Comprehensive Privacy Policy
Effective Date: February 27, 2026
Executive Summary for Users
What We Prioritize
- • Voluntary registration for all core features.
- • Local-first storage for guest sessions.
- • Anonymized cognitive performance aggregation.
User Control
- • Easy account deletion and data export.
- • Configurable privacy toggles for social features.
- • Transparent ad-tracking disclosures.
1Detailed Scope of Data Collection
1.1 Cognitive & Performance Metrics (The "Brain" Data)
As a brain training and cognitive development platform, Schultee processes specialized data points to calculate your developmental progress. This includes high-resolution telemetry of:
- Reaction Telemetry: Precise millisecond timestamps for stimulus response.
- Accuracy Matrices: Tracking correct vs. incorrect responses across varying difficulty levels.
- Pattern Recognition Latency: Measuring the time taken to identify complex visual or logic structures.
- Cognitive Stamina: Decay rates in performance over extended play sessions.
- Difficulty Scaling Factors: Dynamic adjustments based on your "Failure Rate" to ensure optimal learning (The Zone of Proximal Development).
This data is primarily used to generate your personal performance charts and to power our global leaderboards. For guest users, this data resides on-device. For registered users, this is synced to our secure cloud infrastructure to enable cross-device progress.
1.2 Identity & Secure Authentication
When you transcend guest status, we collect "Account Data" which comprises:
- Primary Identifier: Verified email address for account recovery and critical service alerts.
- Public Profile: User-defined nickname (optional) which appears on public competitive leaderboards.
- Credential Security: Cryptographically salted and hashed passwords (we never see your clear-text password).
- OAuth Metadata: If using Google/Apple sign-in, we receive a unique token and basic profile info provided by the provider.
1.3 Technical Device Fingerprinting
To ensure app stability and prevent multi-account abuse, we collect technical "Handshake Data":
- Hardware details (Manufacturer, model, screen resolution, GPU architecture for rendering optimization).
- Operating System telemetry (Version number, kernel build, current language/region settings).
- Network environment (truncated IP address for regional latency optimization, connection type [Wi-Fi/5G]).
2Advertising, Attribution, and Meta (Facebook) Compliance
2.1 The Meta Pixel & SDK Integration
We utilize Meta business tools, including the Facebook SDK and Meta Pixel, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on the Meta platform (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger). This helps us reach individuals likely interested in brain training and ensures we aren't displaying irrelevant ads to current active users.
Through these tools, Meta may collect or receive information from Schultee and other apps to provide measurement services and targeted ads. This information includes:
- App Events: "Install," "Launch," and "Purchase" events to attribute ads correctly.
- Advanced Matching: If consented, we may share hashed identifiers (like hashed email) to help Meta better attribute interactions without exposing raw data.
- Custom Audiences: We may use hashed user lists to create "Lookalike" audiences, reaching people with similar cognitive improvement interests.
2.2 Opt-out and User Control over Ads
You have the right to restrict this data sharing. You can manage your preferences through:
- Device Settings: Using "Limit Ad Tracking" (iOS) or "Opt out of Interest-Based Ads" (Android).
- Meta Ad Preferences: Controlling how Meta uses your off-platform activity within your Facebook settings.
- Schultee Settings: Using the toggle in the "Privacy" menu within the application to disable third-party advertising SDKs.
3How and Why We Process Your Data
Under modern data protection laws (like GDPR), we must have a "Legal Basis" for every processing activity. We rely on:
Contractual Necessity
We process your performance data and account info because it is essential to providing the core service you requested (saving your progress and competing on leaderboards).
Legitimate Interests
We use analytics to improve game performance, predict hardware bottlenecks, and detect cheating patterns that would ruin the experience for others.
Consent
For advanced tracking, Meta attribution, or marketing emails, we explicitly ask for your opt-in consent which can be withdrawn at any time.
4Global Data Infrastructure & Sub-Processors
To provide a 99.9% uptime global service, we partner with specialized infrastructure providers. Your information may be processed in the United States, Europe, or other regions where these partners operate:
| Partner | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase (Google) | Cloud Hosting & Live DB | Account IDs, Game State |
| RevenueCat | Subscription Management | App Store Order IDs |
| Google Analytics | Usage Insight | Anonymized Session Events |
| Meta (Facebook) | Ad Attribution | Hashed Device IDs, Install Events |
We ensure all partners adhere to Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent frameworks to guarantee your data's safety when crossing international borders.
5Your Global Privacy Rights (GDPR/CCPA/LGPD)
Regardless of your location, Schultee extends the following rights to all users:
Right to Access (Portability)
Request a JSON export of your complete gameplay history and account data.
Right to be Forgotten (Deletion)
Permanently erase your account and associated cognitive records from our production servers.
Right to Rectification
Correct inaccurate account details through your profile dashboard.
Right to Restrict Processing
Withdraw consent for secondary data uses like marketing or ad-tracking.
To exercise any of these rights, simply email our Privacy Response Team at support@schultee.com. We typically respond to all verified requests within 30 days.
6Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Schultee is designed for a general audience. We do not knowingly target or collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we become aware that a minor has bypassed age-gates, we will immediately purge all associated data. Parents who believe their child has created an account should contact us for immediate deletion support.
7Updates to this Policy
As Schultee introduces new cognitive training modules or enters new markets, this policy will evolve. Significant changes will be announced via in-app notifications. We encourage you to review the "Last Updated" timestamp at the top of this page periodically.
