What you publish on the map is public. The rest is neither sold nor handed over.
This policy covers the Pétanque Meet mobile app
(com.ludivenstudio.petanquemeet) and the meet-up map it shares with the website
(ludiven-studio.fr/petanque-meet). The rest of the website has its
own policy. Last updated: 11 November 2026.
This is a courtesy translation. In case of discrepancy, the original French version prevails.
The essentials:
Publisher of the app and data controller:
See also the legal notice (in French).
To take action (publish a game or a tournament, sign up, report), you sign in with Google (Android) or Apple (iPhone). We then receive an account identifier and your email address; with Apple, this may be the relay address that hides yours. We never receive your password. With Google, the sign-in service also keeps the name and photo of your Google profile: we do not show them and do not use them.
This account is used to link your games and sign-ups to you, on all your devices, and to enforce the rules. Your email address is shown only to you, in the "Account and help" screen, and is never shown to other players.
The map can be viewed by anyone, in the app as on the website, without an account. The following is visible to everyone:
The first name is the only free text of a game. It does not need to be complete: a first name or a nickname is enough. Do not put a surname, a number or an address in it.
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis | Recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account identifier and email address | Signing you in, linking your games to you | Performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) | Supabase; Google or Apple for sign-in |
| Games: pitch, time, format, places, organiser's first name | Publishing the game on the map | Performance of the contract | Supabase; public |
| Sign-ups: first name, number of places, role | Joining a game | Performance of the contract | Supabase; public |
| Tournaments: club, title, details, fee, optional phone number, optional poster | Announcing a tournament | Performance of the contract | Supabase; public once the poster is approved |
| Followed tournaments | Finding a tournament in your agenda; giving the organiser a number of interested players | Performance of the contract | Supabase; the organiser only sees a total |
| Coordinates of a new pitch | Finding the name of the place and of the town | Performance of the contract | OpenStreetMap (Nominatim), called by our server |
| Fingerprint of the IP address (see §6) | Limiting abuse and spam | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) | Supabase |
| Reports: reason, your details for wrong information, identifier of the reporting account | Moderation | Legitimate interest | Supabase; the publisher, by email via Resend |
| "This is my club" request: your message (name, role in the club, phone number), your account's email address | Checking with the club that you represent it, then moving its tournaments to your account | Performance of the contract | Supabase; the publisher, by email via Resend |
| Text of a place search; for komoot, also the centre of the map shown, rounded to about ten kilometres, and the app's language | Finding a town or an address on the map | Performance of the contract | IGN (Géoplateforme) and komoot (Photon): each search goes to both |
| Usage statistics, with no account and no identifier (see §8) | Knowing which features are used and improving the app | Legitimate interest | Umami, on our server (Hetzner, Germany) |
| Advertising identifier and other device identifiers, IP address, interactions with ads, usage time, technical information, purchases (declared by Unity Ads; the app offers none) (see §9) | Showing, choosing and measuring the advertising banner, fighting fraud | Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)). Up to version 0.1.6: your consent for personalised ads, legitimate interest otherwise | Unity Technologies and its subsidiary ironSource (Unity LevelPlay, ironSource Ads, Unity Ads); through their auctions, other ad buyers. Up to version 0.1.6: Google (AdMob) and its advertising partners |
The app does not collect your contacts or your photos (apart from the poster you choose to send). Your GPS location is never sent to us (see §5). Your surname is only asked for in a "This is my club" request, and only the publisher sees it. Your phone's advertising identifier is only read by the ironSource and Unity Ads advertising modules, and only with your consent (see §9): we do not receive it.
The "Near me" button asks for access to your location only when you tap it. The app reads one position, centres the map and computes the distances to the games, then stops location. This position is never sent to us.
When you search for a place, komoot receives the centre of the map shown, rounded to about ten kilometres, to suggest nearby places first. Right after "Near me", this centre is close to your position: komoot therefore only knows its region.
What we receive is the location of the pitch you choose on the map for a game or a tournament, never that of your device.
The service counts, per day, the listings, sign-ups and reports of each account and each connection. Your IP address is never stored: it is turned into a non-reversible fingerprint, mixed with a secret known only to the server. Without this secret, the fingerprint cannot be traced back to an address.
The texts entered go through an automatic filter (links, offensive words). A listing reported by several players is hidden while the publisher checks it.
You can report a game or a tournament (offensive first name, fake listing, unsuitable poster, nobody came). Your report is anonymous towards other players: no one knows who made it. It is, however, recorded with your account identifier, to prevent serial reporting.
The publisher is alerted by email and sees the listing, the first names, the reason, your details for wrong information and the number of reports, never the identity of who reported. They can restore the listing, remove it or suspend the offending account. For a suspended account, only the technical identifier is kept, so that the suspension holds.
Tournament posters stay private until the publisher approves them. A rejected poster is erased at once.
