This Privacy Policy explains how Rafał Piekara ("we", "us", "the developer") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Tapaterra mobile application ("the App"). We respect your privacy and aim to collect as little data as possible.
If you have questions about this policy, contact us at rafal@piekara.me.
1. Who we are
Tapaterra is published by Rafał Piekara, a sole proprietor based in Poland. We are the data controller for any personal data processed in connection with the App.
- Contact: rafal@piekara.me
- App: Tapaterra: Flagi i Mapa Świata (App Store ID: 6748879667)
2. What we collect
2.1 Information you provide directly
We do not require an account to use the App and do not ask you to submit personal data such as name, email, address, or phone number to use any feature.
2.2 Information collected automatically
The App itself does not collect or transmit usage analytics, advertising identifiers (IDFA), location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera data. The App does not track you across other apps or websites.
2.3 Information related to subscriptions
When you purchase a Tapaterra Pro subscription, the purchase is processed by Apple (in-app purchase) and our subscription provider RevenueCat receives anonymized purchase data so we can manage your subscription status.
The data RevenueCat receives includes:
- An anonymous app-generated user identifier (random ID, not your Apple ID)
- The product identifier you purchased (e.g.
tapaterra_pro_monthly) - The transaction identifier and purchase date
- Country/region of the App Store account that made the purchase
- Subscription status (active, expired, in trial, etc.)
We do not receive your Apple ID, full name, email, payment card data, or device identifiers. Apple handles the actual payment and discloses to us only what is required to validate the receipt.
3. Why we process this data
We process the limited subscription data described above for the following purposes:
- Service provision — to grant access to Tapaterra Pro features you have paid for, restore purchases on a new device, and validate your subscription status.
- Compliance — to comply with our obligations under the Apple Developer Program License Agreement and applicable tax/consumer law.
The legal basis for this processing is performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) — namely the Tapaterra Pro subscription you purchased.
4. Sharing your data
We share the limited data described above with:
| Recipient | Purpose | Location | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Inc. | Process in-app purchases, provide TestFlight, App Store Connect | USA / Ireland | apple.com/legal/privacy |
| RevenueCat, Inc. | Subscription status management | USA | revenuecat.com/privacy |
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.
5. International transfers
Apple and RevenueCat may process your data on servers located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where this happens, those transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and/or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
6. How long we keep your data
We retain subscription records for as long as your subscription is active and for a reasonable period afterwards (typically up to 7 years) to comply with tax and accounting obligations. After that, records are deleted or anonymized.
You can ask Apple to revoke purchase records by following Apple's instructions for managing subscriptions: support.apple.com/HT202039.
7. Your rights
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar laws, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Have your data deleted (subject to legal retention obligations)
- Restrict or object to processing
- Receive your data in a portable format
- Lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country (in Poland: Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych — uodo.gov.pl)
To exercise any of these rights, email rafal@piekara.me. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Children's privacy
Tapaterra is rated 4+ in the App Store and is suitable for children. The App does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, regardless of age. We do not show advertising and we do not have a backend that stores user-identifying information. If you are a parent or guardian and have questions, please contact rafal@piekara.me.
9. Security
Subscription data flows directly between your device, Apple, and RevenueCat over encrypted connections (HTTPS / TLS 1.2+). We do not operate our own backend server, so the developer never has direct access to a database of users.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be highlighted on the App Store description for the next app update. Continued use of the App after a change indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
