• No tracking identifiers
• No background network requests

4. Local Storage Only

Any data used by the app (such as:

• app preferences)

exists only on your device.

Wikifacts has no backend server and no cloud storage.

Uninstalling the app permanently removes all app data.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Art. 6)

Since Wikifacts does not collect or process any personal data, no legal basis for data processing under GDPR Article 6 is required.

Any local storage of app preferences on your device is solely for the functionality of the app and does not constitute personal data processing as defined by the GDPR.

6. Content Sources

Wikifacts displays educational content derived from:

• Wikipedia
• Other publicly available knowledge sources

This content is pre-generated and bundled with the app.

Wikipedia content is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license.

7. Network Usage

Wikifacts does not require an internet connection to function.

If a future version introduces optional online features, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

8. Third-Party Services

Wikifacts does not use:

• analytics SDKs
• advertising SDKs
• crash reporting tools
• tracking libraries

9. Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of Access (Art. 15) – The right to obtain confirmation whether personal data is being processed
• Right to Rectification (Art. 16) – The right to correct inaccurate personal data
• Right to Erasure (Art. 17) – The right to have personal data deleted
• Right to Restriction (Art. 18) – The right to restrict processing of personal data
• Right to Data Portability (Art. 20) – The right to receive personal data in a portable format
• Right to Object (Art. 21) – The right to object to data processing
• Right to Lodge a Complaint (Art. 77) – The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Important: Since Wikifacts does not collect any personal data, these rights do not apply in practice. There is no personal data to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, or object to.

If you believe your rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. In Germany, this is the state data protection authority of your residence.

10. Children's Privacy

Wikifacts does not collect data from anyone, including children.

As no personal data is collected, there is no risk of child data being stored or processed.

11. Data Retention

Wikifacts does not store any personal data on external servers. All app data exists only locally on your device and is permanently deleted when you uninstall the app.

12. International Data Transfers

Wikifacts does not transfer any data internationally or to any third parties. All data remains exclusively on your device.

13. Changes to This Policy

If Wikifacts adds optional online or data-related features in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated and the changes will be clearly communicated.
