Privacy Policy

for software products created by Garzotto GmbH

General Policy

Thanks for using one or more of our apps. This privacy policy applies to those apps and related Web pages unless there is a more specific policy included within the app or the place from where you download the app.

For all apps this privacy policy applies to, there are the following general rules we respect:

  • Our apps don't collect any data that is not needed by the app for doing what it is meant for.
  • Our apps do not send any information to any server, unless that information is required by the server to fulfill its purpose.
  • We do not pass on any information that our apps or servers gather, unless this is fully transparent to the user.

Location Services

Some of our apps are able to track the user's location. In these apps, it is either completely obvious why the user location is needed (such as showing the current position on a map) or the app explicitly explains the user why it is needed and requests explicit permission.

Location data is solely used within the app and never leaves it, unless the user explicitly shares a location or a track with somebody else, or the user is asked explicitly for each sharing event (such as sharing the location where a tick did bite anonymously with a server that collects statistical data).

Personal Information

Our apps never ask for personal information such as name or age, unless it is required for the specific purpose of the app. Such information never leaves the app, unless the user explicitly shares it by using sharing functions (Mastodon, Facebook, SMS, etc.), or the user is asked explicitly for each sharing event.

Photos, Audio, And Movies

Some of our apps are able to take pictures, to record audio, or to record a movie. In all these cases, it is either obvious why this is done and/or the user is asked for permission explicitly. Such recorded data never leaves the app, unless the user explicitly shares it by using sharing functions (Mastodon, Facebook, SMS, etc.), or the user is asked explicitly for each sharing event.

Access to user data

Some of our apps may require access to user data such as contacts or the photo library. In all these cases, it is either obvious why this is done and/or the user is asked for permission explicitly. User data never leaves the app, unless the user explicitly shares it by using sharing functions (Mastodon, Facebook, SMS, etc.), or the user is asked explicitly for each sharing event.
