Privacy Policy
Mythic Modern (“the App”, “we”, “us”) is a Greek-mythology app that lets you explore an interactive lore library and converse with AI personas of gods, heroes, and monsters (“the Oracle”). This policy explains what data the App handles, why, and your choices. It is written to be plain and complete rather than to hide behind legalese.
1. Who we are
The App is developed and operated by Digital Doctor LLC, under the Mythic Modern brand. For any privacy question or request, contact us at hello@mythicmodern.com.
2. Information we handle
2a. Data that leaves your device
| Data | Purpose | Recipient | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| The messages you type to the Oracle, and the conversation context needed to answer them | To generate the AI character’s reply | Our backend (a proxy), which forwards them to Anthropic, PBC (the “Claude” AI service) | Our backend does not store your messages — it only relays them. Anthropic processes them to produce a response, subject to Anthropic’s policies (see §4). |
| An optional display name and “what you seek” preference you may enter at onboarding or in Settings (you can leave them blank or clear them at any time) | To personalize how the AI characters address you (e.g. greeting you by name) | Included in the prompt context our backend forwards to Anthropic, only when you have set them | Stored on your device until you clear them. Our backend does not store them; Anthropic processes them as part of the request, subject to Anthropic’s policies (see §4). |
| An anonymous app-install identifier (a random number generated on first launch — not a hardware ID, phone number, or advertising ID) | Security and abuse prevention (limiting how many requests a single install can make) | Our backend | Deleted immediately if you use Settings → “Delete my data” in the App; otherwise purged automatically within 90 days. Not linked to your identity, and resets if you reinstall the App. |
| Your device’s IP address | Security and abuse prevention (rate limiting); it is a standard part of any internet request | Our backend and our hosting provider | Used transiently for rate limiting and standard server logs; not used to build a profile of you. |
| Crash diagnostics — if the App crashes: a stack trace, device state (model, OS version, available memory), and an anonymous crash-reporter install identifier | To detect and fix stability problems | Google Firebase Crashlytics | Retained per Google’s Crashlytics policy (typically up to 90 days). Contains no personal profile and is not used for advertising. |
We use Crashlytics for crash diagnostics only — we do not use Firebase Analytics or any product-usage tracking.
2b. Data that stays on your device
Your conversation history, which figures you’ve unlocked, trivia streaks, and app settings are stored locally on your device only. We do not upload, sync, or have access to this data. It is removed when you clear a conversation in-app or uninstall the App.
2c. What we do not collect
We do not require or collect your real identity. We never collect your email, phone number, contacts, precise or approximate location, photos, files, or advertising identifiers. The only name we handle is the optional display name you may choose to enter (see §2a) — you can leave it blank. The App contains no ads, no analytics SDKs, and no third-party tracking of any kind.
3. Permissions the App requests
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Internet / Network state | To reach the Oracle service and detect when you’re offline |
| Notifications & alarms | To show the optional daily-myth reminder (computed on your device) |
| Vibrate | Notification feedback |
None of these permissions are used to collect personal information.
4. Service providers
We rely on two providers to run the Oracle. We share only what §2a describes.
- Anthropic, PBC — processes your chat messages to generate AI replies. See Anthropic’s Privacy Policy and Usage Policies.
- Supabase — hosts our backend proxy and rate-limiting counters. See Supabase’s Privacy Policy.
- Google Firebase Crashlytics — receives crash diagnostics to help us fix stability issues. See Firebase’s Privacy information.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing or advertising.
5. Data retention & deletion
- Delete my data (in-app): open Settings and tap “Delete my data” at any time. This immediately erases everything stored on your device — your name, quest, unlocked deities, conversations, and trivia streak — and asks our backend to erase the anonymous rate-limit record tied to your device. You can also achieve just the on-device part by clearing a conversation or uninstalling the App.
- On our backend: we do not store your messages. The anonymous rate-limit counter tied to your device is deleted immediately by the action above; if you never use it, that same record is purged automatically within 90 days regardless. There is no account to delete.
- Requests: to ask a question or request deletion of any data you believe we hold, email hello@mythicmodern.com and we will respond within 2 business days.
6. Security
All communication between the App and our backend, and between our backend and Anthropic, is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. Our AI service credentials are held only on our server and are never placed in the App.
7. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing. Because the App holds no account and stores your content on your own device, you can exercise most of these directly in the App; for anything else, contact us at hello@mythicmodern.com.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, noted in the App.
