Last updated: September 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the Patsspace mobile application (“Patsspace”, the “App”) and explains how Patrick Starkmann, trading as Anpa Labs (“we”, “us”, or “our”), collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the App.

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

1. Who We Are

Patsspace is operated by:

Patrick Starkmann
Anpa Labs

Email: anpalabs@gmail.com
Website: https://anpalabs.com

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information.

a) Account and Sign-In Information

When you create, secure, or use an account, we may collect your email address, Firebase user ID, sign-in provider, basic profile information provided by Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple, display name, and friend code.

The App may initially use an anonymous Firebase account before you choose to sign in.

b) Focus, Garden, and App Data

To provide Patsspace features, we may store focus sessions and focus duration; timer settings and animation preferences; garden progress; plants, pots, decorations, Waterdrops, coins, rewards, friends, friend requests, and social focus data; notification and sound preferences; onboarding and tutorial progress; acquisition source selected during onboarding; and other information you choose to create or save in the App.

If you use app blocking on iOS, your selected apps, categories, or websites are stored locally on your device in order to apply focus blocking. This selection is not transmitted to us.

c) Subscription and Purchase Information

If you purchase Patsspace Pro or other premium features, we may receive limited purchase and subscription status information through RevenueCat and the relevant app store provider.

This may include a pseudonymous app user ID, product identifier, entitlement status, subscription expiry information, and basic transaction-related metadata needed to unlock, restore, and maintain premium access. We do not directly collect or store full payment card information.

d) Advertising and Consent Information

Patsspace may show optional rewarded advertisements through Google AdMob. For advertising delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and consent management, Google and its partners may process device information, operating system and app version, advertising identifiers, IP address, app interaction and advertising interaction data, consent selections, privacy preferences, and location information where available and permitted by applicable law.

The App uses Google’s User Messaging Platform to manage advertising consent where required.

On iOS, the App may use Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework to request permission before accessing the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) or using data for tracking across apps and websites owned by other companies. If you do not grant tracking permission, the App does not access the IDFA. Advertisements may still be shown without the device advertising identifier.

Rewarded advertisements are optional. You may choose to watch a rewarded advertisement to receive Waterdrops. The App does not require users to watch advertisements in order to use the core focus timer.

e) Technical, Diagnostic, and Security Information

We may automatically process device model, operating system, app version, language and region settings, approximate diagnostic and performance information, crash reports, error information, and app integrity and abuse-prevention signals, including Firebase App Check signals.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • provide, operate, and maintain Patsspace;
  • create and manage user accounts;
  • store focus sessions, garden progress, rewards, and preferences;
  • provide friend, leaderboard, and social focus features;
  • provide premium subscription features and restore eligible purchases;
  • display and measure optional rewarded advertisements;
  • manage advertising consent and privacy choices;
  • prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access;
  • diagnose crashes and improve reliability;
  • improve functionality and performance;
  • respond to support requests; and
  • comply with legal obligations.

5. Services and Third Parties

Patsspace uses third-party services that may process information in connection with the App, including:

  • Google Firebase, including Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase App Check;
  • Google Sign-In;
  • Sign in with Apple;
  • Google AdMob;
  • Google User Messaging Platform; and
  • RevenueCat for subscription, purchase, and premium-access management.

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies, data protection terms, and applicable law.

6. Analytics

Patsspace uses Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the App and to improve the product. Analytics events may include app screens viewed; focus sessions started, completed, or cancelled; social focus usage; garden unlocks; onboarding acquisition source; subscription interactions; and rewarded Waterdrop advertisements completed.

Analytics data is used in aggregated or pseudonymous form where possible.

7. Crash Reporting

Patsspace uses Firebase Crashlytics to identify crashes, errors, and technical problems. Crashlytics may process device model, operating system, app version, crash traces, technical identifiers, and diagnostic information. This data is used to improve the stability and security of the App.

8. Authentication

You may use Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple to secure your Patsspace account. Depending on your settings and permissions, we may receive your email address, account identifier, and basic profile information from these providers.

9. Advertising Rewards

Patsspace may allow you to voluntarily watch a rewarded advertisement in exchange for Waterdrops. The App grants the reward only after the advertising SDK confirms that the rewarded advertisement was completed. We do not sell or transfer Waterdrops between users. The number of rewarded advertisements available may be limited.

10. Storage and Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App and its features, maintain your account and focus, garden, purchase, and social functionality, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect the security and integrity of the App.

Some preferences and usage data may be stored locally on your device. Account-related data and synchronised progress may be stored using Firebase services. Purchase and entitlement information may also be retained by RevenueCat and the relevant app store provider in accordance with their applicable retention practices and legal obligations.

11. Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information for money.

However, where you consent to advertising technologies, Google and advertising partners may process or receive certain device and advertising data to deliver, measure, personalise where permitted, and prevent fraud in connection with advertisements. Depending on applicable law, this processing may be considered “sharing” or a “sale” of personal information.

We may also share information:

  • with service providers that help us operate the App;
  • with Firebase and Google services necessary to provide authentication, analytics, crash reporting, security, advertising, and consent management;
  • with RevenueCat and app store providers as necessary to provide purchases, subscriptions, and premium access;
  • when required by law or valid legal process;
  • to protect the rights, security, and integrity of the App, our users, or others; and
  • in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

12. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including countries where our service providers operate. Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international data transfers.

13. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • access your personal information;
  • correct inaccurate information;
  • request deletion of your information;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • request data portability;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
  • request information about how your data is used.

You may also update advertising privacy choices through the privacy options available in the App. To make a privacy request, contact: anpalabs@gmail.com

If you are located in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may also lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority in your country of residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

14. Account Deletion

If you have created or secured a Patsspace account, you may request deletion of your account and associated personal data through the App or by contacting us at anpalabs@gmail.com.

Some information may be retained where required by law or reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal compliance.

15. Children’s Privacy

Patsspace is not intended for children under 13, or under the minimum age required by applicable law in the relevant jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorisation. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

16. Security

We use reasonable technical, administrative, and organisational measures to protect information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date above.

Continued use of Patsspace after an update means that you acknowledge the revised Privacy Policy.
