Usage of Cookies

We store cookies on your device so that the App works properly.

A cookie is a small text file that this App leaves on your tablet, or smartphone when you use it. With it, the App can track certain inputs and settings over a certain period. This allows us to store settings so that you do not have to make these again with every visit to our App and when navigating within the App.

So-called session cookies are used for logging into the App with your personal user account. Like standard cookies, session cookies are text files stored on your device and contain information about the App visited. An identification number, generated randomly by this App, is stored in a session cookie. This identification number is used to assign your personal account uniquely.

We only use these cookies to perform performance comparisons of our App, analyse the application usage, and provide additional components or services like the Google Maps component.

You can delete all cookies stored on your device to prevent the storage of cookies. Do not log into this application if you do not accept cookies.

Use of Scandit QR scanner

We use the Scandit QR Scanner component of Scandit AG, Hardturmstrasse 181, 8005 Zurich, Switzerland, in our application.

Use of the Scandit Scanner is in accordance with the Scandit conditions of use and the additional terms and conditions of business for Scandit AG; you can find these conditions under the following link.

https://www.scandit.com/privacy/

We do not transfer personal data to any Scandit server; we only transmit device identification numbers to identify and track licensees to enable the QR code scanner component. The data transmitted to Scandit servers as a third party is encrypted with a secure connection in transit.

Use of Google Maps

We use the Google Maps component of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, in our application.

This requires that the map service processes the IP address of the end device; otherwise, it cannot display the map view. We do not influence how the map service installed on the end device processes the IP address for this purpose.

Use of Google Maps is in accordance with the Google conditions of use and the additional terms and conditions of business for Google Maps

Disclosure of Personal Information

The personal information collected by the App will not be disclosed to any third parties without your consent, except in the following circumstances:

  • To comply with a valid legal request, such as a subpoena or court order
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of Planets Software GmbH, the App, or its users

Protection of Personal Information

Planets Software GmbH takes reasonable measures to protect the personal information collected by the App from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmitting or storing data is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.

Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it, including to comply with our legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Planets Software GmbH reserves the right to update this privacy policy at any time. Any changes to this policy will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the App will constitute your acceptance of the revised policy after such changes are posted.
