  • Anonymous usage statistics of the API calls of the app backend

We only collect, process and use personal data if you provide it to us voluntarily, e.g. by filling out a registration form or using functions within the app. The following personal data may be collected and processed by us:

  • Name (for login with OAUTH)
  • E-mail address

  • Provide and improve the app and its features (including a watchlist).
  • Provide you with personalized content, recommendations and features

  • Create usage statistics
  • send marketing materials, if applicable, provided that you have expressly consented to this.

6. data security

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from loss, manipulation or unauthorized access by third parties.

10. revocation of your consent to data processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

11. right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of data protection legislation, the data subject shall have a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in data protection matters is the state data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of the data protection officers and their contact information can be found in the following link:  https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz.de/

12. data storage and deletion

The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in its processing in accordance with the statutory provisions. Unless expressly stated within the scope of this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

13. use of third-party services and content

Within our app, we may integrate content and services from third-party providers, such as map material from Google Maps or fonts from Google Fonts. The use of such services always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter "third-party providers") are aware of your IP address, since without the IP address they could not send the content to your browser. The IP address is thus required for the display of this content. We make every effort to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we inform the users about it.
