Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to "What's in my mind?" (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.

The App is published by Nicolas Nieddu (Raccoon Bit Studio). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

This Privacy Policy is provided to meet transparency requirements for app stores (including Google Play’s User Data policy and Apple App Store rules). Together with any disclosures shown inside the App, it describes how the App accesses, collects, uses, and shares data.

1.1 Summary: Data We Access, Collect, and Process

This section lists every category of data the App may access, collect, or process. Details for each category appear in Section 2.

• Local app and gameplay data (stored on your device): preferences, scores, history, optional player names, custom categories (text and images you add).
• Advertising-related data (via Google AdMob): advertising identifier (IDFA / GAID), device information, approximate location (country/region), ad interaction data.
• Photos and videos (when you choose to use these features): images you capture for custom categories; gameplay replay videos you record.
• Health and fitness data (on iOS via Apple HealthKit; on Android via Health Connect or other health-related permissions when applicable—only if you grant permission): we read metrics on your device (see Section 2.4). This data is not uploaded to our servers and is not shared with advertisers.

We do not operate user accounts for the App. We do not ask for your name, email, or phone number in the App except where you optionally enter a player name stored locally.

2. Information We Collect

We collect or process the following types of information:

2.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

• Game preferences (sound settings, theme, language)
• Game history and scores
• Custom categories you create (words and images)
• Player names you enter (optional)

This data is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

2.2 Advertising Identifiers

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect:

• Advertising ID (IDFA on iOS, GAID on Android)
• Device information (model, OS version)
• Approximate location (country/region)
• Ad interaction data

2.3 Photos and Videos

The App allows you to:

• Take photos for custom categories
• Record video replays during gameplay

These files are stored locally on your device and are never uploaded to any server.

2.4 Health and Fitness Data (iOS HealthKit; Android Health Connect)

Personal and sensitive user data includes health and fitness information. On iOS, the App integrates Apple's HealthKit. On Android, comparable data may be accessed through Health Connect or other Android health-related APIs, only when you grant permission and only for the same kinds of features. Below we describe what we access, how that constitutes use of health data, and what we do not do with it.

Access and processing (what happens on your device)

With your explicit permission, the App reads health and fitness data from HealthKit on your device. For clarity: we do not receive or store this information on our servers. For the purposes of this policy, accessing HealthKit data on your device and using it to power in-app features is processing of health data on-device only. Values may exist in the App's memory while you use the feature; they are not sent to us or to analytics or advertising SDKs for that purpose.

Categories and types of HealthKit data we may access (only the types you authorize in the iOS permission screen; typically including):

• Activity / movement: Step count; related movement or activity summaries as needed for the feature (e.g. to unlock in-game rewards tied to physical activity).
• Energy and exercise: Active energy burned; Apple Exercise minutes (or equivalent exercise time metrics); used only for in-app gameplay (e.g. unlocking or progressing features).
• Workouts: Information from recorded workouts where applicable (e.g. duration or energy associated with a workout), used solely for the same in-app purposes described above.

We request access only to the HealthKit data types required for these features. If Apple shows additional types in the permission flow, those types are requested solely to provide the described functionality and are subject to the same rules below.

How we use health data (permitted purposes)

• To unlock or adjust in-game rewards or features based on your physical activity or exercise, as implemented in the App.
• To improve the gameplay experience on your device in connection with those features.

What we do not do with health data

• Health data is read read-only; we do not modify or delete your HealthKit records.
• Health data is not transmitted to our servers or cloud services we operate.
• Health data is not sold and is not shared with advertisers, including Google AdMob, or used for advertising, marketing, or cross-app tracking.
• Health data is not used for profiling beyond the in-app features described in this policy.

Your control

• You can revoke the App's access to HealthKit at any time on iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → What's in my mind?

The App does not write any data to HealthKit.

Android (Health Connect and health permissions)

If the Android version of the App requests access to health or fitness data (for example through Health Connect or other platform permissions), we read that data only on your device for the same purposes and categories described above (activity, energy/exercise, workouts as applicable). We do not upload it to our servers, do not sell it, and do not share it with advertisers (including Google AdMob). You can review or revoke permissions in Settings → Apps → What's in my mind? → Permissions and, for Health Connect, in your device's Health Connect settings, as applicable to your Android version.

If the Android version does not prompt you for health-related permissions, it does not access health or fitness data.

3. How We Use Your Information

3.1 Local Data

Your local data is used solely to:

• Save your game progress and preferences
• Display your custom categories
• Show your game history

3.3 Health Data

Uses of HealthKit data are limited to the purposes in Section 2.4 (unlocking or adjusting in-app features tied to activity, on-device only). Health data is not combined with advertising data.

3.2 Advertising Data

Advertising identifiers are used by Google AdMob to:

• Display relevant advertisements
• Measure ad performance
• Prevent fraud

You can choose to see non-personalized ads by declining consent when prompted.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Your information may be shared with:

Google AdMob - For advertising purposes. Google's Privacy Policy

We do not share your local game data, custom categories, or personal information with any third parties. HealthKit data is not shared with Google AdMob or any other advertising or analytics partner.

5. Data Retention

Local Data

Your local data is retained on your device until you:

• Delete the App

Health Data

We do not retain HealthKit data on our servers. Any on-device processing lasts only as needed while you use the related features; you can remove access as described in Section 2.4.

• Access: Request a copy of your data
• Rectification: Correct inaccurate data

The App is designed for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at raccoonbitstudio@gmail.com.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures for handling personal and sensitive user data in line with this policy:

• Game content and preferences you store in the App remain on your device unless you choose features that involve third parties (e.g. ads via AdMob) as described above
• We do not operate backend servers that store your gameplay or health data for this App
• We do not sell personal or sensitive user data
• The App does not require an account or login

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
