This Privacy Policy describes the rules for processing personal data of users of the BakeBuddy mobile application.
The administrator of personal data is the owner of the BakeBuddy application.
The application may process the following user data:
Providing data is voluntary, but necessary to use the application's features.
During registration, the user provides an email address, username, and password. The password is stored exclusively in encrypted form (hash).
The application allows login via Google Sign-In. In this case, the application receives user data from the Google account (first name, last name, email address, Google ID) in accordance with the user's privacy settings. The legal basis for processing is the performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and the user's consent.
The application allows login via Sign in with Apple. In this case, the application receives the user's Apple ID and, optionally, their name and email address. The user may choose to hide their real email address, in which case Apple provides a private relay address. Data is processed in accordance with Apple's privacy settings. The legal basis for processing is the performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and the user's consent.
The user may provide additional information when reporting problems via the in-app form. Optionally, the user may attach a photo to the report. Photos are stored only for the time necessary to handle the report and are then deleted.
The application records error logs and crash data to ensure stability and improve application performance. This data is transmitted to and stored on Microsoft Azure servers and in Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.), with Sentry data stored in the European Union (Germany). Logs may contain a user identifier but do not contain sensitive data.
The application offers a premium subscription available for purchase via Google Play and the App Store. Purchases are handled by the respective store (Google LLC or Apple Inc.) and RevenueCat Inc., which processes subscription status data. The application receives information about active entitlements and subscription expiration date. Payment data (card numbers etc.) is processed exclusively by Google or Apple and is not accessible to the application administrator.
The application uses the Facebook SDK provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. We share with Meta the device advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Google Advertising ID on Android) and the app usage events listed in section 2 (app launch, account registration, start of a free trial, subscription purchase). This data is used to measure the effectiveness of BakeBuddy advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram and to display personalized ads. We do not share your email address, name or account identifier with Meta.
iOS: data is shared with Meta only after you grant permission in the system "Allow Tracking" prompt. You can withdraw your consent at any time in Settings β Privacy & Security β Tracking.
Android: you can delete or reset your advertising identifier at any time in Settings β Google β Ads (or Settings β Privacy β Ads, depending on the device). You may also object to this processing by contacting us at service.bakebuddy@gmail.com.
