Services from third parties when using the application

 

A. General information

 

In providing our application, we use technologies and services. We then provide you – as a user of our application – with additional information about data processing through the use of technologies and services.

 

I. What are technologies and services?

 

Technologies and services may be used to determine whether there has already been communication from your end device to our application. Only the technology or service on your end device is recognized. Personal data may, for example, be stored in the technologies and services if this is technically absolutely necessary, e.g. to enable a secure connection.

 

Technologies and services may for example be small text files that a web server or application can store and read on your terminal equipment (computer, smartphone or similar) that you use. The technologies and services contain individual, alphanumeric character strings that allow identification of the web browser you are using and may also contain information about user-specific settings.

 

The aforementioned technologies & services and other technologies are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Technologies”.

 

II. What kinds of technologies are there?

 

We distinguish between basic technologies on the one hand and optional technologies on the other:

 

Core technologies are those that are technically necessary for the functionality and to ensure the security and stability of our application and information technology systems. We also assign to this category those technologies that store certain settings you have made, selected options or information you have entered until you close your application (at the latest), in order to provide the desired functionality you have requested (e.g. status connection, language setting, etc.). Your consent is not required to store or read core technologies. Therefore, you cannot manage core technologies through the settings of the consent management service we use;

Optional technologies are those that are not necessary for the functionality or to ensure the security and stability of our application and information technology systems, but are used for analytical or marketing purposes. These technologies can, for example, be used to gather anonymous statistics and collect information about how our application is used, which enables us to analyze the use of our application and thereby optimize it. We also assign to this category those technologies that store certain settings you have made, selected options or information you have entered. these remain after you close your application to provide the desired functionality you have requested (e.g. login status by selecting "Remember my email address", wish list, comparison list, etc.) for a longer period of time. Storing or reading optional technologies generally requires your prior consent. You can consent to the use of optional technologies and withdraw any consent you have granted at any time with future effect through the settings of the consent management service we use.

Both essential and optional technologies can be so-called "session technologies" or "persistent technologies", which differ in their intended lifetime or operational lifetime:

 

Session technologies are stored on your terminal equipment and are automatically deleted when you close your application.

Permanent service information is stored on your terminal equipment and is not automatically deleted when you close your application, but remains on your terminal equipment for a predetermined period of time.

Google Firebase Crashlytics

We have integrated Google Firebase Crashlytics into the Smart HR for crash analysis and debugging. The report serves the stability and improvement of the application. Information is collected about the device used and the use of the Smart HR application (eg timestamp, when the application was started and when the error occurred), which enables us to diagnose and resolve problems. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is the article. 6 para. 1 liter f) DSGVO. Data is stored anonymously. This personal data is not merged with your other profile information.

 

Please note that the required technologies are already stored when you access our application and the relevant framework is pre-selected. It is not possible to deselect the required technologies through the consent management service. The functionality of the consent management service itself requires the use of certain technologies.

Google (Firebase) Analytics

Subject to your consent, we use app analytics technologies to analyze the use of our app so that we can continuously improve it. The anonymous user statistics collected (eg number and origin of app visitors) enable us to optimize our app and improve its design – such as placing information or topics in our app in the appropriate location to meet demand .

 

For application analysis we use “Google (Firebase) Analytics”, an application analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter collectively "Google"), with the extension "IP anonymization" (also called "IP masking method"). For this purpose, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Google in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. Google will accordingly process the collected data (data about your terminal equipment or web browser, IP addresses and your application or application activities) on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating the use of our application,

 

Data collected using Google (Firebase) Analytics may be stored and processed in the USA or any other country in which Google or Google's sub-processors maintain facilities. The IP masking method we use ensures that before the IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there, it is shortened within EU member states or other EEA member states, so that the entire IP address is not transferred, preventing or significantly complicating the identification of an individual. Only in exceptional cases will the complete, i.e. the entire IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and only shortened there. To transfer data to a third country, i.e. a country outside the EU or EEA, appropriate safeguards are generally required to protect your personal data. After Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 of 12 July 2016 on the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-US Privacy Shield was declared invalid by the European Court of Justice, the Privacy Shield EU-US can no longer be used to guarantee an adequate level of protection in the US according to EU standards. Consequently, there is currently no level of data protection in the US equivalent to that prevailing in the EU under Article 45 GDPR and no we can provide appropriate safeguards under Article 46 GDPR to compensate for this shortcoming. Hence, the transfer of data to the USA is only permitted here with your express consent in accordance with Article 49 para. 1 point GDPR. Possible risks of this data transfer are that access by government authorities, such as security and/or intelligence services, cannot be blocked and your data could be processed by them – possibly without you being informed separately and without having executed rights and effective legal remedies available to you – for national security, law enforcement or other purposes in the US public interest.

Data transfer to third countries

The transfer of data to entities in countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (so-called third countries) or to international organizations is only permitted (1) if you have given us your consent or (2) if the European Commission has decided that there is adequate level of protection in a third country (Article 45 GDPR). If the Commission has not taken such a decision, we may only transfer your data to recipients located in a third country if appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g. standard data protection clauses approved by the Commission or the supervisory authority under a special procedure) and the enforcement of Your rights as a data subject are guaranteed or the transfer is permitted in individual cases on other legal bases (Article 49 GDPR).

 

Where we transfer your data to third countries, we will inform you of the relevant details of the transfer in the relevant sections of this data privacy policy.

 

Data storage and deletion period

We process your data, provided that this is necessary for the respective purpose, if you have not materially objected to the processing of your data or materially withdraw any consent you may have given.

If there are statutory retention obligations, we must store the data affected by them for the duration of the retention obligation. After the retention obligation has expired, we will check whether there is a need for further processing. If there is no longer a need, your data will be deleted.

 

Data Security

We use technical and organizational security measures to ensure that your data is protected from loss, inappropriate changes or unauthorized access by third parties. Furthermore, we ensure that, on our part, access to your data is provided only to authorized persons and then only to the extent required for the aforementioned purposes. All data transfer is encrypted.
