SlushIQ Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

1. Introduction

SlushIQ (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you:

use the SlushIQ mobile application (iOS or Android)
visit our website or support pages
participate in our online communities

SlushIQ is designed primarily as an offline frozen-drink calculator and recipe tool. We intentionally collect as little information as possible, and we never sell user data.

By using SlushIQ, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

SlushIQ collects very limited information, and only when needed to operate the app or respond to inquiries.

2.1 Information You Provide

Email address (only if you voluntarily contact us or subscribe)
Bug reports or feedback you intentionally submit

SlushIQ does not require an account and does not store personal information on servers.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

Device model, OS version
App version
Anonymous performance/crash logs (via Apple/Google)
Diagnostics if you opt in at the OS level

This information is anonymous and cannot identify you.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

Names, addresses, or contact info
Payment information
Precise location
Contacts or photos
Recipe entries, ingredient lists, mix logs
Any personal identifiers

All SlushIQ calculations run locally on your device.

3. How We Use Information

Improve app performance
Fix bugs or diagnose crashes
Respond to support emails
Send optional updates if you opted in

We do not sell or share your data with advertisers or third parties.

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Apple App Store & Google Play Services

Used for app distribution, crash reporting, and anonymous analytics.

4.2 Formspree (Email Submissions)

Used for secure email forwarding if you sign up on our website.

4.3 OpenAI API (Brixley Chat)

Brixley Chat uses OpenAI’s API to interpret ingredient descriptions. Only the text you type is transmitted — never personal identifiers, device IDs, accounts, or payment data.

OpenAI does not use API data to train models.

4.4 No Advertising SDKs

SlushIQ contains no ads, trackers, or profiling tools.

5. Data Retention

Email submissions: kept only as long as needed
Crash logs: retained by Apple/Google (typically 30–90 days)

6. Data Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, but no digital system is completely secure.

7. Children’s Privacy

SlushIQ is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

8. Your Rights

You may request:

Access to your data
Deletion of any stored email submissions
Removal from communications

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be reflected with a new “Last Updated” date.
