What's new in this version

This is a plain-language summary of the changes provided for convenience. It does not replace the full Policy below; where this summary and a numbered Section differ, the Section governs.

• The app is now published by CREATIVE ADVENTURES LAB, a French SASU registered in Paris, which is also the data controller. Same app, same team — the change is administrative. Your collection, your scan history, your subscription and the way your data is handled stay exactly as they are. → Section 13
• New contact address: [email protected], for privacy requests and everything else, and a contact option in Settings that opens your own email app. → Sections 2.H, 3, 4, 7, 12 and 13
• Updates and clarifications to age range data. The app now asks Apple for your age range only where age-assurance rules apply to you; elsewhere you confirm you are 16 or older yourself. Your age-assurance information and your sign-in session are now kept in the device's secure keychain. The change is that these values now survive uninstalling the app, so a notice you have already acknowledged is not asked for again. → Sections 2.A, 2.G and 8
• Other updates and clarifications. → Sections 2.C, 5, 7, 12, 14 and 15
