Privacy Policy

Zero is the most useful clue on a board, because it settles four edges at once. It is also the honest number for this application: zero accounts, zero adverts, zero measurement, zero network traffic. The published package does not carry Android's internet permission, which means the system refuses a connection even if something inside the app attempted one. That is not a policy we keep; it is a fact about the build, and it can be read off the store listing before installing.

Whatever Zanka remembers about your solving — boards finished, best times, where you left off — is written into the private storage Android gives the app and goes no further. We never see it, because there is no route by which it could reach us.

The sections below work through that claim at the length the General Data Protection Regulation expects, and the last of them tells you where to take a disagreement.

Controller is the term Article 4(7) uses for whoever decides the purposes and means of processing. Here it mostly means whoever has to stand behind the paragraph above and answer for it if it turns out to be wrong.

You will not find a data protection officer named, and that gap is reasoned rather than careless. The designation becomes obligatory under Article 37 in three situations — a public authority, systematic monitoring at scale, or special-category data as a core activity — and this company matches none of the three. Letters to the address above land in front of the director, not in a queue.

The first kind is progress, the second is preference. Together they are the whole of what the app writes down:

• Which boards you have solved, and at which tier, so the board list can show where you have been.
• Best times for boards you have finished, kept so the next attempt has something to beat.
• The board you are part-way through — drawn edges, crossed-out edges, your undo history for the current sitting — so closing the app mid-deduction does not throw the reasoning away.
• How many hints remain in the allowance.
• Settings: interface language (Slovenian or English), sound, haptic feedback, whether satisfied clues dim, reduced motion.

Now solve the list the way you would solve a board: by what it rules out. It never asks your name. It holds no address, postal or electronic. It does not read the advertising identifier Android offers. It assembles no combination of handset properties into something that would serve as a fingerprint. And it mints no installation number, which is the quiet one that matters most — without such a number there is no way to tell your copy of Zanka from the hundred thousandth copy, by us or by anyone. Those entries are additionally fenced in: Android keeps one app's private storage beyond the reach of every other app on the same telephone.

Deleting the app deletes the lot. If you would rather keep Zanka and begin again from a blank board list, the settings screen carries a control that wipes the record, and the identical effect is available from Android under "clear data".

Notices of this kind usually set a ground from Article 6 beside each item gathered. This one sets none beside anything, which deserves an explanation rather than a silence.

First: what the Regulation regulates is a controller processing personal data, and the entries in the previous section sit on hardware belonging to you, untouched by us. Second: they identify nobody. Strip out every identifier and what remains describes a telephone's puzzle history, not an identified or identifiable person. Third: a ground exists to justify holding something. We are holding nothing. In our possession those entries have roughly the standing of a half-finished crossword abandoned on a café table.

All of which is true only while the premise holds, so watch the premise. Should a future build acquire a login screen, an advert, a measurement library or a shop, this text is rewritten in the very release that introduces it, with a ground stated beside every new item. How to do that is spelled out in the comment block closing this file.

The absent consent banner has the same explanation. There is no embedded browser in Zanka, no counting pixel, no library that writes an identifier, and no traffic for any of them to ride on — so the ePrivacy requirements as Slovenia implements them have nothing here to attach to.

If Zanka ever asks for a permission not named here, decline it and write to loop@maks-mane.world with the version number. Either this page has gone stale or the package you are holding did not come from us.

Everything described so far begins at the moment you open Zanka. Getting it onto the telephone happens earlier and elsewhere, through Google Play, and that is Google's process on Google's terms with you. The download, each later update and any rating you leave are logged by Google against the account you used, governed by the privacy policy Google publishes for its own services. We are not a party to that and cannot alter what it keeps. On our side of the wall the Play Console shows pre-aggregated numbers: how many installs, in which countries, which crashes cluster together, what the ratings average. No row of it is a person and no row of it is a device.

