2.1 Scope of Processing Personal Data

Our app "Floating Rest Timer" is designed to function with minimal data processing. We collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional app. The collection and use of personal data only takes place with the user's consent or on a legal basis.

2.2 Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

2.3 Data Deletion and Storage Duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
