Privacy policy

• Your account. Your name and email address, and a profile photo if your Google or Apple account shares one. If you sign up with email, we store your password only as a salted hash. If you use Hide My Email with Apple, we only ever see the relay address.
• Your game. Your picks, points, streaks and badges, the leagues you join or run, head-to-head challenges, your display name, timezone and settings.
• What you send us. Feedback from the feedback page and anything you email to hello@minimacro.app.
• Push notifications. If you turn them on, the push address your browser creates for that device, or on iPhone the device token Apple's push service gives the app. Nothing else about the device.
• Usage. Pages and screens viewed, features used, errors, browser or device type and system version, and on the website an approximate location worked out from your IP address. We collect this with PostHog. It stays anonymous until you sign up; after that it is linked to your account.
• Payments. If you chip in, Stripe handles the payment. We receive the amount, your email and whether it went through. We never see your card number.

• Your display name, points and rank on the public board and in your leagues.
• Your picks, to members of your leagues once a print locks, or before it if your league's commissioner turns that on.
• Your guess in a head-to-head challenge, to your opponent once the print locks.
• Crowd views, which show the spread of everyone's guesses, are anonymous: numbers only, never names.

Your email address is never shown to other players.

The app collects the same account and game data as the website, and nothing more:

• You sign in with Apple or with an email address. Apple shares your name and email with us only the first time, and only if you allow it; if you choose Hide My Email, we only see the relay address.
• Your sign-in is kept in the iPhone's Keychain so you stay signed in, and your settings stay on the device.
• The app tells PostHog which screens and features you use, the app and iOS version, and a random identifier it creates the first time it opens (a new one after you sign out). It does not use your device's advertising identifier, does not work out your location, and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
• Notifications arrive only if you allow them, and you can turn them off any time in iPhone Settings. The device token is used only to send you Mini Macro notifications; we delete it when you sign out, delete your account or remove the app.
• The Home Screen widget shows the public economy grade and the next release. It loads public data only and sends nothing about you.
• You can delete your account in the app from the Me tab.

To run the game (locking picks at release time, scoring them, building standings), to send the emails and notifications you asked for, to keep accounts secure, and to fix bugs and decide what to build next. We do not sell your data, we do not show ads, and we do not share your data with advertisers.

Weekly league recaps and the short primers before each release are written by Claude, an AI model from Anthropic. For a recap we send that week's results, point totals and players' display names; never email addresses or account details. Anthropic processes this only to write the text and, under its commercial terms, does not use it to train its models. AI never decides lines, actual numbers or scores.

Cloudflare (hosting, the database and email forwarding), PostHog (analytics and error tracking), Resend (email), Anthropic (recaps and primers), Stripe (optional payments on the website), Google and Apple (sign-in, if you use them), and Apple's push notification service (notifications on iPhone). Each handles data for us under its own privacy terms. Economic and market data comes from public sources and involves no personal data.

On the website, a cookie keeps you signed in, PostHog stores an analytics identifier in your browser, and your light or dark theme choice is kept there too. In the iPhone app, your sign-in is kept in the Keychain and the app's analytics identifier and settings on the device. There are no advertising cookies or identifiers.

Account emails (verifying your address, resetting a password) always arrive. Game emails (a reminder the evening before a print you have not called, and the weekly league recap) are on by default and can be turned off in Settings. Push notifications only arrive if you turn them on, device by device, and turning them off takes one tap.

For as long as your account is open. When you delete your account, we delete your profile, picks, scores, badges, league memberships, challenges and push subscriptions right away. Leagues you run pass to the member who joined earliest, or are deleted if you were the only member. Feedback you sent stays, without your name or email attached. Payment records stay with Stripe for as long as the law requires. Past analytics events stay in PostHog unless you ask us to erase them.

• Change your display name, emails and notifications in Settings.
• Delete your account from Settings on the website or the Me tab in the app. It takes effect immediately.
• Ask for a copy of your data, or for your analytics history to be erased, by writing to hello@minimacro.app. We answer within 30 days.

Mini Macro is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has signed up, write to hello@minimacro.app and we will delete the account.

When this policy changes we update this page and the date at the top. If a change matters, we will also say so in the product or by email.