Equally, nothing of your account is visible to us — not the mail address behind it, not a payment method, not the list of telephones it is signed into. Settings that govern Google's retention are inside that account, which means a request about them belongs with Google. Addressed to us it would simply be forwarded, slowly.

One caution about the store listing itself: a review is public the instant it is posted, carried under whichever display name your account uses. Anyone who opens the listing reads it, now and years from now. Write accordingly.

Sub-contracting presupposes something to sub-contract. There is no hosting arrangement behind Zanka, no measurement supplier, no fault-reporting service, no advertising partner, no newsletter platform and no payment agent, because none of those activities takes place. Article 13(1)(e) obliges a controller to set out the categories of recipient, and here the obligation is discharged by saying there are none — not "none that we consider significant", simply none.

The question of international transfer closes on the same ground. Nothing is relied upon, signed or invoked, since nothing departs: an adequacy decision, a set of standard clauses, a derogation under Article 49 are all answers to a movement that does not occur. A best time written on your telephone remains on it, and what stays put crosses no frontier.

Recorded here as a boundary rather than a silence: the download route in the previous section runs over Google's own systems under Google's own agreement with you, and that is true before this software is installed and independent of whatever it does afterwards.

Retention. A retention clause normally states a duration. This one states a condition instead, because the duration belongs to you: the record persists while you want it and ceases the instant you clear it or uninstall. There is no second copy anywhere — not in an overnight backup, not in an archive, not on a machine of ours — so your decision is the last word rather than the first step in a deletion process.

Children. Zanka carries a general-audience rating, and a dots-and-numbers puzzle is a sensible thing to hand to a child. Run through the usual parental worries and each one comes back empty: no adverts are shown, nothing can be bought from inside the game, there is no chat and nobody else's uploaded material appears. Article 8 governs a child's consent to information-society services; nothing is gathered from players of any age at all, so the question of consent never arises, and a consent given here would be consent to nothing. Slovenia fixes that threshold at 15 in ZVOP-2 — recorded as a reference point for whoever one day adds advertising and must then take it seriously.

Each of the eight is yours entirely. The only variable is the place of exercise, and for this app the place is almost always your own telephone rather than our correspondence. Inventing a request form to make the table look busier would be the less honest option, so the table below says what would actually happen.

No charge attaches to any of it, no form exists for it, and at no point are you asked to establish your identity. A controller with no file on you has nothing to match a document against; the request would be theatre, and complying with it would hand us the one piece of personal data we had successfully avoided.

MAKS-MANE d.o.o. is a Slovenian company, so the General Data Protection Regulation applies alongside the national statute Zakon o varstvu osebnih podatkov (ZVOP-2), and the supervisory authority is the Informacijski pooblaščenec — the Information Commissioner — Dunajska cesta 22, 1000 Ljubljana, ip-rs.si.

You are not confined to Ljubljana. Article 77 lets a complaint go to the authority of the member state where you habitually reside, or where you are employed, or where the alleged infringement took place — three doors, any of which you may pick purely because it is the easiest for you to reach. No clause on this page restricts that, and a clause attempting to would be void.

A suggestion about sequence, which is only a suggestion: a question put to us is usually answered within a day, whereas any supervisory authority has procedures and a caseload. Nothing requires you to try us first, nothing we say can close the Commissioner's door, and a complaint lodged there while you are still corresponding with us is perfectly in order.

Everything goes to loop@maks-mane.world: a right you want to use, a claim on this page you think is false, a permission dialogue that contradicts section 4, or a plain question about how any of it works. Write in Slovenian or in English, as the app itself does.

The stamp on the title card is the version marker, and it advances whenever a word below it does. Our rule about timing is strict: where a revision has real content behind it — information of a kind not previously held, a party newly receiving something, data leaving the country, a purpose added — it is published together with the release that brings about the change, not trailing a fortnight behind it. So the stamp answers the only question that matters, which is whether this text describes the build in your hand. Older versions are not discarded; ask and one will be sent.
