Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 24/9/2025
Mathani (the "App") is committed to protecting your privacy. Mathani (referred to as "we", "us" or the "Data Controller") collects, uses, discloses and safeguards your personal information in compliance with applicable laws. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices for the Mathani mobile application. It applies to all users of the App, including residents of the EU and California, and incorporates the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Definitions
For clarity, "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. "Processing" means any operation performed on Personal Data, whether automated or not, including collecting, recording, storing, using, or erasing data. "Data Controller" refers to the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data (in this case, Mathani), and "Data Processor" means an entity that processes Personal Data on behalf of the controller. A "Data Subject" is an individual whose Personal Data is processed under this Policy.
Data We Collect
We collect and process Personal Data in order to operate the App and deliver the requested services. The categories of Personal Data we collect include:
• Account Information: When you register or log into Mathani (e.g. using Clerk), we collect identifiers such as your name, email address, username, and password. This information is used to create and manage your account and authenticate your identity.
• Location Data: With your consent (via device permissions), we may collect precise or approximate location data (e.g. GPS coordinates) while you use the App. This is used to provide location-based features and improve the service.
• Device and Usage Data: We automatically collect technical information about your device and how you use the App. This includes your IP address, device type and model, operating system version, app version, language, and usage analytics (such as pages or features accessed, session duration, crash reports, etc.). This data helps us maintain and improve App performance and security.
• Analytics Data: We use third-party analytics tools (such as Mixpanel and Microsoft Clarity) to collect aggregate and non-identifying information about App usage patterns. These services may collect data like user interactions, clicks, and engagement metrics. IP address and anonymized device identifiers may be collected to analyze trends.
All of the above categories constitute Personal Data because they relate to you as an identifiable individual (e.g. by username or device).
Use of Information
We use your Personal Data for the following purposes:
• Providing and Personalizing Services: To create and manage your account, authenticate you when you log in, send you service-related communications (such as account confirmations, updates, and technical notices), and to personalize your experience in the App.
• App Functionality: To operate and improve the core functionality of Mathani, including storing your progress, preferences, and in-app data. This includes using location data (if provided) to enable location-based features and to comply with any applicable legal or contractual obligations.
• Analytics and Development: To analyze how the App is used (via Mixpanel, Microsoft Clarity, etc.) in order to improve features, fix bugs, measure usage trends, and optimize performance. We aggregate usage data for internal analytics and do not use it to identify individual users without consent.
• Legal and Security Compliance: To enforce our Terms of Service, detect and prevent fraud or security breaches, and comply with applicable laws and regulations (for example, responding to lawful requests from public authorities or to protect our rights and those of others).
Under the GDPR, we only process Personal Data when we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases include: (a) Consent, where you have explicitly agreed to certain processing activities (such as providing location data or marketing emails); (b) Performance of a Contract, when processing is necessary to provide the App and its features (e.g. creating your account or fulfilling services you request); (c) Legal Obligation, when we must process data to comply with laws (for example, tax or accounting regulations); and (d) Legitimate Interests, for our own or third parties' interests that do not override your rights (for example, improving our service, securing our systems, or preventing fraud).
For example, using your email to send you a password reset is necessary for contract performance, analyzing aggregate usage to improve the App is a legitimate interest, and processing location data requires your consent. We will always obtain consent where required and inform you of the purposes in advance.
Sharing of Information
We will not sell your Personal Data. However, we may share Personal Data with third-party service providers (acting as Data Processors) in order to provide or improve our services. Examples include:
• Supabase: We use Supabase as our backend database and hosting provider. Supabase processes data on our behalf and stores it securely.
• Clerk: We use Clerk for user authentication services. Clerk processes your account credentials and profile data on our behalf to manage login and authentication.
• Mixpanel: We use Mixpanel for in-app analytics. Mixpanel collects usage data (such as events, timestamps, and device info) to provide us with analytics dashboards.
• Microsoft Clarity: We use Microsoft Clarity to analyze user interactions (such as clicks and session recordings) for UX improvements. Clarity is a GDPR- and CCPA-compliant analytics tool and operates under Microsoft's privacy policies.
These third parties act only on our instructions and are contractually bound to keep your data confidential and use it solely to perform the agreed services. For instance, their privacy notices explain that they will only use personal data to provide their services and will not disclose it except as required by law or contract. We also share information as required by law, such as to respond to a subpoena or to protect legal rights, and we may share aggregated or anonymized data that does not identify any individual.
International Data Transfers
Mathani's servers and third-party services are primarily located in the United States. If you are an EU user or otherwise outside the U.S., please note that transferring data internationally may occur. We take steps to ensure that any transfer of Personal Data to countries outside your jurisdiction complies with applicable law. For example, data transfers from the EU to the U.S. are governed by the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms. We and our providers also adhere to any applicable adequacy decisions or privacy frameworks. In essence, while the protection level may vary by country, we implement safeguards (such as encryption and contractual guarantees) to keep your data secure during and after transfer.
Data Retention
We retain Personal Data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Once data is no longer needed (for example, after account deletion or expiration of a retention period), we securely delete or anonymize it. In practice, this means we keep account and service data for as long as your account is active, plus any additional period needed to comply with legal or security obligations.
Security Measures
Mathani implements appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your Personal Data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These include using encryption, access controls, secure software development practices, and regular security assessments. We also use industry-standard security protocols when transmitting data. However, no system is entirely foolproof. If a data breach occurs, we will notify affected users and authorities in accordance with legal requirements.
Your Rights
You have certain rights regarding your Personal Data under applicable privacy laws. We respect these rights and facilitate their exercise:
• EU Data Subject Rights: If you reside in the European Union, you have rights under the GDPR including the right to access your personal data, to rectify inaccurate data, to request deletion ("right to be forgotten"), to restrict processing, to obtain a copy of your data in a portable format, and to object to certain types of processing. You may also withdraw consent at any time (for processing based on consent) and lodge a complaint with an EU data protection authority.
• California Privacy Rights: If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA including the right to know what Personal Information we have collected about you and how it is used and shared, to request deletion of your Personal Information, to correct inaccurate Personal Information, and to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. (Mathani does not sell personal information as that term is defined by law, but you may exercise the right to opt-out if we ever offer data sharing.) You also have the right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights.
To exercise your rights or ask questions, please contact us at partners@mathani.com. We will respond to your request in accordance with the law (for example, within one month under the GDPR). In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before taking action on a request.
Children's Privacy
Mathani is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from anyone under 13 without parental consent. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without parental permission, we will promptly delete such data. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has used the App, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date and provide notice (for example, within the App or via email) before the changes take effect. Your continued use of Mathani after such updates signifies your acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
