Introduction

Brikr (“ Brikr,” “ we,” “ us,” or “ our”) is a mobile application for LEGO® enthusiasts to research sets, manage a personal collection and wishlist, play optional games, read news-style content, and use related features. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you use Brikr on Apple devices.

Information we collect

Information you provide

  • Account & profile (if any): Information you choose to provide when using features that require it (for example, a display name or username for leaderboards or social-style features, if offered).

  • Support requests: If you email us, we receive the contents of your message and your contact information.

Information collected automatically

  • Device & app diagnostics: Such as app version, device type, operating system version, and coarse technical logs needed to operate and secure the service.

  • Usage & analytics: We may use analytics tools to understand how features are used (for example, screens viewed and interactions), to improve performance and product design.

  • Identifiers: Such as a pseudonymous app instance or user identifier used with our backend services, and Apple’s identifiers related to purchases and notifications where applicable.

Information from your device (with permission)

  • Camera: Used when you choose to scan barcodes or capture images for identification or similar features. Images may be processed on your device and/or sent to our service providers to return results, depending on the feature.

  • Photo library: Used when you choose to import photos (for example, for collection or identification). We only access photos you explicitly select where the system requires it.

  • Location: If you grant permission, we may use location to support features such as finding nearby stores or optional collection metadata. You can disable location in iOS Settings.

  • Notifications: If you opt in, we may use push notifications to send updates you request or that are core to the app’s operation. You can turn these off in iOS Settings.

Purchases

  • Subscriptions (Brikr Pro): Purchase and renewal status are processed by Apple. We do not receive your full payment card details. We may receive subscription status and related identifiers from Apple to unlock features.

Advertising (if shown)

  • If the app displays third-party ads for users who are not subscribers, ad partners may collect or receive identifiers and usage data as described in their policies, subject to Apple’s privacy controls and your choices (including App Tracking Transparency where applicable).

Cloud sync & backup

  • If you use iCloud or similar Apple sync for your data, storage and security are governed by Apple’s terms and privacy policy. We do not control Apple’s systems.

Backend & online features

  • When you use features that load catalog data, news, leaderboards, or other online content, our servers or service providers (for example, a database or API host) process requests necessary to deliver those features.

How we use information

We use information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve Brikr’s features

  • Process subscriptions and restore purchases

  • Operate games, leaderboards, and competitive features you choose to use

  • Send push notifications you have allowed

  • Measure product usage and diagnose crashes or performance issues

  • Detect abuse, fraud, and security issues

  • Comply with law and enforce our terms

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share data with service providers as described below.

How we share information

We may share information with:

  • Apple Inc. — App Store, subscriptions, Sign in with Apple (if used), iCloud/sync, push notification infrastructure, and device-level privacy controls.

  • Hosting / backend providers — To store and process data needed for catalog lookups, accounts (if any), leaderboards, and similar features.

  • Analytics providers — To understand usage and reliability (for example, Google Firebase or similar, if enabled in your build).

  • Advertising partners — If ads are enabled for non-subscribers, subject to Apple’s frameworks and your settings.

  • Professional advisors — Lawyers, accountants, or auditors where required.

  • Authorities — When required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

We require service providers to use information only as instructed and to implement appropriate safeguards where applicable.

Legal bases (if GDPR/UK GDPR applies)

Where required, we rely on one or more of: contract (providing the app), legitimate interests (security, analytics, improvement), consent (optional permissions and certain tracking), and legal obligation.

Retention

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Technical logs may be kept for a limited period. You may request deletion as described below, subject to legal exceptions.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Your choices and rights

  • iOS permissions: Camera, Photos, Location, Notifications, and Tracking can be managed in Settings → Brikr (and system privacy settings).

  • Subscriptions: Manage or cancel in your Apple ID subscription settings.

  • Access / deletion / portability: Contact us using our Contact Form with your request. We may need to verify your identity.

  • EEA/UK/CA residents: You may have additional rights under local law (e.g., objection, restriction, complaint to a supervisory authority).

Children

Brikr is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

International transfers

If you are outside the country where our servers or providers are located, your information may be transferred and processed there. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).

Third-party links & content

The app may link to third-party websites (for example, retailers or news). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy, except where law requires additional notice or consent.
