The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the choices you make and the products and features you use. If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored in order to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent. Further, the personal information we collect may include the following:
Personal information provided by you. We collect names; phone numbers; email addresses; usernames; passwords; contact or authentication data; and other similar information.

Information automatically collected
In Short: Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our Services.
Server-Log-Files. By using our Services we automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits. These are:
- Browser type and browser version

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. A merge of this data with other data sources will not be done. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively, if we become aware of specific indications for illegal use.
Information collected through our App
If you use our App, we also collect the following information:

We automatically collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model and manufacturer), operating system, version information and system configuration information, device and application identification numbers, browser type and version, hardware model Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, and Internet Protocol (IP) address (or proxy server).

This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our App, for troubleshooting and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
- Geolocation. We request access to your location for enabling the App to scan and connect to a wearable device. Furthermore, we request access to your location at all times while the App is in the background so that the App can resume connectivity to the wearable device should it be disconnected without your intervention. At the same time, you can cancel this permission at any time via the related function settings on your device.
- Wearable Device Information. We collect wearable device information (such as your wearable device ID, model and manufacturer) and firmware version.
