4.1 Backend and Hosting

4.10 Website install flow

The /install route uses the browser language to select the localized download section of the Website. Where automatic mobile-store routing is active, it also uses the broad device type (iOS/iPadOS, Android, or other) to select the App Store, Google Play, or the Website fallback. This information is used for routing; when server-side measurement is active, it may also be used to produce aggregate statistics about requests and store links. The route does not prove that the App was installed.

When server-side measurement is active, the Website may send limited request and store-link information from its server to PostHog, hosted in the European Union, to produce aggregate statistics. When active, this measurement relies on the Controller’s legitimate interest in checking that the links work and improving the Service’s distribution. When campaign-parameter forwarding is active, valid UTM parameters describe only general campaigns or distribution placements and must not contain data referring to an individual recipient; they may be forwarded to Apple or Google when a store link is followed. The flow does not use cookies, local or session storage, browser analytics tools, session-recording tools, or persistent browser identifiers, and it does not create personal profiles. If the browser communicates a global privacy preference, measurement and parameter forwarding are not performed.

Cloudflare processes the technical data needed to deliver the request. After the redirect, Apple and Google may process data under their own notices and settings.

To exercise rights, including the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest where applicable, use the Controller’s existing contact path in this notice: info@razehub.it, Raze S.R.L., Via IV Novembre 84, 23868 Valmadrera (LC), Italy.

5. International Data Transfers

The User's personal data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), particularly to the United States, in connection with the third-party services listed above.

Such transfers are based on:

PostHog and Sentry host data entirely within the European Union (eu.i.posthog.com and ingest.de.sentry.io respectively), therefore no extra-EU transfer occurs for these services.

6. Data Retention Periods

Data category Retention period
Anonymous session and UUID For the duration of App use. Deleted upon uninstallation or after a prolonged period of inactivity.
User preferences (categories, notifications, favourites, theme) For the duration of App use
Transaction and billing data 10 years from the transaction (Italian tax obligation ex Art. 2220 Civil Code)
Analytics (PostHog) The project currently reports 84 months of event retention. This value must be re-verified at each release and does not, by itself, determine the legally applicable retention period.
Crash reporting (Sentry) 90 days
Firebase Analytics Raw data: maximum 14 months (Google Analytics 4 setting)
Advertising data (AdMob, Unity Ads, Meta, AppLovin) According to Google's retention policy
Push token Until notification deactivation or App uninstallation

7. Data Subject Rights

Under Articles 15-22 of the GDPR, the User has the right to:

The Controller undertakes to respond to requests within 30 days of receipt, extendable by a further 60 days in case of particular complexity (Art. 12(3) GDPR).

Important notice (Art. 11 GDPR): As the App does not require registration and uses exclusively anonymous identifiers (UUID), the Controller may not be able to identify the Data Subject. In such cases, the rights under Articles 15-20 do not apply, unless the Data Subject provides additional information enabling their identification.

To withdraw consent for personalised advertising:

Complaint to the Supervisory Authority: The User has the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali): Piazza Venezia 11, 00187 Rome — email: protocollo@gpdp.it — website: https://www.garanteprivacy.it

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Website (app.gpkingdom.it): The Website uses only technical cookies necessary for operation (Cloudflare). No profiling cookies, third-party advertising cookies, or browser analytics tools are used on website pages. The /install route uses the browser language and, where automatic mobile-store routing is active, the broad device type, without cookies or identifiers stored on the device; when server-side measurement is active, it may send limited server-side request and store-link information to produce aggregate statistics; when campaign-parameter forwarding is active, it may forward valid, general UTM parameters when a store link is followed.

Mobile App: The App does not use cookies. Tracking SDKs (Firebase Analytics, Google AdMob) are activated exclusively after the User's explicit consent through the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) framework, compliant with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) 2.0. Firebase Analytics data collection is disabled by default (analytics_auto_collection_enabled: false) and is enabled only after obtaining consent.

9. Push Notifications

The App may send push notifications via the Expo Notifications service. Notifications are exclusively editorial and service-related:

No promotional or marketing notifications are sent.

The User can customise the notification priority level (all, important, urgent) from the App settings. Notifications can be deactivated at any time from the device settings.

10. Children

The App is rated 4+ on the Apple and Google stores. It does not knowingly collect directly identifiable personal data from children under 14, as it does not require any registration with personal data.

Should the Controller become aware that it has collected personal data from minors without adequate consent, it will promptly delete such data.

11. Nature of Data Provision

The App does not require mandatory personal data for its basic use. The following permissions are entirely optional:

Refusal to grant these permissions does not affect access to the App's core features.

12. Data Security

The Controller adopts appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data (Art. 32 GDPR):

13. Changes to this Policy

The Controller reserves the right to make changes to this notice at any time. Changes will be published on this page with an updated date. In the event of substantial changes, the Controller will notify Users through the App or the Website.
