Taktuno's core gameplay runs locally on your device. We operate no Taktuno server or account system, and we run no analytics or tracking of our own. We do not receive your gameplay data.
Data may leave your device through three platform services: Google AdMob for advertising, Apple App Store or Google Play for the one-time Taktuno Pro purchase, and Apple Game Center or Google Play Games for platform authentication and, only after you enable Game Services, achievements and eligible best scores.
You can change your advertising choice at any time in the app under Settings → PRIVACY OPTIONS.
The controller within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR is:

We are not required to appoint a data protection officer.
The app writes the following to its private app storage (Android: SharedPreferences; iOS: NSUserDefaults). This data is not transmitted to us and is not readable by us:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Best results per game mode | High score display |
| Timing statistics — per-round deviation in milliseconds, up to the 120 most recent sessions | Performance Insights, your time-sense profile and the device-local weekly review |
| Journey progress and recent performance metrics | Progression through the Journey mode |
| Daily Run points and daily bests; current and best streak; Streak Freezes; recent break and restore state | Daily Precision Run, streak protection and eligible streak restoration |
| Daily Run access and reward state | Remembering completed runs and whether a separately chosen rewarded ad unlocked one additional run |
| XP, current rank and mastery tier; weekly challenge completion; mode-discovery state | Local progression, rewards and avoiding repeated suggestions |
| Selected visual theme | Restoring your chosen appearance, including unlocked themes |
| Custom Challenge profile — a name you type yourself and the round configuration | Saving your own challenge. The name is free text; please do not enter personal data there. |
| Settings: appearance mode, reduced motion, haptics, chaos level, distraction sounds, tutorial completed | Restoring your preferences |
| Daily reminder times, optional “run still open” reminder and reminder-offer state | Scheduling local notifications and avoiding repeated offers |
| Taktuno Pro entitlement flag | Unlocking purchased content and removing ads |
| Ad pacing counters and the local calendar day of the last ad | Limiting how often an ad is shown |
| Consent status of the Google consent dialog | Storing your advertising choice |
| Game Services sharing choice, achievement progress and eligible best scores | Preparing optional achievement and leaderboard submissions |
| Random install secret, salted account fingerprint and last-submitted snapshot fingerprint | Detecting a platform-account change and preventing duplicate submissions. The raw platform player ID is not stored. |
The app uses your device clock and time zone to determine the local calendar day for Daily Runs and ad pacing, and to schedule optional Daily Run reminders. No location data is used or requested.
Deleting the app deletes this data. On Android you can also clear it via System settings → Apps → Taktuno → Storage → Clear data.
Device backups: your operating system may include some core progress, statistics and settings in your personal Android or Apple device backup. Taktuno deliberately excludes its dedicated retention data from backup: Daily Run daily results and access rewards, streaks and Streak Freezes, reminder choices and offer state, XP/rank progression, weekly challenge state and related local progression cues. Android also excludes the native reminder preferences and cached purchase entitlement from cloud backup and device transfer; iOS marks the dedicated retention preferences file as excluded from backup. These exclusions prevent a restored clock or stale state from recreating time-sensitive rewards. The backup belongs to your Google or Apple account and is not accessible to us.
The free version shows full-screen interstitial ads between eligible sessions, limited by an on-device pacing rule. It also offers opt-in rewarded ads: the first Daily Run of a local day is free, and a player may choose to watch a separate rewarded ad to unlock each additional run that day. After an eligible streak break, a rewarded ad can also be chosen once to restore that streak within the displayed restoration window. A Daily Run does not also trigger an interstitial. There are no banner ads. Taktuno Pro removes advertising completely, provides unlimited Daily Runs and performs an eligible streak restore without an ad.
Ads are delivered by Google AdMob, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). For ad delivery, frequency capping, fraud prevention, analytics and measurement, Google may process in particular: IP address and an approximate region derived from it, device and app identifiers, device model and operating system version, app version, language, ad data, app and ad interactions, crash information and performance diagnostics.
com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID). Where you have given consent, this identifier may be used for personalised advertising. Without consent, ads are non-personalised.Non-personalised ads still involve limited processing for frequency capping, fraud prevention and aggregated reporting.
