Brainblast (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Brainblast mobile application (the “App”) and any related services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Service, you agree with Brainblast’s collection, use, and sharing of your personal information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Remember that your use of Brainblast is at all times subject to our Terms of Use, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use.
1. Information We Collect
a. Information You Provide
We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:
- Account Information: name, email address, phone number, username, and login credentials
- Educational Data: practice activity, progress, scores, and performance metrics
- Communications: feedback, support requests, or messages sent to us
- Contact Syncing: Brainblast has a Contact Sync feature, which allows you to find your contacts who also use Brainblast. If you use Contact Sync, you will provide your phone number and give the Brainblast app permission to access the contacts stored on your phone, including the phone number, name, photo, and other information stored in that contact for the purpose of identifying your contacts who also use Brainblast and recommending them as users you may wish to engage with. If you use the Contact Sync feature, Brainblast will not store your contacts’ phone numbers, but only an encrypted “hash” of them. This hash is an alternative code to the actual phone number and can be used only to match the hash of other users’ numbers. The hashing process securely strips away the real phone number, so Brainblast cannot use the hashes to identify your contacts’ real phone numbers, contact your contacts, or share their information with anyone else. This hashing process applies only to your contacts’ phone numbers and not yours. You can disable the Contact Sync feature and your sharing of contacts with Brainblast by accessing the Social Accounts section of the app Settings. This will also instruct Brainblast to automatically delete any previously shared information about your contacts.
We use Mixpanel, a third-party analytics service, to understand how users interact with the App and to improve functionality and user experience.
Mixpanel may collect information such as:
- App usage events and interactions
- Session duration and feature usage
- Anonymous device identifiers
This data is used solely for analytics and product improvement purposes. We do not use Mixpanel for advertising, tracking across apps or websites, or selling personal data. Data processed by Mixpanel is handled in accordance with its own privacy policy.
b. Information Collected Automatically
When you use the App, we may collect:
- Device Information: device type, operating system, and app version
- Activity Data: When you use the Service, we may generate data about your use of the Service, which may include your browser and device data, log data, and IP address. We will also generate data regarding your engagement in educational activities on the Service. We may recommend other Brainblast users for you to follow, and for other users to follow you, based on a shared IP address such as other users on the same WiFi network as you, or if other users share your device. We will retain your IP address for no more than thirty (30) days, unless exceptional circumstances require longer retention.
Identifiers: anonymous identifiers used solely for app functionality and analytics.
We do not collect precise location data.
c. Payment Information
All payments are processed through Apple’s In-App Purchase system. We do not collect, store, or have access to your full payment or credit card information.
