2. Purpose
The WetterOnline Meteorological Services GmbH takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We would therefore like to inform you whether and which of your data we collect, process and use. Our commitment to this is based on the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The privacy policy for the use of our app (Weather & Radar app) is listed below.
3. Personal data
Personal data are any data that contain information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable customer. This includes, for example, your name, home address, gender, date of birth, age, telephone number, email address, or IP address. This list is not exhaustive and is only intended to illustrate what can be considered personal data.
4. Which of your data do we collect, process or use?
4.1 Collection and use of location data
In our apps, you have the ability to retrieve weather information for your location. To do this, location services must be enabled on your mobile operating system. Once they are enabled and you launch one of the aforementioned apps for the first time, the app will ask you to allow access to your location information. When you confirm, the app is granted access to your location information. You can revoke the app's access to your location at any time in the settings of your mobile device. If you allow the app access to your location data, your mobile device will transmit your location within the cell you are in to us. If your mobile device has a GPS receiver, that location data will also be transmitted to us. The location data is rounded to 0.01°, so we do not gain knowledge of your exact location.
4.2 Paid version
The purchase of the respective Pro version allows you to use our apps free of ads. In the event of the purchase of a Pro version, we will only store a device-specific ID and the date of purchase.
4.3 In-App-Purchases
An in-app purchase allows you to use our apps free of ads. In the event of an in-app purchase, we will only store a device-specific ID, the date of purchase and the expiry date.
5. Which of your data is collected, processed or used by third parties
5.1 Collection, processing and use of data with Firebase Crashlytics
Our application uses the service of Firebase Crashlytics, a tool from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"), to analyse app crashes in order to improve the stability of the app.
As part of the use of our app, we use the Firebase SDK (Software Development Kit) to collect information about the app version, device model, operating system version, and other usage data. This data is used to improve app stability and performance.
The crash reports are recorded completely anonymously. There is no storage of identification features such as user IDs or IP addresses.
The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimisation and stabilisation of our app in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. To prevent the collection and processing of data by Firebase Crashlytics in this app, you can object below this privacy policy by deactivating the option "Send anonymous usage data".
5.2 Collection, processing, and use of data when using Batch
Our application uses the service of Batch for sending push messages. The provider is IMEDIAPP SA (batch.com), 43 rue Beaubourg, 75003 Paris, France.
The processing of personal data is based on your consent (Art.6 para.1 lit. a GDPR) to send push messages or on our legitimate interests (Art.6 para.1 lit. f GDPR) in optimising our push messages. Batch receives the following from us for sending push messages
a pseudonymised user ID,
your IP address,
a push token,
the status about the decision whether you want to receive notifications,
browser and operating system information,
geo-based information, and
information about the version of Batch used, messages sent, and usage behaviour.
Batch accesses the browser's LocalStorage. At the same time, we use tools from Batch to record the use of the various functions of the app to provide you with a targeted offer via push notifications.
We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Batch, in which we oblige Batch to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties, and to comply with the requirements of the DSGVO.

5.3 Collection, processing, and usage of data when using Contentful
Parts of the contents of our apps are provided through the Contentful Content Delivery Network (CDN) of Contentful GmbH (Ritterstr. 12-14, 10969 Berlin). Accessing these contents establishes a connection to servers of Contentful GmbH. The use of the Contentful CDN is based on our legitimate interests under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Your IP address and information about the used browser will only be processed by the Contentful CDN for the aforementioned purposes and to maintain functionality and security. The storage duration of the processed data and further information can be found in the privacy policy of Contentful GmbH at https://www.contentful.com/legal/privacy-at-contentful/privacy-notice/.
5.4 Collection, processing, and use of data during on demand media and live stream playback
The app provides streaming content via the partners Akamai Technologies GmbH (Parkring 20 - 22, D-85748 Garching, Germany) and THEO Technologies NV (1B Kolonel Begaultlaan, 3rd floor Leuven 3012, Belgium). When a page is called up on which playback devices for streams are offered, information about your browser and your IP address, with which you visit our page, is transmitted to the servers of the above-mentioned providers.
The use of the Akamai CDN and THEO Technologies NV streaming service is based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
