Privacy Policy for the BB Data Protection App

BEITEN BURKHARDT is well aware that the protection of your privacy when using our BB Data Protection App is very important to you. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data that you disclose when using the BB Data Protection App:

I. Responsible body, data protection officer

1. BEITEN BURKHARDT Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, Ganghoferstraße 33, 80339 Munich, Germany, phone: +49 89 35065-0, e-mail: bblaw-muenchen@bblaw.com (in the following referred to as "BEITEN BURKHARDT" or "we") is responsible for all personal data collected, processed or used in the BB Data Protection App. Please direct all inquiries in connection with the use of your personal data with regards to the BB Data Protection App to BEITEN BURKHARDT as the responsible body.

2. Lawyer Mathias Zimmer-Goertz, Cecilienallee 7, 40474 Dusseldorf, Germany, phone: +49 211 518989-129, e-mail: Mathias.Zimmer-Goertz@bblaw.com, is the data protection officer of BEITEN BURKHARDT.

II. Use of the App

1. Using the BB Data Protection App is generally possible without prior registration and without specification of any personal data. Insofar as you provide us with personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail address) via phone or email when using or after having used the BB Data Protection App, this is always done on a voluntary basis.

By submitting your personal data, you agree to the collection, processing and using of this data for the purpose recognisably associated with the data entry. You may withdraw such prior consent at any time with effect for the future. You can direct your withdrawal to BEITEN BURKHARDT Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, Ganghoferstraße 33, 80339 Munich, Germany, in writing or to bblaw-muenchen@bblaw.com via e-mail.

We exclusively collect, process and use your personal data to process your inquiry (e.g. arranging appointments, sending out information material, subscribing to our newsletter etc.) and always comply with the applicable data protection regulations.

2. All personal data is kept strictly confidential and is only accessible to authorised personnel committed to data confidentiality. This data will also not be disclosed to any third party without your express consent, unless we are obliged to so by law or court decision.

3. As soon as the purpose of the collection, storing and using of your personal data becomes obsolete, we will immediately delete such data insofar as there are no conflicting legitimate reasons in the meaning of the applicable statutory provisions. In this case, the data will be blocked instead of deleted.

4. The BB Data Protection App uses push messages to keep you up to date with the latest news. In case you prefer not to use this functionality, you can switch off push notifications in your operating system's settings for the BB Data Protection App at any time.

III. Data security

1. We have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to particularly protect your personal data against unauthorized access, unlawful destruction, unauthorized changes and unauthorized disclosure.

2. However, we further point out in this context that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) is regularly carried out unsecured and may therefore be subject to security gaps; as a consequence, a third party may gain knowledge of the data and the data may also be corrupted.

IV. Use of "Google Analytics for Firebase"

1. For the purpose of statistical analysis, the BB Data Protection App uses Google Analytics for Firebase, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics for Firebase collects and processes data on your usage of the App which, together with your iOS Identifier (identification data ("ID") for mobile devices), facilitates an analysis of the use of the App by you. The information about your use of the BB Data Protection App will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information on our account to evaluate your use of the App, create reports on App activities, in particular to provide anonymised crashlogs and statistics on the use and functionalities of the App. Google will not associate your iOS Identifier transmitted by your mobile Apple device as part of Google Analytics for Firebase with any other data held by Google.

2. You may prevent the collection and transmission of the data related to your usage of the App (including your iOS Identifier) to Google as well as the processing of such data by Google by disagreeing to the use of Google Analytics for Firebase when starting the App by declaring your express "opt-out".

3. The use of the iOS Identifiers by Google Analytics for Firebase also includes the so-called "Advertising Identifier for iOS" that facilitates targeted ads for the user. However, we do not use the data for advertising purposes; this purpose is also not intended by us. Above that, it is also possible that Google Analytics for Firebase uses cookies to gain information about you as user of the App and to use such information in the anonymised statistics. We will not be provided with personal data about you and your specific user behaviour with regards to the App by Google Analytics for Firebase.

4. You will find further information on terms of use and data protection when using Google Analytics for Firebase under https://firebase.google.com/terms/analytics/ and https://firebase.google.com/policies/analytics/.

V. Data subject's rights

You are entitled at any time and on request to receive written or electronic notification of your personal data stored by us without further costs. Above that, you are entitled to correction of inaccurate data as well as blocking and deletion of your personal data. The information request as well as the demand for correction, blocking and deletion of personal data shall be directed to BEITEN BURKHARDT Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, Ganghoferstraße 33, 80339 Munich, Germany, in writing or to bblaw-muenchen@bblaw.com via e-mail.
