Privacy Policy
Short version: our apps need no account, we do not ask for your name or email, and we do not sell personal data. We collect anonymous usage statistics to learn which products are worth improving.
1. Who is responsible
Pauga Apps is run by an independent developer based in Lithuania, European Union, who is the data controller. Contact: support@pauga.app.
2. What we collect
Usage data
When you use a product, it sends events such as "app opened", "session started", "puzzle solved" or "shared". Each event carries a random identifier created on your device, the product name and version, device model, operating system, language and screen size. Your IP address is processed to derive an approximate location (country or city) and is not used to identify you.
Error reports
If a product crashes or hits an error, a technical report is sent: the error, the place in the code, and the device and app details above.
Data that stays on your device
Progress, streaks and settings are stored locally on your device or in your browser. We do not receive them.
Messages you send us
If you email us, we receive your address and whatever you write, and use them only to answer you.
What we do not collect
No names, no contacts, no photos, no precise location, no advertising identifier unless an app shows ads (section 4).
3. Why, and on what legal basis
We use usage data and error reports to understand how products are used, to fix problems and to decide what to build. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running and improving our products (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Where the law requires consent, for example for personalised advertising, we ask for it first and you can withdraw it at any time.
4. Advertising and purchases
Most of our products have neither. Where a product shows ads, it uses Google AdMob, which may process device identifiers and usage data under Google's privacy policy; in regions where consent is required, ads are personalised only if you agree. Where a product offers purchases, payment is handled by Apple or Google, and we receive only an anonymous confirmation of what was bought, managed through RevenueCat. We never see your card details.
5. Who processes data for us
- PostHog (usage analytics and error reports), hosted in the European Union.
- Cloudflare (website hosting and delivery).
- Expo (app updates and build services).
- Apple and Google (app distribution, and purchases where offered).
- Google AdMob and RevenueCat, only in products that show ads or offer purchases.
Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, transfers rely on the safeguards the law provides, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.
6. How long we keep it
Usage data and error reports are kept for up to 24 months and then deleted or aggregated. Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your request, and no longer than 24 months.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, a copy, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. Because we do not know who you are, a request needs the random identifier from your device; write to us and we will explain how to find it. Deleting the app or clearing the site data stops all further collection. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority; in Lithuania this is the State Data Protection Inspectorate (vdai.lrv.lt).
8. Children
Our products are meant for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, write to us and we will delete it.
9. Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new effective date. Significant changes are also announced in the affected products.
