Privacy policy

In plain termsAll data stays on your device. We collect nothing.

Spinaroo has no account system, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting service and no tracking of any kind. There is no server for your wheels to go to, because we never built one. The wheels you make, the answers you type and the results you spin are written to your phone’s own storage and stay there until you change them or delete the app.

The rest of this page explains that in detail, including the parts most policies skip: what Apple and Google each do independently of us, what happens when your phone backs itself up, and what would have to change here if we ever added a single analytics tool.

Spinaroo is made by BaruzoTech(“we”, “us”). This policy covers the Spinaroo apps for iOS and Android, and the website at spinaroo.baruzotech.com.

Under data protection laws such as the UK and EU GDPR, the party that decides why and how personal data is processed is the “controller”. We would be that party - but as set out below, we do not process personal data through Spinaroo at all. If you want to reach a human about anything on this page, write to info@baruzotech.com.

In plain termsNothing. Not “a little”, not “anonymised”. Nothing.

We do not collect, receive, store, sell, share, rent or otherwise process any personal data through Spinaroo. Specifically, we do not collect:

• Your name, email address, phone number or postal address
• Any account credentials - there is no account to create and no login screen
• Your contacts, photos, calendar, microphone, camera or health data
• Your location, whether precise or coarse
• Your IP address, device identifiers, or either platform’s advertising ID (Apple’s IDFA or the Android advertising ID)
• Usage analytics, session recordings, heatmaps or event streams
• Crash logs or performance traces sent to us or to any third party
• The contents of the wheels you create, or the results you spin
• Purchase history - there are no in-app purchases and no subscriptions

Spinaroo requests no permissions at all - not a single iOS permission prompt, and no Android runtime permissions. If your phone ever prompts you to give Spinaroo access to something, treat it as a bug and tell us at info@baruzotech.com.

Spinaroo does store things - it just stores them on your phone, in the app’s own private storage area, which other apps cannot read. That includes:

• The wheels you keep, including each question, its emoji and its answers
• Any wheels you write yourself, and any edits you make to the ones we ship
• Your spin history - what the wheel landed on, and when
• Small preferences, such as whether sound is on

None of this is transmitted anywhere. It is not personal data being “processed by us”, because it never reaches us; it is a file on your phone, in the same sense that a note you type into Notes is a file on your phone.

Both stores make the developer declare what an app collects, and both of ours say the same thing. On the App Store our privacy label reads Data Not Collected, across every category Apple lists. On Google Play our Data safety section declares no data collected and no data shared, across every category Google lists. Those are the strongest statements either form allows, and they are accurate.

They are only true for as long as Spinaroo ships with zero analytics and zero crash reporting. If we ever add a tool like Sentry, Firebase, Crashlytics, Amplitude or any advertising SDK - even one that only reports crashes, and even one configured not to identify anyone - then the label in App Store Connect and the Data safety form in Play Console must both change, and this page must change with them before that version ships. We would also say so in the changes section rather than quietly editing around it.

In plain termsWe do not track you. Neither app touches your advertising ID, so iOS never has to ask you whether we may.

Both platforms give every device an advertising identifier that apps can read to profile people across apps and websites for advertising or measurement. On iOS, reading it means showing you Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt first. On Android, it means declaring the AD_ID permission, which Google Play requires apps to disclose.

Spinaroo does neither. The iOS build never asks for tracking permission - so you will never see that prompt, and its absence is the point rather than an oversight. The Android build does not declare AD_ID. We do not build a profile of you, we do not fingerprint your device, and we have nothing to share with a data broker even if one asked. There is no advertising SDK in either build.

Analytics: none. We do not know how many wheels you made, which answers you typed, how often you spin, or whether you opened the app once and never came back.

Crash reporting: none of our own. There is no crash SDK in the build. See the stores’ role for the one narrow case where crash information can reach us, at your choosing, through Apple or Google.

Advertising: none. There are no ads in Spinaroo, no ad network SDK, and no plan to add one. This is not a “no ads for now” arrangement where the ads arrive once there are enough users to sell.

Third-party SDKs: none that phone home. Spinaroo is built on each platform’s own frameworks - Apple’s on iOS, the Android platform’s libraries on Android. We have deliberately kept both dependency lists empty of anything that talks to a network.

Spinaroo does not make network requests. It works in airplane mode, on a plane, on the subway, and in a basement with no signal, because it has no reason to reach the internet. There is no sync, no cloud backup of your wheels to us, no remote config, no feature flags phoning a server, and no “check for updates” call.

If you would like to verify this rather than take our word for it, you can put your phone in airplane mode and use the app normally - everything works - or point a network monitor such as Charles Proxy or Little Snitch at it and watch nothing happen.

In plain termsYour wheels can end up in your own iCloud or Google Drive backup. That backup is yours and the platform’s - never ours.

Because Spinaroo’s data lives in the app’s private storage on your phone, it is included in your device backups the same way most apps’ data is. On iOS that means an iCloud backup or an encrypted backup to your own computer; on Android it means Auto Backup, which copies app data to your own Google Drive without counting against your storage quota. This is a function of the operating system, not of Spinaroo.

