§ 3 Collection of personal data when using our app

(1) In order to download and install our apps from an App Store (e.g., Google Play Store, Apple App Store), you must first register with the provider of the App Store for a user account and have a corresponding user agreement to lock. We have no influence on this, we are not a party to such a license agreement. When downloading and installing the apps, the necessary information is transferred to the respective App Store, your username, your email address and the customer number of your account, the time of download and the individual device code. We have no influence on this data collection and are not responsible for it. We only process this provided data as far as necessary for downloading and installing the app on your mobile device (e.g., smartphone, tablet).

(2) The collection, monitoring, use and processing of any personal data by Influence-Plus takes place only with your consent. We obtain your consent prior to collecting your personal information. The personal information collected by us is what has been provided by you or provided to us in a lawful manner by third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Generally, we use your personal information for the primary purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. (Article 6 (1) (1) (a) DS-GVO).

(3) By registering and using our application, you give your consent to the processing of your personal data in accordance with legal or contractual provisions that we need for the provision of the full functionality of the app (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DS -GVO). Individual services of the app require your renewed approval in the app itself. If your personal data must be made available to us, it is a contractual and not a legal obligation. You are not required to provide us with your personal information; However, if you do not provide us with such personal information, revoke your consent, or request or otherwise oppose any limitation to the processing of your personal information, we may not grant you access to the full functionality of Influence-Plus or any other product or service.

(4) When using the app, we collect the personal data described below to enable convenient use of the features. If you wish to use our app, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to offer you the features of our app and to ensure the stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GMO):

IP address
Date and time of the request
Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Content of the request
Access Status / HTTP status code
Each transmitted amount of data
Operating system and its interface
Language and version of the software.

(5) Furthermore, we need your device identification such as and not limited to: unique mobile device identity (IMEI), unique number of the network subscriber (IMSI = International Mobile Subscriber Identity), mobile phone number (MSISDN), MAC address, name of your mobile device, and Email address.

(6) In order to use the basic functionalities, the app generates a user-specific code number the first time it is opened after installation. In addition, the used operating system (for example, Android), the host name of the accessing terminal (IP address) and the time of the server request are processed for the technical display of the contents mentioned.
As a minimum, the temporary storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the functionality of the Internet. The IP addresses are deleted or anonymized after processing. In the case of anonymization, the IP addresses are changed in such a way that the data subject cannot be identified or can no longer be identified. Based on the IP address, a location determination is performed. For privacy reasons, this only takes place up to the geographical level of the country from which the connection originated. Thus, no conclusion can be drawn on the specific location or place of residence of a user.
The data in technical format (so-called log files) are evaluated by us in anonymous form in order to further improve our application and make it more user-friendly and to find and fix errors faster.

(7) The registration can be made by email or via social media services, as shown below. Influence-Plus uses the “Facebook Sign In” (an offer from Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, Calif., 94025, USA) and “Google Sign In” (an offer from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). If personal data is transferred to the United States, the said providers have submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield. There is a link between the account at Influence-Plus and the account at Facebook or Google. From Facebook we store and process the information provided here, for example the email address, the URL of the profile picture, the name, the public profile and token. From Google, we store and process Google’s default permissions, which are Profile, JWT (tokens), and Google ID. We will send our app ID to both services. These advanced personalization features are optional, and you can always remove the connection with the social media services in the app. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the social media providers, as well as their rights and options to protect your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of Facebook and/or Google.
The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, based on the legitimate interest of Influence-Plus in providing extended functionality for a more personalized user experience. This is also the legal basis for the general processing when using the app with registration, based on the legitimate interest to establish synchronization capabilities between terminals and offer functions with social interaction options. If you do not want to log in, you cannot use the features described, but it is possible to use the app in principle.

(8) To use all functionalities of our application it is necessary to fill out your profile. The personalization contains the following information:

When you visit our Instagram page, Facebook, which also owns the Instagram service, places cookies on the device that you use (i.e., your computer or mobile device) for purposes of storing information in the web browsers for a period of up to two years unless deleted. Facebook receives the information stored in the cookies, records them and processes them. This happens not only when you access Facebook services such as our Instagram page, but also from services provided by other members of the Facebook group of companies, as well as services provided by other companies using Facebook services. Facebook partners and third parties also use cookies on Facebook services to provide services to Instagram or the companies promoting Instagram. The data is used by the Facebook Group and third parties for product research and development and advertising and sponsored content.

(5) YouTube account

(a) Our app uses YouTube's embedded feature to view and play videos from "YouTube". YouTube is part of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").
US-based Google LLC is certified to the US Privacy Shield, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection in the EU.
Here, we use the advanced data protection mode, which, according to information from YouTube, storage of user information only starts when the videos are playing. After starting playback of the YouTube videos embedded on our website, the provider uses cookies to gather information about your user behaviour.
According to information provided by "YouTube", this data is used, among other things, to create video statistics, to optimize user-friendliness and to prevent abusive actions. When you're logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account as soon as you click on a video. If you do not wish to be assigned to your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data, even for non-logged-in users, as usage profiles and evaluates them.

(b) legal basis

The legal basis for such an evaluation is article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR; legitimate interest is the interest of Google in the provision of personalized advertising, market research and the needs-based design of its website.

