Privacy

The app collects nothing. The website only collects what you leave there yourself.

The app

Coureur asks for no account and does not know who you are. No registration, no login, no profile on a server. In App Store Connect the app is therefore listed as Data Not Collected.

What does happen on your device, and where it stays:

• Your results and your nickname live in the app's storage on your own device. The nickname you enter at first launch never leaves your device; not even to iCloud.
• Your statistics and your streak travel to your other Apple devices through iCloud, if you use iCloud. That runs entirely through Apple with your own Apple account; we have no access to it and cannot see that it happens.
• Notifications are scheduled on the device itself. No push service is involved, so there is no device token registered anywhere.
• There is no analytics software in the app and no advertising. No trackers, no third-party SDK looking over your shoulder.

The only time the app goes online

At most once a day the app checks whether a newer rider database is available on this website. That is an ordinary request for a file: no identification, no device id and no game data travel with it. What the server records is described under The website. If the request fails, nothing happens and you never notice; the app works fully offline.

Game Center

The app can post your result to a Game Center leaderboard, so you can compare yourself with friends. That is Apple's own service: it leans on the Apple ID already on your device, and you do not have to use it. Decline it and the rest of the app works exactly the same.

Here too, we collect nothing. No data reaches us; everything runs between your device and Apple. What ends up on a leaderboard is your score and the player name you set in Game Center; that name is chosen and managed at Apple, not with us. We have no server and no view of who is playing. For what Apple itself processes, Apple's privacy policy applies.

If you take out a subscription

Payments go through Apple. We receive no name, no address and no payment details from Apple; only whether a valid subscription exists, and the app reads that directly from Apple. For what Apple itself processes, Apple's privacy policy applies.

The website

What any web server records in order to work: your IP address, the address requested, the time and the browser type. Those logs serve to investigate faults and abuse, and are not used to track or profile visitors.

Visitor measurement

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to count how many people come by and which pages they read. It is the only script on the site and the only thing loaded from elsewhere. It is there to answer a single question; does anyone come here, and do they find their way?; for an app with no marketing budget.

What Google processes for this: a cookie on your device holding a random number by which your visits are recognised, your IP address, the pages you request, the time, and general information about your browser, device and approximate location (country or region, not your address). No name, no email address and no game data goes with it: the app sends nothing to this site, and the sign-up form is entirely separate.

This concerns the website only. The app contains no analytics software; no Google Analytics, none at all. Nothing under The app above changes because of this.

Google acts as our processor here; for what Google itself does with that data, Google's privacy policy applies. If you would rather not be measured, you can refuse or block cookies in your browser, or install the Google Analytics opt-out. The site works exactly the same either way; no feature depends on the measurement.

The newsletter

The form lives on this site, styled like everything else; there is no embedded window from a mailing platform. Your address is only sent outward at the moment you click Subscribe, not when the page loads.

If you sign up, you give your email address. It goes straight to a Google Apps Script web app of ours, which writes the address into a spreadsheet in our own Google Drive. No third-party mailing platform is involved: the list is ours, and Google is the party that stores it for us. Your address is the only thing we keep.

The address is used only to announce a new game mode or to send a discount code. It is not sold, not traded and not used for anything else. Every email carries an unsubscribe link that works immediately and without questions.

Who is responsible

The data controller is the publisher of Coureur, established in Belgium and reachable at support@decoureur.eu. Sign-ups are stored with Google (Google Ireland Limited), in a spreadsheet only we can read. No other party ever sees your email address.

Visitor measurement likewise runs through Google (Google Ireland Limited), acting as our processor. See Visitor measurement above for what is processed.

This site is hosted by GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.). Like any web server it sees the IP address of your visit; we have no access to that.

Questions or complaints can be sent to support@decoureur.eu.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct and delete your data, and you can lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority. In practice this only concerns your email address, because that is the only thing we hold; the app sends us nothing. Unsubscribing deletes the address.

Questions or a request? Use the address on the contact page.

Changes

If what the app or the site does changes, this page changes with it and gets a new date. Nothing here is ever changed retroactively.

Language versions

This privacy statement exists in six languages. In case of any discrepancy between the language versions, the Dutch text prevails.
