Our app requires the following permissions:
INTERNET (retrieve data from the internet/access to all networks):
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (Exact location): This allows the current position to be displayed on the map. You can deactivate this in the settings menu.
WAKE_LOCK (Disable Sleep): Needed to process and display incoming push notifications, when enabled.
VIBRATE (control vibration alert): Needed to vibrate for push notifications, when enabled.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE (Get network connections): Needed to access the network state (online/offline).
BILLING (Google Pay and Apple Pay billing service): Used to process the sale of the paid version.
BIND_GET_INSTALL_SERVICE (Play Install API): Used for statistical purposes.
In our app, you have the option to disclose your general and your current location.
The use of location data (e.g. displaying the current position or centring the map) is usually done on your mobile device. Only the functionality of receiving location alerts for the current position requires the transmission of a coarsened location information to our server infrastructure. The location alerts only use an accuracy of 35*50 km. Therefore, there is no way to infer their current position.
Enabling the location option in the app settings will result in the app being allowed access to your location information.
You can activate or deactivate the functionality of receiving location alerts separately. You can deactivate the respective app's access to your location at any time in the corresponding settings.
The app also uses push services of the operating system manufacturers. These are short messages that are shown on the user's display with the user's consent and with which the user is actively informed about your trip.
In the case of the use of push services, a device token from Apple or a registration ID from Google is assigned. The sole purpose of their use by us is to provide the Push Services. These are only encrypted, anonymised device IDs. Intuiguide cannot draw any conclusions about the individual user.
You can decide during the installation of the app whether you want to use this functionality. To disable the push messages at a later date, you can use the unsubscribe option in the Intuiguide app. You can find this in the settings menu.
The collection and processing of device-specific information is carried out for the purpose of processing contractual relationships with you or if and insofar as this is necessary to protect our interests or those of third parties. This may include, in particular, the transfer to hosting or cloud computing providers for the purpose of optimising the services and increasing usability and user-friendliness. Disclosed data may only be used by third parties for the aforementioned purposes.
Anonymised usage data is evaluated for the secure operation and further development of the Intuiguide app. However, this data cannot be linked to your identity. We have no way of assigning this data to you personally and do not combine this data with other data sources.
The information generated about the use of the Intuiguide app is transmitted with an anonymised IP address to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP anonymisation function in Analytics sets the last octet of IPv4 user IP addresses and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses in memory to zero. This means that the user's exact IP address is not stored
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Intuiguide app in order to compile reports on activity for the app operators. Google may also transfer this information to third parties.
This usage data forms the basis for statistical, anonymous evaluations, so that trends can be identified, which can be used to improve the offer accordingly.
The integration is based on your express consent and It is done in order to make our app more user-friendly and interesting. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.
We use MapBox API, a service of MapBox. We use MapBox to visually display geographical information. When using MapBox, MapBox also collects, processes and uses data about your use of the map functions.
When you call up one of our services in which the MapBox service is integrated, MapBox stores a cookie on your end device via your Internet browser.

This data is processed for the purpose of displaying the maps or ensuring the functionality of the MapBox service.
