Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13th March, 2026
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
a. Authentication Information
When you sign in using Google or Apple, we receive:
- Your email address
- A unique user identifier provided by the authentication service
We offer the choice to create an account with a password. In which case, the authentication service encrypts and securely stores your password information.
b. User-Generated Data
We store data related to your use of the App, including:
- City layouts and buildings
- Earned rewards
- App activity related to progress tracking
This data is linked to your authenticated account.
c. Technical Data
We may collect limited technical data necessary for operation and security, such as:
- Device identifiers
- App version
- Crash or error logs
2. App Permissions
Scapedia may request certain device permissions in order to enable specific features within the application.
Camera Permission
Scapedia may request access to your device camera in order to scan QR codes used for account linking with supported services.
This feature allows users to connect their Scapedia account with external services by scanning a QR code generated by those services. For example, QR codes may be generated by:
- a Scapedia companion add-on used with AnkiWeb, or
- the Linguapon website for linking a user profile.
The camera is only accessed when the user chooses to start the QR scanning process within the app. Scapedia does not record, store, or transmit images captured by the camera beyond what is necessary to read the QR code.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use your data to:
- Authenticate users
- Save and sync progress
- Improve app stability and features
- Respond to support or account deletion requests
We do not sell your personal data.
5. Data Storage and Processing
User authentication data is managed using Firebase.
User-generated app data is stored securely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
Data may be processed or stored in regions outside your country, depending on service providers.
6. Third-Party Services
Scapedia relies on third-party services for authentication and infrastructure, and optional integrations.
Scapedia may also allow users to connect their account with certain external learning services in order to enable features such as importing or syncing study progress. For example, users may link their account with services such as AnkiWeb or Linguapon through a QR-code-based linking process initiated by the user. These connections are optional and subject to the respective terms and privacy policies of those services.
These services operate under their own privacy policies:
Scapedia is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.
7. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account remains active.
If you request account deletion, we will make reasonable efforts to delete associated personal data, unless retention is required by law.
8. Account Deletion Requests
At this time, account deletion must be requested manually.
If you request account deletion, we will make reasonable efforts to delete associated personal data, unless retention is required by law.
