Privacy Policy

1. Information you provide

• Account & sign-in. You can sign in with Apple, Google, or an email and password. We receive an account identifier and, depending on the method, your email address and name. Apple Sign In may relay a private email address.
• Profile. Your username, display name, bio, and a profile photo you choose to upload, plus deck names.
• Age information. To gate age-restricted features, we ask for your birth month and year and store an age band derived from it.
• Content you post. Community posts, replies, suggestions, and any messages you send within the Service.
• Support & requests. Messages you send us, including feedback, suggestions, and privacy requests.

2. Information collected automatically

• Gameplay data. Your card collection, decks, Arena matches, Solo challenges, daily quests, in-game currency and rewards, Chests you open, purchases of virtual items, and other in-game activity tied to your account.
• Device & technical data. Device type and name, operating system, app version, language and time zone, a per-install identifier, and IP address.
• Push tokens. If you enable notifications, a push token (via Expo, Apple Push Notification service, and/or Firebase Cloud Messaging) so we can send you notifications.
• Analytics & diagnostics. We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to understand usage and diagnose crashes and errors. This includes app events and crash reports, associated with your account identifier. We do not use this data for cross-app advertising tracking.

3. Card content & mythological figures

Mythic Picks features Legends drawn from world mythology — gods, monsters, heroes, and spirits such as Zeus, Thor, Anubis, and Baba Yaga, organized into Elements and pantheons (Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and more). These figures are part of the public domain and historical folklore; they are not living people, and we do not collect, store, or display personal data about real individuals to power gameplay.

We create original, stylized card artwork and lore for these figures and host and serve that artwork from our own infrastructure (a cloud storage bucket we control), which the app downloads. The artwork, written lore, card designs, and game content are our own creative works.

4. How we use information

• operate and provide the Service, including accounts, gameplay, the in-game economy, and purchases;
• personalize your experience and send notifications you've enabled;
• moderate content and keep the community safe;
• measure performance, fix bugs, and improve features;
• prevent fraud, abuse, and cheating, and enforce our Terms;
• respond to your support and privacy requests, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. Service providers we share with

We share information with vendors that help us run Mythic Picks, under their own privacy terms:

• Google Firebase — authentication, database (Firestore), cloud functions, file storage, cloud messaging, analytics, Crashlytics, and abuse prevention (App Check / Play Integrity / App Attest).
• RevenueCat and the Apple App Store / Google Play — to process and validate purchases (your account identifier is used to link entitlements).
• Apple and Google — sign-in.
• Cloudflare — hosting of card artwork, and a bot-protection check (Turnstile) on website forms.
• Expo — app updates and push delivery.

We may also disclose information to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the Service.

6. Data retention

We keep information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, then retain limited data as needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our agreements. Some records (for example, security and moderation logs) may be retained in a limited, de-identified, or minimal form after account deletion.

7. Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. California residents and EU/UK users have these rights under the CCPA/CPRA and GDPR/UK GDPR.

• Delete your account & data: in the app, go to Settings → Account → Delete Account, or see our data deletion page.
• Access / copy your data: use the in-app About → Privacy Requests option, or email us (see Section 11). We verify requests before fulfilling them.
• Notifications: manage push notifications in the app and your device settings.

We do not sell or share personal information for advertising, so there is no such opt-out to exercise.

8. Children's privacy

Mythic Picks is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; accounts identified as under 13 are restricted, and certain social features have higher age limits. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Security & international transfers

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Our providers operate globally, so your information may be processed in countries other than where you live, including the United States. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.

10. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, may provide additional notice. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
