Sovereign Apps
Privacy notice
This notice explains how Sovereign Apps, based in New Zealand, handles information for Wake The Legends and its website purchase service. For privacy questions or requests, contact support@sovereignapps.world.
Your memories stay on your device
The Android app keeps the personal legends, memories and photograph references you add in local app storage. It does not upload them to Sovereign Apps. The app has no advertising, advertising identifier or behavioural analytics. Searches and listening choices are not sent to our licence service.
Activation sends your licence code and a device-identity hash to Sovereign Apps over an encrypted connection. Once activated, the device licence is checked locally and normal app use works offline. Further activation or recovery requests need an internet connection.
Automatic legend and app updates
Version 1.7 can download approved new profiles and corrections after the one-time app upgrade. Automatic collection downloads are on by default after activation. You can switch them off or request a manual check in Settings. Reading your saved collection remains available offline.
To check for or download a collection or app update, the app sends its signed device-bound licence token and device-identity hash to Sovereign Apps over an encrypted connection. These verify that the device is activated and entitled to receive the collection. The request does not upload your personal legends, photograph references, favourites, searches or listening choices. Ordinary hosting request information, including the IP address, may be processed as described below.
The app checks a collection’s digital signature before saving it in private app storage. Download choices, notification choices and the record used to avoid repeated notices are stored locally. New legend alerts need Android notification permission; you can decline or disable them without disabling collection downloads. Background checks are approximate and may be delayed by Android or an unavailable connection.
Payment and licence information
Stripe processes your payment. It collects the payment and contact information needed for checkout, receipts, fraud prevention and its legal obligations. Sovereign Apps may access transaction and checkout contact details through Stripe to verify purchases and handle support or refunds. Our licence service does not store your full card number.
The licence service stores a purchase reference, a licence record, a hashed recovery code, creation and activation details, and up to two device-identity hashes. These records provide access, enforce the device limit and allow licence recovery. We do not create a customer account or mailing-list membership when you buy.
Buying and activating the app is your choice. The payment and licence details are needed to verify payment and provide access; without them, the service cannot complete checkout, activation or recovery. Contacting support and supplying additional information is voluntary, although we may be unable to resolve a request without enough information to verify it.
Website hosting and support
Netlify hosts the website and licence functions. Web requests expose ordinary technical information such as an IP address and requested URL to the hosting service. The licence functions use an IP-address hash and request counters to limit abusive requests; hashes are not a guarantee of anonymity.
If you email support, we receive the email address, message and any purchase details or attachments you choose to send. We use them to answer you, verify ownership and investigate the issue. Send only information relevant to your request.
Stripe, Netlify and our email provider process information for their services and may store or process it outside New Zealand. Their handling is also governed by their own privacy terms. See Stripe’s privacy policy and Netlify’s privacy policy.
Retention and your choices
Licence and recovery records are retained while needed to support your permanent licence, enforce its device limit and handle purchase disputes. Financial records are kept for the periods required by law. Support correspondence and security records are kept while needed for replies, unresolved issues, abuse prevention or legal obligations.
You can request access to or correction of your personal information, or ask us to delete information we no longer need. We may need to verify your identity and purchase first. Some information must be retained for legal reasons or to support your ongoing licence; deleting licence records can prevent future activation or recovery. We will explain any information we need to retain.
You can delete local personal legends within the app. Uninstalling it or clearing app storage can remove local content; keep your own copies of memories or photographs you want to preserve.
