Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2, 2026
In short: Mesada stores the minimum your family needs to run an allowance: names, missions, amounts and savings goals. It never asks for bank accounts or cards, never moves money, shows no ads, tracks nobody and sells nothing. Children do not create accounts or give an email: they join with a code an adult at home gives them. You can delete the whole family from Settings at any time.
1. Who is responsible
Mesada is an app by Artifaze, based in Guatemala. For anything about your data, write to support@artifaze.com.
2. What Mesada is and who uses it
Mesada helps a family organize their children's allowance: missions, rewards, savings and money habits. An adult creates the family and is responsible for it. Children take part under that adult's supervision: they join with a family code and a key the adult gives them, with no account, no email and no password.
Mesada is not a bank or a financial service. It stores no accounts, cards or payment data, and it moves no money. The amounts you see are a record of agreements your family makes at home; real money is handed over in cash, as always.
3. What we store
About the family: the family name, the currency you use, your level and the worlds you have earned.
About adults: the name they show in the app and their relationship to the children. If an adult chooses to save the family to their Apple account, we receive the identifier Apple gives us and, only if the adult shares it, their name and email (Apple may provide a relay address instead of the real one).
About children: their first name or nickname, their birthday or age, a drawn avatar (never a photo of their face), their missions and when they complete them, their balances and transactions, their savings goals, streaks and level.
Mission evidence photos (a Mesada Plus feature): the photo is stored on the phone where it was taken, excluded from backups, and deleted once the mission is approved or sent back. If your family uses several devices, the photo is uploaded to our storage only so the adult can see it from their phone, and it is deleted the same way.
About the subscription: if your family has Mesada Plus, which plan and until when. Apple processes the purchase; we never see your payment method.
Technical data: to work, the cloud service we use logs basic connection data such as IP address and a device identifier. We use no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking kits.
4. What we use it for
- To make the app work: show missions, keep balances, sync across your family's devices.
- To show adults their children's money habits. Those calculations come from your own family's transactions and are shown only to the adults of that family.
- To recover the family when an adult saved it to their Apple account and changes phones.
- To answer you when you write to us.
We do not use the data for advertising, we do not sell it, we do not hand it to third parties for their own purposes, and we build no profiles outside your family.
5. Where the data lives
Family data is stored in Firebase, a Google Cloud service acting as our processor. Its servers may be outside your country, including the United States. Google does not use this data for its own purposes. Everything travels encrypted, and access rules ensure only your family's devices can read or write your family.
6. How long we keep it
As long as your family exists in Mesada. When an adult deletes the family from Settings, the cloud data is removed; backups are purged within 30 days at most. Evidence photos are deleted as soon as the mission is approved.
7. Children's privacy
Mesada is designed for children of any age, from young kids to teenagers and young adults living at home, to use with a responsible adult. That is why minors create no accounts, give no email or phone number, have no chat with strangers, see no ads and receive no external links. We keep only what their allowance needs, and the adult can see, correct and delete everything about their children from the app. If you believe we have received a child's data without adult supervision, write to us and we will delete it.
8. Your rights
You can ask us to access your family's data, correct it, delete it or receive a copy. Most of this you can do yourself from the app; for the rest, write to support@artifaze.com and we will answer within a reasonable time, normally under 30 days.
9. Security
Data travels encrypted. Cloud access is restricted by rules to the members of each family. On the phone, the adult area is protected by a PIN the adult chooses. No measure is infallible; if we detected an incident affecting your family, we would let you know.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change anything important, we will publish it here with an updated date and, when needed, let you know in the app.
