This Privacy Policy explains how Acuna (“Acuna”, “the app”, “we”, “us”) handles information. Acuna is published by Atlander, Unipessoal, Lda, a company registered in Portugal (NIF/NIPC 516934473), with registered office at Avenida Valbom 17, 2.º D, 2750-508 Cascais, Portugal (“Atlander”). Atlander is the data controller for the limited processing described below. You can contact us at support@acuna.app.
Acuna is built to be private. Your diary — the drinks you log, your targets, and everything you record — is stored only on your device. We do not collect it, we cannot see it, and it is never sent to us or to any server we control. Acuna has no user accounts, asks for no email or sign-up to use, shows no ads, and does not track your behaviour.
1. The information you enter stays on your device
When you use Acuna, the entries you create (for example: drinks logged, quantities, alcohol content, dates, your weekly targets, and settings) are stored locally on your device using your device’s standard on-device storage. This information:
- remains on your device;
- is not transmitted to Atlander or to any third party by the app;
- is not accessible to us.
Because we never receive this information, we cannot read it, export it, sell it, or share it. If you delete the app, this on-device information is removed from your device (see also “iCloud backup” below).
2. What Acuna does not do
- No account and no email are required to use the app.
- No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
- No analytics or behavioural-tracking tools that profile you.
- No selling or sharing of your data — there is nothing for us to sell or share.
- No third-party trackers embedded in the app.
3. iCloud backup (controlled by you and Apple, not by us)
If you have iCloud Backup enabled on your device, Apple’s operating system may include Acuna’s on-device data in your device’s normal iCloud backup, together with your other apps. This backup is stored in your personal iCloud account, is controlled by you and by Apple, and is governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy. Atlander has no access to your iCloud backup and receives no data from it. You can turn iCloud Backup on or off in your device settings.
4. Purchases
Acuna offers a one-time in-app purchase to unlock the app after a free trial. All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or process your payment card details or billing information. Apple may provide us with aggregated and/or anonymised sales and download reports (for example, the number of purchases in a country). Your use of the App Store and your Apple Account are governed by Apple’s terms and Privacy Policy. If you request a refund, this is handled by Apple.
5. Our website (acuna.app)
Our website is a simple informational page. It is hosted by our hosting provider (Vercel Inc.), which may automatically process limited technical information (such as IP address and basic request logs) for the purpose of serving and securing the website, as is standard for web hosting. The website does not set advertising cookies and does not run behavioural-advertising trackers. If we add any analytics to the website in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required, ask for your consent.
6. If you contact us
If you email us (for example at support@acuna.app), we will receive your email address and the content of your message, and we will use them solely to respond to you and to keep a record of our correspondence.
7. Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK)
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we rely on the following legal bases for the limited processing we carry out:
- performing our contract with you and providing the app and purchase you request (Art. 6(1)(b));
- our legitimate interests in operating and securing our website and responding to your enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f));
- complying with legal obligations, for example tax and accounting obligations relating to sales (Art. 6(1)(c)).
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights over your personal data, including the rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. Because the app itself stores your diary only on your device and we do not hold it, these rights primarily concern any correspondence you send us or purchase records held by Apple. To exercise your rights regarding data we hold (such as email correspondence), contact us at support@acuna.app. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in Portugal, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), or your local data protection authority.
9. Data retention
We keep email correspondence only for as long as needed to handle your request and to meet legal or accounting requirements, after which it is deleted. Your on-device diary is retained on your device for as long as you keep the app installed and choose to keep it; you control it entirely.
10. International transfers
Apple and our hosting provider may process limited information (such as purchase records or website request logs) on servers located outside your country, including in the United States. Where such transfers occur, they are carried out under appropriate safeguards (such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or an applicable adequacy framework).
11. Children
Acuna relates to alcohol consumption and is intended for adults. The app is not directed to children and is not intended for anyone under the age of 18 (or the legal drinking age in your country, if higher). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
12. Security
Because your diary is stored on your device, its security depends primarily on your device’s own protections (such as your passcode and device encryption). We keep any information you send us (such as email) protected with reasonable measures.
13. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above and post the new version at this address. Significant changes will be made clear.
