    Google Firebase

    In the Mobile App we use Firebase (https://www.firebase.com/ ), a framework maintained by the Google subsidiary Firebase residing in San Francisco, CA, USA, through which we track and administer the following real-time functions:

  • Tracking of user behaviour through Google Analytics (cp. para 2) for Firebase;
  • Tracking of app crashes and their reasons through Firebase Crashlytics (cp. para 3);
  • Push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging (cp. in para 4);
  • Configuration of app settings through Firebase Remote Config (cp. para 5);
  • Data storage in Firebase Cloud
  • Firebase’s privacy policy is available under https://www.firebase.com/terms/privacy-policy.html.


    The Mobile App uses the web analysis service Google Analytics that tracks your use of the Mobile App through cookies or a comparable technology. The information generated through your cookie or the comparable technology is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. As we anonymize IP addresses in the Mobile App, your IP address is shortened by Google within the European Union or in a member state of the Treaty on the European Economic Area, by way of exception (e.g. in case of technical failure of servers within the EU) is in full transmitted to Google servers in the USA and shortened there. We use the information prepared by Google to interpret your use of the Mobile App for its optimization and further development.


    We use Firebase Crashlytics to track app crashes as they occur, and to prevent future ones. In case of an app crash, a report is created that contains the type and OS of the device, your last activities in the app, and your geolocation in pseudonymous form, and that is sent to Google. Information on the functionality of Crashlytics is available under https://firebase.google.com/products/crashlytics/


    The Mobile App uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to send messages to its users. To do so, it sends a previously generated anonymous device ID (token) to Google so that we can identify app users and send messages to them. Information on the functionality of Cloud Messaging is available under https://firebase.google.com/products/cloud-messaging/


    The Mobile App uses Firebase Remote Config to allow us to alter the app on the devices it is installed on without you having to completely reinstall the app in the respective app store. To do so, your device information, your language and country and regional settings are transmitted to Google in the USA and processed there. Information on the functionality of Remote Config is available under https://firebase.google.com/products/remote-config/


    The legal basis for the use of Firebase is our legitimate interest in maintaining the Mobile App stable and evaluate its performance according to art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR. If you do not want the data categories mentioned in this section, you may not use the Mobile App.
