Detoxmina
How we process your data, what information we collect, and what rights you have on the website and inside the app.
At Detoxmina, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, what we use it for, who we share it with, and what rights you have. It is written so you can understand exactly how we process your information, with special attention to the restrictions imposed by Apple and Google on their systems.
Detoxmina is a digital detox and wellbeing app that helps you measure and control your mobile phone usage in a social and gamified way, competing in challenges with your friends. This policy also applies to the website and its waitlist.
If you have any questions about privacy or want to exercise your rights, you can write to us at that address.
We only collect the data needed for the app to work and to offer its social and challenge features. We group it into the following categories:
Account and profile data. Nickname, automatically generated internal account identifier, email address, time zone, and profile picture (if you choose to upload one). This data lets us create your profile, show it to other users, and run the social features.
Device and notification data. Device identifier, model, operating system, app version, and push notification token. We use this data to send you notifications, ensure technical compatibility, and keep the app running properly.
Challenge progress metrics. Information about your participation and the metrics needed to rank each challenge. We do not collect raw device usage; the details are explained in section 4.
Social data. Friend requests and relationships, participation in challenges, and stats from your matchups with other users (wins, draws, losses, streaks, and recent history).
In-app activity data. Your learning progress in the Science module (content viewed, learning paths, and streaks) and other product progress data.
Waitlist data. If you request beta access through the website, we collect your name, email address, and mobile platform to manage your request and notify you about access.
We do not collect GPS location data, contacts, messages, calls, photos from your gallery (except for the profile picture you voluntarily upload), audio, or biometrics. The step count described in section 4 is health data; we do not access medical records or any other categories of health data.
We process your data for the following purposes:
Health data (steps), when you take part in a challenge that uses them, is processed on the basis of your explicit consent when you grant the relevant permission on your device. You can revoke that consent at any time in your system settings.
We design challenges to minimize the data that leaves your device. Android and iOS follow the same principle: selected apps, their tokens, and raw usage remain on your device.
On iOS and Android. App selection and any usage data needed to assess the challenge are processed locally. We do not send selected apps, their identifiers, their tokens, or raw usage time outside your device, and we do not try to infer them.
We only sync Detoxmina-generated metrics that make the challenge possible: in Usage limit, whether you meet the daily limit; in App lock, the time you have requested through breaks. Requested time does not necessarily match app usage time.
Step data (health). Step challenges operate under a different framework. With your permission, we read your daily step count through Apple HealthKit (iOS) or Health Connect (Android), and we do sync that data with our servers because it is necessary to rank the challenge. We only use the step count; we do not access other health data.
We do not sell your data or disclose it to third parties for advertising or commercial purposes. We do not use advertising identifiers (such as IDFA), we do not track you across apps, and we do not share information with data brokers.
We only share data in these cases:
If any data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that it happens with the appropriate safeguards required by the GDPR (such as the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission).
We keep your data while you have an active account and while it is needed for the purposes described above. If you delete your account or request erasure, we will delete your information within a maximum of 30 days, unless we must keep some data to comply with a legal obligation.
We keep waitlist data until we grant you access, you withdraw your request, or the beta ends. In all cases, we review and delete records that remain inactive 12 months after registration. If you withdraw your request, we will delete your waitlist data within a maximum of 30 days.
You may exercise your rights at any time to:
To exercise them, withdraw your waitlist request, or stop receiving access communications, write to us at hola@detoxmina.com with the subject line "Data Protection". You can also manage system permissions (app usage, health, notifications) directly in your device settings.
If you believe we have not respected your rights, you may file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) at www.aepd.es.
Reducing the data we collect is one of our measures to limit risks. We also apply technical and organizational measures to protect the information we process against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.
Detoxmina is not intended for users below the minimum age required in your country. If we detect that we have collected data from a minor without the appropriate consent, we will delete it.
We may update this policy to adapt to legal changes or service improvements. We will publish any change on this same page together with its update date.
