Privacy Policy
Effective November 4, 2026
Mimic This! is a video charades game made by Mariano Ferreira Pinho in Toronto, Canada ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the app collects, why, and the choices you have. Questions: [email protected].
What we collect
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Display name and optional profile photo | So friends recognize you in games. |
| Email address (only if you sign in with email, Apple or Google) | To sign you in and let friends find you by exact email. |
| Account ID | To run your games, scores and settings. |
| Mime videos you record | To show them to the players in that game. Videos are silent: the app never records sound. |
| Guesses, reactions, scores and the custom words you add | To play the game. Your custom words are only shown to you until they are dealt as a secret word. |
| Reports and blocks | To keep players safe. |
| Push notification token | To tell you when it's your turn or a friend's mime is ready. |
| Subscription status | To unlock Mimic+. Apple handles payment; we never see your card details. |
| Advertising data (free players only) | To show ads between rounds. See "Ads" below. |
Your videos
Each video is shown only to the players in the game it was recorded for. It is deleted from our servers 5 days after it was recorded, or when the game ends, whichever comes first. If you save your own video to your phone, that copy is yours and stays on your phone.
Ads
Free players see ads from Google AdMob between rounds. Google may collect your device's advertising identifier, approximate location from your network, and ad interaction data to show and measure ads. On iPhone you choose whether apps may track you; if you say no, you still see ads, just not personalized ones. In the EU, UK and similar regions you are asked for consent first. Mimic+ subscribers see no ads. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Who processes data for us
- Supabase: hosts accounts, games and videos (servers in Canada).
- Expo: delivers push notifications.
- RevenueCat and Apple: handle Mimic+ subscriptions.
- Google AdMob: ads for free players.
We don't sell your personal information.
How long we keep it
Videos: up to 5 days, as above. Everything else: while your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, scores, the turns you acted and your videos are removed; games you host pass to another player.
Your choices
- Delete your account anytime in the app: Profile → Delete my account.
- Change your name or photo in Profile.
- Block players and report videos at any time.
- Turn off notifications or tracking in your phone's Settings.
- Ask us for a copy of your data or to correct it: [email protected].
Children
Mimic This! is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
