Summary: VikingTasks collects no data. There is no account with the developer, no analytics, no ads and no tracking. Your tasks live on your device and in your own iCloud, or on the server you choose.
1. Data controller
Adrián Fernández López, independent developer. Contact: info@theviking.me.
2. Data we collect
VikingTasks collects no data. The developer does not receive your tasks, lists, tags or any information about how you use the app, and there is no account with the developer.
3. Two ways to use the app
VikingTasks can work in two ways. In both, your data never goes through servers run by the developer.
4. "On this device" mode
- Your tasks, lists, tags and settings are stored on your device.
- To sync between your own devices, the app uses the private database of your own iCloud (CloudKit), tied to your Apple ID. It uses your iCloud storage and only you can access it. Apple operates iCloud under its own terms.
- If you share a list through iCloud sharing, its content is visible to the people you invite and is stored in iCloud as CloudKit sharing works. The developer is not involved and has no access.
5. "Connect to a VikingTasks server" mode
- Your data is stored on the server you choose or run (VikingTasks is self-hostable). The developer has no access to that server or its contents; the applicable data policy is that of whoever runs it.
- Sign-in uses passkeys and, optionally, Sign in with Apple, always against that server.
- The session token is kept in your device's Keychain.
- Shared lists, friends and invitations are handled on that server between its users.
- Optional attachments are stored on your server.
6. Location
VikingTasks can use your location only while the app is in use and only while a shopping list is open, to show you the products of the store you are at. It is optional: you can deny the permission and keep using the app.
- In "On this device" mode the location never leaves the device.
- In server mode, the coordinates are sent to your own server to find nearby saved stores. They are not stored.
7. Analytics, ads and tracking
VikingTasks contains no ads, analytics, trackers or third-party SDKs, and has no in-app purchases.
8. Your rights (GDPR)
- Access and portability: your data is on your device, in your iCloud or on your server.
- Erasure: delete tasks from the app or uninstall it to remove local data; iCloud data is managed from the iCloud storage settings of your Apple ID, and server data with whoever runs the server.
9. Changes to this policy
Any material change will be posted on this page and reflected in the "Last updated" date.
