  1. data collection in the context of app use

Personal data may be collected in the context of app use in the following ways in particular:

  1. your data is automatically collected by our systems or the service providers we commission. For example, analysis data for usage statistics and for troubleshooting.
  2. your data is collected based on the access rights that this app requires and that you have granted us.

4.1 Data automatically collected by our systems or contracted service providers.

- IP address, country of installation (from the IP address) and language.

- Device manufacturer and model disk type (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, etc.) and operating system.

- Downloaded content / packages with IP address mapping.

IP addresses are stored for 6 months and deleted afterwards. In aggregated and anonymized form, usage data is stored for a longer period of time. This data is collected for the purpose of operating, providing and optimizing the app and is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO for legitimate interest as well as Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO based on your consent to this privacy policy.

4.2 Data collected based on the access rights that this app requires and that you have granted us.

In order to provide our services via the App, we require the access rights enumerated below, which allow us to access certain features of your device. Your express consent (opt-in) is required to access this data. You can give this as part of the installation process. This data is thus processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

Access to the location

Reason: The app connects via Bluetooth to the purchased hardware (base station) to transmit the measured values. The location information of the device is not collected or stored.

Access to memory

The access is therefore based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time.

Revocation if you use Android:

  1. tap Settings
  2. tap permissions
  3. tap memory
  4. scroll to APP and turn off / revoke permission.
