Data Forwarding
Your personal data is forwarded to third parties without your explicit prior permission only in the following cases, besides others mentioned in this Privacy Policy:
Security Measures for Data Protection
We are committed to protecting your privacy and treating your personal data confidentially. Your data is stored in our databases, accessible only to us and specifically trained data protection employees.
If we engage third-party service providers to process your data on our behalf to provide web services, we ensure they adhere to the strict conditions of this Privacy Policy and that no data use beyond its scope occurs. All contractors, service providers, and their employees are subject to our instructions and are legally bound to observe and be trained in protecting your data.
To prevent data loss or misuse, we implement comprehensive technical and organizational safety measures that are regularly reviewed and updated to match technological progress. We particularly employ modern encryption techniques and various measures to prevent unauthorized third-party information access as far as within our influence.
However, due to the internet's structure, we caution that data protection regulations and the aforementioned security measures by other persons or institutions outside our responsibility may not be observed. Data transmitted unencrypted, even via email, can potentially be read by third parties. We lack technical control over this, and thus, protecting data against misuse by encryption or other methods is the user's responsibility.
Data Storage Abroad
We consistently uphold the strict data protection standards legally binding in the European Union. In some cases, especially for technical reasons, your data entrusted to us might be stored on servers outside your country (including outside the European Union) where you initially entered your data. In such cases and where there's a risk that countries receiving your data do not have data protection law as stringent as your home country or the country from which you use our services, we ensure your data is handled according to this Privacy Policy's provisions.
Data Processing by Processors
We partially rely on third-party suppliers (processors) to operate our services. Your data must be transferred to these entities to perform their services. We have entered processing agreements with these processors under Art. 28 GDPR, and they implement strict data protection authority requirements when using your data. We ensure all third-party service providers assisting in our service provision comply with data protection law through this agreement and strict controls, ensuring your data is treated according to our instructions and not disclosed to third parties. Additionally, we implement further measures to protect and safeguard your data. Data processing outside the EEA only occurs if the service provider guarantees compliance with European data protection law requirements. In the event of a data breach, we will promptly notify the relevant authorities and affected individuals in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including the GDPR.
Our service providers (processors) and their purposes include:
Data essential for analytical purposes is stored on Google Firebase servers, which may be located in various global regions, including the European Union. We entrust specific data processing tasks to Google Firebase, adhering to Art. 28 of the GDPR. This involves utilizing standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in countries outside of the European Union, in line with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. This arrangement ensures that Google Firebase processes data exclusively based on our instructions and complies with the strict data protection regulations of the European Union. Additional information is available here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32010D0087&from=EN.
For more details, see Google Firebase's privacy policy at: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy/.
Data crucial for analytics and marketing purposes is hosted on AppsFlyer servers, potentially located in various regions including the European Union. We allocate specific data processing responsibilities to AppsFlyer, in compliance with Art. 28 of the GDPR. This includes the use of standard contractual clauses for transferring personal data to processors situated in third countries, as outlined in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. This ensures that AppsFlyer processes data strictly in accordance with our directives and adheres to the rigorous data protection standards of the European Union. More information can be found here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32010D0087&from=EN.

Right to object
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is carried out based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller shall no longer process your personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent until the revocation.

Your personal data will no longer be processed, subject to permission by another legal basis.
