Personal Data & GDPR

This notice explains what personal data MeaOvis s. r. o. processes in connection with the MeaUnda application and the website MeaUnda.MeaOvis.com, why we process it, on what legal basis, how long we keep it and what rights you have. It is written to meet Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the GDPR) and Act No. 18/2018 Coll. on the protection of personal data.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The controller of the personal data described below is:

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer, because the conditions in Article 37 of the GDPR do not apply to us. Any request concerning personal data is handled directly by the company at the address above.

2. Short summary

• The app sends nothing to us. MeaUnda has no user accounts, no analytics and no server of ours, and it does not send personal data to us or to anyone else. To show MeaUnda Premium prices and check your purchases, iOS contacts Apple's App Store on the app's behalf (section 3.5).
• The microphone is analysed, never recorded. The Noise Detector reads the audio stream in real time on your device. No recording is created, stored or transmitted.
• The free version's limits are kept on your device. The app keeps a small record of when you last started each limited feature in full. The app never sends it anywhere, and it may stay in the device's keychain even after you delete the app (section 3.3).
• On this website we hold only the data connected with your sign-up: your e-mail address, the language you used, your place in the list, a record of your consent and, if you receive one, the offer code we sent you (section 5). Apart from that, there are short-lived server logs (section 7) and any e-mails you send us (section 5.4). We use your address to announce the release of the app and, if your sign-up is among the first 50 valid sign-ups, to send you an Apple offer code for MeaUnda Premium Lifetime.
• No third-party advertising, no tracking, no profiling and no automated decision-making. The free version shows only the app's own promotional screens for MeaUnda Premium; they are built into the app and send nothing (section 3.6).

3. The MeaUnda app

3.1 No personal data is processed by us through the app

MeaUnda runs entirely on your device. It contains no user accounts, no login, no analytics or advertising SDK, no crash-reporting service of ours and no backend server that we operate. Apart from the requests iOS makes to Apple's App Store on the app's behalf to load prices, make purchases and check them (section 3.5), the app makes no internet connections. We therefore receive no personal data from the app and are not able to identify individual users of the app. MeaUnda Premium is bought through Apple and verified on your device (section 3.5), and the promotional screens in the free version are built into the app (section 3.6).

3.2 Microphone

The Noise Detector needs access to the microphone. iOS asks for your permission before the first use and you can withdraw it at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone. While the function is running, the audio signal is analysed in real time in the memory of your device in order to calculate the sound level in decibels. No audio recording is created, saved, or sent anywhere. When you leave the screen, the analysis stops and the data disappears with it. iOS may also ask for microphone access when you send the sound to the top or bottom speaker, or to the speaker while headphones are connected. The app needs this permission only to route the sound there and does not use the microphone for it.

3.3 Data stored on your device

The app stores the following in its own storage on your device:

• your settings: for example the selected program, output level, speaker, run lengths, the Max mode switch, the selected mode and your Work Mode preferences;
• a history of your most recent completed runs (at most 60), shown on the home screen and under Settings → History;
• in Work Mode, the tasks you plan (including the titles you type), a daily work log with your focus time and the titles of the tasks you ticked off, and the state of the timer.

The app never sends this data anywhere and we cannot read it. It is deleted when you delete the app, but like other app data it is included in your device backups (for example iCloud Backup) and comes back when a backup is restored; an iCloud backup is governed by Apple's terms and Apple's privacy policy, not by ours. You can also delete the history under Settings → History → Clear, and the work log on the Work log screen.

The free-version record. To apply the limits of the free version, the app keeps a small record on your device. It contains only:

• when the one free full speaker cleaning was started;
• for each of sessions, routines, focus tones and the Noise Detector, when a full run (not a preview) last started;
• when a promotional screen was last shown;
• the latest date and time the app has seen on the device, so that setting the clock back does not reset the limits;
• the MeaUnda Premium that Apple last confirmed on this device, whether bought or obtained with an offer code: which product (the monthly or yearly subscription, or Premium Lifetime), its expiry date if it has one, and when Apple last confirmed it. If the purchase check on the device temporarily returns nothing, this entry keeps Premium for up to 14 days, never past a subscription's end. The entry is not tied to an Apple Account.

The record contains no name, no Apple Account details, no transaction number, no device identifier, no price and no text you typed. It is kept in two copies on your device: in the iOS Keychain, and in the app's own storage (this copy has no purchase entry). It is not synchronised through iCloud Keychain, the app never sends it anywhere, and we cannot read, export or delete it. The app has no option to delete it either.

The record may remain after you delete the app. The copy in the app's storage is deleted with the app, but the Keychain copy usually stays on the device, so the limits continue to apply if you install the app again. The Keychain copy is removed when you erase the device (Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings). Like other device data, the record may also come back when you restore a backup of the device or move to a new device.

Storing and reading these items is strictly necessary to provide the app in the form you use it (its settings, history and the free version with its limits) and is therefore exempt from consent under § 109(8) of Act No. 452/2021 Coll. on electronic communications.

3.4 Sound output and your health

The app produces loud audible tones and, in the mosquito function, high-frequency tones. In Max mode, a MeaUnda Premium setting of the mosquito function, the sound reaches down to 14 kHz at full output, so expect adults in the room to hear it too. This is a product-safety matter rather than a data-protection one, but it is important: follow the warnings shown in the app, do not hold the device against your ear while a tone is playing, and keep children and pets out of the room while using the mosquito function.

3.5 In-app purchases and offer codes

MeaUnda Premium can be bought in the app as a monthly or yearly subscription, which eligible customers may start with a free trial, or as a one-time purchase, Premium Lifetime. Purchases, free trials, subscription renewals, cancellations, restoring purchases, refunds and the redemption of offer codes all take place on Apple's own screens and in Apple's systems, under Apple's terms and privacy policy (section 15). We do not receive your payment details, your name, your e-mail address or your Apple Account details.

Each time the app starts, iOS loads the MeaUnda Premium products and prices from Apple's App Store, and each time the app starts or returns to the foreground, the app checks your purchases through iOS, which may contact Apple, even if you never buy anything. The app also receives changes that Apple reports, such as a renewal, a refund, an approved Ask to Buy request or a code redeemed outside the app, and it checks again after a purchase, a restore or a code redemption. The app adds nothing of its own to these requests: no account and no identifier.

To decide whether you have Premium, the app accepts only purchase information that Apple has signed and whose signature is verified on your device. If Apple refunds or revokes a purchase, the app no longer grants Premium on the basis of it. If the check temporarily returns nothing, the last confirmed purchase kept on the device (section 3.3) keeps Premium for up to 14 days, never past a subscription's end. The app has no server and sends nothing about your purchases to us; the only thing it keeps is that purchase entry in the free-version record.

3.6 Promotional screens

In the free version, the app shows its own promotional screens for MeaUnda Premium, marked "Ad". They are made by us and built into the app: there is no ad network, no advertising SDK, no advertising identifier, no counting of views or taps and no network request. The only thing the app records is when the last promotional screen was shown, in the free-version record (section 3.3), so that the screens are not shown too often. Premium users never see them, and they are never shown before the SOS beacon or the standalone Speaker Test.

If you choose Settings → About → Report a problem with an ad, your mail app opens a draft message to app@meaovis.com. Nothing is sent unless you send it; if you do, we receive your e-mail address and your message and handle them as described in section 5.4.

4. This website

The website at MeaUnda.MeaOvis.com presents the MeaUnda app and, while it runs, its early-access offer. It has no user accounts, no comment section and no advertising. It processes personal data when you sign up for the early-access list (section 5), in the technical log files of the hosting server (section 7), and when your browser loads the site's style framework from a content delivery network (section 6).

5. Early-access list and the MeaUnda Premium offer

5.1 What we process and why

Giving us this data is entirely voluntary. It is not required in order to use the app, and there is no consequence of not providing it other than that we cannot notify you at launch or send you an offer code. The code is redeemed through Apple, under Apple's terms (section 15); Apple does not give us your name or your Apple Account details.

5.2 We do not send any other marketing

We do not use the list for general marketing, we do not send a periodic newsletter, and we never disclose, sell, rent or otherwise pass the addresses to a third party for their own purposes.

5.3 Withdrawing your consent

You may withdraw your consent at any time, with no explanation and at no cost: use the unsubscribe link in any message we send, or simply write to privacy@meaovis.com. When you withdraw, we delete your address from the list without undue delay; if you withdraw before the offer codes are sent, you will not receive one. A code already sent to you stays valid, and we keep the record of which code was sent to your address only for the period stated in section 10. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

5.4 When you write to us

When you write to app@meaovis.com or privacy@meaovis.com (for example to report a problem with a promotional screen, section 3.6), we process your e-mail address, your name if you give it, and your message, to answer you and to keep a record of how the matter was handled. Handling complaints about defects (General Terms and Conditions, Article 12) and requests under section 11 is our legal obligation, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR; answering other messages is our legitimate interest in communicating with the people who use our app and website, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Retention: section 10.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to. We set exactly one cookie, and only if you actively choose a language:

You can delete this cookie in your browser at any time; the site will simply open in English again. The website loads the Tailwind CSS framework from a public content delivery network (cdn.tailwindcss.com); that request transmits only the technical data any HTTP request contains (your IP address, browser and the requested file) and sets no cookie.

