According to Article 4 GDPR, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; a natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier or one or more specific characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person, is considered identifiable.

As a user of our App, you have various rights under the GDPR, in particular arising from Art. 15 to 18, 20, 21, 77 GDPR:
You can request information about your personal data processed by us. In your request for information, you should specify your concern and verify yourself sufficiently to make it easier for us to compile the necessary data.
If the information concerning you is (no longer) accurate, you may request that it be corrected. If your data is incomplete, you can request that it be completed.
You can demand the deletion of your personal data under the provisions of Art. 17 GDPR. Your right to deletion depends, among other things, on whether the data concerning you is covered by a right of retention or is still required by us to fulfill our legal obligations.
You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of the data concerning you. This applies in particular if we process your data out of a legitimate interest. However, we cannot always comply with this, e.g. if we are obliged to archive the data for auditing purposes in accordance with the provisions of tax law. In this case, however, the data will be blocked for further use and deleted at the end of the statutory retention period.
If you have given us permission to process your data, you have the right to revoke this permission at any time. This does not affect the legality of the processing based on the consent until the processing is revoked.

We process data of you when you:
When using our App, the following access data is stored:
the username and user ID provided by Steam (Valve Corporation) as well as your flyingshapes user ID
the date, time and duration of use of the App,
a usage evaluation (which components of the applications are used and how often)
For reasons of data security, i.e. to clarify unauthorized access or prevent misuse of the application, the complete IP address of your computer is recorded, stored and automatically deleted 90 days after the end of access.
If you would like to use our App, we collect the above-mentioned access data - which is technically indispensable for us - in order to be able to offer you our App and to guarantee the improvement of stability, functionality and security for both sides, so that this data is collected on the basis of a justified interest on both sides (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR). This data will not be passed on to third parties.
The data collected as part of inquiries (e.g. by e-mail) will be stored for a period of 90 days, unless we have a statutory right or an obligation to retain such data.
All deadlines begin at the end of the month in which the processing of the inquiry is completed.
In all other respects, the duration of the storage of personal data is measured on the basis of the statutory rights and obligations of retention (e.g. from commercial or tax law). After expiration of the deadline, the data will be deleted at the end of the month, unless they are necessary for the initiation, execution and termination of a contract and / or no legitimate interest on our part in the processing exists.
To enable us to constantly improve the flyingshapes software and to make it more user-friendly, as well as for the purpose of scientific research on the software, the flyingshapes software automatically evaluates the telemetry and usage data in relation to your user ID when using the software. For example, this makes it is easier to see which functions are used, when and where crashes occur and where work processes are interrupted. Altogether, this information serves the purpose of technical improvement on the basis of the data collected or the target groups. It is not our aim to observe individual users during the personal evaluation. Rather, this evaluation serves us to continuously improve the software technically, to optimize the user experience and the workflow, and to send automated, personalized recommendations for software usage in the event of difficulties in specific usage scenarios.
This evaluation is stored on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR for the continuous improvement of the flyingshapes software and to enable user-friendly handling, technical optimization and for research purposes with the possibility of conducting individual interviews based on personal user experience.

As a rule, personal data which you communicate to us about your person will only be processed by us. In order to fulfill our tasks and obligations, however, it may be necessary for us to disclose your stored personal data to natural persons and legal entities, authorities, institutions or other bodies. In particular, the following categories of recipient has to be considered:
Courts (e.g. in litigation proceedings)
Non-public sector bodies, provided that they are contract processors
Lawyers, tax consultants, notaries, auditors
This App uses SSL or TLS encryption for data security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us. Such encryption means that the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
GDPR and other laws oblige us to be able to prove that we have received consent where required by law.
A protocol is drawn up for the purpose of proving consent in accordance with the legal requirements, such as GDPR and the German Unfair Competition Act. The data provided, the time of registration and confirmation and the IP address are stored.
The protocol of the consents is made to fulfill our statutory obligations to prove the existence of a consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR and in addition on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to be able to provide evidence regarding your consent.
We store the protocol including the data for 3 years after the revocation of your consent. The period shall begin at the end of the year in which consent is withdrawn and the protocol shall be deleted by 31 December of the third year. This serves to be able to prove a previously given consent. A processing of the data takes place only in the context of a necessary evidence of your consent. We would also be happy to comply with your request for early deletion if you confirm your previous consent in writing with your name and e-mail address at the same time.
The data controller must provide the contact details of his or her data protection officer, who may be appointed in accordance with Art. 37 GDPR.
According to the requirements of Art. 37 GDPR, we are currently not obliged to appoint a data protection officer.
Changes in the legal situation or laws may make it necessary to amend this information. We will inform you in the event of a change.
