Privacy policy
Last updated: 25 September 2026
This policy applies to the “Dinori” app for Android (Google Play, package name com.snailpacegames.dinori) and to this website. The version for iPhone and iPad will follow later. The information on iOS and iPadOS applies from the time the app is published in the App Store.
The key points in brief
- Dinori does not collect any personal data. There are no accounts, no ads and no analytics or tracking services.
- Game progress, profiles and learning progress are stored only on the device. None of it reaches us.
- The only outside connection is the purchase of the full version. This is handled by the store (Google Play, later also the App Store), not by us.
- This website sets no cookies and loads no content from third-party servers.
1. Controller

Further details can be found in the Legal notice (Impressum). We have not appointed a data protection officer, as we are not required to do so.
2. What the app stores on the device
The app stores game progress exclusively in the app’s protected storage area on the device:
| Data | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Profiles: an avatar from a fixed selection, an age level chosen by parents and an optional name or nickname | Several children can play on the same device | device only |
| Game progress: stars, excavated dinosaurs, park, finds, levels reached in the mini-games | Carrying on where the child left off | device only |
| Learning history per profile: results in the learning games (for example, which number tasks were solved) | Adapting the difficulty to the child; display for parents in the parents’ area | device only |
| Settings: language, voice, music and sound effects, play-time reminder | Operation of the app | device only |
| Purchase status: “Full version unlocked: yes/no” | Being able to play offline | device only, encrypted |
This data is not transmitted to us or to third parties. We have no access to it. Deleting a profile deletes its data; uninstalling the app deletes all data. The game progress can be reset at any time in the parents’ area. A profile name is optional. A nickname, or no name at all, is enough.
Device backups: On Android, automatic app backup is switched off for Dinori. On iOS and iPadOS, the operating system may include app data in an iCloud or computer backup if you have enabled this on the device. This is controlled by the device, not the app. Apple’s privacy information applies to iCloud.
3. Purchase of the full version
Dinori is free and includes a demo. The full version is unlocked through a one-off in-app purchase. The purchase is handled by the respective store:
- Android: Google Play Billing. Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for processing the purchase. Google’s privacy policy applies.
- iOS/iPadOS (once available): In-app purchase via the App Store. Apple (Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Republic of Ireland) is responsible for processing the purchase. Apple’s privacy policy applies.
In doing so, the store processes the data needed for the purchase, such as account, payment method and receipt. We receive no payment details and no name. The app only learns from the store whether the full version has been purchased for the account in use. The app requests this status from the store when it starts and via “Restore purchase” in the parents’ area.
The legal basis for this request is the performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): without it, the purchased full version cannot be unlocked. The store’s sales reports show us how often Dinori has been bought, but not who bought it.
4. Voice output
Dinori is fully voiced: Pip’s lines are included in the app as audio recordings. If a recording is missing for a language or voice, for example while the English voice-over is still being recorded, the app uses the operating system’s speech output (text-to-speech). In that case, the app only passes on the fixed, prewritten line from the game, never input or data from the child. On iOS, speech output takes place on the device. On Android, this depends on the text-to-speech engine set on the device. The usual engine works with voices installed on the device.
5. What the app does not do
- No user accounts, no registration, no sign-in.
- No advertising, no advertising SDKs, no advertising ID.
- No analytics, statistics, crash reporting or tracking services, neither our own nor third-party ones.
- No sharing of data with third parties, apart from purchase processing by the store (section 3).
- No access to location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos.
- No connection to social networks, no chat, no messaging.
- No links in the children’s area. Links to this website and to the store are only in the parents’ area, behind the parental gate.
The app works fully offline. The internet is only needed to purchase and restore the full version.
6. Children
Dinori is aimed at children aged 3 to 8. On Android, the app takes part in Google Play’s “Designed for Families” programme. We do not knowingly collect, store or transmit personal data from children, either within the meaning of the US COPPA (children under 13) or within the meaning of Art. 8 GDPR.
The purchase of the full version, all settings and all links can only be reached after solving a sum written out in words that is unsuitable for young children (parental gate). In addition, the store requires confirmation from the account holder when a purchase is made.
If you believe that we nevertheless hold data about a child, please write to us at support@dinori.de. We will delete such data immediately.
7. Permissions
The app does not request any permissions that you would need to confirm. It only uses:
| Permission / function | Purpose |
|---|---|
Purchase via the store (Android: com.android.vending.BILLING, iOS: StoreKit) | Purchasing and restoring the full version |
| Internet access (no prompt) | Only for communicating with the store |
| Keep screen on (no prompt) | The screen does not switch off during play |
8. This website
Hosting and server log files
This website is hosted by Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4–6, 32339 Espelkamp, Germany. When a page is accessed, the server stores technically necessary data in log files: IP address, date and time, page accessed, amount of data transferred, browser and operating system, and the previously visited page. This serves the secure and stable operation of the website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The log files are deleted after 60 days. A data processing agreement is in place with the provider.
No cookies, no third parties
This website sets no cookies, uses no analytics or tracking services and embeds no content from third-party servers. Fonts, images and scripts are stored on our own server. The links to Google Play and the App Store only take you to these providers’ pages when you click them.
Contact by email
If you write to us, we process your email address and your message in order to answer your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). We delete the message once the matter has been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations apply. Please do not send us any data about your children.
9. Your rights
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR). We hold no data from the app about you or your child. All game data is on your device and under your control. For data processed by Google or Apple in connection with a purchase, please contact the respective store.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the Saxon Data Protection and Transparency Commissioner (Sächsische Datenschutz- und Transparenzbeauftragte), Maternistraße 17, 01067 Dresden, Germany.
10. Changes to this policy
If the app or this website changes in a way that means this policy no longer applies, we will update it and publish the new version here and in the app. We will not introduce any data processing beyond what is described here without updating this policy.
