Privacy Policy – RouletteWheel

Last updated: 06 Dec 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Nysand Team (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Split Decision mobile application (the “App”).

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.

1. Who we are

Controller: Nysand Team
Contact email: splitdecisionapp@mail.com
For GDPR purposes, we are the data controller of the personal data processed through this App.

2. What the app does

RouletteWheel is an entertainment and utility app that helps you:

• Discover nearby venues (e.g., pubs, restaurants, etc.) using map and location services.
• Spin a roulette to randomly pick a place or option.
• Save favourite places and custom wheels.
• Tap “Get Directions” to open navigation in external map apps (e.g., Apple Maps, Google Maps).

We also show advertising via Google (AdSense/AdMob) and measure how the App is used to improve it.

3. Data we collect

We may collect and process the following categories of data:

3.1 Account data

• Email address (when you create an account or sign in).
• Display name / nickname (if you choose to add one).

Purpose: account creation, login, saving favourites and settings.
Legal basis: performance of contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

3.2 Location data

Approximate and/or precise location (depending on your device settings and permissions).

Used for:

• Showing nearby venues and relevant map results.
• Improving local recommendations (e.g., pubs, restaurants around you).

Legal basis:

• Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) when you grant location permission.
• You can withdraw consent anytime in device settings by disabling location.

3.3 Usage data & “Get Directions” events

We log certain in-app actions, including:

• Which filters/categories you use (e.g., pubs, restaurants).
• Which place/place ID is selected when you tap “Get Directions” (to know what locations were actually opened for navigation due to the App).
• Time and date of the interaction.

We do not store your full navigation history from external map apps; we only record that from our App you requested directions to a specific place.

Purpose:

• Understand which places are actually used.
• Improve recommendations and app features.
• Detect abuse or bugs.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to understand and improve our App.

3.4 Device & log data

• Device model, OS version, language, country/region.
• IP address (short-term, mainly for security and anti-abuse).
• App version, crash logs, and basic performance metrics.

Purpose: app security, debugging, performance.
Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

3.5 Advertising & identifiers

We use Google advertising services (e.g., Google AdMob/AdSense), which may process:

• Advertising identifiers (e.g. IDFA on iOS, if enabled).
• IP address, device info, approximate location.
• Interaction with ads (views, clicks).

Depending on your region and consent choices, ads may be:

• Personalised (based on your profile/interest data); or
• Non-personalised (contextual only).

Legal basis:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for personalised advertising in GDPR regions.
• Legitimate interest or contractual necessity for basic contextual ads and fraud prevention (depending on Google’s requirements & your consent choices).

You can manage ad personalisation via:

• The in-app consent dialog (if shown).
• Your device’s “Limit Ad Tracking” / “Allow Apps to Request to Track” settings.

4. Third-party services we use

We use the following providers as processors or independent controllers:

4.1 Firebase (Google)

We may use Firebase services such as:

• Firebase Authentication
• Cloud Firestore / Realtime Database
• Firebase Analytics
• Firebase Crashlytics

Provider: Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited.
Data may be transferred to the United States and other countries. Google uses Standard Contractual Clauses and other safeguards as described in their privacy documentation.

4.2 Google Maps / Google Places / Apple MapKit

We use map and location APIs to show nearby venues and details:

• Google Maps / Google Places APIs: provide place details (names, addresses, coordinates, ratings, etc.).
• Apple MapKit (if used): map rendering and route preview.

These services may collect:

• IP address
• Location data (where required)
• Usage data for the maps/places queries

They act as independent controllers for their own processing. Please refer to their respective privacy policies.

4.3 Google Ads (AdMob / AdSense)

We show ads through Google’s ad platforms.

These services may collect:

We use your data to:

• Provide and operate the App and its features.
• Show nearby places and enable navigation using “Get Directions”.
• Save favourites, custom wheels, and preferences.

6. Data sharing

We may share data with:

• Service providers (e.g. Firebase, Google Ads, analytics providers) who process data on our behalf under data protection agreements.
• Authorities or law enforcement if required by law or to protect our rights.
• Other third parties only with your consent or when necessary to provide specific features.

7. International data transfers

Some of our providers (e.g. Google/Firebase) may process data on servers located outside your country, including in the United States.

Where required by GDPR, we rely on:

You can contact us for more details.

8. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including:

• Crash logs and usage analytics: retained according to Firebase/Google default retention (typically 2–14 months, depending on settings).

We may keep anonymised or aggregated data longer, as it cannot be linked back to you.