Where consent is required — in particular in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland — it is obtained before ads are requested via the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP), an IAB TCF-compatible consent management platform. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and § 25(1) TDDDG for storing and accessing information on your device.
You can review, change or withdraw your consent at any time under Settings → PRIVACY OPTIONS in the app. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand. On Android you can additionally reset or delete your advertising ID under Settings → Google → Ads; on iOS, tracking is off unless you enable it under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, which this app does not request.
On iOS the app declares Apple's SKAdNetwork identifiers. SKAdNetwork is Apple's privacy-preserving attribution framework: when an ad leads to an app install, Apple sends the advertising network a delayed, aggregated notice about the campaign. This report contains no device identifier, no IP address and nothing that identifies you, and it is generated by iOS itself rather than by this app. Apple does not classify SKAdNetwork as tracking, so no App Tracking Transparency permission is required for it.
Taktuno Pro (product ID com.taktuno.app.pro) is a one-time, non-consumable purchase. It is processed exclusively by the platform operator — Apple (StoreKit) or Google (Google Play Billing). Payment details are entered in the platform's own interface and are never transmitted to us. We receive no name, address or payment data.
Taktuno Pro removes all ads, provides unlimited Daily Runs, increases the Streak Freeze bank from one to three and unlocks the Sunrise theme. An eligible streak restore does not require an ad for Pro players.
The app receives only the information whether a valid purchase exists and stores that flag locally. When you tap "Restore purchases", the app asks Apple or Google whether your account holds the entitlement. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract).
The platform operators act as independent controllers for the payment process: Apple Privacy Policy · Google Privacy Policy.
The App integrates the gaming service native to your platform: Game Center on iOS and Google Play Games on Android. The platform may authenticate its signed-in gaming profile when the integration is enabled in a released build. On Android this authentication is silent and automatic for existing Play Games profiles; the platform may show its own profile or sign-in interface. Platform authentication is separate from Taktuno's optional progress-sharing choice.
After successful platform authentication, the App temporarily reads the native player ID to detect account changes. It combines that ID with a random, device-local secret to create a salted SHA-256 fingerprint. The raw player ID is not stored, logged or sent to a Taktuno server, and the fingerprint never leaves your device.
Achievement progress and the eligible best scores for Classic Precision, Speed Variation Precision, 2× Precision and Daily Run are submitted only after you select Connect in Taktuno Settings and confirm the disclosure. The recipient stores them with your native gaming profile and may display achievements, rankings and profile information according to your Game Center or Play Games visibility settings. Taktuno does not request friends, avatars, email addresses, cloud saves, multiplayer data or server authentication codes.
You can select Turn Off in Taktuno Settings at any time. This prevents future Taktuno submissions but keeps your local progress. It does not remove information already stored by Apple or Google. Delete previously shared achievements, scores or gaming-profile data through the native Game Center or Google Play Games profile and the associated platform-account controls.
For the user-requested sharing feature, the legal basis for our transient processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (providing the requested feature). Platform authentication, profile visibility, fraud prevention, retention and deletion are also governed by the platform operator's terms and privacy policy. Apple and Google act independently for their gaming platforms: Apple Privacy Policy · Google Privacy Policy.
After selected Daily Run and Precision Five results, and from the weekly review, you can tap "Share". The app locally creates a square image card from the result already shown to you and supplies it together with localized result text and the Taktuno website link to your operating system's share sheet. Depending on the card, this can include a score or deviation, streak, rank, number of sessions, weekly comparison and best day. It contains no account identifier or hidden gameplay history.
