This Privacy Policy describes how the Dopacart iOS app ("Dopacart", "we") handles information. Dopacart is a simulated, for-entertainment shopping experience: you browse a curated catalog and place pretend orders. No real products are sold or shipped, and no real payments are processed.
In short: Dopacart uses no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs and does not track you across other apps or websites. It does show ads through Google AdMob (see "Advertising" below). Otherwise we collect only what's needed to run and improve the app — first-party usage and interaction data, and (if you sign in) your account, the pretend orders you place, and your saved checkout details so they sync across your devices.
You can browse and place pretend orders as a guest, or sign in to save your activity across devices. The information we handle depends on which you choose, as described below.
Because the checkout is meant to feel real, it asks for a name, shipping address, and card details. There are no real charges in Dopacart, and the full card number and security code (CVV) you type are never stored and never sent to our server — they exist only in the checkout form on your device.
To make checkout convenient across your devices, if you save a card we keep only its brand, last four digits, expiry, and the cardholder name — never the full card number or CVV. When you are signed in, your saved shipping address and this card metadata are stored with your account on our server so a new device restores them on login; as a guest they stay on your device only. You can remove a saved card or address in the app at any time, and deleting your account removes them from our server.
Signed-in members can send a (pretend) order to another member at checkout, identified by that member's email address or send code. We use that email or code only to look up the recipient and deliver the order into their Orders, attributed to your name or @username. To protect members' privacy we never disclose whether a given email belongs to a member — if there's no matching member, nothing happens and the sender isn't told either way. We don't use these emails for any other purpose.
Dopacart shows ads through Google AdMob (the Google Mobile Ads SDK). To deliver ads, prevent fraud, and cap how often an ad is shown, Google may collect device information and in-app activity and may use a device identifier. Dopacart does not request App Tracking Transparency permission, so by default ads are non-personalized and your advertising identifier (IDFA) is not used to track you across other apps or websites. Google's handling of advertising data is governed by How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Google's Privacy Policy. You can limit ad personalization in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising.
Ads appear in a few forms: small banners, occasional full-screen interstitials, and ads within the shopping feed. Some optional extras (such as unlocking a Bonus category) can be unlocked by choosing to watch a rewarded ad — watching is always your choice, and you can use the rest of the app without it.
If you sign in, Dopacart includes a leaderboard that ranks shoppers by the (pretend) money they "didn't spend" and by their daily streak. You are not shown on it by default — you appear only if you turn on "Show me on the leaderboard" in your profile. When you do, your entry shows your first name and last initial (for example, "Alex T.") — never your email — alongside those numbers, and you can turn it off again at any time.
You can optionally share your favorites/wishlist so other shoppers can see and "gift" them. This is off by default; when you turn it on, your shared favorites and your first name and last initial become visible to other users, and you can turn it off again at any time.
If you sign in, you can post product reviews. A review is shown publicly alongside your first name and last initial (for example, "Alex T."), never your email. Reviews are moderated: a review you submit is visible only to you until we approve it. Please don't include personal or sensitive information in a review. We may edit or remove reviews and may suspend an account that abuses the feature; you can also ask us to remove a review you posted by emailing us.
Dopacart uses Apple's App Attest to confirm that requests come from a genuine, unmodified copy of the app, which protects the service from abuse. App Attest produces a device-level integrity signal only; it does not identify you and is not used for tracking.
Account records, pretend orders, reviews, usage events, and — when you are signed in — your saved
shipping address and card metadata (brand, last four, expiry, cardholder name) are stored on our own
server at api.taskgizmo.com so they sync across your devices. Your cart and app
preferences (and, as a guest, your saved address and card metadata) are stored locally on your
device and are removed when you delete the app.
When you choose to sign in, Google or Apple acts as an identity provider; their handling of the sign-in is governed by their own privacy policies. If you enable notifications, delivery is handled by Apple's Push Notification service. Dopacart shows ads through Google AdMob (see "Advertising"). Dopacart integrates no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, and we do not sell or rent your personal information.
Dopacart is a general-audience app. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
You can use the app as a guest, sign out at any time, and turn notifications, leaderboard visibility, and favorites sharing on or off. If you have an account, you can delete it and all associated data from within the app (Profile → Delete account), or by emailing us at the address below. Deleting the app removes the data stored locally on your device.
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent change.
