Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy explains how JCapps Digital handles information associated with The Infinite mobile app, The Infinite website and its pre-release testing program.

In this policy, “The Infinite”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to JCapps Digital.

2. Information stored locally in the app

The Infinite stores the following information on your device so its features can work:

• passages you save;
• journal text you choose to write;
• saved books and daily passages;
• app preferences, including appearance and reveal settings;
• whether onboarding has been completed; and
• a locally cached record of whether Remove Ads is owned.

This material is not uploaded by JCapps Digital to an account or synchronised between devices. The app does not currently require you to create an account.

You can delete locally stored user material through the app’s data deletion option. Uninstalling the app will also ordinarily remove its locally stored app data, subject to the way Android and Google Play manage device backups and purchases.

3. Network services used by the app

Quantum selection service

When an online quantum selection is requested, the app contacts a protected Firebase Cloud Function to obtain the randomness used for the selection process. It does not send your private question, journal text or saved passages. Firebase App Check is used to help confirm that requests come from an authentic installation of the app.

Corpus delivery

The app downloads collection indexes and literary source material from JCapps Digital’s corpus service. As with ordinary internet requests, hosting and network providers may process technical information such as IP address, request time, requested file and basic security logs.

Secure local fallback

If the protected quantum service is unavailable, the app may use secure randomness generated locally on your device. The app identifies the method used for a reveal.

4. Advertising, analytics and consent

The free version of The Infinite uses Google Mobile Ads to display banner advertising. Google’s User Messaging Platform is used to check whether a consent or privacy-options message is required and whether advertising requests are permitted.

Depending on your device, region, settings and consent choices, Google’s advertising services may process information including:

• IP address and approximate general location;
• device, app-set, advertising or account-related identifiers;
• app launches, taps and other app or advertisement interactions;
• diagnostic and performance information; and
• information used for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention.

Advertising choices can be reviewed through the privacy-options entry in the app when Google requires that option to be available. Android also provides device-level advertising controls.

Advertising is not requested after the app recognises that the Remove Ads entitlement is owned.

App analytics and crash reporting

The release version of The Infinite uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used and Firebase Crashlytics to identify and diagnose unexpected crashes and reliability problems.

Google Analytics may automatically process app lifecycle and session events, in-app purchase events, general device and app information, approximate location derived from network information, and pseudonymous identifiers such as an app-instance ID. The Infinite also records a small fixed set of feature-use events, such as whether onboarding was completed or a reveal, save, share or Remove Ads action occurred. These custom events contain no custom parameters or user-entered content.

Firebase Crashlytics may process crash stack traces, relevant app state, device, operating-system and app information, and pseudonymous installation identifiers. Because Google Analytics is present, Crashlytics may also receive breadcrumb events showing app actions immediately before a crash.

JCapps Digital does not deliberately send your private question, journal text, passage text, book or source title, author, or a free-text user ID to Google Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics. The app does not add custom Crashlytics logs or custom keys containing user content.

Website analytics and advertising measurement

The Infinite website uses Google Analytics, the Reddit Pixel and the Pinterest Tag to measure page visits, selected link clicks and paid campaign attribution. These services may use cookies or similar technologies and process technical information such as IP address, browser or device information, page address, referring page, campaign parameters and interaction events.

JCapps Digital does not provide these website tags with the private question you hold in your mind, journal text or your testing email address. Enhanced-match email data and server-side conversion APIs are not configured for this website experiment.

5. Google Play purchases

The Infinite offers a one-time Remove Ads purchase through Google Play. Google processes payment and purchase information under its own terms and privacy practices.

The app receives purchase status information needed to complete, recognise or restore the entitlement. JCapps Digital does not receive your complete payment-card details.

6. Pre-release testing

Pre-release testing is currently self-service. Before accessing the testing instructions, testers provide an email address to JCapps Digital. That address is used to administer the early test, send reasonable testing or feedback reminders, identify feedback submissions and maintain records for the early-tester reward. Tester email addresses are not automatically added to a general marketing list.

Android testers then join The Infinite Early Testers Google Group and opt into the closed test through Google Play. iPhone and iPad testers join through Apple's TestFlight service.

Google and Apple may process account, device, installation and testing information needed to provide access to the testing versions and operate their testing services. That information is handled under their own privacy policies.

If you submit beta feedback, the information collected may include your tester email address, platform, feedback or comments, and the date and time of submission. This information is used for beta testing, product improvement, early-tester administration and reward eligibility.

7. Service providers

Information may be processed by service providers only as needed to operate, secure, distribute or administer The Infinite. These include:

• Google Firebase, including Cloud Functions, Firebase App Check, Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics;
• Google Mobile Ads and the User Messaging Platform;
• Google Analytics for website measurement;
• Google Play and Google Play Billing;
• Google Groups for closed-test access;
• Reddit and Pinterest for website advertising measurement;
• Cloudflare for website and corpus hosting or delivery; and

These services may process data in Australia or other countries where they or their infrastructure operate.

8. Sharing and sale of information

JCapps Digital does not sell your submitted personal information.

Information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to operate the app, comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect users, investigate misuse or defend legal rights.

Advertising providers may treat certain transfers for personalised advertising as “sharing” under some privacy laws. Applicable choices are presented through Google’s consent and privacy systems where required.

9. Retention

Local app information remains on your device until you delete it, delete app data or uninstall the app, subject to device and store backup behaviour.

Early-testing and contact information is retained only for as long as reasonably needed to administer testing, communicate about The Infinite, maintain reward records, meet legal obligations or resolve disputes. You may request deletion of information controlled by JCapps Digital.

Third-party providers retain information according to their own policies and legal obligations.

10. Security

JCapps Digital uses reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the information handled. Network communications use encrypted HTTPS connections where supported.

No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Your choices and requests

You may:

• avoid writing journal entries or saving passages;
• delete local user data within the app;
• review available advertising privacy choices;
• reset or delete your Android advertising identifier;
• decline to submit an early-tester form; or
• ask to access, correct or delete personal information controlled by JCapps Digital.

Requests can be sent to contact@jcappsdigital.com . We may need enough information to identify the relevant record and verify the request.

12. Children

The Infinite is not designed or directed specifically to children. JCapps Digital does not knowingly ask children to submit personal information through the app.

13. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when The Infinite’s features, providers or legal obligations change. The current version will remain available at this address and will show its latest revision date.
