Privacy Policy for False Friends en/de

Introduction

We value your privacy which is why we want to let you choose your privacy settings and inform you how we use/process/store your data and which third party services we use. On first start of the app you can set privacy-related settings and you can change them later in the app settings.

False friends are words that are spelled or pronounced the same or similarly in two languages. False friends is a free dictionary and quiz that specializes in these words.

Permissions

In this section, we list which privacy-relevant permissions the app requires and what they are used for.

User data

In this section, we list the services, APIs and servers that we use for False Friends en/de. We also disclose which data we send to the respective services.

Usage evaluation

By recording anonymous usage data (referred to as "analytics"), the usage behavior of users can be evaluated and, for example, the user interface or structure of the app can be improved. In addition, recording technical data, such as the time it takes for the app to start, can help developers to improve the performance of the app.

Advertisements

IDs

IDs are identification numbers (e.g. ADID, FCM ID or other UUIDs) that could theoretically make it possible to assign data, actions or similar to individual users.

This app does not send any IDs (e.g. ADID, FCM ID or other UUIDs) to the Internet.

Exceptions are IP addresses when a server is contacted. This is necessary for the Internet to function. At the appropriate point in this privacy policy, we describe which Internet services or servers are contacted are contacted and therefore receive your IP address.

In-app purchases are not carried out directly by the app, but are processed via the app store. The app only gives the order to the app store to make a purchase locally on the device. The app itself therefore does not send any IDs or credit card details to the app store when a purchase is made. This is the responsibility of the app store, which is why the app store's privacy policy must be consulted.

General Informarion

IP-Addresses

Please note that when contacting a server, your IP address will be sent to that server. This is inevitable, because that's how the internet works.Therefore, the web services this app uses will receive your IP address. The relevant services are listed in this privacy policy.Your IP address can be used by your internet provider to determine your identity. IP addresses are therefore required to execute the server request and send it back to your device. The time of access to the server may also be stored together with the IP address in server log files for technical diagnostic purposes. This can be found in the privacy policies of the respective services.

E-Mail

You can contact us anytime via . Of course, if you send us an email, we will receive your email address. Our email server is located in Linz, Austria and hosted by World4You. After we have successfully processed your request(s) you sent us via email, we will delete your emails within one month. We will not use your email address to sent you promotional or other unwanted messages and we will not hand out your email address to unauthorized third parties.

Links to external websites

In our app we link to external websites. We are not responsible for the content and privacy of these external websites. Therefore, please check the privacy policies of these external websites when you visit them.

Data security

To ensure that our mickbitsoftware user accounts and thus the data of our app users are secure, we use secure passwords and 2-factor authentication with Google, Firebase, Amazon and our hosting provider. We use a secure connection (https) for any data connection that transmits user data.

EU Servers

The hosting provider for the mickbitsoftware.com email addresses and the website and services of mickbitsoftware.com is World4You, based in Linz, Austria. World4You is therefore a data processor and subject to the GDPR.

Data processing in non-EU countries

For the Firebase services and Google Play services, Google LLC is data processor. For Amazon-Services, Amazon.com Inc. is data processor. Google LLC and Amazon are based in the USA and process data there. The European Court of Justice has not certified the USA as having an adequate level of data protection. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be accessed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes and that no effective legal remedies are available. Google and Amazon obligate themselves to be subject to GDPR. However, since the termination of the "Privacy Shield" agreement between EU and USA, due to US laws, it cannot be guaranteed that all privacy related rights of EU citizens can be enforced. For example, Google or Amazon could be forced by the US government to hand out user data, and therefore the US government could get a copy of data from EU citizens. In this case, enforcement of rights EU citizens have due to GDPR, may be difficult or even impossible (e.g. erasure or correction of inaccurate personal data). Wherever possible, we have chosen EU locations for the used servers, but not all Google or Amazon services allow such a server location selection. Therefore, it is possible that certain data might be transmitted to Google servers in the USA. Note: The "Cloud Act" obliges American Internet companies and IT service providers to guarantee US authorities (and also the secret services) access to stored data even if it is not stored in the USA. When using services by Google or Amazon (and therefore also by using this app) you deliberately take that risk.

Your rights

According to GDPR you have the right to:

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection claims have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority.
