Some of our service providers (e.g. Google/Firebase, Cloudinary) are based outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. If personal data is transferred to a third country, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is in place. This is done in particular by using standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or comparable recognised safeguards.
7. Your consent and how to withdraw it
Where we process your data on the basis of your consent, you can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected. You can also request information about the personal data stored about you and request its rectification or deletion, provided that no statutory retention obligations prohibit this.
8. Your rights under the GDPR
Depending on the circumstances, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): You can request information about which data we process about you.
- Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You can request the correction of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data.

In such cases, the personal data concerned will also be deleted, unless it must be stored for a longer period for legal reasons.
10. Provision of your data
The provision of certain data (e.g. email address, password) is necessary for registration and use of the app. Without this data, we cannot provide you with the basic functions of the app. All additional information is voluntary but may be required in order to use certain features to their full extent.

You can delete your account at any time in the app settings. This will irreversibly delete all personal data directly associated with your account, unless statutory retention obligations require continued storage. To use the app again, you will need to register anew, unless you use an anonymous account. If you have any questions, our support team will be happy to help.
12. Source of the data
As a rule, we receive personal data directly from you when you use the app or enter information. In addition, certain data is collected automatically via your device, the operating system or through services used (e.g. Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics) in order to provide, secure and improve the app.
13. Profiling and automated decision-making
We do not use solely automated decision-making processes that produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you (Art. 22 GDPR). However, we do use analysis and evaluation methods to display personalised content, statistics and recommendations for you. This processing is based on our legitimate interests and – where required – your consent.
14. Tracking technologies and SDKs
The app uses various software development kits (SDKs) and tracking technologies, including Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Dynamic Links, to analyse and improve the stability, security and usage of the app. In the web version, cookies and similar technologies may also be used, the use of which you can control via our cookie banner (Cookiebot).
