Effective August 2026
Belong Germany runs on your device. The information you enter, your residence dates, penalties, test progress and everything else about your situation, stays on your iPhone. We do not collect it, we never receive it and we cannot see it. There is no account and no login.
Belong Germany is made by Belong Europe ApS, a company registered in Copenhagen, Denmark, CVR number 46649044. If you have a question about this policy you can reach us at hello@belongeurope.com.
Belong Germany works by letting you record your own situation, things like your residence history, any penalties, and your language and test progress. This information can be sensitive. It is stored only on your device. It is not sent to us, to any server we control or to any third party. When you delete the app, that information is removed with it.
Nothing personal. Belong Germany has no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third-party software development kits that gather data about you. We do not build a profile of you and we do not know who our users are.
The News tab currently makes no network requests at all. A partnership with The Local Germany is in the works, and until it is live the tab only announces what is coming: no feed is fetched, nothing about you leaves your device from that tab and no outside service learns anything from your use of it. Before any news source goes live in the app, this policy will be updated first to describe exactly what is fetched and from whom.
Belong Germany offers an optional yearly subscription at 34,99 EUR per year, with a 7-day free trial. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through your Apple Account. We never see or receive your payment details. Apple processes the transaction and shares only aggregate, non-identifying sales information with us. Apple's handling of your purchase is governed by Apple's own privacy policy.
If you have turned on Apple's optional sharing of analytics and crash data in your iOS settings, Apple may send developers diagnostic reports in a form that does not identify you. You can turn this off at any time in Settings, Privacy and Security, Analytics and Improvements. We use any such reports only to find and fix problems.
Because your information stays on your device and never reaches us, we do not act as a controller of it under the GDPR and we hold no copy to export or erase on your behalf. You stay in full control. You can change or clear your entries in the app, and deleting the app removes everything. If you believe we hold any personal data about you and you want to exercise a right of access, correction or erasure, contact us at the address above and we will respond. If you are in Germany, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your competent data protection authority.
Belong Germany is not directed at children. It is intended for adults navigating naturalisation.
If this policy changes we will update this page and the effective date above. Material changes will be reflected in the app.
