Nothing is collected
No account. No advertising. No analytics. No network calls at all.
Takt asks you for nothing and sends nothing anywhere. There is no sign-in, no profile, no leaderboard hosted by us, no advertising network, no analytics or crash-reporting library, and no newsletter. The game holds no permission that would let it reach the internet, so even if some part of it wanted to transmit something, the operating system would refuse.
Everything the game knows about you — your calibration offset, your best scores, which charts you have cleared, your settings — is written in the app's own private storage area on your handset and stays there. We, the publisher, never see any of it. It is not a promise about what we choose to do with your data; there is no copy of your data in our hands to choose about.
The rest of this page sets out that position in the detail the General Data Protection Regulation requires, and tells you exactly what to do if you think any part of it is wrong.
The controller
Under Article 4(7) GDPR the controller is the party that decides why and how personal data is processed. For Takt that party is the publisher named below. Because this page describes no collection of personal data, the controller's role here is mainly to stand behind that statement and to answer for it if it is ever wrong.
com.pulslinje.taktNo data protection officer has been appointed. Article 37 GDPR requires one only where processing is large-scale, systematic or involves special categories of data, and none of those describe a game that processes nothing. Mail to the address above reaches the person who is answerable, not a queue.
What Takt stores on your handset
Local only. Never transmitted. Deleted with the app.
A rhythm game has to remember a few things or it would be unplayable. Here is the complete list, with what each one is for:
- Calibration offset. A single number in milliseconds, produced by the calibration screen, describing how far ahead or behind your particular handset's audio and display sit. Without it the hit line would lie to you. It is a property of your device, not of you.
- Best scores and accuracy percentages per chart. So that the chart list can show you what you have already managed.
- Which charts you have cleared, and at which difficulty. So progress is not lost when you close the game.
- Settings. Volume, visual intensity, lane layout, whether hold notes vibrate, whether reduced-motion is on.
- Practice-mode state. The last section you were drilling and the speed you set it to.
That is the whole list. There is no identifier for you in it — no name, no email, no advertising ID, no device fingerprint, no installation UUID that we could use to recognise a handset. Nothing in the list is sent off the device, and nothing in it is readable by other apps, because Android keeps each app's private storage area to itself.
Deleting Takt removes that storage with it. If you only want to reset your progress and keep the app, use the clearing control in settings, or clear the app's data from Android's own application settings; either leaves the game as it was on first launch.
Why no lawful basis is cited
You may be used to privacy policies that cite consent or legitimate interests for each item they collect. Takt cites none, and the reason is worth stating plainly rather than leaving as a gap.
The GDPR applies to the processing of personal data by a controller. Data that never leaves a device the user controls, is never accessible to the publisher, and contains no identifier is not personal data in our hands — it is the same category as a preference file written by an offline calculator. There is nothing for us to have a lawful basis for, which is why Article 6 does not appear in a list below. If that position ever changes — if a build gains advertising, an account, analytics or a purchase flow — this page must change in the same release, and a basis must be named for every new item. That is written out at the end of the file for whoever edits it next.
Similarly, no cookie or similar-technology consent appears. Takt has no web view, no tracking pixel, no SDK that sets an identifier, and no traffic, so there is nothing to consent to under the ePrivacy rules as they are implemented in Norwegian and Danish law.
What the app asks Android for
Requested
Vibration, for the haptic tick on hold notes, and only if you leave that switch on. Vibration is granted automatically by Android and gives the app no access to anything about you.
Not requested
No internet, no microphone, no camera, no location, no contacts, no storage outside the app's own area, no phone state, no notifications. The absence of the internet permission is what makes the rest of this page verifiable rather than merely asserted.
If you ever see Takt ask for a permission not named here, do not grant it — mail beat@woodnorway.rest and tell us which build you have, because either this page is out of date or the package you are holding is not ours.
Google Play is not covered by this page
Takt is distributed through Google Play, and the store is a separate actor with its own processing. When you install, update or rate the app, Google records that against your Google account under its own privacy policy, and we have no part in deciding what it keeps. Our Play Console shows us only aggregate figures — install counts, country totals, crash clusters, ratings — produced by Google, never individual users or individual devices.
We cannot see your Google account, your email address, your payment details or your device list. If you want to know or change what Google holds about your installs and ratings, that is between you and Google; the controls are in your Google account, not in Takt.
The rating and review you may leave on the store listing is public by Google's design. Anything you write there is visible to anyone who opens the listing, so treat it as a public statement and keep personal details out of it.
Nobody receives anything
No processors. No third parties. No transfers out of the EEA.
There are no processors engaged for Takt, because there is no processing to delegate: no hosting of user data, no analytics provider, no crash service, no advertising partner, no email platform, no payment processor. No category of recipient can be listed under Article 13(1)(e) because the list is empty.
For the same reason no international transfer takes place and no transfer mechanism — adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, derogation — needs to be named. Your scores do not cross a border because they do not cross the edge of your handset.
The one exception, stated so it is not mistaken for a gap: the Google Play distribution described in Bar 06 involves Google's own infrastructure, on Google's own legal footing with you, before and independent of anything the app does.
How long, and who for
Retention. Local data lasts exactly as long as you let it. There is no server-side period to state, no backup rotation, no archive. Uninstalling, or clearing app data, ends it immediately and completely; we hold no copy that could survive the deletion.
Children. Takt is a music game suitable for a general audience and is rated accordingly on the store. It contains no advertising, no purchases, no chat, no user-generated content and no social features, so a child playing it is exposed to none of the usual risks. Because nothing is collected from anyone, no parental consent mechanism under Article 8 GDPR is needed — there is no consent to gather. Age in Norway for information-society consent is 13 and in Denmark 13; both are noted here only because a later build with advertising would make the question real.
The rights you hold, and the honest answer to each
Articles 15 to 22 GDPR give you access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, plus the right to withdraw consent and not to be subject to solely automated decisions. You hold all of them. For Takt, most are satisfied on your own device, and we would rather say so than imply a process that does not exist:
Exercising any of these costs nothing, needs no form, and never requires you to identify yourself to us — if we hold nothing about you, we have no business asking for an ID document to prove who you are.
Where to complain, and why two authorities are named
The publisher's legal form, Aps, is a Danish private limited company, while the registered address given for it is in Norway, at an agent's premises in Son. Rather than pick one and hope, this page names both supervisory authorities, and you may use either. Article 77 GDPR also lets you complain to the authority in the EU or EEA state where you live or work, whichever that is, and that right is not narrowed by anything on this page.
Denmark
GDPR as supplemented by databeskyttelsesloven. Supervisory authority: Datatilsynet, Carl Jacobsens Vej 35, 2500 Valby — datatilsynet.dk.
Norway
GDPR as incorporated by personopplysningsloven. Supervisory authority: Datatilsynet, Postboks 458 Sentrum, 0105 Oslo — datatilsynet.no.
We would rather hear from you first, because most questions about this page are answered in a day and a regulator's are not. But nothing requires you to write to us before writing to them, and no reply of ours affects your right to go there.
Writing to us, and how this page changes
Mail beat@woodnorway.rest about anything on this page — a right you want to exercise, a sentence you think is false, a permission prompt that does not match Bar 05. Write in English, Norwegian or Danish; English is answered fastest.

If this policy changes, the version line under the heading changes with it, and a material change — anything that adds a category of data, a recipient, a transfer or a purpose — will be shipped in the same release as the behaviour it describes, never after it. Checking the version line is enough to tell whether the page you are reading is the one that governs the build on your handset. Earlier versions are kept and can be sent to you on request.
