Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 November 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the MindSprint app ("the app", "we", "us") handles information, and the rights you have wherever you live. The app is available worldwide.
In short
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location. Your scores and settings stay on your device.
The app is free and shows ads from Google AdMob. Google may collect some device information to show and measure those ads, as explained below.
Who is responsible
The app is provided by Shivi's Games, who is responsible for this app and this policy. You can contact us at sheevigames@gmail.com.
For the ads shown in the app, Google is also responsible for the information it collects, as described in Google's own privacy policy.
Information stored on your device
The app saves your profile (the player name and avatar you choose), level progress, game results, best scores, Daily Challenge history and settings (such as sound and haptic preferences) on your device. This information is not sent to us, and we cannot see it.
You can delete it at any time by uninstalling the app or clearing its data in your device settings.
App update checks
The app may check the relevant app store for available updates. On iOS, the check uses Apple's App Store lookup service. For test builds, the app may check a release manifest hosted on GitHub. These requests disclose standard connection information, such as your IP address, to those services. The app does not send your game progress or profile as part of these checks.
Information we do not collect
We do not run our own servers for the app and do not receive any personal information from it. We do not use analytics or crash-reporting services, and we do not sell your information.
Advertising by Google AdMob
The app uses Google AdMob to show banner ads and full-screen ads between games. To deliver ads, measure their performance and prevent fraud, Google may collect:
- your device's advertising identifier (the Android advertising ID or, if you allow it, the iOS IDFA)
- your IP address, from which an approximate location (such as country or city) may be inferred
- device and app information, such as device model, operating system, language and app version
- how you interact with ads, such as views and taps
Depending on your choices and where you live, Google may use this information to show ads personalised to your interests, or only non-personalised ads based on general context and approximate location.

Your choices about ads
Where required, Google's consent tools ask for your choices about ads before ads are requested. You can review or change available privacy choices from the app's profile screen.
On iOS, the app asks your permission before your device's advertising identifier is used for tracking. You can change this in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
On Android, you can delete or reset your advertising ID in your device settings (usually Settings > Privacy > Ads, or Settings > Google > Ads).
If you choose not to allow personalised ads, you will still see ads, but they will be less relevant to you.
Legal bases (EEA, UK and Switzerland)
Where data protection laws such as the GDPR apply, personalised advertising relies on your consent. Showing non-personalised ads, measuring ads and preventing fraud rely on the legitimate interest in keeping the app free and secure. Information kept only on your device is used solely to provide the app's features to you.
International transfers
Google may process advertising information in the United States and other countries. Google relies on recognised safeguards for these transfers, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
How long information is kept
Scores and settings stay on your device until you delete the app or its data. Google keeps advertising information for the periods set out in its privacy policy.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict its use, to withdraw consent at any time, and to complain to your local data protection authority. These rights exist, for example, under the GDPR (EEA and UK), the LGPD (Brazil), PIPEDA (Canada), the Privacy Act (Australia) and the DPDP Act (India).
If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law, you have the right to know what information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. You can opt out of personalised ads using the choices described above.
Because we do not hold personal information about you, most requests about advertising data are best made to Google. You can also write to us at sheevigames@gmail.com and we will help. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, or under the minimum age for consent to data processing in your country (up to 16 in some countries). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us.
Security
Your scores and settings are protected by your device's own security. Information collected by Google is protected by Google's security measures.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy, for example when the app changes or the law requires it. The date at the top shows when it last changed. For significant changes, we will let you know in the app or the store listing.