"This is my club". To take over your club's tournaments imported from a committee calendar, you give your name, your role in the club and a phone number. The publisher receives this message by email with your account's address, checks with the club, then replies to you by email. No one else sees it.
The app sends to Umami, a cookie-free statistics tool installed on our own server, the name of the actions taken (opening the app, opening a game, signing up, publishing, signing in, sharing, reporting, seeing or tapping one of our house ads, with the name of the app shown…), together with the platform, the app and system version, the language, the screen size and the phone model.
No first name, account identifier, email address, GPS location, search text or listing identifier is included. These statistics are linked neither to your account nor to your identity.
Like any web service, Umami sees your phone's IP address. It does not keep it, but infers from it the country, the region and the city. To count visitors, it groups the actions made from the same connection and the same phone model, for one calendar month at most.
This server is rented from Hetzner Online GmbH, which hosts it in Germany. Each of the studio's apps has its own separate statistics there, and no one else receives them. Versions of the app that have not yet been updated still send them to Umami Cloud (Umami Software, Inc., United States).
The app shows an advertising banner at the top of the screen. It funds the service, which stays free, and it is served by Unity LevelPlay with the ironSource Ads and Unity Ads networks (Unity Technologies and its subsidiary ironSource). When no ad is available, or if you refuse advertising, the banner shows our other apps instead, signed "Ludiven Studio". It shows our pétanque apps first; on Android, when they are all already installed on your phone, it may show one of our games. To know this, the app checks which of ours are installed there, and this information stays on your phone. Tapping the banner opens the store page of the app shown, with a note saying that you come from Pétanque Meet. The app downloads the list of these apps and their images from this website, sending nothing other than the request itself. Nothing else is sent, apart from the fact that one of these apps was shown or tapped (see §8). Up to version 0.1.6, this banner only presents Pétanque Scan.
Your consent. At first launch, the app asks whether you accept advertising from these partners, with two identical buttons, "Accept" and "Refuse". Your choice stays on your phone and you are asked again after 6 months. If you refuse, no advertising module is started and nothing is sent to them: only our banner for our other apps is shown. You can change your mind at any time: "Account and help" → "Ad choices". If you withdraw your consent, our partners' banner disappears at once and the app reports the withdrawal to Unity LevelPlay. On iPhone, after an "Accept", the app also asks for Apple's tracking permission; without it, the iPhone's advertising identifier is not used and the ads are not personalised.
With your consent, to show ads, choose them according to your interests, measure them and fight fraud, the ironSource and Unity Ads modules store and read information on your phone. They receive its advertising identifier and other device identifiers, your IP address (which gives an approximate location, at city level), your interactions with the ads, how long you use the app, technical information (model, language, connection type, performance) and, according to Unity Ads, your purchases (the app offers none). Their auctions may pass the ad request on to other ad buyers. We pass on to them neither your account, nor your email address, nor your first name, nor your games.
Versions of the app up to 0.1.6 still request their ads from Google AdMob. At each launch they check Google's consent form, which then sees your phone's IP address; without your consent, their ads are not personalised.
You can also reset or delete the advertising identifier in your phone's settings. To learn more, and for ironSource's and Unity Ads' partners: Unity's privacy policy, which covers Unity Ads, LevelPlay and ironSource. For versions up to 0.1.6: the Google Privacy Policy.
All of this stays on the device and disappears when you uninstall the app.
Reminders. If you accept it, the app schedules a reminder on your phone one hour before your games. These are local notifications: no server sends you a message.
Your data is neither sold nor handed over. It is only processed by these providers:
The "Directions" button opens Google Maps or Apple Maps with the pitch's address. The "Share" button passes a link to the listing to the app you choose. Their use is then governed by these services.
Some providers are US companies. These transfers are governed by the mechanisms of Chapter V of the GDPR: standard contractual clauses and, for the providers concerned, certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
In the app: "Account and help" → "Delete my account". It is immediate and final:
Your account is a Ludiven Studio account: the same one is used in our other apps. Deleting it also erases what they have saved for it (saves).
Your past games stay in the database for a while, without a first name, linked to a technical identifier that no longer points to any account. They then follow the periods in §12.
You can also ask for deletion by email at contact@ludiven-studio.fr, from your account's address.
Under the GDPR, you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. To exercise them, or to have a listing, a first name or a sign-up removed, write to contact@ludiven-studio.fr. We reply within one month.
If you believe your rights are not being respected, you can lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL (www.cnil.fr), 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07.
The app is used to meet other players in real life. It is meant for people aged 15 and over. A minor must have their parents' consent, and should not go alone to a game with strangers. If you are a parent and notice that a child has created an account, write to us: we will delete it.
All exchanges are encrypted (HTTPS). The map's data can only be accessed by our server: no direct access to the database is open, not even for reading. Your session is kept in the app's storage on your phone.
This policy may change with the app. The date of the last update appears at the top of the page. In the event of a significant change, the app will let you know.
