Data Architecture & Governance
At Digital Vera, privacy isn't just a legal checkbox. It is a technical constraint that informs our entire development lifecycle in Berlin. From local play to global server sync, we prioritize your digital sovereignty.
01 Information we ingest
When you interact with our gaming applications or visit our domain, Digital Vera collects data necessary for functionality. We distinguish between Contact Data (email and billing info for premium tiers) and System Data (device model, OS version, and latency metrics). For our German indoor testing labs, we specifically look at how different Android builds handle thermal throttling under 5G loads.
Under GDPR Article 6(1)(b), we process this data to fulfill our contract with you: providing a functional, lag-free gaming experience. We do not sell your telemetry for ad-targeting purposes; our revenue is driven by app performance and direct support, not brokering your identity.
ENCRYPTION LEVEL: AES-256-GCM. PATHWAY: CLIENT-TO-EDGE. NO PERSISTENT LOGGING ON INTERMEDIARY NODES.
Hard Choices & Trade-offs
Global Sync vs. Privacy
Cloud saves require account linking, which increases the data surface area of the app.
Anti-Cheat vs. Permissions
Competitive integrity often requires checking for APK modification or external hooks (root/jailbreak).
Performance vs. Logs
Detailed error logging helps us fix crashes but can inadvertently capture sensitive usage patterns.
Compliance Scrutiny
Where exactly is the data stored?
All primary user databases are hosted on ISO 27001 certified infrastructure in Frankfurt, Germany, ensuring data never leaves the EU jurisdiction.
Do you use kernel-level anti-cheat?
No. We believe kernel-level access creates too high a security risk for users; we utilize behavioral analysis and side-weighted server validation instead.
How long is activity data retained?
Technical logs are flushed every 30 days, while transaction records are kept for the statutory 10-year period required by German tax law.
What are the users' rights to deletion?
Users can trigger a "Right to be Forgotten" request via their dashboard, which initiates an irreversible purge of pII across all active clusters within 72 hours.
Are third-party SDKs audited?
Every SDK integrated into Digital Vera products undergoes a code audit to ensure it doesn't perform unauthorized background data harvesting.

The Web of Processing
We utilize a limited number of sub-processors to power our services. This includes payment gateways like Stripe or PayPal for licensing, and cloud providers like AWS or Hetzner for server hosting. Each partner is bound by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that mandates the same level of security we provide internally.
In cases of legal requests from German authorities (e.g., LKA or BKA), we only surrender data that is explicitly covered by a valid court order. Our transparency reports ensure that users are notified of such requests unless legally gagged.
Our engineers periodically perform manual "Permissions Audits" to ensure no new feature has inadvertently expanded its data collection profile. This "privacy by design" approach is fundamental to our German indie dev ethos.
