• Possibly anonymized location data for ad personalization

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (consent and legitimate interest of Google/us for advertising). You can disable personalized ads through the Google settings on your device.

5. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Our app uses Google AdMob, an advertising service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. AdMob is used to display advertisements within the app. Information about the use of the app as well as device information (e.g., device ID, IP address, operating system, approximate location information, and interactions with ads) may be processed. This data may be used by Google to provide personalized or non-personalized advertisements. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Data processing is carried out based on your consent, provided that this consent is requested via the corresponding consent banner.

Further information about Google's data processing can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

You can disable personalized advertising in your device settings:
Android: Settings > Google > Ads > "Opt out of Ads Personalization"
iOS: Settings > Privacy > Tracking

6. Data Sharing

Data processed in connection with AdMob advertising may be transferred to Google in the United States. The transfer takes place based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). No further transfer of personal data takes place.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Aside from AdMob, the app does not use cookies, web tracking technologies, or comparable methods.

8. Push Notifications

The app does not send push notifications.

9. Data Transfer to Third Countries

Personal data is transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA only in the context of AdMob, as described above.

10. Data Retention

All data stored locally on your device remains there until you uninstall the app or delete the data. Data processed for AdMob is subject to Google's data retention policies.

11. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

12. Your Data Protection Rights

If personal data is processed, you have the following rights in particular:
