Privacy Policy

3360 Herzogenbuchsee
Switzerland

Email: contact@schuno.app
Phone: +41 62 530 43 60
UID: CHE-230.607.455

If you have questions about data protection, you can write to this address directly at any time.

2. Scope

This policy applies to the mobile app "Schuno" (bundle ID ch.hivenet.schuno) and to this website. It is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP); where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, its requirements apply in addition.

3. Principle: the app collects no data

Schuno is built as a purely offline application. The app contains no interfaces to servers, no analytics tools and no advertising networks. As a result, no personal data is collected, transmitted or evaluated by us.

Schuno is accordingly declared as "Data Not Collected" in the App Store. In concrete terms this means:

• We learn nothing about whether, when or how you use the app.
• There is no user account and no sign-up; we know neither your name nor your email address.
• No identifiers are used for advertising purposes and no usage profile is built.
• No data is passed on or sold to third parties.

4. Data you enter in the app yourself

In Schuno you record information about your school situation. This data remains entirely on your device and is stored and processed there only:

• Periods: name, start and end date, status
• Subjects: name, weighting, marking as a core subject
• Grades: grade value, factor, exam date and an optional note
• Files that you attach to a grade yourself
• Your chosen display language and a randomly generated, device-internal identifier used to name the local data file

Storage takes place in the app's protected data folder, which only Schuno itself can read. We have no access to this data. Since no transmission takes place, there are also no processors who would handle these contents on our behalf.

Please note: a backup of your device that you create yourself (via iCloud or a computer backup, for example) may include the app's data. That process is between you and your device provider, not us.

5. Attachments to grades

When you attach a file to a grade, Schuno places a copy of that file in its own data folder so that it stays available later on. These copies do not leave your device either. When you delete an attachment or the app, they are removed along with it.

6. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking

Schuno contains no analytics or statistics services, no crash reporting, no advertising networks and no libraries for recognising users. No cookies or comparable technologies are used in the app.

7. Permissions

The app requests no system permissions. It does not access the camera, photos, microphone, location, contacts, calendar or health data. To attach a file, you open your operating system's file picker and deliberately release one single file; Schuno receives no access to your file system beyond that.

8. Getting in touch

In the app settings you can tap "Contact". This opens your email app with our support address as the recipient — the app itself sends nothing and transmits nothing in the background. Only once you send the message do we receive the information you have written, along with your sender address.

We process such enquiries solely in order to answer your request (legal basis: legitimate interest in customer support and pre-contractual communication) and delete them as soon as they have been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations stand in the way. Our support address is contact@schuno.app.

9. Obtaining the app via the App Store and Google Play

The download and installation of the app are handled by Apple and Google respectively. In doing so, these providers process data such as your store identifier, the download date, your device model and aggregated usage figures under their own responsibility. We have no influence over this.

From the store operators we receive only anonymised, aggregated reports — the number of downloads per country, for example — which allow no conclusions about individual people. Data processing in the store is governed by the privacy terms of Apple and Google respectively.

10. Children and young people

Schuno is aimed at students and apprentices and is rated 4+. Because the app collects no data, keeps no accounts, shows no advertising and contains no social features or communication channels, there are no particular data protection risks for younger users. We deliberately collect no information whatsoever about children — not even their age.

11. This website

This website is a static information page about the app. It sets no cookies, embeds no analytics or advertising services and uses no fonts or scripts from external providers. There is no contact form and no newsletter; contact only comes about if you write an email yourself.

When the page is requested, the usual server access data is processed out of technical necessity, in particular a shortened IP address, the time of the request, the address requested, the volume of data transferred and details of the browser and operating system. This data serves solely to run the site securely and to fend off attacks, and it is not combined with other data.

The site is operated through a hosting provider that handles delivery on the technical side and acts as a processor in doing so. Processing abroad is possible; where it occurs, it takes place on the basis of appropriate safeguards.

12. Retention and deletion

Since we receive no app data, we retain none either. You alone decide how long the data in the app lives:

• You delete individual grades, subjects and periods directly in the app.
• You remove attachments at the grade they belong to.
• When you uninstall the app, all locally stored data is removed along with the attachments.

We delete email enquiries to our support once they have been dealt with. Server access data for this website is deleted automatically after a short time.

13. Your rights

Under Swiss data protection law and, where applicable, under the GDPR, you have the right to information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority; in Switzerland this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

In practice you need no access request for the data in the app: all contents are fully visible, editable and deletable within the app, because they are held on your device only. For matters concerning our email correspondence, please contact the address given above.

14. Data security

The app's data is held in the protected, app-specific storage area of your operating system and is thereby shielded from access by other apps. Beyond that, the most effective protection is the device lock and device encryption of your phone. This website is delivered exclusively over encrypted HTTPS.

15. Changes to this policy

We adapt this policy when the app, the website or the legal situation change. The version published here is the one that applies; the date at the top of the page shows how current it is.