7. Server log files

Like every web server, the server hosting this site records each request in a log file. The records contain the IP address of the requesting device, the date and time, the requested URL, the HTTP status code, the amount of data transferred, the referring page and the browser identification (user agent).

• Purpose: operating the site reliably, detecting and investigating attacks, abuse and technical faults.
• Legal basis: our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of our website, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
• Retention: a maximum of 30 days at our hosting provider, unless a specific record has to be kept longer to investigate a security incident.

We do not merge log data with the early-access list and we do not use it to identify individual visitors.

8. Recipients and processors

We keep the circle of recipients as small as we can. Personal data connected with this website, the early-access offer and our correspondence may be processed by:

• our web hosting provider, which operates the server on which the site and the subscriber list are stored;
• our e-mail delivery provider, which technically dispatches the launch announcement and the e-mails with offer codes;
• our e-mail hosting provider, which operates the mailboxes app@meaovis.com and privacy@meaovis.com;
• public authorities, where we are obliged by law to disclose data.

Each of these providers acts as our processor under a data processing agreement concluded pursuant to Article 28 GDPR, may process the data only on our instructions and for our purposes, and may not use it for its own purposes. We will name the current providers on request. We do not sell personal data and we do not use it for advertising.

Apple is not our processor: it handles purchases, subscriptions and the redemption of offer codes as an independent controller (section 15).

9. Transfers outside the EEA

We aim to keep all data within the European Economic Area. Where a provider (for example a content delivery network) processes data outside the EEA, that transfer takes place on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission or of the Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses under Article 46(2)(c) GDPR, together with any additional safeguards required. You may ask us for a copy of the relevant safeguards.

10. How long we keep data

11. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights in relation to the data we process about you:

• Access (Art. 15): to be told whether we process data about you, and to receive a copy of it.
• Rectification (Art. 16): to have inaccurate data corrected and incomplete data completed.
• Erasure (Art. 17): to have your data deleted, for example after you withdraw your consent.
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18): to have processing paused while a dispute about accuracy or lawfulness is resolved.
• Data portability (Art. 20): to receive the data you gave us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have it sent to another controller.
• Objection (Art. 21): to object to processing based on our legitimate interest.
• Withdrawal of consent (Art. 7(3)): at any time, without giving a reason, with effect for the future.
• Not to be subject to automated decision-making (Art. 22): we carry out none, so this right is not engaged.

To exercise any of these rights, write to privacy@meaovis.com from the address concerned, or to our postal address. We reply within one month of receiving the request; in complex cases we may extend this by a further two months and will tell you if we do. Handling your request is free of charge, unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. We may ask you for information reasonably needed to confirm your identity, so that we do not disclose data to the wrong person.

12. Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe we process your personal data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Slovakia this is:

You may also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of the EU member state where you live or work, and you have the right to an effective judicial remedy. We would nonetheless be glad if you contacted us first; most matters are resolved faster that way.

13. Security of processing

We apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, in particular: encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS) for the whole website; storage of the subscriber list outside the publicly accessible part of the web server; a strict minimum of people with access to it; hashing instead of plain storage of IP addresses; no storage of data we do not need; and rate limiting and bot protection on the sign-up form. No system is absolutely secure, but the amount of data we hold is deliberately kept so small that a breach could not reveal much about you.

14. Children

This website is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has given us their e-mail address, write to us and we will delete it without delay.

15. Apple and the App Store

MeaUnda is distributed through Apple's App Store. When you download the app, create or use an Apple Account, buy or restore MeaUnda Premium, start or cancel a free trial or a subscription, ask for a refund or redeem an offer code, and when the app loads prices (each time it starts) and checks your purchases (each time it starts or returns to the foreground; section 3.5), Apple processes the data involved as an independent controller under its own privacy policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/); we take no part in that processing. Apple does not give us your name, e-mail address, payment details or Apple Account details.

Apple provides us with reports in App Store Connect. They contain statistics on sales, subscriptions and downloads and, if you have allowed your device to share analytics with app developers, usage statistics and crash reports. Subscription reports use a random subscriber number created by Apple, from which we cannot tell who you are. We use these reports only to understand how the app is doing and to fix faults, and we do not try to identify individual users from them. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in maintaining and improving the app, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Requests about your purchases, subscriptions or Apple Account data should be sent to Apple.

16. Changes to this notice

We may need to update this notice, for example when the app's features, MeaUnda Premium or the early-access offer change, or when a provider changes. The current version is always available at this address, with the effective date shown at the top. If a change materially affects you, we will inform you before the change takes effect: by e-mail if we hold your address, and otherwise by a notice on this website or in an update of the app. We will never broaden the purpose of processing data you gave us on the basis of consent without asking you for new consent.

17. Contact

Questions about this notice, or about anything else concerning your data, go to privacy@meaovis.com. A human being reads that mailbox and will answer you.
