1. Introduction

Welcome to Cognify (“we,” “us,” or “our”), developed and maintained by Giga Mind. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application Cognify (the “App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1. Personal Information

• User Account Data: When you sign in via Google or anonymously, we collect identifiers such as your UID, display name, and email address (if provided).
• Usage Data: Streak counts, game scores, XP earned, tutorial completion flags—used to personalize your experience.
• Device Information: Device model, operating system version, app version, and unique device identifiers (e.g. Android Advertising ID) to help us optimize performance.

2.2. Automatically Collected Data

• Analytics & Crash Reports: We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to collect anonymized usage metrics and crash reports.
• Permissions Data: If you grant notification permissions, we record that grant to manage reminders; we never collect the content of your notifications or messages.

2.3. Data from Third Parties

• Google Sign-In: We receive basic profile information (name, email) from Google when you choose to authenticate.
• Anonymous Sign-In: When using Firebase anonymous authentication, we receive a unique anonymous UID without any additional personal information.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Core Functionality: To track your progress (scores, streaks, achievements), store high scores and personal bests, and deliver in-app experiences.
• Notifications & Reminders: To schedule and deliver push notifications reminding you to play and maintain your streak (only if you opt in).
• Analytics & Improvement: To analyze usage patterns, diagnose technical issues, and optimize game mechanics and onboarding flows.
• Communication: To send transactional messages (e.g. welcome emails, account updates) and respond to support requests.