On Android the image is written temporarily to the app's private share cache under a non-identifying file name and is made readable only to the recipient app you choose; stale share files are cleaned up. On iOS the image is created in memory. Nothing is uploaded by Taktuno or sent to another app until you choose a destination yourself. The receiving app's own privacy policy applies from that point on. Sharing is entirely optional.
When you download, install or update the app, Apple or Google process data such as your account identifier, download history, device type and — where you enable it — crash and performance diagnostics. This happens under the responsibility of the platform operator. We receive no individual-level data; App Store Connect and the Google Play Console show us only aggregated, anonymous statistics.
Daily Run reminders: The app may softly offer reminders after you begin playing. You can enable or disable them and choose the daily reminder time under Settings → DAILY REMINDER. You can also choose a second, later “run still open” reminder; it is scheduled only for an open Daily Run while your streak is at least two days. Both reminders are optional, use your device's local time zone and are cancelled for a day once that day's run is complete. Enabling reminders requests the operating system's notification permission; declining does not affect gameplay. The app does not register for remote push notifications, obtain a push token, or send reminder preferences or gameplay data to us for this feature. You can also turn notifications off in your device settings.
Android: POST_NOTIFICATIONS is requested on Android 13 and later when you choose to enable reminders. RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED lets the app restore an enabled reminder after a device restart; it does not give the app access to your files or contacts. The app also uses VIBRATE for haptic feedback, plus INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and the advertising-ID permission required by the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Google Play Games uses the platform's gaming profile and network connection as described in section 6.
iOS: The app requests notification authorization only when you choose to enable reminders. Haptics use the system Taptic engine without a separate permission prompt. The Game Center entitlement enables the optional platform features described in section 6.
The app does not access contacts, photos, microphone, camera, location, health data, calendar or files, and it does not request any tracking permission.
Taktuno is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Where a user is below the applicable age of digital consent (Art. 8 GDPR — 16 in Germany unless national law provides otherwise), no consent to personalised advertising can validly be given; in that case only non-personalised ads are permissible and no advertising identifier is used for personalisation. In-app purchases remain subject to your device's parental controls (Apple: Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions; Google: Play Store → Settings → Family), which we recommend parents enable.
If you believe a child has provided personal data through a service used by this app, contact [email protected] and we will help you address it with the relevant provider.
This section applies if you live in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah or another US state with comparable privacy legislation.
We do not sell personal information and operate no Taktuno backend. In the free version, our advertising partner Google may use identifiers, device information and ad interaction data for advertising purposes. Under the CPRA this may qualify as "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising. Apple or Google may also process gaming-profile data when you use the native Game Services described in section 6.
To opt out, open Settings → PRIVACY OPTIONS in the app, where the applicable Google privacy message is shown, and/or reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings. On iOS no cross-app advertising identifier is used at all, since the app does not request tracking permission.
Depending on your state, you may have the right to know, delete, correct, and to opt out of targeted advertising or the sale/sharing of personal information, and to appeal a refused request. Since we hold no server-side personal information about you and cannot identify your device or gaming profile, direct provider-held data requests to Google or Apple, or contact us at [email protected] and we will point you to the relevant controls. We do not discriminate against users who exercise these rights.
Google and Apple may process data on servers outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. Those transfers rely on the EU Commission's adequacy decision for the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or on standard contractual clauses under Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR concluded by the respective provider.
Data on your device stays until you delete it or uninstall the app. Timing statistics are capped at the 120 most recent sessions; older sessions are overwritten automatically. Some core data may also remain in your personal device backup, subject to the exclusions described in section 3 and your platform backup settings. Advertising, billing and gaming-platform data is retained by Google or Apple under the respective provider's retention rules and account controls.
You have the rights of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). Where processing rests on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.
Because we store no personal data ourselves and cannot identify you, we may be unable to act on a request under Art. 11(2) GDPR. In that case please address it directly to Google or Apple; we will gladly point you to the correct contact.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement (Art. 77 GDPR).
We update this policy when the app or the legal situation changes. The current version is always at taktuno.app/privacy; the date at the top shows the version in force.
