Privacy Policy

Girl Detective · Last Updated: October 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Mintzi LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Mintzi,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you download, install, play, or interact with our mobile game Girl Detective (the “App”) on iOS and Android, or visit our website at https://mintzi.xyz/girldetective.

The core premise of Girl Detective is simple: there are no player accounts. You do not sign up with a username, password, phone number, or email address. We do not collect your real name or contact details, unless you voluntarily choose to contact customer support or provide an email address.

The App connects to the internet to provide gameplay, verify subscriptions, run the referral program, monitor app performance, and understand how the game is played. This policy explains what data we handle and your privacy choices.

1. Information We Collect

Because we do not require player accounts, we collect technical data, gameplay activity, and purchase records rather than personal profiles:

A. Information Collected Automatically

Device & Network Information: Device model, hardware manufacturer, operating system and version, system language, and coarse location (country or city derived from IP address).
Gameplay & Diagnostics: In-app gameplay analytics (such as story progression and feature usage) and crash logs to monitor stability and fix bugs.
Identifiers: A random anonymous identifier created for your installation of the App (used for referrals, subscriptions, and crash reports), vendor-level device identifiers (IDFV on iOS) used for session continuity and fraud prevention, and, where your device settings allow it (on iOS, only if you allow tracking through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt), your device’s advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS or Google Advertising ID / GAID on Android), which our analytics provider uses for measurement only. These identifiers may be stored against your anonymous user record in our database.
Push Notification Tokens: If you grant permission, a device token to deliver game updates and case alerts. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.

B. Information You Voluntarily Provide

Feedback & Support: Messages you send through the in-app feedback form or to customer support, and your email address if you choose to include it.
Onboarding Answer: Your optional answer to “Where did you hear about us?”, including anything you type in the “Other” field.
Referral Program: Your Detective Code, the Detective Code you entered (if any), and how many friends have entered yours. These records are stored on our servers and linked to your anonymous identifier, not to your name.

C. Purchases & Subscriptions

Subscriptions and in-app purchases are processed directly by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). Mintzi LLC never collects, receives, or stores your credit card number or billing details. We verify your subscription status, including any free trial, using an anonymous identifier.

Your story progress and game choices are saved locally within the App’s private storage on your device.

2. How We Use Information

We use information for the following specific purposes:

Operating the Game: Delivering mystery cases, maintaining saved game progress, and providing core game features.
Managing Subscriptions: Verifying subscriptions, processing renewals, and restoring purchases across device reinstalls.
Product Analytics & Improvement: Analyzing gameplay trends to improve story design, game balance, and user experience.
Technical Diagnostics: Monitoring app stability, resolving bugs, and diagnosing technical crashes.
Referral Program Administration: Managing Detective Codes, verifying referrals, and granting referral free-trial rewards.
Customer Support & Communications: Responding to feedback and player inquiries, and, if you allow push notifications, sending game updates and new case alerts. You can turn notifications off at any time.
Understanding How Players Find Us: Using onboarding answers, referral records, and aggregated analytics to learn which channels bring new players to the game.
Security & Fraud Prevention: Protecting the App against cheating, abuse, and fraudulent referrals.
Legal Compliance: Complying with applicable laws, governmental requests, and enforcing our Terms of Use.

3. How We Share and Disclose Information

We disclose information only to trusted service providers that assist us in operating Girl Detective, and in the limited cases below:

A. Service Providers & Processors

App Store & Platform Providers: Apple and Google for app distribution, in-app purchase processing, and platform billing.
Cloud Hosting & Infrastructure: Infrastructure providers that deliver game assets, software updates, and secure backend storage.
Analytics & Diagnostics: Third-party services that assist us in analyzing gameplay trends and identifying software crashes.
Subscription Management: Secure services used to validate store receipts and manage subscription entitlements.
Feedback Tools: Feedback you send is delivered to our team’s internal messaging workspace so we can read and respond to it.

B. No Sale and No Advertising Networks

We do not sell personal information, and we do not currently share it with advertising networks, data brokers, or other third parties for targeted advertising. If that changes, we will update this Privacy Policy first and ask for your permission where the law or your device requires it.

C. Legal Compliance & Protection of Rights

We may disclose collected information if required by law, regulation, subpoena, or legal warrant, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to investigate fraud, enforce our Terms of Use, or protect the safety and rights of Mintzi LLC, our players, or the public.

D. Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of company assets, or bankruptcy, player records and technical data held by Mintzi LLC may be transferred as part of the business assets.

4. Your Privacy Choices & Opt-Outs

You have direct control over how your data is collected and used:

A. Apple iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT)

On iOS, Girl Detective may show Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you select “Ask App not to Track,” the App cannot access your IDFA. You can change your choice at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking > Girl Detective.

B. Android Advertising ID Controls

On Android devices, you can reset your Google Advertising ID or opt out of personalized advertising at any time. Go to Settings > Google > Ads (or Settings > Privacy > Ads) and choose “Delete advertising ID” or “Reset advertising ID.”

C. Push Notification Settings

You can opt out of push notifications at any time by modifying your operating system preferences in Settings > Notifications > Girl Detective.

D. Deleting Your Data

Deleting the App removes your saved progress from your device. To delete the records we keep on our servers (your referral profile and onboarding answer), email support@mintzi.xyz with the subject line “Delete My Data” and include your Detective Code. Deleting this data does not cancel a subscription; manage that in your store account settings.

E. Global Privacy Control (GPC) & Operating System Signals

On our website, we honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Within the App, we respect your operating system choices, such as denying the iOS ATT prompt or deleting your Android Advertising ID.
