In the following, we provide information about the collection and, if necessary, further processing (storage etc.) of personal data in accordance with Art. 13 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Responsible according to art. 4 no. 7 GDPR is Jens Reinstädt, Forster Straße 5, 81539 Munich, +49 151 56 354 831, info@my-wordz.com.
In the following, we inform you in which cases we collect personal data and for which purposes. In principle, there is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data; however, within the scope of the contractual relationship it may be necessary to process certain data for the purpose of providing our services or due to legal obligations (e.g. tax regulations).
If you use the website for informational purposes only, we collect the personal data that your browser sends to our server. If you would like to view our website, we collect the following data on the basis of legitimate interests, which are technically necessary for us to display our website and to ensure its stability and security.
IP address, date and time of the request, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), content of the request (specific page), access status/HTTP status code, amount of data transferred in each case, website from which the request originates, browser, operating system and its interface, language and version of the browser software.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests). The data is stored in log files, a consolidation with other data does not occur. The data is regularly deleted after one month at the latest.
2.1 Using functions on your mobile device
In order to provide the services of our application, it gets access to the microphone of your terminal device. Access to photos, media and other files is also requested. The access is exclusively for the purpose of using the application. Without the provision of access, the application cannot run properly.
2.2 Data processing and storage
For the provision of the services of the my-wordz application, various services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, and, if applicable, its subsidiaries, are used. The development platform for mobile and web applications Firebase is used. The following APIs from Google are used: Cloud Translation API, Compute Engine API, Cloud Speech-to-Text API, Token Service API, Identity Toolkit API, Cloud Natural Language API, Cloud Functions API. The data storage is on servers in the USA. You can find Google’s privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Furthermore, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, 70 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland, and Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA, are used for transliteration purposes. Data processing in the USA cannot be excluded in this respect. You can find Microsoft’s privacy policy here: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) or Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (fulfilment of contractual obligations). With regard to the transmission of data outside the EU/EEA, reference is made to Art. 49 (1)(a) (express consent to the transmission of data) or Art. 49 (1)(b) GDPR (fulfilment of a contract between you and us).
We would like to point out that the European Court of Justice has declared the “Privacy Shield” agreement between the USA and the EU to be ineffective, which is why it must be clarified on a case-by-case basis whether a sufficient so-called “adequate level of data protection” prevails for the respective recipient of data in the USA. Google endeavors to ensure an adequate level of data protection by using so-called standard contract clauses. In all other respects, Google submits to the strict obligations of commissioned data processing.
By using our application, you expressly agree that your data may be transferred to the above-mentioned service companies for the purpose of providing our services, processed outside the EU/EEA and, if necessary, stored.
2.3 Registration and user account
You can log in to the application using your Google Account; in this case you do not need to provide us with any further information. It is also possible to log in using an e-mail address and a password; when registering, you will be asked to provide your name, e-mail address and a password.
Your account gives you access to the vocabulary you have created. In this respect, you can also continue to use your account on a new device.
For questions of any kind we offer you the possibility to contact us.
If you contact us via a contact form, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. Required information will be indicated accordingly in the input mask.
The processing of the personal data, which are transmitted in the context of the establishment of contact and provided by you in this respect, serves the fast establishment of contact and thus a brisk treatment of your inquiry. This enables us to provide a good customer service.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR or your consent, Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The personal data collected by us for contact inquiries will be deleted after the completion of your inquiry, unless legitimate interests require a longer storage (e.g. because of announced further inquiries etc.).
When using our website, cookies are stored on your computer. Cookies are small files that are stored on your hard drive in accordance with the browser you are using and through which certain information is transmitted to the site that sets the cookie (in this case by us). Cookies are used to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall.
We use cookies that are technically necessary for the operation of the website. The purpose is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to us by the user. Therefore, you as the user have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Already stored cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that not all functions of the website can be used to their full extent.
The session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website by the user is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there; Google Analytics is only used with your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Google will use this information on our behalf in order to evaluate the use of our website by the users, to compile reports on the activities within this website and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this website and the use of the Internet. The processed data can be used to create pseudonymous user profiles of the users.
We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Further information on the use of data by Google, setting and objection options, can be found in the Google privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
The users’ personal data will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.
We would like to point out that Google operates servers in the USA, so that it cannot be ruled out that data may also be transferred to the USA when using the “Google Analytics” service. After the European Court of Justice declared the “Privacy Shield” agreement to be ineffective, it is questionable whether a sufficient so-called “adequate level of data protection” prevails at Google in the USA. Google endeavours to ensure an adequate level of data protection by using so-called standard contractual clauses. In addition, there is an agreement on order processing which we have concluded with Google. If you agree to the use of Google Analytics, you also expressly consent to the possible transfer of your data to the USA (Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR).
On our website we have integrated components from Youtube, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The videos are embedded in Youtube’s enhanced privacy mode, which blocks the setting of Youtube cookies until an active click is made to play them. By clicking on the play button, you give your consent to Youtube setting cookies on the device you use, which can also be used to analyze usage behavior for market research and marketing purposes.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can find more information on the use of cookies by YouTube in the cookie policy of Google at https://policies.google.com/technologies/types?hl=de. You can also find further information on this at http://www.youtube.com/t/privacy_guidelines and under the data protection regulations published by YouTube, which can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. These provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Google.
Beyond the cases mentioned in this privacy policy, we will only process your data if:
– you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR,
– this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR,
– there is a legal obligation to process the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR (in particular tax and commercial law obligations to store and transmit data), and
– the processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, in particular the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (e.g. transfer to courts, debt collection, lawyers), unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, outweigh the protection of personal data.
Recipients of the data may also be service providers on whose services we depend for the provision of our services (e.g. technical service providers for the maintenance of the software and IT landscape) and for the fulfilment of our contractual obligations.
Unless otherwise stated in this declaration, personal data will be deleted immediately after the purpose for which it was collected has ceased to exist and provided that there are no retention periods (e.g. 10 years retention period due to tax regulations with regard to all data relevant to the tax case or 6 years retention period due to commercial law and professional regulations) or e.g. limitation periods of data that may be useful for legal prosecution.
You have the right of access to your personal data, if necessary correction or deletion, if necessary restriction of processing, objection to processing (see in more detail below) as well as data transferability.
You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority.
You have the right to revoke a declaration of consent under data protection law at any time with effect for the future.
Right of objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR: If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data with effect for the future pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR if there are reasons for doing so that arise from your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case you have a general right of objection, which will be implemented by us without specifying a special situation.
If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply send us an e-mail.
By default, e-mail communication with us is not encrypted. If you write us an unencrypted e-mail or make an inquiry and ask for a reply by regular e-mail, we will initially assume that you agree to unencrypted communication. Should you wish to have encrypted communication, please let us know.
We use the visitor action pixels from Facebook Inc (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”) on our website. This allows user behavior to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which is why we are informing you, based on our knowledge of the situation. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy https: //www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. The legal basis for the use of this service is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads by contacting the following address: https: //www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
We guarantee the adequacy of data transfer to the third country USA through the agreement of EU standard contractual clauses.
