Effective July 2026
Belong Nordic comes in two versions and they handle your data differently. The iPhone app keeps everything on your device and sends us nothing. The web app needs an account, so the situation you enter is stored securely on our servers and synced to your browser. This policy explains both so you can pick the one that suits you.
Belong Nordic is made by Belong Europe ApS, a company registered in Copenhagen, Denmark, CVR number 46649044. For the web app we are the data controller for the personal data described below. If you have a question about this policy you can reach us at hello@belongeurope.com.
The iOS app works by letting you record your own situation, things like your residence history, any penalties, language and test progress and which country you are tracking. This information can be sensitive. On the iPhone 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.
Signing in on the iPhone is optional. If you choose to sign in with your Belong account on the You tab, so that one subscription can unlock both the iPhone app and the web app, two things are sent to us and nothing more: your email address and, if you have an App Store subscription, Apple's signed confirmation of it, which we verify and use to mark your subscription active. Your tracker data still stays on your device, signed in or not. If you never sign in, nothing leaves your phone.
The web app needs an account so you can open your tracker in any browser. When you sign up we store your email address and the situation you enter, the same kind of information listed above, on our servers so it is there when you sign in again. We use it only to run your account and show you your tracker. We do not sell it, we do not use it for advertising and we do not share it except with the service providers described below who help us operate the app. You can edit or clear your entries at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account and its data.
For the iPhone app, nothing personal, unless you choose to sign in to the optional Belong account, in which case we hold your email address and your subscription status. It has no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third party software development kits that gather data about you. For the web app we hold only what your account needs: your email address, the tracker information you enter and the billing status of your subscription. We do not build an advertising profile of you.
Both versions offer an optional yearly subscription. On the iPhone, purchases are handled by Apple through your Apple Account, and we never see your payment details. On the web, payments are handled by Stripe, our payment processor. When you subscribe on the web you enter your card details directly with Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. Stripe shares with us only what we need to manage your subscription, such as whether it is active and the last few digits of your card. Apple's and Stripe's handling of your payment are governed by their own privacy policies.
One subscription unlocks both apps. To link them, the iPhone app sends us Apple's signed confirmation of your subscription. It tells us that your subscription is genuine and active and when it expires. It contains no payment details.
To run the web app we use a small number of providers who process data on our behalf: a hosting and database provider that stores your account, an email provider that sends your sign-in codes and links and Stripe for payments. They act under agreements that require them to protect your data and use it only to provide their service to us. We use no third party analytics or advertising services.
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.
Web app data is stored on servers in the European Union or in countries that provide an equivalent level of protection. Payment data handled by Stripe may be processed outside the European Economic Area under the safeguards Stripe maintains.
For the web app we keep your account data for as long as your account is open. If you delete your account we remove your tracker data, and we keep only the limited billing records the law requires us to retain. If you only use the iPhone app and never sign in, we hold nothing about you, so there is nothing for us to retain. If you have signed in on the iPhone, your email address and subscription status are kept and deleted under the same account rules above.
For the iPhone app your tracker information stays on your device and never reaches us, so we hold no copy of it to export or erase, and you stay in full control through the app. For any account you hold, whether you use it on the web or signed in on the iPhone, you have the rights the GDPR gives you: to access the data we hold about you, to correct it, to erase it, to restrict or object to its use and to receive a copy in a portable form. To exercise any of these, or to delete your account, contact us at the address above and we will respond. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Belong Nordic 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.
