  1. Data exchange by using the App

Principle: Local processing
All processing operations take place exclusively locally on your device, a deletion of the app also leads to the deletion of all data processed with the app.  We have configured our app so that it does not send any data to our servers. This also includes metadata that is generated in the context of server log files. The use of the app is completely anonymous. This means that Kosmos Verlag does not know the users and cannot establish a reference to their identity.

  1. Access authorizations in the end device

For the full functionality of the app, it is necessary that you grant access rights. At this point, we would like to explicitly point out that no data exchange with our systems takes place even by granting access rights.

You can revoke the granting of access rights at any time, for this purpose call up the settings with app permissions in your device. Depending on the operating system, you can find the rights management in the settings under Apps or Permissions. More detailed information can be found in the operating instructions of your device or operating system.
