# StarterSeeds Privacy Policy / Datenschutzerklärung

**TL;DR: I collect zero data. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.**

StarterSeeds does not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal information or usage data whatsoever.

## Data Controller

Dennis Tobias Atkins
Hohenstädter Straße 32
91230 Happurg, Germany
Email: dennis@atkins.sh

Full details are available in the Legal Notice & Terms of Use document.

## My Privacy Commitment

StarterSeeds is designed with your privacy as a top priority. This app operates entirely on your device, and I have no interest in collecting, analyzing, or monetizing your data.

## What Data I Collect

**None.** StarterSeeds does not collect any personal data, usage data, or analytics. All information you enter into the app stays on your device.

## What Data Stays on Your Device

Any data you create or store within StarterSeeds remains locally on your iPhone. This includes:

- All app content and user-generated data
- App preferences and settings
- Any other information processed by the app

This data is never transmitted to me or any third party.

## Apple Analytics

If you have opted in to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone settings (*Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Share iPhone & Watch Analytics*), Apple may provide me with anonymous, aggregated crash reports and basic usage statistics through Xcode.

This data:

- Is entirely controlled by your iOS settings
- Is anonymous and cannot be linked to you personally
- Helps me identify and fix technical issues
- Is only available if you explicitly enable it in your device settings

I do not request, collect, or access this data beyond what Apple automatically provides to developers who have apps in the App Store. Where this anonymous data reaches me, the legal basis is my legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) in maintaining a stable, bug-free app. Apple acts as an independent controller for this data; see Apple's own privacy policy for details on how Apple processes it.

## Third-Party Services

StarterSeeds does not integrate with any third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or data collection frameworks. There are no SDKs, trackers, or external services embedded in the app.

## Your Rights / Ihre Rechte

Regarding any data described above, you have the following rights under the GDPR:

- **Right of access** (Art. 15 GDPR)
- **Right to rectification** (Art. 16 GDPR)
- **Right to erasure** (Art. 17 GDPR)
- **Right to restriction of processing** (Art. 18 GDPR)
- **Right to data portability** (Art. 20 GDPR)
- **Right to object** (Art. 21 GDPR)

To exercise any of these rights, contact me using the details above.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for me is:

**Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA)**
Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany
https://www.lda.bayern.de

## Children's Privacy

Because StarterSeeds does not collect any personal data, there are no data-protection-specific risks tied to a user's age. The app's age rating on the App Store product page reflects the recommended minimum age for its content.

## Changes to This Policy

If I ever change my data collection practices (which I have no plans to do), I will update this privacy policy and the "Last Updated" date below. I will also notify users through the app if any material changes are made.

## Contact & Legal Notice

For further contact details and legal information, please refer to the Legal Notice & Terms of Use document.
