Daily Nonogram privacy policy

Last updated: November 2026. Controller: Philip Elmer, see the imprint for the address.

1. Data on your device

Daily Nonogram stores game progress, settings and streak data locally on your device. This data is not sent to my servers.

2. iCloud sync

If iCloud is on, progress and streak sync between your devices through your Apple ID. This data sits in your private iCloud at Apple, and I have no access to it. Apple’s privacy policy applies. You can turn sync off in the system settings at any time.

3. Ads through Google AdMob

The free version shows ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and process the following data:

  • device identifiers (IDFA, IDFV)
  • approximate location derived from the IP address
  • usage and advertising data, meaning ads shown and clicked
  • diagnostic data

Google processes this data under the Google privacy policy. On first launch the app asks for your permission to track (App Tracking Transparency). You can withdraw this consent at any time under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Premium users see no ads, and AdMob stays inactive for them.

4. Crash reports with Firebase Crashlytics

If you agree, the app sends a report to Firebase Crashlytics, a Google service, after a crash. I use it to find and fix bugs. Without your consent nothing is sent. The app asks you on first launch, and you can change your choice in the settings at any time.

A report contains:

  • the technical trace of the crash
  • device model, operating system and app version
  • the time
  • a random ID for the installation, so I can see how many devices a bug affects

It does not include your name or email address; the app doesn’t know them. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Google processes the reports on my behalf and deletes them after 90 days. Processing may also take place in the USA; Google LLC is certified for this under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. More in Firebase’s privacy information.

The app does not use other Firebase services such as Analytics.

5. In-app purchases

Purchases run only through Apple. I have no access to your payment data. Apple’s terms apply.

6. Reminders

Optional reminders are local notifications and are processed only on your device. No data goes to external servers.

7. Your rights

I don’t store personal data from the app myself. Crash reports carry no name and disappear on their own after 90 days; because I can’t link them to a person, I can’t look up yours individually either (Art. 11 GDPR). For data collected by Google AdMob, contact Google AdMob support. You also have the right to complain to the Austrian data protection authority (Datenschutzbehörde).