Against the creation of these user profiles, you have a right to object to which you must comply with YouTube. Regardless of playback of the embedded video, every time you visit this website, it will connect to the Google Network "DoubleClick", which may trigger further data processing without our app causing any impact. Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at:

https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

Please note that you can always ask us to stop processing your data for these direct marketing purposes by changing the corresponding settings within the app.

§ 5 Use of analysis services

To improve our apps, we use different technologies to analyse usage behaviour and evaluate related data.

(1) Google Analytics

(a) Influence-Plus uses “Google Analytics” for Offered Services, an analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043 USA (“Google”). Google Analytics app uses so-called “IDs”, identifiers that are generated and stored on your device and that allow an analysis of the use of the app by you. The information generated by the ID about your use of this app is usually transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. Please note that IP anonymization has been activated in this app. Google truncates your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this app, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the app, to compile reports on the app’s activities, and to provide other services related to app usage and internet usage to the app operator.
The use of Google Analytics takes place for the further development and optimization of the app offer. The data processing takes place in this respect based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DS-GVO.
The data transmitted to Google as part of Google Analytics may be aggregated by Google with other data stored on Google about you. For more information, see http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.

(b) We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our app. With the statistics we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For exceptional cases where personal information is transferred to the US, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GMO.

(c) Third Party Information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001. Terms of Use: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html, Privacy Policy:http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, and the Privacy Policy: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy.

(2) Use of Firebase

(a) Our apps use Google Firebase technology (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, “Google”). Firebase is part of Google Cloud Platform and offers many services to developers. A list can be found here:https://firebase.google.com/terms/. Some Firebase services process personal information. In most cases, the personal data is limited to so-called “Instance IDs” which are provided with a time stamp. Firebase’s “Instance IDs” are unique, allowing you to link different events or processes. These data do not represent personally identifiable information for us, nor do we want to personalize them later. We process this summarized data for the analysis and optimization of the usage behaviour, as for example by the evaluation of crash reports.
In addition to the “Instance ID” described above, Google also uses the advertising ID of the device for Firebase Analytics. In the device settings of your mobile device you can restrict the use of the advertising ID.
For Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Reset Advertising ID
For iOS: Settings > Privacy > Advertising > No Ad Tracking
Firebase Cloud Messaging is used to deliver push messages or so-called in-app messages (messages that are only displayed within the app). In this case, the terminal is assigned a pseudonymized push reference, which serves as the destination for the push messages or in-app messages.

We do not use Firebase services that use personally identifiable information, such as IP addresses, Email addresses, telephone numbers or passwords.

However, it cannot be ruled out that data will also be transmitted to the USA. Google has joined the EU-US Privacy Shield, a data protection agreement between the EU and the US. For more information on Google Firebase and privacy, visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ andhttps://firebase.google.com/.

(b) We also use Firebase services to analyse and regularly improve the use of our app. With the statistics we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For exceptional cases where personal information is transferred to the US, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GMO.

(3) AdMob / AdSense

(a) Most of our services are financed by advertising. To do so, we use the Google AdSense or Google AdMob advertising service, operated by Google LLC, located at 1600 Ampitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Google AdSense or Google AdMob uses cookies that allow us to analyse the use of our services. In addition, Google AdSense or Google AdMob uses so-called web beacons. These are invisible graphics, which allow to evaluate the traffic in our services and to the advertisers. The information generated by the cookie or web beacon about your use of our services and the delivery of the advertising formats are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This information may be shared by Google with contractors of Google. The information submitted through Google AdSense or Google AdMob will not be aggregated with any other information provided by Google.

(4) Right to object

For reasons that arise from your situation, you have the right at any time against the processing of your personal data, which is based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 e) of the GDPR or Art. 6 para. 1 p 1 f) DS-GVO takes an objection; this also applies to processing of personal data based on these provisions. We will then no longer process these personal data for these purposes, unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Such contradictions can be asserted against the person responsible.
If personal data is processed to operate direct mail, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of such personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to the processing of personal data in so far as it relates to such direct mail. You can explain your objection to our data protection officer.

§ 6 Final notes

(a) You can directly access and update some of your information in your account settings. If you’ve connected your Influence Plus account to a third-party application, such as Facebook, Firebase, or Google, you can change your settings and remove the app’s permissions by, for example, changing your account settings directly from Facebook. You are responsible for keeping your personal information up to date.
You have the right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information that concerns you (and that you cannot update yourself in your account settings).
(b) A data subject has the right to revoke his data protection declaration of consent at any time. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on consent until the revocation.
(c) Influence-Plus reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time in accordance with this provision. If we make changes to the privacy policy, we will post the amended privacy policy in the Influence-Plus app and update the “last update” date at the beginning of the privacy policy. In addition, we will notify you of the changes at least 30 days before the effective date. If you disagree with the amended Privacy Policy, you can terminate your Influence Plus account immediately and free of charge. If you do not terminate your Influence Plus Account prior to the date on which the amended Privacy Policy enters into force, your continued access to or use of the Influence Plus Platform will be subject to the revised Privacy Policy.
(d) Influence-Plus reserves the right to delete accounts including all associated data (e.g., if we cannot manually adjust data, or the persons behaviour is contrary to our Terms of Use, etc.)
