I. Privacy Policy

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat these data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to our mobile iPhone and Android apps (referred to below as “APP”). It describes the nature, purpose and scope of data collection as an element of APP usage. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet may involve security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

General storage period of personal data

Notwithstanding any deviating or defining data within this Privacy Policy, the personal data collected by this APP will be stored until such times as you ask us to delete them, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose of data storage ceases to apply. Where a statutory obligation for storage or other such legally recognized reason for storing the data (e.g. legitimate interest) exists, the personal data concerned shall not be deleted before the reason for storage ceases to apply.

Legal grounds for storing personal data

Personal data are allowed to be processed only if there are effective legal grounds for the processing of such data. Any processing of your data by ourselves occurs regularly on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1 lit. a GDPR [General Data Protection Regulation] (e.g. on voluntarily entering your data into the login screen or the contact form), for the purpose of contractual fulfilment in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1 lit. b GDPR (on making in-APP purchases or using other chargeable APP functions) or on account of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which will always be weighed against your interests (e.g. as part of advertising measures). The legal grounds relevant in each case are stated in more concrete terms elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.

Encryption

This APP uses encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the APP operator, or communication between the APP users. This encryption prevents the data you transmit being read by third parties.

Amendments to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy, in compliance with the statutory requirements, at any time.

II. Your rights

The GDPR grants affected parties, whose personal data we process, certain rights and we would like to explain those to you at this juncture:

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing activities are possible only with your consent. We shall explicitly obtain such consent from you prior to starting any data processing activities. You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing activities carried out up to revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT ADVERTISING (ART. 21 GDPR)

THE LEGAL GROUNDS ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS LINKED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

IF THE DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6, PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU SHALL BE ENTITLED TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ENSUING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS APPLIES ALSO TO PROFILING ON THE BASIS OF THESE PROVISIONS.

IF YOU FILE AN OBJECTION, WE SHALL CEASE TO PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN PROVIDE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

Right of appeal to a supervisory authority

In case of infringements against the GDPR, the party concerned shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Information, deletion and correction

You have the right to free-of-charge information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to have such data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to limitation of processing

You shall be entitled to demand a limitation to the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the test, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • If your personal data have been or are being processed illegally, you shall be entitled to demand, in lieu of deletion, a limitation to processing.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being deleted.
  • If you have filed an objection according to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed up. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be used with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest processed by the European Union or a member state.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

III. Access rights concerning the APP

To provision our services via the APP, we require the access rights listed below that allow us to access certain functions of your device.

 

Location data

Access to device functions is required to guarantee the functionalities of the APP. The legal grounds for this data processing is our legitimate interest as defined by Art. 6, para. 1 lit. f GDPR, your consent as defined by Art. 6, para. 1 lit. f GDPR or – insofar as a contract has been concluded – the fulfillment of our contractual obligations (Art. 6, para. 1, lit. b GDPR).

The storage period for the data thus collected is set out as follows: the data are not stored.

IV. Recording of personal data as part of APP usage

General

When you use our APP, we shall not record any personal data from you:

Inquiry within the APP, via e-mail, phone or fax

Whenever you contact us (e.g. via contact form within the App, via email, phone or fax) we will save and process your inquiry, including all of the personal data it contains (e.g. name, inquiry) for the purpose of handling your request. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, such processing is based on

your consent (Art. 6, para. 1, lit. a GDPR) and/or is in our legitimate interests (Art. 6, para. 1, lit. f GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us. The data you sent to us in the contact request form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the data storage purpose no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
