Downloading it may require prior registration with the Google Play Store and/or installation of the respective Google Play Store software. Installing the App As far as we are aware, Google collects and processes the following data: License check, network access, network connection, WLAN connections, and location information. However, it cannot be ruled out that Google also transmits the information to a server in a third country. We cannot influence which personal data Google processes with your registration and the provision of downloads in the Google Play Store and Google Play Store software. The responsible party in this respect is solely Google as the operator of the Google Play Store. Device information Google may collect information from and about the device(s) you use to access the App, including hardware and software information such as IP address, device ID and type, device-specific and App settings and properties, App crashes, advertising IDs (AAID), information about your wireless and mobile network connection such as your service provider and signal strength; information about device sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass.

Push messages When you use our App, you will receive so-called push messages from us, even if you are not currently using our App. These are messages that we send you as part of the performance of the contract. You can adjust or stop receiving push messages at any time via the device settings of your device. Insofar as you consent to the use of push messages, consent is the legal basis for the processing.

By integrating Google services, Google may collect and process information (including personal data). It cannot be excluded that Google also transfers the information to a server in a third country. We cannot influence which data Google collects and processes. Firebase’s key security and privacy information can be found here: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy The legal basis is the implementation of the user contract for the use of the App. Google Analytics for Firebase Our App uses the web analytics service Google Analytics for Firebase, which uses tracking technologies to track your use of our App. In this respect, information is generated about, among other things, the number of users and their sessions, the session duration, the operating system used by the users, their device model, the region from which our App is accessed, the first start of our App, our App execution and any updates. In order to provide the relevant data for analysis, Firebase Analytics uses your a) device’s advertising ID, b) an App instance ID (a randomly generated number that identifies a single app installation), c) and the IP address, which is shortened (IP masking) before being processed on Google’s servers (which may be located outside the UAE/EEA) to generate the usage analysis. You can object to the use of Firebase Analytics at any time by disabling the sending of usage statistics in your device settings (Reset Advertising ID). We have no influence on these data processing operations.The basis for processing is our legitimate interest and your consent.
