Privacy Policy

In short

What we collect and what we don’t

Data kept on your phone

Your progress — your streak, the money you’ve saved, your rank and your block lists — is stored on your device, not on our servers. We do not see how much you lost or how much you saved.

Usage statistics (anonymous)

To understand what works, we use product analytics via PostHog (a processor with servers in the European Union). We collect anonymous events — for example which button is tapped or which screen is viewed — plus basic technical data such as the app version, device type and approximate region. This data does not identify you personally.

What we don’t collect

• Your real name or a public account.
• Your contacts or friends list.
• Your money amounts or details about your gambling.
• Your browsing history or exact location.

Why we use this data

We use anonymous statistics for one purpose only: to understand what helps and to improve the app. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in building a better product and/or your consent to analytics, which you can withdraw at any time from the settings.

Who we share data with

We work with a small number of processors, strictly so the app can function:

• PostHog — anonymous product analytics, with data processed on servers in the European Union.
• Apple — if you download the app from the App Store, Apple processes data under its own privacy policy.

We do not sell your data and do not give it to data brokers or advertising networks.

How long we keep data

The data on your phone stays until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app. Anonymous usage statistics are kept for a limited period, in aggregated form, and cannot be linked back to you as a person.

Blocking apps and websites

Block lists run locally, using the technologies provided by iOS. We do not send your browsing history anywhere and we do not monitor which sites you visit.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect data. Most importantly, the most sensitive data — your progress and your lists — never leaves your device, so it stays under your control.

Children

PăcăStop is an app for adults who want to quit betting and slot machines. It is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection and withdrawal of consent. Because most data stays on your device, you can delete it at any time by uninstalling the app. For any other request, write to us at contact@paca-stop.ro. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Romanian data protection authority (ANSPDCP).

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. The current version is always available here, with the date of the last update at the top.
