Cookies are small text files which, for example, make it possible to recognise the end device without establishing a concrete personal reference. If the storage of cookies by the service provider is not desired, it is requested that the browser be set so that it deletes cookies, blocks all or certain cookies or issues a warning before cookies are stored. Please note that such settings may impair the functionality of the service provided by the service provider. Further functions of the cookies used by us can be found in section 5.
3. Automatically collected, non-personal data:
By using our app, our web server stores the name of your internet service provider as well as the date and duration of your use by default.
In addition, the service provider uses Google Mobile Analytics and Fabric to collect further non-personal data, such as for click flow analysis. This does not place any cookies on your end device or create a personal reference.
The service provider uses this information to improve the services and functions of the app. No personal data is collected by Blaulicht as a result.
4. Collection, processing, use and forwarding of personal data:

We collect the following data for this purpose: Your full name, your e-mail address, your telephone number and your function within the organisation.
Furthermore, our app can determine the location of the users, provided they enable such a function, in order to be able to show the organisation to which the user belongs as its member exactly where the emergency forces or the persons prepared for deployment are located.
4.2 The personal data collected from you will only be processed for the purpose of fulfilling the contract (providing a communication tool for the purpose of transmitting/sending messages/information). Any further use or disclosure of your data will only take place with your consent. After complete processing of the contractual relationship, the user data will only be stored for as long as is necessary due to retention periods under tax and company law. After expiry of these periods, the data will be deleted or anonymised unless you have expressly consented to its further or other use.
4.3 Insofar as you as an organisation provide us with data of your members, we draw your attention to the fact that it is your responsibility to obtain their consent to forward the data to us. With the transfer of the data, you simultaneously assure that you have obtained the consent of the person concerned.
4.4 Personal data will only be collected from or transferred to state institutions and authorities within the framework of mandatory national legal provisions.
4.5 Furthermore, your data will be forwarded to these categories of companies for the purpose of processing the contractual relationship:

Your personal data will not be forwarded to a country outside the EU or the EEA (so-called third countries).
4.6 Via the app, direct communication takes place between the user’s terminal device and the servers of the service provider. This communication is encrypted by https.
4.7 The decision as to whether we enter into a contract with you is based on a manual review of your documents, there is no automated decision making (profiling).
4.8 The employees and subcontractors of the service provider have been contractually obliged to maintain confidentiality and observe data secrecy.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de_ALL/about/analytics/ (“Google”). The use is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. By using the service provider’s website, the user consents to the processing of data collected about him/her by Google for the use of Google Analytics.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the page previously visited), host name of the accessing computer (IP address) or time of server request are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google is a participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield, which prescribes minimum standards for the protection of personal data of Europeans whose data is stored or processed in the USA.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We have also added the code “anonymizeIP” to Google Analytics on this website. This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

6. Dispatch of text messages:
The service provider also provides an SMS service through which the organisation can send messages to its members and vice versa. The organisation is informed by SMS if a member is not reachable (offline) at the time of a notification attempt made via the app or SMS.
When using the SMS service, the telephone number of the sender and the recipient as well as the time of sending and receiving are recorded. This data is not stored by the service provider for longer than is requested by the users, is necessary for the processing of the selected service or the service provider has a legal obligation to do so.
7. Data security:
To protect customers’ data from unauthorised access and misuse, the service provider has implemented extensive technical and organisational security measures.
