To provide our services via the App, we need the permissions listed below. These allow us to access certain functions of your device. We cannot access these data unless you have given your explicit consent (opt-in). You may grant these permissions in the course of installation. Thus, these data are processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Access to your storage
Reason: The contents you selected in the App will be saved on your device, which is why the App requires access to your media storage. It is not possible to access the media storage of your device unless you have given your consent. Thus, the access occurs on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Access to your location
Reason: The contents you selected in the app access the location of your device, which is why the app requires access to your location if you have given your consent. This permission is required to access the exact location of the user’s device. In order to be able to offer location-based services, the app may collect, use and share the user’s location data. The user’s geographical location is determined in a discontinuous manner. This means that it is impossible for the app to identify the user’s exact location on a continuous basis.
It is not possible to access your location unless you have given your consent. Thus, the access occurs on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. a GDPR).
This consent may be revoked at any time. Proceed as follows.
