Privacy Policy

As of: 3 July 2026 · Version 1.0 · applies to the “Fjara” app and the website fjara.app

1. Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

A data protection officer is not legally required and has not been appointed.

2. Principle: Everything stays on your device

• No provider servers; the app initiates no network connections of its own.
• No account, no registration, no e-mail address required.
• No cloud sync (as of this version).
• No analytics, no tracking, no profiling, no advertising, no third-party SDKs, no automated decision-making — hence no App Tracking Transparency dialog appears.
• The provider collects, stores, receives, and transmits no personal data whatsoever — neither names nor IP addresses, device identifiers, or usage data.

Since the provider processes no personal data, many classic GDPR obligations are largely moot. Your rights are nevertheless set out in full (section 8).

3. Individual processing operations (app)

a) Voluntary entries

Entries such as an optional first name, your start date, or notes serve solely the local display in the app and remain on your device.

b) Purchases (optional Plus membership)

Purchases are processed entirely by Apple (StoreKit). The provider receives no payment, billing, or address data; the app verifies the entitlement locally only. Responsible for purchase processing is Apple Distribution International Ltd. or the Apple entity responsible for you; the Apple Privacy Policy applies.

c) Reminders

Optional reminders are scheduled purely locally via the operating system (UserNotifications). There is no push server.

d) Operating-system diagnostics

Only if you have enabled sharing diagnostic data with Apple in the iOS system settings may Apple process crash reports. This is an Apple feature; the provider receives nothing from it.

4. Website (fjara.app)

This website is static and uses no cookies, no analytics tools, and no third-party embeds (no external fonts, no CDNs).

The website is served via GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.). When you access it, GitHub as hosting provider processes technically necessary server logs (e.g. IP address, time of access, page requested) to deliver the site and defend against attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure operation). Details: GitHub General Privacy Statement. The provider himself has no access to personal log data.

5. Legal bases

Insofar as any processing within the meaning of data protection law takes place at all (locally on your device or in the host's server logs), it is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (provision of the app's functions) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a data-minimising app and a secure website). The provider transmits no data to himself, to third parties, or to third countries.

6. Disclosure to third parties

None. No data is sold, rented, or shared. The only third-party contacts are Apple for purchase processing (acting on its own responsibility, section 3b) and GitHub as website host (section 4).

7. Storage period & deletion

Your data remains on your device until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app. Deleting the app removes all locally stored Fjara data. Deletion by the provider is neither possible nor necessary, as he holds no data.

8. Your rights (GDPR)

You have the rights under Art. 15–18, 20, and 21 GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection). Since the provider holds no personal data about you, you exercise control directly yourself: view your data in the app, rectify it by editing, erase it by uninstalling. For data connected with purchases, please contact Apple.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; in Austria: Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde, dsb.gv.at.

9. Children & minors

Fjara is aimed at adults who want to change their relationship with substances. Regardless of this, no data collection by the provider takes place at all. Purchases are subject to Apple's parental-control and Family Sharing rules.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy will be adapted if the app or the legal situation changes. Should a feature ever be introduced through which data could leave the device (e.g. an optional iCloud sync), this policy will be updated in advance and the feature clearly marked. The current version can be found in the app under Settings → Legal & Privacy and on this website.
