Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 9, 2026

jumble buddy is developed by Helvella Studios. This policy describes what data we collect and how we use it.

What we collect

Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address. This is stored by Firebase Authentication (Google) and used solely to authenticate you.

Usage quota. Each time you unjumble your thoughts, we record a count and timestamp server-side to enforce monthly and per-minute usage limits. We store your subscription tier (free or pro), your monthly unjumble count, and the timestamps of recent requests. This is associated with your account.

Your thoughts. The thoughts you type or dictate are stored only on your device and are never stored in the cloud.

How your thoughts are processed

When you tap "Unjumble," the text of your thoughts is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate a response. Only the plain text is transmitted -- no device information, identifiers, or metadata. Helvella Studios does not log, store, or retain this text on any server. Google's use of this data is governed by their Generative AI Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

What we do not collect

• We do not collect your location.
• We do not collect device identifiers or hardware information.
• We do not sell your data to third parties.
• We do not use your thoughts for advertising or model training.

Third-party services

• Firebase Authentication (Google) -- account sign-in
• Firebase Cloud Functions (Google) -- server-side request processing and quota enforcement
• Google Gemini API -- AI text processing
