Privacy Policy — Bright Mind
1. Overview
Bright Mind is a brain-training app: mini games, short reflection tests, and a record of how you are getting on. It is built so that almost nothing has to leave your phone. Everything you earn — levels, stars, streaks, test results and settings — is written to storage on the device itself.
The exceptions are listed below, and every one of them is optional: an account, if you want your progress backed up; notifications, if you want reminding; and contact details, if you choose to give them for a prize draw.
2. What Stays On Your Device
Held only in the app's own storage on your iPhone or iPad, and never sent to us:
- Your daily goal, difficulty, and sound, music and haptics settings
- Game levels, best scores, stars and how many times you have played
- Your streak, your daily activity history and your skills radar
- Every test result, including the score and the band it fell into
- The name you type in, and any phone number you save for prizes
Deleting the app removes all of it. “Reset all progress” in Settings erases the same data without deleting the app.
3. Accounts Are Optional
You can use every game and every test without signing in. On first launch the app creates an anonymous account through Firebase Authentication (a Google service) so that your progress has an identifier if you later choose to sign in — it contains no personal details.
If you do choose to sign in, you may use:
- Email and password — your email address and a password you choose
- Google — handled by Google Sign-In; we receive your email address and name
- Apple — handled by Sign in with Apple; if you choose to hide your email, we only ever see Apple's relay address
Firebase Authentication stores the account itself (identifier, email address, display name and sign-in timestamps). Signing in links your existing guest progress to that account rather than replacing it. You can sign out at any time from Settings → Account, and your progress stays on the device.
4. Prize Contact Details
Settings → Account has an optional field for your name and a phone number with country code. It exists for one reason: so that we can reach you if you win a giveaway or contest we run. It is stored on your device, it is never required, and leaving it blank changes nothing about how the app works. If you have signed in, the name you enter is also saved as the display name on your account.
5. Notifications
Both notification switches are off until you turn them on, and iOS will ask for your permission the first time.
- Daily reminder — a local notification scheduled on the device at the time you pick. It never involves a server.
- Push notifications — delivered through Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service, used for news about new games, challenges and prizes. This requires a device token, which is generated by Apple and held by Firebase so a message can be routed to your device.
Turning either switch off in Settings stops it, and so does turning notifications off for Bright Mind in iOS Settings.
6. No Advertising, No Tracking
Bright Mind carries no advertising, no advertising identifiers and no third-party trackers. Analytics is switched off in the app's Firebase configuration. We do not build a profile of you, and we do not sell or share personal information with anyone for advertising.
7. Permissions We Do Not Ask For
The app does not use the microphone, camera, photo library, contacts, location, calendar or health data. Its sounds and music are generated on the device; no recording ever takes place.
8. Test Results Are Not A Diagnosis
The tests in Bright Mind are reflection exercises. They are not clinical or psychometric assessments and are not used to make any decision about you. Results are stored on your device and shown only to you.
9. Purchases
Every game and test is playable for free. If paid features are introduced, purchases will be handled entirely by Apple through the App Store — we never see or store your card or billing details.
10. Third-Party Services
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Messaging) — accounts and push delivery. See Google's privacy policy.
- Google Sign-In — only if you choose to sign in with Google.
- Apple — Sign in with Apple, push notification delivery and, where applicable, App Store purchases.
No other third party receives data from the app.
11. Children's Privacy
Bright Mind is suitable for children and contains no advertising, no chat and no user-generated content. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children. An account is not required to play; where a child uses the app, we recommend leaving it signed out and leaving the optional contact fields blank. A parent or guardian who believes details were entered by a child may contact us and we will delete them.
12. Data Retention & Deletion
- On-device data — kept until you reset progress or delete the app.
- Account data — kept for as long as the account exists. Email us to have your account and its data deleted, and it will be removed from Firebase Authentication.
- Push token — removed when you turn push off or delete the app.
13. Security
On-device data is protected by the operating system's own app sandbox and device encryption. Account traffic to Firebase is encrypted in transit. No system is perfect, and we do not claim otherwise — which is one more reason the app keeps as little as it does.
14. Your Choices
- Play entirely as a guest; sign in only if you want a backup
- Leave the phone number field empty — it is only for prize contact
- Turn reminders and push off, individually, at any time
- Reset all progress from Settings, or delete the app
15. Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it, and material changes will be noted in the app.
16. Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or Bright Mind, contact us:
Summary: Your levels, stars, streaks and test results stay on your device. An account is optional and exists only to back them up. A phone number is optional and exists only so a winner can be contacted. No ads, no analytics, no tracking, and no microphone or camera access at all.
