Satzpunkt Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 9, 2026

DineAByte (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the Satzpunkt mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we process when you use Satzpunkt, especially when you sign in with Apple or Google, host online rooms, or enable push notifications.

1. Who We Are

DineAByte is the controller for the processing described in this Privacy Policy. If you have privacy-related questions, contact us at [email protected].

2. Data We Process

Depending on how you use Satzpunkt, we may process the following categories of data:

• Account and sign-in data: if you sign in with Apple or Google, our authentication system processes your email address, provider user ID, and basic profile information made available by the provider, such as your name.
• Profile data: your display name and optional Playtomic profile URL.
• Match, tournament, and room data: tournament and match state, room codes, participant display names, player names, scores, standings, and related content entered in the App.
• Guest room participation data: if you join an online room without creating an account, the display name you enter and your participation in that room are still processed on our servers.
• Device and notification data: an app-generated device identifier, your platform (iOS or Android), and an Expo push token if you enable push notifications.
• Local device data: Satzpunkt also stores app data locally on your device so parts of the App can work offline.

3. How We Use Data

We use this data to:

• authenticate users and manage accounts;
• host online tournaments and rooms, sync scores in real time, and save tournament history to your account;
• show your profile information inside the App;
• send push notifications related to room activity if you have granted notification permission; and
• protect the service against misuse and keep it functioning reliably.

4. Legal Bases Under GDPR

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) to provide sign-in, online rooms, score sync, saved tournaments, and profile features.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where required, for example when you grant push-notification permission on your device.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to secure, maintain, and improve the service.

5. Third Parties and Service Providers

Our main application backend and database are hosted on servers in Germany. We also rely on the following external services where needed:

• Apple and Google as identity providers when you choose social sign-in.
• Expo for over-the-air app updates and, if enabled, push notification delivery.

We do not use third-party advertising SDKs, and we do not sell personal data. Apple, Google, and Expo may process data under their own privacy terms when their services are used.

6. Data Retention

Data stored only on your device remains there until you delete it or uninstall the App. Server-side account, profile, tournament, room, and push-token data is retained for as long as needed to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or respond to deletion requests.

7. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to certain processing. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise your rights, contact [email protected].

8. Children’s Privacy

Satzpunkt is not specifically directed to children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us without appropriate authorization, contact us and we will review the request.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