Those backups are governed by Apple’s or Google’s privacy policy and controlled entirely by you, in your iOS settings or in Settings → Google → Backupon Android. We have no access to them, no way to request them, and no key to read them. We mention it only because “stays on your device” deserves the honest footnote that your device may back itself up to your own account.

The site you are reading collects nothing either. Specifically:

• No cookies. The site sets none, so there is no cookie banner to dismiss - a banner would have nothing to ask you about.
• No analytics. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no pixel from any social network.
• No third-party fonts or scripts at runtime. The Fredoka typeface is downloaded when the site is built and served from our own domain, so your browser never makes a request to Google Fonts and Google never sees your IP address.
• No embeds. No YouTube player, no Intercom widget, no chat bubble.

Our hosting provider processes standard server logs (including IP addresses) purely to serve the page and to keep the service up and secure, as any web server must. We do not build profiles from those logs and we do not use them for analytics or marketing.

We cannot make promises on Apple’s or Google’s behalf, and it would be misleading to imply that nothing about you exists anywhere just because we hold nothing. Two things happen independently of us, whichever store you used:

Store data

When you install Spinaroo, that transaction is between you and the store. Apple and Google then show us aggregate reports - in App Store Connect and Play Console - covering how many downloads there were, in which countries, on which device types and OS versions. These are counts, not people: we cannot identify you from them, and we cannot tie any of it to anything you do inside the app. Their handling of that is covered by Apple’s privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.

Crash diagnostics you choose to share

Both platforms have a system setting for this - on iOS it is Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Share With App Developers, and on Android it is Settings → Google → Usage & diagnostics. If you have turned yours on, the store may show us crash logs, ANRs and energy diagnostics for Spinaroo. That is their pipeline, opted into by you, showing us stack traces rather than anything about who you are. We do not receive it if you leave the setting off, and Spinaroo never asks you to turn it on.

This does not change our Data Not Collected label or our no data collecteddeclaration, which describe data collected by the developer’s own code. We spell it out anyway, because a privacy policy that quietly omits the one exception is not worth reading.

Spinaroo is rated 4+ on the App Store and for general audiences on Google Play, and is safe for all ages to use. But it is not directed at children, and it is deliberately not published in the App Store’s Kids Category or enrolled in Google Play’s families programs.

That choice is worth explaining. Both schemes carry specific obligations around advertising, external links and data handling. Spinaroo already meets the substance of them - it has no ads, no links out, no analytics and no data collection at all - but opting in would add review requirements and restrictions that serve no one here. Staying out changes nothing about how your data is treated, because there is no data.

Since we collect nothing from anybody, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the parts of the EEA and UK that set that threshold) - nor from anyone else. There is nothing for a parent to request the deletion of, but if you are a parent with a question, write to info@baruzotech.com and we will answer it properly.

In plain termsYou have the full set of data rights. They are all satisfied already, because we hold nothing about you.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the EU or UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, or comparable laws elsewhere. These typically include the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, port it elsewhere, and not be subject to solely automated decisions with legal effects.

We honour all of them in the only way we can: there is no data to hand over, correct, delete, restrict, port or object to. If you send us an access request, our honest and complete response is that we hold no records about you and never did.

For California residents: we do not and will not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We have never done either. There is no “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link on this site because there is nothing to opt out of.

If you believe we have handled your data improperly, you are entitled to complain to your local supervisory authority - for example the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK. We would rather you told us first at info@baruzotech.com.

Delete a wheel in the app and it is gone from your phone. Delete the app and everything Spinaroo ever wrote - wheels, history, preferences - goes with it.

You do not need to email us, close an account, or wait out a retention period, because there is no copy anywhere else to wait for. If you have an iCloud, computer or Google Drive backup from before you deleted the app, that backup may still contain the app’s data; managing or deleting it is done through your iOS, iCloud, Android or Google Account settings, which only you control.

The most effective security measure available to any app is not holding your data in the first place, and that is the one we took. There is no database of ours to breach, no server of ours to compromise, and no backup of ours to leak, because none of them exist.

On your phone, Spinaroo’s data sits in the app’s private storage, protected by the operating system’s own app isolation - iOS’s sandbox or Android’s - and by the device encryption that your passcode, PIN, pattern, Face ID or fingerprint unlocks. Keeping a screen lock on your device, and keeping the OS up to date, does more to protect your wheels than anything we could add.

None occur. An international transfer means personal data moving from one country to another for processing. Since your data never leaves your device, it never crosses a border on our account, and mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions have nothing to apply to.

If we change this policy, we will update the “last updated” date at the top of the page. If a change is material - most obviously, if Spinaroo ever starts collecting anything at all - we will not rely on a quiet edit and a new date. We will say plainly what changed, what is now collected, and why, before the version that does it ships.

Our App Store privacy label and Google Play Data safety section would change in the same release. If you ever see this page claim we collect nothing while either store listing says otherwise, trust the listing and tell us, because we have made a mistake.

Questions about this policy, about privacy generally, or about something that looks wrong - write to info@baruzotech.com and a person will read it.
