Privacy policy
Effective date March 15th, 2017
It’s highly important to us to keep your data safe. With this in mind, we promise to always adhere to current data privacy laws. In the following sections we will inform you about the information we collect from your use of our apps and services and how we process it. We ensure you to only use and process app data as explained in these terms.
Attribution through device-ID
In order to make possible a highly anonymized usage of our product it is not necessary to register on our platform. Our app only requests access permissions that are absolutely necessary for the correct functioning of our app. Apart from the permission to access your location, which will be explained further down in greater detail, your smartphone needs to send us your device-ID. This device-ID we use to attribute the received data to a particular smartphone. This device-ID does absolutely not give us access to data stored on your phone or other personal data.
Anonymized location data
For us to be able to provide you with our services you need to grant the app access to your current location. At regular intervals we receive your current position from the location services of your phone. Only for the duration of your usage of our app we register status data about your trip. These encompass your current location and your speed value, driving direction and time. Summed up these data are called “FCD (floating car data)”. Never do we compile user profiles based on your status data.
These status data are compiled in a database in an anonymized form only. Based on this database we can offer our services and optimize them to your benefit.
In case we authorize service providers to help us offer our services and optimize them, they are instructed to adhere to our data privacy policies.
