Privacy policy

Version 1.3 · August 2026

In short: the app can be played entirely as a guest, in which case your high score stays on your device. An account is only needed for the global leaderboard, and that data is held on servers in Frankfurt, Germany — inside the EU. Emails are sent through Brevo. There are no ads, no in-app purchases and no tracking, and you can delete your account from inside the app at any time.

Protecting your data matters to us. This page explains which personal data Apero Drop processes, for what purpose, and what rights you have.

Controller

The controller for data processing in this app is the collaboration Schëppe Siwen & Daumedia, 13, rue de la Fontaine, L-3768 Tétange, Luxembourg. For any question about data protection you can reach us by email at support@daumedia.lu.

What data we process

Depending on how you use the app, we process:

• When you register with email: your email address and an encrypted password.
• With “Sign in with Apple”: the identifier Apple sends us and — if you agree — your name and email address.
• Your profile: nickname, avatar emoji and colour, and — if you upload one — your profile photo.
• Game data: high score, daily streak and leaderboard position.
• Your consents: your agreement to this privacy policy as well as newsletter and push consent, each with a timestamp.
• Only if you consent to push notifications: the identifier Apple uses to reach your device for notifications (device token), together with your language and app version.
• Reports: if you report a profile, we store who reported whom, with a timestamp.

The profile photo is optional. If you don't upload one, we keep showing your avatar emoji. We crop the picture to 512 × 512 pixels on your device and store only that result; the capture location, capture time and other metadata of the original are not carried over. The photo is visible to all players on the leaderboard, next to your nickname. You can change or remove it at any time in the app under “Edit profile”; deleting your account deletes it as well.

Purposes of processing

We process this data to provide you with a game account, to show your high score on the leaderboard and — only with your consent — to send you news by email (newsletter) and announcements by push notification. Without an account you can use the app in guest mode; your high score is then stored only on your device.

The daily game reminders are independent of this: they are scheduled and triggered on your device itself, and nothing is transmitted to us for them. They therefore work without an account and without push consent.

We store your device token only for as long as you want to receive push notifications. It is deleted as soon as you withdraw your consent in the app, when you sign out, when you delete your account — and automatically when Apple tells us the app is no longer installed on your device.

We process reports so that we can review and remove inappropriate profile photos and nicknames. This is our legitimate interest in a leaderboard free of offensive or unlawful content, and at the same time a condition for being allowed to offer the app on the App Store.

Backend & service providers

To provide accounts, sign-in and the leaderboard we use the service Supabase as a processor; your account and game data are stored there. The servers are located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, so your data stays within the European Union. The provider is Supabase Pte. Ltd., 65 Chulia Street #38-02/03, OCBC Centre, Singapore 049513.

For sending emails we use the service Brevo, offered by Sendinblue SAS, 17 rue Salneuve, 75017 Paris, France (registered in the Paris commercial register under number 498 019 298). It carries system messages about your account — such as confirming your registration or resetting your password — as well as the welcome message after you sign up. If you consent to the newsletter, we additionally create a contact for you at Brevo; stored there are your email address, your nickname, your language setting and the version and date of your consent. If you withdraw your consent, that contact is deleted at Brevo.

For “Sign in with Apple” and for sending push notifications, services of Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland are used. To send them we pass your device token and the text of the message to Apple's notification service, which delivers it to your device.

The data protection agreements required by law are in place with all of the providers named above. Where data is processed outside the European Union, this is done on the basis of the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.

Local storage on your device

Some data stays on your device only: the guest high score and your app settings (sound, appearance, reminder level). Resetting the app from the settings deletes this local data.

Your list of blocked players (their identifier and nickname) also stays on your device only. It is never transmitted to us. It is deliberately excluded from the app reset so that a block is not lifted by accident; you can change it at any time under Settings → “Blocked players”.

Retention period

We store your account and game data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account (Settings → “Delete account”), the associated data is removed. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of the processing of your data, as well as the right to data portability. Consents you have given (for example the newsletter) can be withdrawn at any time in the settings. You can delete your account directly in the app (Settings → “Delete account”). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
