Handling of personal data

In the following we wish to provide you with information on how we handle your personal data when you use our App. Unless otherwise indicated in the following chapters, the legal basis for the handling of your personal data results from the fact that such handling is required to make available the functionalities of the App as requested by you (processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract).

Using our App

In order to make available to you the services of our App, it will transfer the following data to us, every time you use our App:

IP address
Date and time of access
Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Operating system information
Status of access/HTTP status code
Transferred volume of data
Language settings, version of app
Log-in credentials (username and password)

To protect our legitimate interests, we will store such data for a limited period of time in order to be able to initiate a tracking of personal data in the event of actual or attempted unauthorized access to our servers (processing is based on our legitimate interests).

You will be able to use each functionality of the App 3 times without the need to create an account. In order to be able to use our App fully, you will need to create an account, where you are able to determine your personal login credentials that you need to use to log into our App. For this registration and subsequent login procedure, we collect the following information about you:

Access to your device’s interfaces

In order for our App to function properly, we need to access and use the following interfaces of your mobile device for the following purposes:

Interface

Purpose

Camera

To enable you to make photos of pests which subsequently are sent to us for analyzes.

Library

To access your photos.

Location

For the weather forecast function to be able to show you the forecast for your actual location. However, we only collect obfuscated geolocations from you, meaning that before your geolocation is sent to us, the last digits of your exact location are deleted. We send weather forecast information applicable to the whole obfuscated area you are located in. Your device then uses your exact location to pick out the forecast applicable to your exact location.

App Analytics

On our App we use Google Analytics, an analytics service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

Google will analyze your use of our App on our behalf in order for us to be able to better understand how you use this App, which enables us to improve this App according to our customers’ interests. The information collected by Google in connection with your use of our App (e.g. content of our App visited by you, your language settings, your operating system, your screen resolution, etc.) will be transmitted to a server of Google in the US, where it will be stored and analyzed. The respective results will then be made available to us in anonymized form. Your usage data will not be connected to your full IP address during this process. We have activated on our App the IP anonymizing function offered by Google, which will delete the last 8 digits (type IPv4) or the last 80 bits (type IPv6) of your IP address. Moreover, Google is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield, which ensures that an adequate level of data protection is maintained with respect to the processing of data by Google in the US.

Further information on Google Analytics is available in the Google Analytics Terms of Use, the Privacy and Data Protection Guidelines of Google Analytics and in the Google Privacy Policy.

We only analyze your use of this App, if we have obtained your prior consent upon your first access to our App or if you make use of the switch above to turn app analytics on or off. You may revoke your consent at any time by using the same switch above.

External services and content in our App

We include third-party services and/or content on our App. When you use such third-party services or when third-party content is displayed, communication data are exchanged between you and the respective provider for technical reasons.

The respective provider of the services or content may also process your data for own additional purposes. To the best of our knowledge, we have configured the services and content of providers known to process data for own purposes in such a way that either any communication for other purposes than to present their services or content on our App is blocked, or communication only takes place once you have actively opted to use the respective service. However, since we have no control over data collected and processed by third parties, we are not in a position to provide binding information regarding the scope and purpose of such processing of your data.

For further information regarding the scope and purpose of such collection and processing of your data, please consult the privacy statements of the providers whose services and/or content we include and who are responsible for the protection of your data in this context:
