This app uses Google Analytics for Firebase App Tracking, an analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics for Firebase App Tracking uses “ID’s”, which are identifier generated and saved on your device, to help us analyze how the app is being used across users. The information about your use of the app (including your IP address) which is generated by the ID will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA.
Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the app, compiling reports on your activity in the app and other services relating to app activity and internet usage to us. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
You may refuse the logging of the information about your use of the app (including your IP Address) generated by the ID of Google Analytics for Firebase App Tracking by selecting “disable Google Analytics for Firebase” in the settings of the app. Henceforth, any further tracking will be stopped as you will have „opted-out“ by selecting the disable setting. However, please note that this applies only to this version of the app. In other apps tracking still might be activated.
In this app the IP anonymization is activated.
