Historical notice for the earlier points-challenge test. It does not apply to the new prize draw. Archiving does not retroactively change previously accepted rules.

Optional challenge test

In supported test versions, you can explicitly join a time-limited challenge test. There are no cash prizes and no purchase or subscription is required. Test rules are shown and accepted separately before joining. Apple does not sponsor or participate in this activity. The provider is Axel Springer Deutschland GmbH.

To provide the test you request, under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR we process your account reference, participation and rules version, public recommendations and place references, and follow relationships and timestamps between participating accounts. Only new, eligible activity after joining counts. Only participants see public profile names, ranks and test points; private places and messages are not used. Test scores are separate from regular community points.

You can leave at any time in the test screen. This removes your participation and test score; your account, places and regular points remain. A round lasts at most seven days. Its test data is due for deletion one day after the end and is deleted by the regular cleanup within six hours. Account deletion also deletes participation. You can exercise access and other privacy rights through support@circlerecs.com; an authenticated participation export is also available. The test adds no new providers or advertising trackers.
