3 Collection of personal data when using our mobile app

Your download may require prior registration with the respective App Store and installation of the App Store software. We have no influence on the collection, processing and use of personal data in connection with your registration and the provision of downloads in the respective App Store and the App Store software. The operator of the respective App Store is solely responsible for this. Please contact the respective app store provider directly for information.

(2) When downloading the mobile app, the required information is transferred to the App Store, i.e. in particular the user name, e-mail address and customer number of your account, time of download, payment information and the individual device ID number. We have no influence on this data collection and are not responsible for it. We process the data only to the extent necessary for downloading the mobile app to your mobile device. There is no duty to provide the data but without it you are not able download the app. The processing of the data is mandatory for the use of the app. There is therefore no possibility of objection on the part of the user if they wish to use this offer. The user is free to uninstall the app at any time, but they will then no longer be able to access the content in this way.

(3) When using the mobile app, we collect the personal data described below to enable convenient use of the functions. If you want to use our mobile app, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to offer you the functions of our mobile app and to ensure stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR):

(6) No special authorizations or permissions are required to use the app. Only network access is required, since the app’s content is only visible in online mode. The app is built upon the Expo SDK which has the possibility and available functionality to enable permissions or features like camera usage, photo album and GPS, but we don’t actually use it in the app and therefore don’t request permissions for it.

(7) Push Notifications are offered to send useful information and recipes to users. The app will request optional permission to send push notifications. If permission is denied, the app can still be used without notifications. You can revoke the function in the settings of the app or your operating system at any time.

4 Data deletion and storage duration

We process your personal data as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose or as long as there is a legal obligation to keep records. For this purpose, we carry out a review of the data towards the end of each year. A requirement may exist in particular if the data is still needed to fulfil contractual services. If there is no need for further processing or if there is no longer a legal obligation to retain the data, the data will be deleted unless you have consented to further processing. In this case you have the right to revoke your consent at any time.
