Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 October 2026
This policy covers the TiMa Studios website and every app we publish. Each app has its own entry at the end, and a new app gets its entry here before it is released.
The short version
- Our apps do not require an account, and we never ask for your email address or phone number inside them.
- What you enter in our apps is stored on your device. We have no server that receives it and we cannot see it.
- We do not sell personal data and we do not build profiles of you.
- None of our apps show ads. If an app uses any outside service, that is stated in the app's entry below.
- The only personal data we hold ourselves is what you send us when you write to support.
1. Who is responsible
TiMa Studios is a brand of Sopranix SRL, a company registered in Romania, CUI 55371421, with its registered office at Str. Făgăraș nr. 19, Biroul 2, Buftea, Ilfov 070000, Romania. Sopranix SRL is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.
Contact for any privacy question or request: support@timastudios.app.
2. What data is involved
| Data you keep in an app | Records, settings, progress, names you choose and photos you attach. Stored on your device and in your device's own backup (for example iCloud), which is run by Apple or Google under your account. Not sent to us. |
|---|---|
| Support messages | Your email address and whatever you include in your message, such as device model, system version or screenshots. We receive this because you send it. |
| Purchases and tips | Handled by the app store. We receive confirmation that a purchase was made and sales reports that do not identify you. We never receive your card details. |
| Diagnostics | If you have agreed on your device to share analytics with app developers, Apple or Google may show us combined crash and usage statistics. They do not identify you. |
| Requests to outside services | When an app downloads information from the internet, such as prices, the service that answers sees your IP address, as with any internet request. The request does not include your records. |
| This website | No accounts, no advertising and no analytics cookies. The site has one optional form: the "notify me at launch" box on an app's page. If you use it, the email address you give us is stored with Cloudflare, our hosting company, and used only to send that one launch announcement; afterwards the list is deleted. You can have your address removed at any time by writing to support@timastudios.app. The company that hosts the site also keeps standard technical logs (such as IP address and time of visit) for security. |
3. Device permissions
An app asks for a permission only when a feature needs it, and you can refuse or withdraw it in your device settings.
- Camera and photos: to attach a photo you choose. The photo stays on your device.
- Face ID or Touch ID: to lock an app. The check is done by your device. We never receive biometric data.
- Notifications: to show alerts you have turned on.
4. Why we use data and on what legal basis
| Answering support requests | Our legitimate interest in helping you and fixing problems (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). |
|---|---|
| Delivering purchases | Performance of a contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b)), and legal obligations for accounting records (Art. 6(1)(c)). |
| Improving stability | Our legitimate interest in keeping apps working, using only the combined statistics described above (Art. 6(1)(f)). |
5. Who else is involved
We do not sell personal data. We share it only with providers that make the services work, and only as far as they need it:
- Apple and Google, as operators of the app stores, device backups and payment systems.
- Our email provider, for support messages.
- Our website host.
- Providers named in an app's entry below, such as price sources.
Some of these providers are outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred there, it is protected by an adequacy decision or by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
We may disclose data if the law requires it, for example in response to a valid request from a public authority.
6. How long we keep data
Support messages are kept for up to two years after your request is closed, then deleted. Accounting records about purchases are kept for as long as tax law requires. Data stored on your device stays there until you delete it or delete the app.
7. Security
Keeping your data on your own device is our main protection: there is no central database of user records to breach. Support email is stored with a provider that uses encryption in transit and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, so please protect your device with a passcode and keep your own backups.
8. Children
Our apps are made for a general audience and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, write to us and we will delete it.
9. Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us for access to your personal data, for its correction or deletion, for a copy in a portable format, and to restrict or object to how we use it. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. If you live in another country or state with similar laws, you have the rights those laws give you.
Write to support@timastudios.app. We reply within one month and do not charge for it. Because app data is stored only on your device, you can view, export or delete it yourself inside each app.
You can also complain to a data protection authority. In Romania this is the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP), dataprotection.ro.
10. App by app
Metals
- No account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
- Your pieces, prices paid, serial numbers, storage places and certificate photos stay on your iPhone and in your phone's own backup.
- Prices are requested from the National Bank of Romania and gold-api.com. These requests contain nothing about what you own.
- Backups, CSV exports, PDFs and shared images are files you create and decide where to send.
- Tips are processed by the App Store.
- Full text: Metals Privacy Policy.
Dictatorville
- No account, no email address, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
- Progress, settings and purchased items are saved on your device. If iCloud is turned on, they are also backed up to your own iCloud account (iCloud key-value storage, run by Apple) so they come back on a new iPhone. We cannot see this data.
- Optional local notifications (for example "energy full" or "your daily reward is waiting") are scheduled on your device. The game asks before sending any, and you can turn them off in the game's Settings or in iOS Settings.
- Purchases are processed by Apple.
Each app's store listing also shows the privacy details that apply to that app.
11. Changes to this policy
When we change this policy we publish the new version on this page and update the date at the top. If a change affects how an app you use handles your data, we will also say so in that app's update notes.
