Fafnir
Contents
Short version: Fafnir keeps a library of the games, movies, shows, manga and books you want to get through or have finished. Your library lives on your device and is backed up to our database so you can restore it and compare with friends. We collect no name unless you choose to add one, no location, no advertising identifiers, and we never sell your data or show ads. To improve the app we record how it is used (for example which tabs are opened and how cards are swiped) in our own database; this is never shared or used for advertising. If you add friends, they can see your library and recommendations — nobody else can. You can delete your account from within the app at any time.
Fafnir is developed and operated by OLMO AS, organisation number 938 813 876, a limited company registered in Norway.
For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), OLMO AS is the data controller for personal data processed in connection with Fafnir.

When you first open Fafnir, we create an anonymous account for you so your library can be backed up. This account is identified only by a randomly generated identifier — it is not linked to your name, email, or phone number. You are also assigned a friend code (for example, FAF-1A2B3C4D) so friends can add you.
You may optionally set a display name. If you do, it is stored with your account and shown to friends next to your match score. Providing a display name is entirely optional.
You may optionally secure your account with Sign in with Apple, so your library follows you if you switch or reset your phone. When you do, Apple provides us with a stable, app-specific user identifier. We store this identifier to link your account to your Apple ID. We do not receive your Apple ID password, and if you choose to hide your email, we never see your real email address.
Instead of Sign in with Apple, you may secure your account with an email address. We store the address with your account and use it only to send you one-time sign-in codes, so you can restore your library on a new phone. We send no newsletters or marketing.
The content you create in Fafnir is synced to your account so it can be restored and shared with friends:
Fafnir does not fetch these titles from your other accounts or services — they only reflect what you swipe or add in the app.
To understand how Fafnir is used and where it can be improved, the app records simple usage events in our own database, stored with your account identifier and a random identifier for the installation. Examples:
Usage data is used only for analytics about the app. It is never shared with third parties, never used for advertising, and never combined with data from other apps or websites. It is deleted together with your account.
Fafnir learns which kinds of titles you like from your swipes and your library, and uses that to pick cards for you in Discover. This taste profile is calculated and stored on your device only; it is not sent to us.
Fafnir asks for camera access solely to scan a friend's QR code when adding them. The camera is used only to read the code in real time. No photos or video are captured, stored, or transmitted.
We use your data only to operate Fafnir:
The legal basis for processing this data is the performance of our contract with you (providing the app). Optional features — a display name, Sign in with Apple, securing with email, and adding friends — are processed on the basis of your consent, which you give by choosing to use them. Usage data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the app; you can object to this at any time by contacting us.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose beyond operating the app.
Fafnir is social by design, but only with people you deliberately add. When you and another user become friends by exchanging or scanning friend codes, that friend can see:
Nobody who is not your friend can see your library. Access is enforced at the database level with row-level security, so your data is only ever returned to you and to users you have added as friends. You can remove a friend at any time from within the app, which ends their access to your library.
Fafnir uses Supabase to host its database and handle authentication. Your account, library, and friendships are stored in a Supabase project hosted in the European Union. Supabase's data handling is governed by the Supabase Privacy Policy.
If you use Sign in with Apple, authentication is handled by Apple. Apple's data handling is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.
To show posters, cover art, descriptions, runtimes, and scores, Fafnir fetches public catalog information from third-party media databases. Requests for movie and TV data are routed through a Cloudflare proxy operated by OLMO AS, which keeps our API keys server-side and forwards no personal data. Game, manga, and book data are requested directly from the relevant service. As with any internet request, the receiving service can see the requesting device's IP address, but Fafnir sends no account information, display name, or library to these services. The providers are:
This app uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
Fafnir does not integrate any advertising SDK or third-party tracking library.
Your library is stored locally on your device and backed up to our Supabase database in the European Union. Data in transit is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. Access to your data is protected by authentication and enforced with database row-level security, so that your records are only accessible to you and to friends you have added.
The Cloudflare proxy used to fetch movie and TV data does not persist any request content or personal data.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the GDPR:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@olmo-technologies.com. We will respond within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet): www.datatilsynet.no.
Your account and synced library are retained for as long as you use Fafnir. You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account, your synced library, your profile, your friendships, and your usage data from our database. If you signed in with Apple, we also ask Apple to revoke Fafnir's access to your Apple ID.
From version 1.0.1, deleting your account also clears the library, swipe history and taste profile stored on your device. In earlier versions the local copy remains until you delete the app. Export your library from Settings first if you want to keep a copy. If you are a friend of another user, deleting your account also removes you from their friend list.
Fafnir is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify you within the app. Your continued use of Fafnir after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
