• Consent: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, for cases where you have given us your explicit consent for a specific processing purpose.

When you use our App, our servers automatically collect and store information that your device transmits. This data may include:

• IP address
• Date and time of the server request

• App version

This data is not merged with other data sources. The processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in ensuring the technical stability, security, and functionality of our App.

This data is used exclusively to provide you with the functionalities of your user account, to manage your relationship with us, and to ensure the secure operation of our service. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

4. Use of Third-Party Services and SDKs

We do not integrate third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) for analytics, advertising, or crash reporting within the App itself. However, to provide our service, we may use external service providers for backend infrastructure (e.g., hosting, databases). These providers are carefully selected and operate as data processors on our behalf under strict contractual agreements (Data Processing Agreements, DPAs) in compliance with Art. 28 GDPR.

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to adapt it to changing legal situations, or in the event of changes to the service or data processing. We encourage you to review this privacy policy periodically.
