4. Data collected automatically

5. Advertising and consent

The free version of Pintmark shows ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may process your device's advertising ID, IP address and ad interactions to serve and measure ads, limit how often you see them and prevent fraud. Ads are personalized only if you allow it.

6. Guest mode

If you use Pintmark without signing in, your check-ins are stored only on your device and are not sent to our servers (analytics, crash reports and ads described above still apply). If you sign in later, the app offers to move them to your account.

7. Who can see what

8. How we use data and our legal bases

We don't make automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.

9. Service providers and where data is stored

Some providers may process data outside your country (for example in the United States) under safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Their policies: Google Privacy Policy, Firebase privacy, Apple Privacy Policy.

10. What we don't do

11. Retention and account deletion

12. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or Türkiye's KVKK), you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your data, to receive it in a portable format and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us; we reply within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

13. Age requirement

Pintmark is a journal about beer culture and is intended only for people aged 18 or over (or the legal drinking age in your country, if higher). The app doesn't sell alcohol or encourage drinking. If we learn that an account belongs to a minor, we delete it.

14. Security

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS). Access is limited by Firebase security rules to authorized users (for example, only the two people in a conversation can read its messages), and sensitive operations run only on our server. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.

15. Changes

We may update this policy. We will publish changes on this page and update the date at the top; for significant changes we will also let you know in the app.
