Privacy Policy

What stays on your device

Your answers, the weight you give each issue, and your match results are stored only on your device. The scoring runs entirely there.

They are never transmitted to us. We cannot read them, export them, or hand them to anyone — not to parties, not to advertisers, not to authorities — because we do not have them.

The same goes for the parties you follow, your notification settings, and the party logos the app saves to show in notifications: they stay on your device and are never sent to us.

Your political opinions

Your answers can reveal political opinions, which European data-protection law (GDPR, Article 9) treats as a special category of data. That is exactly why they never leave your device: we never receive, store or process them, in any form.

What the app sends

The app only downloads public content: the bundle of party positions, sources and media, the parties’ news feed, and the oldest app version that still works, which your phone compares with its own. It is the same for everyone, and the requests carry no identifiers and none of your answers — only the country. The news always comes for the whole country, and your phone picks out your parties. Nothing ties them to you.

If you turn on notifications (they are off until you do), the app repeats that same public news request every few hours in the background, even when it is closed, and the notification is made on your phone. There are no push notifications: we never learn whether notifications are on or which parties you follow. Turn them off and the background requests stop.

Our infrastructure provider: Cloudflare

Like any internet request, the app’s requests pass through Cloudflare, Inc., which acts as our data processor. Cloudflare sees your device’s IP address in order to route the traffic, encrypt the connection and protect the service from abuse: it counts requests per address over a few seconds and briefly blocks addresses that send too many. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in providing a working, secure service (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Cloudflare may process this data outside the European Union, including in the United States. These transfers are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Cloudflare keeps its own logs under its own privacy policy (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy).

Our own server does not use your IP address. No part of our code reads it: it is never written to a log or a database, and our request logs record only Cloudflare’s own connection, not yours. It could not be linked to your answers in any case — your answers never reach us.

What we don’t do

• No accounts, no sign-up.
• No analytics SDK, no usage statistics.
• No advertising, no third-party trackers.
• No cookies, in the app or on this site.

How the match is calculated

The match is calculated on your device, with the same method for every party, and the app explains it. It is information for you to use as you see fit, not a decision about you: no profile is built and no automated decision with legal or similarly significant effects is taken (GDPR Art. 22).

Sharing your result

Sharing is always something you start, through your operating system’s share sheet: you pick the destination and what to send. The app never posts anything on your behalf, and never learns whether you shared.

Sources and external links

When you tap a source — a programme, an article, a parliamentary record — it opens in your browser on the publisher’s own site, under that site’s privacy policy. The app does not record which links you open and tells no one.

Google Play and the App Store

The app is distributed through Google Play and Apple’s App Store. Downloading and updating it is handled by Google and Apple as independent controllers, under their own privacy policies. From them we receive only aggregated, anonymous statistics, such as the number of installs and the crash rate.

This website

No cookies, no analytics, no CDN. Fonts and images — including party logos — are served from this domain, so visiting this page does not announce your visit to anyone else.

When you open the home page we use two things that already arrive with every visit: the country, which Cloudflare works out from the connection (we never read your IP address), and the language set in your browser. They serve only to show you the right version straight away — from Spain, for example, the Spanish or Catalan one with the Spanish parties. We store neither, and you can always switch version from the picker at the top of the page.

If you contact us

If you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever your message contains, and we use them only to reply. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering you, or the steps you asked us to take (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and (f)).

We keep the conversation for up to 12 months after it ends, then delete it, unless the law requires us to keep it longer. Please do not send us your answers or results: we do not need them to help you.

How long we keep data

• Your answers and results: only on your device, until you delete them.
• Our servers: no personal data at all.
• Cloudflare: under Cloudflare’s own retention rules.
• Emails you send us: up to 12 months after the conversation ends.

Children

The app is not aimed at children under 14, the age of digital consent in Spain. It collects no personal data from anyone, children included.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the app (or clearing its storage in your system settings) removes everything, because everything lives on the device. There is no need to ask us: there is nothing on our side to delete.

In the app, “Delete my results” in Settings also removes the parties you follow.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase and port your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on it. Since we hold no data that can be linked to you — apart from any email you send us — there is usually nothing to act on in practice, but you can always write to us.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: in Spain, where we are based, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es), or the authority of the country where you live.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we publish the new version on this page with a new date. If a change affects what the app does with data, we also say so in the app’s release notes.
