Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Demerzel Studio LLC ("Demerzel Studio", "we", "us") publishes Ânimo, a mobile app that delivers daily motivational quotes. This policy explains what Ânimo collects, what it doesn't, and where the data that is collected goes. It covers the Ânimo app only — the Demerzel Studio website privacy policy is a separate document.

2. What Ânimo collects

Ânimo has no backend of its own: there is no Ânimo server, no user account, and no login. The app works fully offline for reading, saving, and organizing quotes. The only data leaving your device is described in Section 4 (services we use) and Section 5 (support messages). Usage statistics never include your name, email address, or the text of any quote. The only time Ânimo receives an email address is when you type one into a support or feedback message so we can reply.

3. What stays on your device

Everything you do inside Ânimo — your favorites, your preferences, any quotes you write yourself, and your daily streak — is stored locally on your device, in an on-device key-value store (MMKV). None of it is uploaded, synced to a server, or visible to us. If you delete the app, this data is deleted with it. Widgets read this same on-device data through the operating system's app-group storage; nothing about it leaves the device either.

4. Services we use

Ânimo uses a small number of services, each limited to a specific purpose:

• RevenueCat — manages the Ânimo Plus subscription. It receives an anonymous, app-generated user identifier and transaction data from the App Store or Google Play (purchase, renewal, cancellation, entitlement status) needed to unlock premium features. It does not receive your name or email address. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
• Pulso: our own usage analytics tool, run by Demerzel Studio on servers we rent from Railway. It records app usage events (for example, which screen was opened or which onboarding step was reached) with platform, app version, language, and an estimated country, tied to a random install identifier. It does not receive your name, email address, or the text of any quote, and it does not use advertising identifiers. Your IP address is never stored: it is used to estimate your country and, to limit abuse, a code derived from it is kept for up to 24 hours. You can turn usage statistics off at any time in Ajustes (Settings) inside the app. Pulso also stores the support messages described in Section 5.
• Sentry: crash reports, so we can fix errors. They contain technical details about the crash (device model, operating system, app version) and never your name, email address, or the text of any quote. See Sentry's privacy policy.
• Cloudflare: delivers support messages to our inbox by email and sends our replies. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
• Apple — if you subscribe through the App Store, Apple processes the payment and manages your subscription under its own privacy policy. We do not see your payment details.
• Google — if you subscribe through Google Play, Google processes the payment and manages your subscription under its own privacy policy. We do not see your payment details.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

5. Support messages

When you write to us from "Falar com o suporte" (Contact support) in Ajustes, or answer the feedback question that Ânimo sometimes shows, the app sends the text you typed and, if you entered one, your email address. The support form asks for an email so we can reply; in the feedback question it is optional. The message is tied to the same random install identifier described in Section 4. We use it only to read and answer your message. Messages are kept for up to 90 days and then deleted. They are also deleted when you use "Apagar meus dados de uso" (Delete my usage data) in Ajustes.

6. Notifications

Ânimo's daily quote reminders are local notifications, scheduled directly on your device by the app itself. There is no push-notification server: no third party is notified when a reminder fires, and no notification content is sent anywhere. You control notifications through your device's system settings and through Ajustes inside the app.

7. Photo library

When you choose to save a quote as an image (for example, to share it), Ânimo asks for permission to write to your photo library and saves that one image. Ânimo does not read, browse, or access any other photo or file in your library, and this permission is never used to collect data.

8. Children

Ânimo is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the app has no accounts, there is no profile of any user, child or adult, for us to hold.

9. Your rights

Because your favorites, preferences, and streak live only on your device, you can already see, export (via sharing), and delete them yourself — deleting the app deletes them. To delete the usage statistics and support messages tied to your device, use "Apagar meus dados de uso" (Delete my usage data) in Ajustes; this removes them from our servers. For anything else described in Section 4, contact us at the address below; we'll need enough detail (such as the approximate date and platform, or the email you used in a support message) to locate it.

11. Changes to this policy

If we materially change how Ânimo handles data, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. This document is versioned in source control, so the full history is auditable.
