We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and want you to feel secure when using our app and products. Protecting your privacy when processing personal data is an important concern for us.
Information we collect:
As part of our business relationships, we collect and process personal data that we have received directly from you. In addition, we process personal data that we legitimately obtain from publicly accessible sources, or that is legitimately transmitted to us by other third parties; insofar as this data is necessary for the provision of relevant services, we provide to you and/or within the scope of the Purposes as set forth below.
Purposes of processing (“Purposes”) and legal basis:
Your personal data will be processed according to the provisions of the applicable law for the following purposes:
For the fulfillment of contractual obligations (Art. 6 Para. 1b GDPR): Personal data is processed in the context of trade with products and services in consumer electronics. Data processing purposes depend primarily on the specific product and its software applications. Further details on this data processing purpose can be found in the accompanying operating instructions, manuals, and other terms and conditions for the purchase of such specific products.
Within the framework of balancing interests (Art. 6 para. 1f GDPR): If necessary, we process your data beyond the actual performance of the contract to protect our legitimate interests of us. For the purpose of the assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes; the guarantee of IT security and the maintenance of our IT infrastructure and operation; the prevention and clarification of criminal offenses; and for business management purposes and the development of services and products.
Based on your consent, Art. 6 Par. 1a GDPR): If you consent to us processing personal data for specific purposes (e.g., forwarding data or evaluating data for marketing purposes), the legality of such processing is given based on your consent. The consent can be revoked in our app (Settings: Withdraw: Consent). The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the data processed until the revocation.
Due to legal requirements (Art. 6 para. 1c GDPR) or in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1e GDPR): This includes, for example, identity and age checks or the fulfillment of tax control and reporting obligations.

App permissions: To provide you with the app’s functionalities, the app must be able to access various functions and data of your mobile device. To do this, it is imperative that you grant the app-selected access authorizations. Otherwise, the app cannot be used for technical reasons. Before using the app for the first time, we will explicitly inform you of the rights you requested to access. Usually, the authorizations are as follows:
Location: This permission is required to determine your current location for location-based services. It allows your phone to access your GPS data, WLAN identifiers, and/or Bluetooth, depending on which of them you have enabled, to locate your location.
Push notifications: Push notifications are messages (e.g., WhatsApp) sent from the app to your device and prioritized there. This app uses push notifications on delivery, provided the user has consented to the app during the installation or the first use. The end-user must accept the enable notifications for the first-time installation. Also, the reception of push notifications can be deactivated at any time in the app’s settings.
Access smartphone contacts: This permission is required to show the caller’s name when the user receives a call notification.
User behavior: Within the framework of legal regulations, we, or companies commissioned by us, create user profiles, enter a name, or insert an Avatar in our App. Users can click “skip” to avoid providing this information. The profile data is not linked to any further information about the user.
Device information: In addition to protocol data, we may also collect information about the device on which the app is used. These include device type, operating system used, settings, unique identifiers, and crash data. Whether some or all of this information is collected depends on the type of device used and its settings. This allows error messages and system crashes to be analyzed to improve future operations. You can find out from https://www.gstatic.com/policies/privacy/pdf/20210701/7yn50xee/google_privacy_policy_en.pdf how the information is processed and protected.
We are distributing our App via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We have also incorporated Google Maps (for Android devices), Firebase Crashlytics, and Google Analytics into our app. GPS-related sports activities and Google Maps require Location Permissions. Firebase Crashlytics and Google Analytics collect crash data that are not linked to any of your identities. The purpose of using Google Maps is to provide the latitude and longitude information from our GPS Smartwatch and to our app; then, our App invokes Google Maps to display user activity trajectory on the app, a major function of our GPS Smartwatch. Google Analytics helps to measure and provides insight into our Watch App usage and user engagement. Analytics integrates across Firebase features and provides unlimited reporting for up to 500 distinct events that you can define using the Firebase SDK. Analytics reports help you understand users’ behavior, which enables them to optimize app performance. Using Firebase Crashlytics and Google Analytics to collect crash data is to help track, prioritize, and fix stability issues that erode our app quality. Crashlytics saves our troubleshooting time by intelligently grouping crashes and highlighting the circumstances that led to them: Find out if a particular crash impacts many users, get alerts when an issue suddenly increases in severity, and figure out which lines of code are causing crashes.
As a result, usage of our apps is also subject to the following privacy policies:
