Privacy by design. Your impulse history, check-in data, progress, and statistics are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to the Developer's servers during normal app operation. The Developer limits remote data collection to what is strictly necessary to operate the trial period and subscription features.
01

Introduction and Data Controller

This Privacy Policy explains how the Nolapse application ("the App") processes personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR — Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and other applicable law.

The data controller is Carlos Santos, an individual developer based in Portugal, European Union. For privacy-related enquiries: support@getnolapse.app

02

Privacy by Design

Nolapse was built to keep most app data on your device. Impulse logs, check-in history, risk window configuration, progress statistics, and savings estimates are created and stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to the Developer as part of normal app operation.

The Developer does not receive this local app data through the ordinary operation of the App. Remote data processing is limited to trial management, subscription support, and related service functions.

03

Data Collected and Purposes

3.1 Data stored locally on your device

The following data is created and stored locally on your device. It is not transmitted to the Developer as part of normal app operation:

DataPurpose
Impulse log — intensity, trigger, estimated spend, outcomeHistory and pattern display (Pro)
Risk window configuration — days and time blocksSystem scheduling and filter calibration
Average session spendSavings estimation
Progress statistics and resistance rateDashboard display
App settings and preferencesPersonalisation

If you uninstall the App or clear its local data, this information may be deleted from the device, subject to any device-level backup or synchronisation settings outside the Developer's control.

3.2 Data transmitted to external services

a) Installation date and device identifier

The date of first installation may be recorded in the Developer's backend services and associated with a randomly generated pseudonymous device identifier. This information is used to calculate the 7-day trial period and support trial integrity. This identifier is not intended to directly identify you by name or email address.

Legal basis: Performance of contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR); legitimate interests in preventing trial abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

b) Subscription-related data

The App uses RevenueCat to support subscription entitlement and purchase-status management. This may include subscription status, app-user identifiers, and store purchase identifiers. Payment card data is processed by the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Google), not by the Developer.

Legal basis: Performance of contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

c) Support communications

If you contact the Developer, the information you include in your message — such as your email address and the contents of your request — may be processed to respond and provide support.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests in handling support requests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or performance of contract where the request relates to subscription access (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

05

Behavioural and Sensitive Information

The App relates to impulsive gambling behaviour and may therefore involve information that users consider sensitive. However, the Developer does not intentionally collect or receive users' impulse logs, check-in history, or progress data from the App's normal operation. Such information is designed to remain on your device.

To the extent the Developer processes only limited technical or subscription-related identifiers and not local session data, the scope of sensitive data processing by the Developer is correspondingly limited.

06

Data Retention

Installation-date records, device identifiers, and related technical subscription-support data are retained only for as long as necessary to manage trial eligibility, subscription-related issues, or fraud-prevention checks.

Where such data is no longer needed for those purposes, it will be deleted or anonymised within up to 90 days, unless a longer retention period is required by law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Data processed by third-party providers such as RevenueCat may be retained according to their own applicable retention practices. RevenueCat privacy information ↗

08

Data Security

The Developer implements appropriate technical and organisational measures, proportionate to the nature of the processed data, to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, misuse, or unlawful disclosure. These measures include encrypted communications (HTTPS/TLS) and access-control restrictions for backend services.

09

International Transfers

Some service providers used by the App may process personal data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred internationally, such transfers are intended to be safeguarded through mechanisms recognised under applicable data protection law, which may include Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

10

Tracking and Analytics

The App does not use cookies in the traditional web-browser sense. The Developer does not use advertising SDKs or behavioural tracking technologies for third-party marketing or profiling purposes through the App.

The device identifier described in section 3 is used only for functional purposes such as trial management, subscription support, and fraud prevention.

11

Children

The App is intended for adults only and is not directed to children. The Developer does not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

12

Changes to This Policy

The Developer may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If material changes are made, users will be notified through the App or by other appropriate means at least 15 days before the changes take effect, unless a shorter period is required for legal or security reasons.

The effective date shown at the top of this Policy indicates when the current version came into force.
