Sprout

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 7, 2026

1. Who Is Responsible

The controller for the personal data described in this policy is Pablo Galve, an individual developer based in Austria, email support@the-sprout.app. Further legal details are listed in the Impressum. References to "I", "me", or "the provider" in this policy mean Pablo Galve.

2. Data We Process

3. Why We Use This Data and on What Legal Basis

Sprout does not sell personal data and does not make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

4. Recipients and International Transfers

These providers process data on my behalf or as independent controllers for their own store and payment services. Google, RevenueCat, and Sentry are based in the United States, so data may be transferred there. Such transfers rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified under it, and otherwise on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR). I do not share personal data with any other third parties.

5. Children

Creating a Sprout account is meant for people aged 16 or older. A parent can also set Sprout up on a child's device to limit the child's apps; the parent agrees to this during setup. On a device set up for a child, usage analytics and advertising measurement are switched off once setup is finished, and stay off unless the parent turns them on in Settings → Privacy. Crash reports are still sent so the app keeps working. If you believe a child has created an account without a parent's agreement, contact me and I will delete it.

6. Data Retention

7. Your Rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict its processing, and to receive it in a portable format. Where processing relies on legitimate interest, you can object at any time (Art. 21 GDPR); for analytics and advertising measurement the switches in Settings → Privacy do this directly. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting processing that happened before. To exercise your rights, email support@the-sprout.app or use the in-app delete option.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular the one in your country of residence. In Austria this is the Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Wien, www.dsb.gv.at.

8. Deleting Your Data

You can delete your account at any time from the app's Settings → Delete Account option. This removes your Firebase authentication record, your Firestore user document, and the other Firestore data linked to your account, and asks Google Analytics to erase this device's analytics data. Because screen time, blocking, activity, and temporary unblock data is stored locally, uninstalling Sprout or clearing its app data removes that information from your device. To have crash or subscription records deleted as well, email support@the-sprout.app. For details, see the Delete Account page.

9. Security

I take reasonable measures to protect data handled by Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Sentry. Firestore security rules limit each signed-in user to their own user document. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

10. Liability

Sprout is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the provider is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the app or third-party services outside reasonable control.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
