Controller
The controller responsible for data processing under the GDPR is:
Jeremiah Stüve

Germany

Data on your device
Whatever you enter in Nikuno is stored locally on your iPhone. I have no access to it and it is not transmitted to me.
You can delete the data at any time in the app or by uninstalling the app. If device backups (iCloud or computer) are enabled, the data may be included in them; Apple's terms apply to those.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app schedules reminders locally on your device. No data is sent to me or third parties.
You can turn notifications off at any time in iOS Settings.
In-app purchases
Purchases and subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. I never receive payment details, only whether a purchase is valid so the purchased features can be unlocked (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Service providers
I use the following service providers:
PostHog Inc.
Purpose: Anonymous usage analytics, only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time in Settings under Privacy.
Data: Usage events (e.g. app opened, screen viewed, entry created, purchase page viewed), app version, language and a random identifier not linked to your name, email or Apple ID. No content of your entries, no IP-based location.
Location: EU (Frankfurt, Deutschland)
Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry)
Purpose: Crash and error reports, only with the same consent as the usage analytics
Data: Error message, stack trace, app version, device model, iOS version and sampled performance metrics. Device name, identifiers and the content of your entries are removed on the device before sending.
Location: USA (EU-US Data Privacy Framework)
650 Industries, Inc. (Expo)
Purpose: Checking for and downloading app updates at launch (legitimate interest in a secure, up-to-date app, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
Data: IP address, app version and technical device information. No content from the app.
Location: USA (EU-US Data Privacy Framework)
Where data is transferred outside the EU, this is based on an adequacy decision (e.g. the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
App Store
When you download Nikuno, Apple processes data such as your Apple ID and payment information as an independent controller. Apple also provides me with anonymised statistics (e.g. downloads, crash reports from users who opted to share with developers). Details: Apple's privacy policy.
Contacting me by email
When you email me, I process your email address, your name (if given) and the content of your message in order to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the request concerns the use of an app, otherwise my legitimate interest in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
My email is stored and processed by checkdomain GmbH (Lübeck, Germany) as a data processor.
I delete your message once your request has been resolved, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
Children
Nikuno is not directed at children under 16. I do not knowingly collect data from children.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to
- access the data stored about you (Art. 15)
- rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16)
- erasure (Art. 17) and restriction of processing (Art. 18)
- data portability (Art. 20)
- object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21)
- withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3))
An informal email to business@jeremiah-stueve.com is enough.
You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for me is: The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HmbBfDI), Ludwig-Erhard-Straße 22, 20459 Hamburg, Germany.
Changes
I update this policy when the law or the features change. The version published here always applies.
