Privacy Policy

Effective date: 11 September 2026

The short version

Pevu is built so that we never receive your data in the first place: the app transmits video and audio exclusively and directly between your two devices in your local network – end-to-end encrypted, with no account, no cloud, no recording and no analytics services. We operate no server on which data from the app could arrive. This website uses Google Analytics as its only third-party service, for audience measurement; you can decline it at any time in the cookie notice (Section 3a). If you join the waiting list before launch, we store your name and e-mail address for that purpose only, on our own server in Germany (Section 3b). We provide this Privacy Policy in several languages; the German version is binding.

2. Data processing in the Pevu app

Video and audio. Camera and microphone signals are processed exclusively locally on your devices and transmitted directly between your baby unit and your parent device (WebRTC with DTLS-SRTP encryption). The transmission never leaves your local network or the travel network set up by Pevu; no servers of ours or of third parties are involved. Nothing is stored or recorded – including no recordings of children.

No account, no analytics. The app requires no registration and contains no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting services. We collect no usage statistics and no device identifiers.

Data stored locally. To reconnect, the app stores pairing data (including a secret key and the device fingerprint of the other device) exclusively in the protected storage of your devices (iOS Keychain or Android Keystore), as well as your settings, a local event log (e.g. „connection lost at 02:13“) and – after a purchase – a local unlock token for Pevu Full that is sent to your second device when the devices connect. This data never leaves your devices and is removed when you delete the app.

Permissions and their purpose.

Microphone: transmitting audio from the nursery to your second device, and talk-back.
Camera: transmitting video (only in „Video and audio“ mode) and scanning the pairing QR code.
Local network / Bonjour (iOS): finding the other device in the same Wi-Fi.
Notifications: alarms, e.g. on connection loss or noise.
Location or „Nearby devices“ (Android only, travel mode only): setting up and joining a local hotspot requires this permission for system reasons. We do not determine, store or transmit any location.
Keep screen on / battery optimisation (Android): so that monitoring is not stopped by the system at night.

Apple Watch and Live Activities. Status and – if you wish – still images are transmitted exclusively between your iPhone and your Apple Watch; Live Activities and lock-screen displays are rendered by the operating system on your device. No servers are involved here either.

Purchases and subscriptions. Pevu Full is handled as an in-app purchase or subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The payment processor and contracting party for the payment is the respective store; we receive no payment data and no personal data about your store account. The app only receives confirmation from the store that a purchase or an active subscription exists, and stores it locally. The privacy policies of Apple and Google apply.

Ratings and contact. The request for a rating is made through the system dialog of Apple or Google; we do not learn who has rated. If you write to us by e-mail from within the app, only your e-mail program opens; no data is transmitted automatically.

Children and other persons. The app is intended exclusively for adults – parents and other caregivers – and not for children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children; video and audio of your child remain exclusively on your devices and are neither stored nor transmitted to us or to third parties. You are responsible for the use of camera and microphone in your home. Processing for purely personal or household purposes falls under the household exemption of the GDPR (Art. 2(2)(c)). You must inform other persons who regularly stay within the captured area (e.g. caregivers) about the use (see Terms of Use, Section 4).

No transfers to third countries, no automated decisions. The app transmits no data to third countries and makes no automated decisions within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. The alarms are purely technical reactions to thresholds calculated on your devices.

3. Data processing on this website

This website is a static site. Fonts, images and all content are delivered from our own hosting. The only embedded third-party service is Google Analytics (Section 3a).

When you visit, the hosting provider processes technically necessary connection data (in particular IP address, time, requested file, amount of data transferred, referrer and user agent) in server log files in order to deliver the site, fend off attacks and ensure the security of operation (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The log files are deleted automatically after 14 days.

Hosting provider: Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. The server is located in a data centre in Germany; a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the hosting provider.

3a. Google Analytics and cookie notice

For audience measurement we use Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“). Google Analytics sets cookies (in particular „_ga“ and „ga…“, lifetime up to two years) and processes information about your use of this website (pages visited, time spent, approximate origin, device and browser). IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4 but used only for coarse location determination and then discarded. The data may be transferred to Google servers in the USA; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Event data is retained in Google Analytics for the period configured there (at most 14 months).

On your first visit the website shows a cookie notice. Google Analytics is loaded as soon as you open the website and remains active until you choose „Decline“ in the cookie notice or your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal; in both cases Google Analytics is switched off and existing analytics cookies are deleted. We store your choice exclusively in your browser (local storage, no cookie) and you can change it at any time via „Cookie settings“ in the footer of every page. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in audience measurement and improvement of the offer); where consent is required, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German TDDDG, which you grant or refuse in the cookie notice. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Google (Google data processing terms). Further information: Google's privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy) and the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

3b. Waiting list

Until Pevu is released on the App Store and Google Play, you can join a waiting list on this website. In doing so we process the data you enter in the form – your name, your e-mail address and optionally the type of your phone (iPhone/Android) – as well as the language and the address of the page on which you signed up, and the time of sign-up. The sole purpose is to notify you once by e-mail as soon as Pevu is available in the stores. There is no newsletter, no advertising and no disclosure to third parties.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by submitting the form. You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future – a short e-mail to info@deep-platforms.com is sufficient, and we will delete your entry promptly. The entries are stored on our own server at Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany (Section 3) and are deleted no later than three months after the notification about the launch of Pevu. Your IP address is used only briefly in the server's memory when you sign up, to prevent abuse (rate limiting), and is not stored together with your entry.

4. Contact by e-mail

If you write to us by e-mail, we process the data transmitted (e-mail address, content, any attachments) to handle your request (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for handling and no statutory retention obligations exist.

5. Your rights

Within the statutory requirements you have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21). You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority; the authority responsible for us is the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.

Since the Pevu app transmits no personal data to us, we generally hold no data about app users about which we could provide information – the data is exclusively on your devices. An exception is your entry in the waiting list (Section 3b): you can obtain access, rectification and erasure of it at any time by e-mail.

6. Changes and language versions

We adapt this Privacy Policy when the app, the website or the legal situation changes. The current version can be found in the app and at pevu.app/datenschutz/ (German) and pevu.app/en/datenschutz/ (this translation). Translations into other languages are provided for ease of understanding; in case of discrepancies, the German version applies.
