On this page we inform you about the privacy policy of the LEDVANCE SMART + WiFi App for Android and iOS ("App"). The App is offered by LEDVANCE GmbH, Parkring 29 - 33, 85748 Garching near Munich, Germany ("LEDVANCE GmbH", "we" or "us").
The app is used for technical control of SMART+ devices and provides direct technical support for users. Multi-user access is enabled.
The processing of personal data takes the form of creating a user account. The data is also stored for user support. The following personal data may be collected:
The following data is processed when the app is started:
Information about the type and version of the app
Time zone of the device
The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your device automatically transmits when you use the app. The stored information is:
Third parties do not have access to server log files. This data is not merged with other data sources.
The processing of personal data allows the users of the App to have technical control of SMART+ devices and direct contact for technical support.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in the context of the creation and use of a user account is the consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
The processing of technical data serves to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company in providing a functional application for users and is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR as the legal basis for the processing.
The personal data will be stored until the account is deleted, exclusively for the above-mentioned purpose. With the deletion of the account by the user all data will be removed.
The user is given the opportunity to object to the processing by e-mail request. By deleting the account all data will be removed.
Each time our app is accessed, our system automatically collects data and relevant information from the computer system of the calling device.
language settings, time zone, app-version
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary for the delivery of the app to the device of the user. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be kept for the duration of the session.
The storage in logfiles is done to ensure the functionality of the app. The data is also used to optimise the app and to ensure the security of our IT systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. The session is complete when the collection of data for the provision of the app is accomplished.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is not possible.
The collection of data for the provision of the app as well as the storage of data in log files are essential for the operation of the app. Therefore, the user may not object to the aforementioned processes.
Our app uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or the internet browser on the user’s device. If a user calls up the app, a cookie can be stored on the user’s operation system. These cookies contain a string of characters that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the app is reopened.
We use cookies to make our app more user-friendly. Some elements of our app require the calling browser to be identified even after a page break.
The purpose of using technical cookies is to simplify the use of app for users. Some functions of our app cannot be offered without the use of cookies. These require that the device is recognised even after a page change.
