$ 3 PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA WHEN USING OUR MOBILE APP

(1) When you download the mobile app, the required information is transferred to the app store, i.e. in particular the play store user name, e-mail address and customer number of your account, time of download, payment information and the individual device identification number. In addition, the app store still independently collects various data and provides you with analysis results. We have no influence on this data processing and are not responsible for it. We process the data only insofar as it is necessary for downloading the mobile app to your mobile device.

 

(2) When you use the mobile app, we process the personal data described below to enable convenient use of the functions. If you want to use our mobile app, we process the following data, which are technically necessary for us to offer you the functions of our mobile app and to ensure the stability and security, so that they must be processed by us. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of the request (page visited)
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Previously visited page
  • Web component
  • Operating system
  • Language and version of the app.

 

(3) Furthermore, we require the unique identifier of your device to provide the services of push notifications, if these are enabled.

 

(4) User Data

In order to be able to use the app, you will need a Learning Suite account from your app provider. The login data and password are stored on the mobile device; they will be deleted when logging in with another user account. Your app provider accepts no liability in the case of access by unauthorised parties, improper storage or the loss of the device. This particularly applies when you download learning content from Learning Suite onto the device. We do not require or make use of the personal data stored on the device, other than content stored through the app itself. We require access to other data stored on your device in order to allow you to upload files to the LMS via the application, such as video and photo attachments to On-the-Job Training. We will store your LMS user information on the device for as long as you have the app installed. For ease of use, we will keep your preferences saved even if you log out. All user-related data will be wiped if a different user logs in. We will store the files that you download until you request to have them removed, or until a different user logs in to the app on your device.

 

(5) Synchronisation and Download

Upon login, we will synchronise your learning content with the LMS system, bringing over content details. Downloaded learning content is stored on your device and it can be removed later within the application, or by emptying the application cache in the app settings. It is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient memory space before downloading learning content. Downloading learning content may incur additional costs and therefore it is recommended that you use a fixed wireless network (wireless LAN) for large volumes of data.

 

(6) Permissions

Camera

We require access to your device's Camera in order to allow you to update your LMS user profile. This action can only be performed on demand.

 

Gallery

We also require access to your photo Gallery in order to support updating your profile picture with existing pictures. This action can only be performed on demand.

 

Calendar

We require access to your Calendar in order to record your appointments. This action can only be performed on demand.
