## 1. Overview & Commitment

Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. Mod Verity for Minecraft ("we", "our", or "the Application") is built following Apple's privacy guidelines and strict data minimization standards. You can freely explore the catalog without creating an account or sharing personal details.

## 2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Mod Verity does not collect, sell, or rent personal data. Specifically, we DO NOT collect:

- Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as full name, email address, physical address, or phone number.

- Device contacts, address books, photos, or media libraries.

- Precise GPS location data.

- Financial, payment, or credit card details.

- Cross-app tracking identifiers (we do not track your activity across third-party apps or websites).

## 3. Local Storage on Your Device

All your customized settings, bookmarks, and saved favorite mods are stored strictly locally on your device using native Apple iOS storage frameworks (SwiftData / UserDefaults). This data never leaves your device and is never uploaded to any remote private cloud or external server.

## 4. Network Communications & Public Catalog Data

To provide up-to-date information on mods, modpacks, and resource packs, the Application connects to public catalog endpoints via secure HTTPS. These network requests only transmit standard browsing parameters (such as search keywords, categories, and page indexes) to retrieve public information. No personal credentials or device fingerprints are attached to these requests.

## 5. Third-Party Services & Advertising

The Application may utilize trusted industry-standard SDKs to support its development:

- **Public Catalog Providers (CurseForge / Overwolf):** To retrieve publicly available mod descriptions, changelogs, images, and download metrics.

- **Google AdMob (Mobile Ads):** If advertisements are displayed, Google AdMob may collect non-sensitive device data (such as advertising IDs, diagnostic logs, and approximate device metrics) to serve contextual ads in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy and Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework.

- **Apple App Store:** Standard anonymous crash logs, app installation telemetry, and performance diagnostics provided directly by Apple iOS if you have opted in to share diagnostics with developers.

## 6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Mod Verity does not knowingly collect or solicit any personal information from children under the age of 13. Because no account registration or personal information submission is possible within the Application, our service is fully compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and equivalent international regulations.

## 7. User Data Control & Deletion

You have full ownership and control over your data:

- You can delete any saved mod or favorite directly within the app at any time.

- You can completely wipe all locally cached data and saved bookmarks by simply uninstalling the Application from your device.

## 8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated effective date.
