Privacy Policy

Data protection and the privacy of each user is very important to KickStat Limited (hereinafter referred to as “KickStat”). The collection and use of your personal data takes place exclusively within the framework of the statutory provisions of applicable data protection laws. With this data privacy policy, KickStat is providing information concerning the processing of personal data in the mobile applications (hereinafter referred to jointly as “KickStat Apps” or simply “Apps”). 

 

1. Point of contact 

The point of contact and so-called responsible body for the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data under data protection laws is: 

KickStat Limited

Kildare 

Ireland 

Should you have any questions relating to data protection, you can get in touch with our company’s data protection officer at any time. The data protection officer can be contacted at the postal address above, as well as by email at Info@kickstat.co . The data protection officer is also available should you have any queries concerning the transfer of data to third countries and can provide copies or guarantees in the form of standard data protection clauses. Should you have any general concerns or queries. 

 

1. Area of applicability 

This data privacy policy applies to all KickStat apps with all content, functions and services, even if these only contain seasonal, short term or event related services within the operating systems which are offered (iOS and Android). 

 

1. Processing of personal data 

Personal data will be processed before and during the downloading and installation of the apps. 

Personal data is information relating to factual or personal relationships of a defined or definable natural person. Above all, this includes information which allows your identity to be traced, for example name, address or email address. 

Statistical data which we collect during a visit to our apps for example and which cannot be connected to you does not come under the definition of personal data. Rather this is so-called anonymous data. 

 

Processing when downloading and installing the apps 

In order to be able to download and install our apps from an app store (for example Google Play Store or Apple App Store), you need to register first with the provider of the app store for a user account and finalise a corresponding use contract with the provider of the app store. We have no control over this, in particular we are not party to such a use contract. When downloading and installing the apps, the necessary information in this respect will be transferred to the respective app store, in particular your username, email address and customer number of your account, the time of the download and the individual device number. We have no control over this data collecting and are not responsible for this. We only process this data which has been provided should this be necessary for downloading and installing the app on your mobile end device (e.g. smartphone or tablet).  

 

Processing when using the apps 

In order to use the apps, the apps generate a number which is specific to the device when opened for the first time. This number cannot be assigned to a specific affected person (pseudonym). In addition, in order to technically display the named content, the operating system used (for example, Android or iOS), the hostname of the accessing device (IP address) and the time of the server request are processed. 

Due to the way the Internet functions, the brief saving of the IP address is technically necessary. The IP addresses are deleted or anonymised after the processing. In case of anonymisation, the IP addresses are changed in such a way that the affected person cannot be identified or can no longer be identified. On the basis of the anonymised IP address, a location search will be carried out. For reasons connected to data protection, this only takes place on the geographical level of the country from where the access is taking place. By means of this, it is not possible to trace the concrete location or place of residence of a user. If you have consented to specific advertising technologies, these may have more specific localisation services in place. 

The data in technical protocols (so-called log files) are evaluated by us in anonymised form in order to continually improve our apps and make them more user friendly, as well as in order to find and correct errors more quickly. 

The data processing is necessary so that you can find out about the content of our apps. The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 f) GDPR, based on our interest in informing users of our content. The processing of the named data is necessary in order to provide the content. Otherwise, it is not possible for you to use the apps as requested. 

Data processing as part of submitting feedback or signing up as a beta tester 

If you use the “Suggest improvements, Report a bug, or Become a beta tester ” feature on the apps or website, only your email address, IP address and the information you provided will be processed. 

The legal basis for the processing operations described above is Article 6 Paragraph 1 f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in improving our product and being accessible for our users. 

 

Data processing as part of competitions 

Competitions solely organised by KickStat 

The data required for you to participate in the contest will be collected and stored by KickStat. This data will be used for the following purposes: To execute the contest, to notify prize winners, and to clarify the shipping address for your prize. Unless otherwise stated, all data collected will be deleted after the conclusion of the contest. 

1. Disclosure of personal data 

In principle, KickStat does not pass your personal data on to third parties. The data collected by us is only passed on to third parties, if this is necessary to provide the technical functionality of the apps or another legal basis for the disclosure of data exists. Personal data may only be used by our service providers in order to fulfil their tasks. These were carefully selected by us and engaged in writing. They are subject to our instructions and are regularly monitored by us. Other use of the information is not permitted and is not carried out by any of the service providers used by us. 

Alongside the service providers listed separately in this data privacy policy, data may be disclosed to individual categories of recipients, i.e. to companies in order to support promotions and special campaigns, as well as to external advisors and enforcement authorities. 

 

1. Storage of personal data 

KickStat is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. We have validated that all 3rd party vendors that we use internally are GDPR compliant. 

Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for. 

 

1. Permissions 

For certain functions, the apps need to be able to access certain services and data of your device. Depending on which mobile operating system you use, this may require you to express agreement to the accessing. Below, we will explain to you – in separate terms according to the mobile operating systems for which we offer the app – what authorisations the apps requests and what these are necessary for. 

 

iOS 

Push notifications: Should you click OK in the request “Enable push notifications” , you are permitting the apps to inform you of certain events and topics by means of push notification, even if the apps are not currently open. The notifications can take place by means of sounds, reports and/or symbol letter (a picture of a number on the app icon). Further information concerning push notifications and your configuration options can be found under number 6a). 

Background updating: This function enables the apps to download data in the background and to update this, even if the apps are not currently open or are not being actively used. 

Mobile data: This function enables the apps to download and update data outside of a WLAN network via mobile data connections (for example GSM, UMTS or LTE). 

 

Android 

Apart from the standard entitlements for the operation of Android apps (such as the receipt of internet access or the option of letting the device vibrate; also called “normal entitlements” by Google), we do not request any further entitlements. 

Using data which is saved on an external storage device: This function allows the app to save content on the storage card of your device. This is necessary in order to be able to provide content, for example relating to your favourite team, even if no Internet connection is currently present. For this purpose, the apps only use their own saved content. Other data on the storage card is neither deleted, altered or read. 

 

1. Analysis 

In order to improve our apps, we use various technologies to analyse the usage behaviour and to evaluate the associated data. These procedures take place anonymously or on the basis of pseudonyms, however never in a directly personal way. Below, we wish to explain these technologies and the providers used for this purpose in more detail. For this purpose, we use so-called number pixels with which we create statistics. 

The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 f) GDPR, based on the legitimate interest of KickStat in improving our products. 

We use different Firebase Services, including Cloud Messaging, Remote Config, A/B Testing, Performance Monitoring, Crashlytics, Predictions and App Distribution (services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).  

Those services help us to optimise our product, spot and fix issues and make sure that all APIs work properly. 

The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in analysing usage behaviour in order to improve and further develop the apps.
