3. Permissions on your device

The app requests only the following permissions. Each of them can be revoked at any time in your device settings; the app remains usable afterwards, with reduced functionality.

Camera — Read receipts, business cards and barcodes, photos, distance and light measurement. Without permission you can enter everything by hand.
Location (while using the app) — Optional: record trip distance, compass, altitude.
Microphone — Optional, only for the sound level tool; nothing is recorded.
Motion and fitness (iPhone) — Optional: altimeter (barometer).
Notifications — Optional: local time-clock reminders (progress, break, daily target). They are scheduled on the device, not sent by a server.
Photos (add only; storage access on Android 9 and older) — Optional: save an annotated photo to your library.

4. Legal bases

We process personal data under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP). Where the GDPR applies, we rely on:

Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — everything needed for the app to deliver the function you requested.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — secure and stable operation, abuse prevention, troubleshooting.
Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for anything you actively enable in this app: access to camera, location, microphone and motion sensors (each optional; processed on the device). Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future by revoking the permission in your system settings.
Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) — in particular commercial and tax retention duties for payments.

5. Recipients and third parties

No disclosure. This app does not transmit any data to us or to third parties. No analytics, advertising or tracking components are embedded.

6. Retention and deletion

We store nothing because we run no server for this app. All content lives on your device and is deleted when you delete it in the app, choose “Delete all data” in Settings, or remove the app. On iPhone: if you use Apple’s device backup (iCloud or computer), the app data is part of your own backup; we have no access to it. On Android the app does not take part in cloud backup. Please observe your own legal retention duties for business records and export them in good time.

Step-by-step instructions are available at Delete data.

7. Children and young people

This app is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we learn that such data has been submitted without parental consent, we delete it without delay.

8. Data security

Wherever the app transmits data at all, connections are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. On the server side we use access restrictions, tenant separation and regular backups. Nobody can, however, guarantee absolute security for data transmission over the internet.

9. Your rights

Access to the personal data we process
Rectification of inaccurate data
Erasure or destruction of your data
Restriction of and objection to processing
Receiving or porting your data in a common format
Withdrawal of consent with effect for the future
