Żappka app: Żabka's new rewards cost you more of your data

Żabka's new loyalty program promises more rewards in the Żappka app. The catch: to keep using it, you have to share more data with the chain.

Collecting żappsy in the Żappka app is getting more rewarding. It is also getting more personal. Żabka's new loyalty program offers more prizes, but the price is data you have to hand over to the chain if you want to keep using its services.

Żappka is the app of Żabka, the Polish convenience store chain. Shoppers collect żappsy, the app's points, and swap them for discounts and rewards. The new program expands that system. According to the story, the real change sits behind the points: the app asks for a range of information about you, and sharing it is the condition for staying in.

What does the Żappka app know about you?

The details are not spelled out here, so it is worth looking yourself. The app's permissions and privacy settings are the place to start. Check which kinds of data the app asks for, and which of them are tied to the new rewards.

Can you turn anything off?

Some of it, yes. The original report says there are settings you can switch off, but the available material does not list them one by one. Open the app's settings and consent screens and read each toggle before you accept the new terms.

The trade is an old one: a cheaper coffee or snack in exchange for information about how you shop. What is new is that the chain now makes data sharing the entry ticket to its latest program. Whether a few extra żappsy are worth it is a personal call, but it is better made after you have looked at what you are agreeing to.
