What Vsota writes on your device
Android gives every app a private storage area that other applications cannot read. Vsota uses it for five things:
- The digits currently in a board, so that leaving the app mid-puzzle and coming back resumes exactly where you were.
- Your pencil marks — the candidate digits noted into cells — saved alongside the committed digits of the same board.
- Which boards are finished, one flag per board, and the best time recorded for each, where a time was being kept at all.
- How many hints remain, since hints are rationed rather than unlimited.
- Your settings — interface language, whether the timer is running, and the display options the app offers.
None of this is personal data in any usual sense: there is no name attached to it, no identifier, and no way for us to reach it. It is copied into a device backup only if you have Android's own backup enabled, in which case Google stores it under Google's terms and we never see it either. Uninstalling the app removes the lot from the handset.
What it never does
There is no sign-in, so the app never asks for a name, an email address or a telephone number and has nowhere to put one. There is no advertising library in the build, so nothing reads the Advertising ID and no interest profile is assembled from how you play. There is no analytics and no crash reporting: no session is counted, no screen is logged, no stack trace leaves the device. The app asks for no access to location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos or files, and it plays perfectly well with the handset in flight mode.
Those are statements about the build that is published today. The last section on this page explains the order in which any of them would have to be withdrawn if that ever changed.
The app saves the board. It does not save the story of how you got there.
A cross-sums puzzle generates a surprising amount of incidental history. Every digit you tried and removed, every cell you second-guessed, how long you sat on the hard run in the corner, how many times you pressed check before trusting yourself — all of that exists while you are playing, and any of it could be written down.
It is not. What survives when you close a board is the state of the board: the digits standing, the pencil marks standing, and whether it is solved. Not the sequence that produced them. The undo stack lives in memory for as long as you are on that puzzle and is gone when you leave it, which means there is no file anywhere recording your wrong turns — not on our side, which has no file at all, and not on yours.
This is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight, and it is the one promise on this page that would be easiest to quietly break, because a solving history is exactly the sort of thing a developer is tempted to keep "for improving difficulty balance". If a future version of Vsota ever starts keeping it, this paragraph will say so in plain words before that version ships.
Who is responsible for it
The controller is AK Holding d.o.o., Ciril-Metodov trg 12, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia, and the person answerable for it is Andrej Kurent. Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation requires a controller to identify itself even where the processing is as thin as it is here, which is why the company is named in full rather than described.
That responsibility covers correspondence and nothing else. The app does not process personal data on our behalf, because the app's data never travels to us. Installing or updating Vsota from Google Play is a separate relationship between you and Google, who is its own controller for that, on its own terms, exactly as it would be for any app by any publisher.
If you email us
Write to klik@systempoint.rest and your address, your message and anything you attach arrive with us. We keep the thread while the matter is live and for a short period after it closes, in case it comes back, and then delete it. The lawful basis is Article 6(1)(f) — our legitimate interest in answering people who write to us about our own software — and you may ask for the thread to be deleted earlier than that.
A practical consequence of everything above: we cannot look anything up. There is no account, no device identifier and no stored play data on our side, so nothing in your email can be matched against anything you did in the app. If a board is misbehaving, describe it — tell us the level and what you entered — because we have no other way to see it.
Your rights, article by article
The Regulation applies in Slovenia alongside the national Zakon o varstvu osebnih podatkov (ZVOP-2). Measured against the correspondence described above — the only personal data we hold — the rights it grants come out as follows.
Article 15 entitles you to confirmation of whether we hold data about you and to see it; for us that means the messages filed under your address, with their dates. Article 16 entitles you to have inaccurate data corrected. Article 17 entitles you to erasure, which we carry out on the thread unless a complaint is still running, in which case we tell you so and when it will go. Article 18 entitles you to have processing restricted while something is in dispute. Article 20 entitles you to the data in a portable, machine-readable form. Article 21 entitles you to object to processing founded on legitimate interest — and since answering letters is the whole of the processing here, an objection simply ends it.
No fee is charged, no particular form of words is needed, and the deadline is one month from receipt. Send any of them to the address above.
What those articles cannot reach is your handset. The boards, the pencil marks, the times and the hint count are not in our possession and cannot be produced, corrected or erased by us; they are yours to clear with the app's own reset, or by removing the app. We would rather say that plainly than imply a power over your device that we do not have.
Article 77 gives you the right to complain to a supervisory authority. In Slovenia that is the Information Commissioner — Informacijski pooblaščenec — at ip-rs.si, and you are entitled to go there first, without raising anything with us at all. Residents of other EEA states may use their own national authority instead.
Children
Vsota has no chat, no user-generated content, no outbound links and no purchases. It collects no data from any user, which necessarily includes users under the age of sixteen, so there is no consent mechanism to operate and none is pretended. It is arithmetic and logic on a grid, and that is the whole of the exposure.
If this page is ever rewritten
The date under the title identifies the edition in force. Where a release would make any statement above untrue — something collected, something transmitted, a library added, a permission requested — this page is corrected first, the Data safety declaration in the Play Console is corrected in the same sitting, and only then does that release reach anybody. Rewriting an awkward sentence is not that kind of change and carries nothing with it but a later date.
Earlier editions are kept. If you want to compare what this page says today with what it said before, ask at the address below and the previous text will be sent to you.
