This policy explains what MOT collects when you use the MOT app (iPhone, Android), the website n0tmot.com and the Windows desktop app, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. MOT is operated by Mohammad Otaqi, an individual developer based in Amman, Jordan ("MOT", "we", "us"). Contact: n0tmot.co@gmail.com.
1. Information you give us
Account: email address, username and password (stored only as a secure hash). If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your account identifier and the email the provider shares (with Apple this can be a private relay address).
Profile: display name, avatar, bio, pronouns, the games you play, your ranks, platforms, play style, whether you use a mic, and gamer handles you choose to add (Riot ID, Xbox gamertag, PSN ID).
Linked Steam account (optional): your Steam ID, and from Steam your public profile, games and what you're currently playing.
Content you create: posts, comments, reactions, images and clips, voice intro recordings, soundboard sounds, direct messages and squad (server) messages.
Activity in Find Partners: who you liked or passed on, matches, follows and blocks.
Support and AI Coach: messages you send to our support chat and to the AI Coach, which we keep so you can see your history.
Purchases: what you bought (MOT Pro, coin packs), when, and its status. Card and bank details are handled by the store or payment provider and never reach us.
Security: if you turn on two-factor authentication, an encrypted authenticator secret and hashed backup codes.
2. Information collected automatically
Device and diagnostics: crash reports and app performance data (Firebase Crashlytics and Performance), device type and app version.
Usage: which features you use (Firebase Analytics), linked to your account ID.
Presence: whether you're online and, if you allow it, which game you're playing. The Windows app can detect the game you're running only if you turn on "Auto-detect game activity" (off by default).
Push notifications: a device token so we can send you notifications you've allowed.
Logs: IP address and basic request information in our server logs, used for security and to fix problems.
Advertising identifiers: on iPhone, only if you allow tracking when the app asks (Apple's App Tracking Transparency); on Android, your advertising ID, which you can reset or limit in your phone's settings.
We do not collect your precise location. Our ad partner may estimate your general region from your IP address.
3. How we use it
To run MOT: your account, profile, matching you with players by game and rank, messaging, squads, voice calls, the feed, the store and quests.
To keep MOT safe: preventing spam and abuse, enforcing our Community Guidelines, handling reports, blocks and bans, and securing accounts.
To provide support and answer your questions.
To process purchases and give you MOT Pro or coins you paid for.
To understand and improve MOT through analytics, crash reports and performance data.
To show ads to users without MOT Pro (see section 5).
To comply with the law and respond to lawful requests.
4. AI Coach (third-party AI)
The AI Coach is powered by Google Gemini. When you use it, we send Google the messages you type to the coach together with your games, top Steam games, play style and whether you use a mic, so it can answer. The app asks for your permission before the first message, and nothing is sent if you decline. Google processes this data under its Gemini API terms; depending on the plan in use, Google may also use it to improve its services. Please don't share passwords or other private information with the coach.
Our in-app support assistant uses the same service to draft answers to support messages; a human can take over any conversation. When a support question is resolved, the question and answer may become a help article that other users can see, but only after we have reviewed it and removed anything personal.
5. Advertising
Users without MOT Pro see ads from Google AdMob in the apps and Google AdSense on our public web pages (never inside the signed-in web app). Google may use cookies, your advertising identifier and your general location to show and measure ads, and to personalise them where you've allowed it. On iPhone, ads are personalised only if you allow tracking; you can change this anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. You can also manage Google ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com. MOT Pro removes ads.
6. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. Other MOT users see what you choose to make public (your profile, posts, games and ranks, and messages you send them). We share data only with service providers that run MOT for us:
Hetzner — cloud servers that host our database, files, voice server and backups.
Google Firebase — sign-in, file storage for photos, clips and voice messages, push notifications, crash reports, analytics, performance monitoring and encrypted off-site database backups.
Google AdMob and AdSense — advertising (section 5).
Google Gemini — the AI Coach and support assistant (section 4).
YouTube (Google) — video guides in the AI Coach show YouTube thumbnails and open videos on YouTube; YouTube receives your IP address and device information when they load.
Apple App Store and Google Play — in-app purchases; RevenueCat — tracks which subscriptions are active.
Polar — payments on our website and desktop app, acting as merchant of record.
Cloudflare — DNS and network security for n0tmot.com.
Valve (Steam) and Riot Games — only if you link Steam or add a Riot ID, to verify your account or look up your public profile and rank.
Authorities — when the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our users.
Voice and video calls run on our own servers and are not recorded or stored.
7. How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account exists.
You can delete your account anytime in the app (Settings → Delete Account) or on the website (n0tmot.com/delete-account). Your profile is anonymised and hidden immediately and your web account is deleted. Your sign-in record, posts and comments are permanently erased 30 days later (the delay protects against mistaken or malicious deletions), and copies in our database backups expire within a further 30 days.
Some records may be kept longer where the law requires it, for example purchase and tax records held by the store or payment provider.
Server logs are kept for a short period for security and troubleshooting.
8. Your rights and choices
Access, correct or export your data, or ask us to delete it. Most of this you can do yourself in your profile and settings; for anything else email n0tmot.co@gmail.com and we'll answer within 30 days.
Withdraw consent anytime — for example tracking (iPhone Settings), push notifications (device settings), game auto-detect (desktop settings) or the AI Coach (stop using it and delete your coach chats).
If you live in the EU, UK or another region with data-protection laws, you may also object to or restrict some processing and complain to your local data-protection authority. We process data to provide the service you signed up for, with your consent where we ask for it, and for our legitimate interests in keeping MOT secure and improving it.
California residents: we do not sell or share personal information for money; you can request access or deletion as above.
9. Security
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), hashed passwords, encrypted two-factor secrets, access controls on our servers and regular backups. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and turn on two-factor authentication.
10. International transfers
MOT is run from Jordan and our providers operate in several countries, including the EU and the United States. Your data may be processed outside your country, with the safeguards those providers offer.
11. Children
MOT is for people aged 13 and older. If you are below the age of digital consent in your country (up to 16 in some EU countries), you need a parent or guardian's permission. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13; if we learn we have, we delete the account. Parents can contact us at n0tmot.co@gmail.com.
12. Changes
We'll update this page when our practices change and change the date at the top. For significant changes we'll also let you know in the app or by email.
