We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal regulations. In this declaration, we inform you in accordance with Art 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) about how we, as the person responsible for data protection, process your personal data in connection with this app.

1. Which data we process about you

In the course of your use of our app, we will collect the following information: the date and time you access the App, your IP address, system data on the device and operating system used, your telephone number and the information you provide us with in the App as a user and/or customer. When you log in to your universities via our App, the registration data is stored in a secure area locally on your device. You can delete this data yourself by logging out of the university in the app or uninstalling the app.

2. Cookies and browser data

A cookie is a small text file that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. Generally, cookies are used to provide users with additional functions on a website. For example, they can be used to make it easier for you to navigate a website, to allow you to continue to use a website where you left it and/or to save your preferences and settings when you return to the website. Cookies cannot access, read or modify any other data on your device.

The App is a browser, and accordingly web pages available on the Internet or closed intranet networks can be accessed. On the respective pages, the data protection conditions of the respective page called up apply, which can process and store cookies, interactions and browser data.

3. App usage analysis tool "adjust"

For evaluating the advertising of the app, we use a framework from Adjust GmbH, Saarbrücker Str. 37a, 10405 Berlin, Germany. In doing so, the "Advertising Identifier" ("IDFA", for iOS) or the "Advertising ID" (for Android) is used. These are unique, but non-personalized and non-permanent identification numbers for a specific end device, which are provided by iOS or Android. On our behalf, Adjust GmbH will use the "Advertising Identifier" or the "Advertising ID" to perform an evaluation of the advertising.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose of their processing. You can delete the "Advertising Identifier" or the "Advertising ID" at any time in the device settings ("Reset Ad ID"). A new identifier will then be created, which cannot be merged with the previously collected data.
