Privacy Policy
Main Character Mindset (“the app”) is developed and published by Oscar Nuncio Noriega (Oscar Nuns) (“we”, “us”). This policy covers both the Android app and the iPhone app. It explains what information the app handles, how it is used, and the choices you have. Where the two versions differ, this policy says so. The short version: the app has no accounts, we do not collect or store your personal information on our servers, and the only third-party data processing comes from advertising (Google AdMob) and payments (Google Play on Android, the Apple App Store on iPhone), both of which you control.
Information we do not collect
The app does not require an account, login, or registration. We do not collect, transmit, or store your name, email address, contacts, location, photos, or any other personal information on any server we operate. We operate no servers and maintain no user database.
Information stored on your device
The app saves a small amount of data locally on your device so it can function, including:
- Your theme preference (light or dark mode)
- A randomly generated number used to personalize your daily quote order
- The quotes you save as favorites
- Your daily reminder settings, where the app offers reminders (whether reminders are on and at what time)
- Whether you have purchased the premium upgrade
This data is not sent to us or to any server we operate, and we cannot access it. It may be included in your device’s own backups if you use them (Google’s backup on Android, iCloud or computer backups on iPhone), which is how your favorites and settings can come back on a new device. Those backups are handled by Google or Apple under their own terms. The data is deleted if you uninstall the app or, on Android, clear its data in Android settings.
If you share a quote card, the image is created on your device and sent only to the app or person you choose. On iPhone, if you save a quote card to your photo library, iOS asks your permission to add photos; the app cannot see or read your existing photos.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The free version of the app, on both Android and iPhone, displays a banner advertisement served by Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service operated by Google. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process data from your device, which can include your device’s advertising identifier (on iPhone, only if you allow tracking; see below), IP address, approximate location inferred from IP, and information about your interactions with ads. This processing is performed by Google under its own privacy policy, which you can read at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Information about how Google uses data from apps that use its services is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Your consent choices (Android and iPhone). If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar requirements, the app (on both Android and iPhone) will ask for your consent before any ad-related data is processed, using Google’s consent form. On both platforms you can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Privacy options” link at the bottom of the app’s main screen, which appears wherever this consent is required. On Android, you can also reset or delete your device’s advertising identifier, or opt out of ad personalization, in your device’s Google settings (Settings → Google → Ads).
Tracking permission on iPhone (App Tracking Transparency). On iPhone, the app asks for your permission, using Apple’s standard prompt, before Google AdMob may use your device’s advertising identifier to show ads based on your activity in other companies’ apps and websites. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, the advertising identifier is not available to the app or to Google, and you will still see ads, but they will be less tailored to you. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. If you have purchased the premium upgrade, the app shows no ads and does not ask for tracking permission.
Removing ads. Purchasing the premium upgrade removes all advertising from the app, and with it all AdMob data processing, while the upgrade is active. If the store refunds the purchase, ads may return.
Purchases (Google Play and the Apple App Store)
The premium upgrade is a one-time purchase, processed entirely by Google Play on Android and by the Apple App Store on iPhone. We never receive or have access to your payment card details, billing address, or other payment information. The store informs the app only of whether the purchase was completed, and later of whether it has been refunded; on iPhone, you can restore a past purchase with the “Restore Purchases” button. Refunds are handled by the store, not by us. Google’s handling of payment data is described in the Google Privacy Policy; Apple’s is described at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.
Notifications
The Android app can send you one optional local notification per day reminding you that your daily quote is ready. This feature is off by default, is only enabled if you opt in, and can be turned off or rescheduled at any time inside the app or in Android’s notification settings. Reminders are generated entirely on your device; no notification data is sent anywhere. The iPhone app does not currently send notifications.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app contains no user-generated content, chat, or social features.
Data security
Because the app stores data only on your own device (and in any device backups you choose to use) and we operate no servers, your data’s security is governed by your device’s own protections. We encourage keeping your device’s operating system up to date.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy (for example, if a future update adds a feature that handles data differently), we will update this page and revise the effective date above. Material changes will be noted in the app’s update notes.
