Last updated: May 2026

1. Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws is:

2. This Website (notencheck.schnabel.it)

2.1 No cookies, no tracking

This website sets no cookies and uses no tracking of any kind. No analytics services such as Google Analytics, Matomo or similar tools are used. There are no social media trackers, no advertising pixels and no external tracking resources.

Because no cookies are set, no cookie banner is required.

2.2 No external resources

This website loads all resources (CSS, JavaScript, fonts) exclusively from its own server. No external CDNs, Google Fonts or other third-party services that could collect data about visitors are integrated.

2.3 Server log files

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits automatically. This includes:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address (anonymized)

This data is not combined with other data sources. Collection is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free provision of the website). The data is deleted after a maximum of 30 days.

Hosting provider: GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P Kelly Jr St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (GitHub Pages). Privacy policy: docs.github.com/site-policy/privacy-policies

3. Notencheck App

3.1 Principle: local storage

The Notencheck app stores all data exclusively locally on your device and optionally in your personal, private iCloud. No data is transmitted to the developer or any third party.

3.2 What data the app stores

The app stores only the data you enter yourself:

• Profile: Your name and optional profile picture
• School years: Names of school years
• Subjects: Subject name, color, icon, teacher name, weighting settings
• Grades: Grade values, date, category, notes
• Appointments: Exam dates, date, type, notes
• App settings: Grading system (1–6 or 0–15), display options
• Achievements: Unlocked achievements (locally)

3.3 iCloud synchronization

If you have iCloud enabled on your device, the app automatically synchronizes your data via Apple's CloudKit (private iCloud database). Apple's privacy policy applies:

• Data is stored in your personal, private iCloud database
• Only you have access — neither the developer nor Apple can view this data
• More information: Apple's Privacy Policy

You can disable iCloud sync at any time in iOS Settings under Apple ID → iCloud → Notencheck.

3.4 Push notifications

Exam reminders are scheduled as local notifications directly on your device. No server is contacted in this process. The app does not use remote push notifications.

You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings under Settings → Notifications → Notencheck.

3.5 Photos / Profile picture

If you upload a profile picture, the app accesses your photo library with your permission (restricted access via PhotosPicker). The selected image is stored exclusively locally and in your iCloud.

3.6 No account, no registration

The app requires no user account, no email address and no registration. No personal data is collected to use the app.

3.7 Advertising in the free version (Google AdMob)

The free version of Notencheck shows a small advertising banner at the bottom of the screen, provided by Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). We use exclusively non-personalized ads (NPA) — this setting is hardcoded in the app and cannot be changed. No user profiling or behavioral tracking for advertising purposes takes place.

To serve non-personalized ads, Google AdMob processes minimal technical data, such as device information and an approximate location based on the IP address. This processing is carried out by Google in accordance with their privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in financing the free app).

GDPR consent for EU and EEA users

On first launch in the EU or EEA, the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK automatically displays a consent form compliant with the IAB TCF. This dialog is legally required even when exclusively non-personalized ads are served — it does not enable personalized advertising. Consent is optional — if declined, non-personalized ads are still shown.

Consent can be withdrawn or updated at any time in the app under Settings → Privacy → Change Ad Preferences.

App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

iOS additionally displays Apple's system-wide ATT dialog. Notencheck does not use this permission for personalized advertising — declining has no effect on app functionality or the ads shown.

3.8 Notencheck Pro — ad-free

With the one-time in-app purchase Notencheck Pro (€0.99), all advertising is permanently and completely removed from the app. The Google AdMob SDK is then not initialized, and no advertising data is processed. The purchase is one-time, with no subscription, and is made through the Apple App Store (StoreKit 2). Apple's privacy policy applies to the purchase transaction itself.

3.9 App Store

The app is downloaded via the Apple App Store. Apple's privacy policy applies in this context. Apple collects data according to its own privacy policy.

4. Data deletion

You can delete all data stored in the app at any time yourself:

• Individual data: Within the app by deleting individual entries
• All app data: iOS Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Notencheck → Delete App
• iCloud data: Deleted automatically when you delete the app

5. Your rights

Since all data is stored exclusively locally on your device and in your personal iCloud, you have complete control over it at all times. You have the right to:

• Access your stored data (located on your device)
• Rectification of inaccurate data (directly in the app)
• Erasure of your data (directly in the app or by uninstalling)
• Restriction of processing
• Data portability
• Object to processing

6. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority for Lower Saxony (Germany) is:

7. Changes

This privacy policy is currently valid as of May 2026. Due to further development of the app or changed legal requirements, it may be necessary to update this privacy policy. You can access the current version at any time on this page.
