2. What This App Does Not Do

The app transmits no personal data to external servers. There are no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no cloud storage, no AI services, and no social media integrations.

3. Local Storage

The app stores the following preferences locally on your device via UserDefaults:

• Appearance mode (light/dark/system)
• Selected app language
• Consent flags (Terms accepted, Privacy accepted, version)

This data is not transmitted and contains no personal information. Legal basis: §25(2)(1) TDDDG — technically necessary storage that does not require consent.

4. Device Permissions

Camera and Photo Library

Used for OCR text recognition. Processing is performed exclusively by Apple's Vision framework locally on your device. Neither images nor OCR results are transmitted by the app's own code.

Microphone (Speech Input)

Used for speech-to-text dictation. Speech recognition is provided by Apple's SFSpeechRecognizer. The app's own code does not transmit audio data. Apple may establish a connection to its own servers for processing purposes; this is governed by Apple's own privacy terms (see section 5). If you prefer fully local processing, you may deny the microphone permission and enter text manually.

5. Note on Apple System Frameworks

This app uses Apple system capabilities, in particular Apple Vision and Apple Speech. We can speak only for the code we have written ourselves: it transmits no data. Processing carried out by Apple within its own frameworks and infrastructure is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy:

6. No Cookies or Tracking

The app does not use cookies, fingerprinting, or any tracking technologies.

7. Your Rights (Art. 15–21 GDPR)

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. Since the app does not collect personal data, these rights are inherently satisfied. For questions, contact: support@medienkommission.de

8. Supervisory Authority

The competent supervisory authority is the Hessischer Beauftragter für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit, Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1, 65189 Wiesbaden, Germany.

9. IONOS WebAnalytics (Website Only)

This website uses IONOS WebAnalytics, a server-side, cookieless analytics tool. IP addresses are pseudonymised before analysis, making identification of individuals impossible. No cookies are set. No user profiles are created. No consent banner is required (§25(2)(1) TDDDG). This processing applies to the website only, not to the app.

10. Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated if changes to the app or applicable law require it. The current version is available at this link and in the app under Settings.
