Rattle Verdict — Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 26, 2026
The Rattle Verdict Android app is built by MindGap Technologies LLC, a small studio in San Antonio, Texas. The app pretends to scan a wrapped gift: press your phone against the box, shake it, and a joke verdict is stamped on screen (it cannot actually see inside the box). This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your data. It covers the Rattle Verdict app only; for the mindgap.tech website, see our general privacy policy.
Data collection and sharing
We do not collect, transmit, store, or sell any personal data. The app has no accounts, no sign-in, and no analytics, and we receive nothing about you.
The only thing the app keeps on your device is a flag noting that you have already seen the first-run instructions. It is not information about you. We never receive any of it, and the app itself sends it nowhere. If Android's own backup is turned on for your phone, the system may include it in your device backup or carry it to a new phone, under your Google account settings; we have no access to that backup.
How your data is processed
While you shake, the app reads your phone's motion sensor (accelerometer) to animate the scan and pick the joke verdict. Those readings are processed in memory on your device, used only for the current scan, and then discarded. They are never stored or transmitted. The app does not use the microphone or the camera.
The app vibrates to simulate the scanner, which is why it requests the vibration permission. It also declares Android's high-sampling-rate sensors permission so the motion sensor can be read quickly enough to follow a shake; that permission grants no access to any data about you and shows no prompt. It requests nothing else.
Network activity
The app performs no network activity and does not request internet access at all; it works entirely offline.
If you choose to share your verdict card, the app hands the image to the Android share sheet, and the app you pick there delivers it. We never see the card, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you decide to share it.
Advertising and analytics
The app shows no advertising and contains no third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs. It does not build a profile of you and does not track you across apps or sites.
Accounts
There is no account and no sign-in. Every feature works without providing any personal information.
Children's privacy
This is a general-audience utility. It is not directed at children, does not knowingly collect any information from children, and — because it collects no personal data — has nothing to collect from users of any age.
Changes
If the app's data practices ever change, this policy will be updated first, with a new effective date. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
