MycoLogic Privacy Policy

The short version

• We do not collect your name, email address, location, contacts, photos, device identifiers, or advertising identifiers.
• The learning game (concepts, Mycelial Network, challenges, Field Notes, Daily Discovery) makes no network requests at all.
• Oracle Mode sends an anonymous event when you draw a card and when you save a journal entry. The event says which card and when. It never includes what you wrote.
• Those events carry a random identifier generated on your device. It is not linked to you, your Apple ID, or any account, and we cannot use it to identify you.

What stays on your device

MycoLogic saves your progress locally so the app remembers where you left off: which concepts you have discovered, your mastery levels, achievements, the state of your Mycelial Network, your Daily Discovery record, and any Field Notes you write. Oracle Mode also keeps its own local record: your draw history, your journal entries in full, and your sound and accessibility preferences.

All of this is written to your device's own app storage. Apart from the Oracle Mode events described below, none of it is uploaded anywhere. We cannot read it, and we never receive a copy of it. If your device backs itself up to iCloud or to a computer, that backup is governed by Apple's privacy policy rather than by ours.

Field Notes and Oracle Mode journal entries

Anything you write in the app is yours. Field Notes and Oracle Mode journal entries are stored only on your device, are never transmitted, are never used for analytics, and are never reviewed by anyone. When you save an Oracle Mode journal entry, the app records that you journaled about a particular card, and nothing about what you wrote. Deleting a note or entry removes it from your device permanently.

What Oracle Mode sends

Oracle Mode is a contemplative card deck inside MycoLogic. It shares its card statistics with our MycOracle app, so that both apps contribute to one picture of which cards people draw. Each event is sent to a database hosted for us by Supabase and contains:

• When you draw: the card drawn and its title, whether it was a one-card or three-card draw, its position within that draw, the date and time, and whether it was your first draw since opening the app.
• When you save a journal entry: the card the entry is about and the date and time. Not the entry itself.
• With every event:your device's time zone (for example “America/Denver”), the app version, and a random identifier described below.

If you are offline, events wait on your device and are sent the next time the app has a connection. We use them only to count draws and journal entries per card. They are not used for advertising, are not sold, and are not shared with anyone other than the hosting provider that stores them for us.

The random identifier

The first time you use Oracle Mode, the app generates a random identifier and keeps it in the app's own storage. It is attached to each event so that draws from the same install can be grouped together in statistics. It is not derived from your device, your Apple ID, your phone number, or anything else about you, and there is no account it could be connected to. We cannot work backwards from it to you. Deleting the app discards it; a reinstall generates a new one.

Analytics, advertising, and tracking

MycoLogic contains no third-party analytics SDK, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no tracking software. It does not track you across apps or websites, and it does not use the Advertising Identifier. The Oracle Mode events above are the only usage information the app produces, and they are not linked to your identity.

Children

MycoLogic is rated for all ages. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The Oracle Mode events are anonymous, are used only to operate and improve the app, and are never used to contact, profile, or advertise to anyone.

Deleting your information

Your progress, notes, and journal live only on your device, and you control them completely. The app's Settings offer two separate actions, each of which asks for confirmation first:

• Reset progress erases every discovery, mastery level, achievement, and your Mycelial Network. Your Field Notes are deliberately kept, because they are your own writing rather than game progress.
• Delete all field notes permanently removes everything you have written, and leaves your progress intact.

Oracle Mode's own menu lets you clear its draw history and delete individual journal entries. Deleting the app removes all of it at once, including the random identifier.

Events already sent by Oracle Mode are anonymous and are not connected to any account, so there is no personal record for us to look up. If you would still like the events from your install removed, email us and we will help; because we cannot tell which events are yours without the identifier stored on your device, we may ask you to read it from the app.

Purchases

MycoLogic is a one-time purchase on the App Store. It contains no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no advertising. Apple handles the transaction; we receive no payment details from it.

A note on what MycoLogic is

MycoLogic is a learning game about fungal biology. Oracle Mode is a reflective card deck and is not science. Neither is a mushroom identification guide, and the app gives no foraging, edibility, or medical advice. Never make a decision about eating a wild fungus based on this or any other app; misidentification can be fatal.

Changes to this policy

Versions of MycoLogic before 1.0.2 had no Oracle Mode and made no network requests; the previous edition of this policy described them. If this policy changes again, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date before the change ships.
