privacy policy
Introduction
As provider of this App, I am obligated to inform you about the purpose, scope and type of collecting personal information. The following lines will give you an overview of which data this app is collecting, how it is processed and how it is used. Please contact me in case you have any questions concerning this privacy policy.
Which data is used?
Camera
For the basic functionality of this app - the recognition of bird cards from the boardgame Wingspan - it is necessary to have permission to use the camera of your smartphone. The card recognition is completely based on OCR (optical character recognition). Therefore the video stream of your camera is used to find text in each frame. The OCR is happening entirely on your smartphone. No photo or video is recorded and saved by the app.
Text which is recognized, is saved temporarily and checked against a local database of keywords. After this process every text fragment will be deleted.
Crash reports
To improve user experience in the future, the app is collecting the following data in case of unexpected crash:
OS version
App version
Language setting of your smartphone
Country
Smartphone model
Provider
Crash report (stack trace)
In case of an app crash, no additional logs will be collected, stored or sent. All of the mentioned data cannot be used to track down you or your device. So no personal data is collected. The information listed above is collected via the tool App Center from Microsoft (https://appcenter.ms/).
Analyse
Furthermore some non-personal data is collected by the app for statistical purpose. For example the name of the bird of a successfully scanned bird card or some details if a birds audio file is not available. In case of such an event, the following information will be collected:
OS version
App version
Language setting of your smartphone
Country
time of app usage (session length)
The information listed above is collected via the tool App Center from Microsoft (https://appcenter.ms/).
E-Mail
In case you send me an e-mail, you can see by yourself inside your e-mail provider which personal information you are about to send me. I will use your e-mail and all the containing information only for the purpose of answering your question or feedback. Afterwards I will permanently delete your e-mail and all the containing information. My email provider is gmail from Google (https://mail.google.com/).
