Web: clearing your browser's site data / local storage for the MindCase site.
- Anonymous technical session records created by the web version are retained only as long as needed for abuse prevention and are deleted afterwards.
8. Your Rights
The App does not create a user account. There is no sign-up, no login with e-mail, and no user profile, so there is no personal account to access, correct or delete. Any anonymous technical session on the web version is not linked to your identity.
Under applicable data protection law (including the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 and, where relevant, the GDPR), you have the right to ask whether personal data concerning you is processed, and to request access, rectification, erasure or objection. You may exercise these rights at any time by contacting us using the details below, and you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App changes, for example if a new service is added. The revised policy will be published on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Significant changes will also be reflected in the app store listing.
