Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Account and profile information — When you create an account we collect sign-in identifiers such as your phone number or email address. You may add a username, display name, and profile photo (avatar).

Mission and submission data — When you complete a mission you submit a proof photo and related metadata, including mission ID, daily drop ID, region, timestamps, and whether the submission was on time or late. Proof photos are stored in our cloud storage.

Usage and interaction data — We collect information about how you use the Service, such as features used, mission completions, streaks, archive activity, and interactions on The Wall.

Device and technical data — We may collect device type, operating system version, app version, IP address, and push notification tokens if you grant permission.

Support communications — If you contact us for help, feedback, or account requests, we retain those messages and related details needed to respond.

How We Use Your Information

To provide and improve the Service — including publishing daily missions, storing proof submissions, calculating streaks, and showing The Wall.

To authenticate your account and secure sign-in using your phone number or email.

To send push notifications when you enable them, such as mission drop alerts and reminders.

To understand usage through analytics so we can improve reliability and product experience.

To enforce our Community Guidelines and Safety standards, review reports, and prevent abuse.

To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

Third-Party Services

Firebase (Google) — We use Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, and Firebase Hosting to operate the Service. Data is processed on Google infrastructure. See https://policies.google.com/privacy.

PostHog — When enabled, we use PostHog for product analytics (for example, feature usage and funnels). PostHog is configured not to receive your proof photos or mission image content. See https://posthog.com/privacy.

Expo / EAS — Our mobile app is built and distributed with Expo. Expo may process limited technical data for builds, updates, and crash diagnostics. See https://expo.dev/privacy.

We do not sell your personal information.

How We Share Information

The Wall — Proof submissions you post may be visible to other signed-in users who have also submitted proof for the same daily drop, according to product rules and your visibility settings.

Profile visibility — Your username, display name, and profile photo may be visible to other users in the Service.

Contact details — We do not show your phone number or email address to other users.

Service providers — We use vendors (such as hosting and analytics providers) who process data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations.

Legal and safety — We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the safety of users or the public.

Data Retention

We keep account, profile, and submission data while your account is active or as needed to provide the Service.

When you request account deletion, we delete or anonymise personal data within the timeframes described on our Delete Account page, subject to limited retention described there.

We may retain certain records longer where required by law, for security and abuse prevention, or in anonymised form that cannot reasonably identify you.

Your Choices and Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data in the app (Settings → Account Management) or on our Delete Account page at https://verdict.modelabs.studio/delete-account. You can also email support@verdict.modelabs.studio.

You can turn off push notifications in your device settings or in the in-app Notifications settings.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under local law. Contact us to make a request and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact support@verdict.modelabs.studio and we will delete it promptly.

If you are 13–17, you should use the Service only with permission from a parent or guardian who has reviewed this policy with you.
