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 does 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 iOS app 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, advertising identifiers (IDFA) or IDFV
• 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 does not ask for a single iOS permission. 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.

Every app on the App Store carries a privacy label that the developer fills in. Ours says Data Not Collected, across every category Apple lists. That is the strongest statement the label allows, and it is accurate.

That label is only true for as long as Spinaroo ships with zero analytics and zero crash reporting. If we ever add a tool like Sentry, Firebase, 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 must change, and this page must change with it 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, so iOS never has to ask you whether we may.

Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework requires an app to show you a permission prompt before it links data about you with data from other companies’ apps or websites for advertising or measurement, or before it shares your data with data brokers.

Spinaroo does none of that. We do not read the advertising identifier, 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. Because we do not track, Spinaroo does not present the App Tracking Transparency prompt - its absence is the point, not an oversight.

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 Apple’s role for the one narrow case where crash information can reach us, at your choosing, through Apple.

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 Apple’s own frameworks. We have deliberately kept the dependency list 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 computer backup. That backup is yours and Apple’s - never ours.

Because Spinaroo’s data lives in the app’s storage on your phone, it is included in your device backups the same way most apps’ data is - whether that is an iCloud backup or an encrypted backup to your own computer. This is a function of iOS, not of Spinaroo.

Those backups are governed by Apple’s privacy policy and controlled entirely by you in your iOS settings. 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 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:

App Store data

When you download Spinaroo, that transaction is between you and Apple. Apple then shows us aggregate reports in App Store Connect - how many downloads there were, in which countries, on which device types. 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. Apple’s handling of that is covered by Apple’s privacy policy.

Crash diagnostics you choose to share

iOS has a system setting - Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Share With App Developers. If you have turned that on, Apple may show us crash logs and energy diagnostics for Spinaroo. That is Apple’s pipeline, opted into by you, showing us stack traces rather than anything about who you are. We do not receive it if you leave that setting off, and Spinaroo never asks you to turn it on.

This does not change our Data Not Collected label, which describes 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 for general audiences 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.

That choice is worth explaining. The Kids Category carries 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 into the category would add review requirements and restrictions that serve no one here. Staying out of it 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 or computer 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 and iCloud 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 sandbox, protected by iOS’s own app isolation and by the device encryption that your passcode, Face ID or Touch ID unlocks. Keeping a passcode on your device, and keeping iOS 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 would change in the same release. If you ever see this page claim we collect nothing while the App Store label says otherwise, trust the label 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.
