Privacy Policy for PlanTrainDoc

Effective Date: 01.12.2024
Last Updated: 01.12.2024

Introduction

PlanTrainDoc (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is developed and distributed by Tier Wohl Team GbR (“the Company”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how Tier Wohl Team GbR collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you use PlanTrainDoc. By using the app, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Who We Are

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Tier Wohl Team GbR is the data controller responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your personal data in relation to PlanTrainDoc.

Information We Collect

  1. Information You Provide to Us
    • Email Address: When you log in to the app, you are required to provide an email address. This information is securely stored in Amazon Cognito, a user authentication service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
    • Dog Training Data: Any training plans or other data you create and save in the app are securely stored in an Amazon DynamoDB database, a managed NoSQL database provided by AWS.
  2. Automatically Collected Information
    • Device Data: Information about your device, such as device type, operating system, and app version.
    • Usage Data: Logs of app features accessed, session durations, and other activity metrics.
    • Bluetooth and Location Data (Optional):
      • If you enable the use of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to connect to external devices, the app may request access to your device’s location.
      • Why is Location Permission Needed? Android requires location permissions to scan for and connect to BLE devices, as BLE signals can potentially be used to infer a user’s location. However, the app does not collect or store location data.
  3. Sensitive Data
    • The app does not collect sensitive personal information such as health data, financial data, or biometric data.

  4. Legal Obligation: To comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

As PlanTrainDoc uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) for data storage and authentication, your data may be processed outside the European Union. AWS adheres to the GDPR and implements safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure your data is protected. For more information, see the AWS GDPR Center.
