Mochi Divorce Legal

Privacy Policy

Last updated 9 September 2026

The short version. The app asks five questions so its figures mean something — which state, whether there are children, and so on — and those answers never leave your phone. They are kept in the encrypted store on your device and are never sent anywhere, under any setting. There is no account, no sign-up, and no advertising identifier.

From version 1.1 the app does send three things, on two different terms. Crash and performance reports are always sent and there is no switch for them — we are telling you rather than asking, and the section below sets out exactly what each one contains. Page counts are off unless you turn them on. None of the three ever includes your five answers.

Which version this describes

Version 1.1 and later. Version 1.0, released 9 September 2026, contained no networking code at all and sent nothing whatsoever — if that is the version on your phone, the only accurate description of what it sends is "nothing". Your installed version is shown in the iPhone's own Settings app, under General → iPhone Storage → Mochi Divorce Legal.

We changed this page when the newer version was submitted rather than after it appeared, which is what the Changes section below promises.

Who we are

Mochi Divorce Legal is made by PTK Studio. This policy covers the Mochi Divorce Legal iOS app and this page. If anything here is unclear, write to hello@ptk-studio.com and we will answer plainly.

What is sent, and only what is sent

Three Firebase SDKs are linked, all confined to two files in the app, and none of them is given anything that identifies you or anything you answered. We do not run a server of our own.

Crash reports — always, with no switch. If the app fails, Firebase Crashlytics sends where in the code it failed, your iOS version and your device model, so the fault can be found and fixed. That is the whole of it. The app attaches no keys of its own, no log messages and no identifier for you, and an automated test fails if anyone ever adds one. It does not include what you were reading or anything you answered.
Performance reports — always, with no switch. Firebase Performance Monitoring sends how long the app took to start and how long screens took to draw. It also times network requests in apps that make them; this app makes none of its own, so there are none to time.
Page counts — off until you turn them on. If you switch on Help us pick what to write next, Firebase Analytics receives the identifier of a page when it is opened — the same short code a bookmark uses, from a list that ships inside the app. It is how we decide which stages and topics to write next. Switching it off again erases the random number Google used to group those page opens, and so does Delete everything.

Why two of these have no switch, said plainly

Counting which pages you read is a favour to us, so we ask. Knowing that the app broke is different: an app that failed silently on someone working out whether they can afford to leave would have failed them at a bad moment, and nobody but them would ever know. We decided that reporting its own faults should not be optional, and that the right thing to do in exchange is to be exact about what a report contains and to tell you here rather than let you discover it.

If you would rather send nothing at all, version 1.0 sent nothing, and not installing the update is a real option.

What we never collect

Your five answers. Which state, whether there are children, how much you agree, what there is to divide, how long you have been married. None of these is ever sent, in a crash report or a page count or anything else, individually or bundled together. The app deliberately does not count which state page you open, or which state you save, because that identifier is your answer.
Which official page or helpline you opened. Those links include domestic violence resources, and we decided not to count them at all.
Your name, email address, phone number, or any account — there is no sign-up.
Your contacts, photos, calendar, microphone, or camera.
Your location, precise or otherwise.
Anything you typed. There is nowhere in the app to type anything.

Nothing is used for advertising, nothing is combined with data from other companies' apps or websites, and there is no advertising identifier in the build — which is why you will never see an App Tracking Transparency prompt. There is nothing here we could sell or give to a data broker, and there are no ads in the app.

What stays on your device

Your answers to five questions — which state, whether there are children under 18, how much the two of you agree, what there is to divide, and roughly how long you have been married. Every one is optional and every one can be cleared.
Any hourly rate or retainer you typed into the cost worksheet.
The pages you bookmarked, stored as page identifiers that ship inside the app.

These live in the app's own storage, created with iOS file protection so the file is unreadable while your device is locked. We have no copy and cannot read them. Deleting the app deletes them, and Delete everything in Settings removes them immediately without uninstalling.

There is nowhere to type a name

This is worth stating plainly, because it is unusual. The app has no free text anywhere: no notes, no documents, no case numbers, no party names. There is no field in which anyone could enter a name, an address or an account number, because no such field exists. The five answers are stored as fixed choices and a two-letter state code.

Opening official pages

The app links to courts, state legislatures and federal agencies throughout. Those open in an in-app Safari view, which runs in its own process: it shows you the real web address, and the app has no access to that browsing, its history, its cookies or its autofill data. Where you tap a telephone number — a domestic violence hotline, for instance — it goes to your dialler rather than to a web page.

Those sites are not ours and have their own privacy policies. We are not told that you visited one.

Children

The app is not directed at children. What it sends is the same for everyone, of any age, and none of it identifies anyone.

Your rights

Laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct, export and delete personal data a company holds about you. We hold no personal data about you: a crash report and a page count carry no name, no account and no identifier we could use to find you again, so there is nothing for us to look up, produce or erase on request.

Everything the app stores — your five answers, any rate you typed, your bookmarks — is on your own device and under your control. Settings → Delete everything removes all of it in one step, and also erases the random number Google used to group page counts. If you would like to ask us anything about this, write to hello@ptk-studio.com.

Changes

If what the app sends ever changes again, this page, the wording inside the app, and its App Store privacy disclosure will all change before that version ships — not after. That is what happened here: version 1.1 added the three reports described above, and this page was rewritten when it was submitted rather than once it was live.

Not legal advice

Mochi Divorce Legal provides general legal information. It is not legal advice, it does not create a solicitor-client or attorney-client relationship, and it is not a substitute for a licensed attorney or a court self-help centre.
