Privacy Policy
Version 2.2 — 22 August 2026
Translation provided for convenience. In the event of any discrepancy, the French version prevails.
1. Who are we?
The Taka mobile application ("the Application") is published by DUCLOTDEV, a French simplified joint-stock company with a sole shareholder (SASU) with share capital of EUR 100, whose registered office is at 1 Allée des Hêtres, 74600 Annecy, France, registered with the Annecy Trade and Companies Register under number 108 739 459, represented by its President Mr Aymeric Duclot — support@takafg.com, hereinafter "the Publisher".
The Publisher is the data controller within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and the French Data Protection Act.
2. The short version
Taka works with an account and a server: your matches, progression and friends are saved to your account so they follow you from one device to the next. In return, our commitments are clear:
- no advertising and no ad trackers; no third-party analytics SDK in the app;
- your data is never sold or rented to anyone;
- geolocation is approximate, strictly optional and never collected in the background;
- you can export your data and permanently delete your account, directly in the Application (Settings → Privacy).
3. Data processed and purposes
Tip: your nickname and username are visible to other players — prefer a nickname to your full name.
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account: e-mail address, nickname, username (@handle, optional), bio (optional), profile photo (optional), birth year (optional, age attestation only — never a full date of birth), language | Creating and managing your account, writing to you in your language (transactional e-mail) | Performance of the contract (Terms) |
| Sign-in with Apple or Google: technical identifier provided by Apple/Google and the associated e-mail address | Authenticating you without a password | Performance of the contract |
| Game: match history, scores, Calls, symbolic forfeits, progression, statistics, badges, leagues | Running the game, your rankings and your profile | Performance of the contract |
| Social: friends list, friend requests, blocked players, reactions, notification inbox | Social features, protection against abuse | Performance of the contract |
| Approximate location (rounded server-side to a grid of about 500 m), only while you enable "players around you" | Showing you nearby players and making you visible to them | Consent (withdrawable at any time) |
| Push notifications: device token managed by OneSignal, per-category preferences | Notifying you (invitations, friends' activity, weekly digest) | Consent (system permission, can be disabled) |

| Support: messages sent via the contact form or by e-mail | Answering your requests | Performance of the contract / legitimate interest |
| Feedback and user research: questionnaire responses, ratings, comments, beta-test feedback and, where applicable, a pseudonymous identifier | Improve TakaFG, understand the user experience, measure service quality and produce aggregated statistics | Legitimate interests; consent where required for optional participation or identifiable use of a testimonial |
4. Guest mode
Guest mode creates an anonymous technical account, with no e-mail address. It lets you play and record matches; some social features (including "players around you") require a full account. A guest account can be converted into a full account at any time.
5. What we do not do
The Application displays no advertising, sets no advertising trackers and embeds no third-party analytics or ad-network SDK. The only third-party service embedded in the Application is OneSignal, used exclusively to deliver push notifications. We never sell or rent your data. The Application processes no payment data.
6. Geolocation: approximate and optional
The "players around you" feature is off by default. When you enable it: your position is requested only while the Application is open (foreground), never in the background; the Application asks the system for the lowest accuracy available; and the server always rounds the received position to a grid of about 500 metres before storing anything — your exact position is never stored. You can stop being visible at any time, and the system permission can be revoked in your phone's settings.
7. Push notifications
Push notifications (match invitations, friends' activity, progression, weekly digest of your friends' activity) are delivered through OneSignal, acting as a processor. They require your system permission and can be tuned category by category in the Application, or disabled entirely in your phone's settings.
8. Processors and hosting
The Service's data is hosted with Amazon Web Services; the database is operated by Neon. We use the following processors:
| Provider | Role |
|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Hosting of the application server and storage of profile photos |
| Neon | Database |
| OneSignal | Push notification delivery |
| Resend | Transactional e-mail (sign-in codes, exports) |
| Vercel | Hosting of the takafg.com website |
9. Transfers outside the European Union
Some of these providers are US companies or may process data outside the European Union (in particular OneSignal for push notifications). These transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards within the meaning of the GDPR, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or an applicable adequacy decision. You can contact us for more information about these safeguards.
10. Retention periods
Your account data is kept for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion, the account enters a pending-deletion state for a grace period of about one month (27 days by default), during which you can cancel by signing back in; once the period ends, the account's data is deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
Some technical data is purged automatically on short cycles by our storage-limitation engine (for example, offline-sync data is kept from 24 hours to a few days, and sync traces for at most 90 days). Scorecards of matches played with other players are kept after account deletion in anonymised form ("deleted player"), because they are also those other players' history.
Matches recorded offline stay on your device until they are synced to your account.
Feedback and user research: individual questionnaire responses and research feedback are retained only for as long as necessary for their analysis and for improving the Service. They may then be deleted or anonymised. Aggregated results and statistics that no longer allow a person to be identified may be retained in order to monitor the evolution of the Service and document its performance.
11. Your rights
In accordance with the GDPR, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability.
Directly in the Application (Settings → Privacy): you can request a full export of your data (prepared and then sent to your e-mail address) and request the permanent deletion of your account. Your profile information can be edited at any time.
For any other request: support@takafg.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).
12. Security
Traffic between the Application and the server is encrypted (HTTPS). Profile photos are stored in a private, non-public space and served through time-limited signed links. Access to production data is restricted. Data on your device is protected by the isolation mechanisms of iOS and Android; the security of the device itself (passcode, biometrics) is the user's responsibility.
13. Minors
The Application is a game for all audiences. Use of the online features (account, social features, geolocation) is reserved for people aged 15 and over, or under 15 with joint consent of the holders of parental responsibility, in accordance with Article 45 of the French Data Protection Act. The birth year we may ask for serves only as an age attestation; we never collect a full date of birth.
14. Content sharing
Sharing features (match summaries, score cards) use your phone's share menu: you choose the recipient (WhatsApp, social networks…). Shared content is then governed by the terms of the receiving service.
15. Changes to this policy
Any substantial change will be notified in the Application before it takes effect, with the update date at the top of the document. This version (2.2, 22 August 2026) replaces version 2.1 of 20 August 2026. It adds information relating to questionnaires, beta-test feedback and user research activities, together with their use for improving the Service and producing aggregated statistics.
