Privacy Policy

This privacy policy provides information on how we collect, process, and use personal data in connection with our services. The privacy policy applies to the PolitPro mobile app and its websites.

This privacy policy was last updated on July 16, 2025.

Definitions:

The operators of these services take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.

The responsible party for data processing on this website is: Manuel Gutsche · Postfach 1107 · 90523 Wendelstein · DE · support@politpro.eu. The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Unless a more specific data retention period is stipulated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will be stored by us until the purpose for its processing is no longer valid. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent for data processing, your data will be erased, provided we have no other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (e.g., statutory retention periods for tax or commercial law purposes). In the latter scenario, deletion will occur once these reasons cease to apply.

Should you have provided consent for data processing, we process your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, particularly when special categories of data as defined by Art. 9 (1) GDPR are involved. In instances of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is additionally based on Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is required for compliance with a legal obligation, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also occur based on our legitimate interests as per Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Specific information regarding the applicable legal bases in each individual case will be detailed in the subsequent sections of this Privacy Policy.

In the course of our business operations, we collaborate with various external service providers and entities. This collaboration sometimes necessitates the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external entities when it is essential for contract fulfillment, when legally mandated (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in such disclosure as per Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or when another legal basis permits the data transfer. When engaging data processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data based on a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is established.

Many data processing operations are only permissible with your explicit consent. You have the right to withdraw any consent previously granted at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to your withdrawal of consent remains unaffected.

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT PURSUANT TO ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR ANY PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (2) GDPR).

In the event of GDPR infringements, data subjects are entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement. This right to complain is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

You have the right to receive the data we process automatically, based on your consent or for the performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to yourself or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For these inquiries and any further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following circumstances:

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – with the exception of storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

For security reasons and to safeguard the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website utilizes SSL/TLS encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection when the address bar of your browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the presence of a lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

When SSL/TLS encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be intercepted or read by third parties.

To use our services, an account is created on our servers when the app is opened for the first time. The following data are transmitted:

Further personal data such as name, postal address, financial data, all information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable person (collectively referred to as "personal data," excluding email address as "other personal data") are not required for the use of our services. Consequently, we do not collect any other personal data unless directly provided by you through our services or by other means.

Through the optional linking with an email address and/or phone number, the account can be secured to transfer it to other devices and/or services.

By providing additional demographic information such as your federal state, postal code, gender, or year of birth, we can offer better and personalized services in the future. Any provision of this data is voluntary and not required for basic use. We only use your personal data for the provision of our services, to fulfill your wishes and requests accordingly.

Additionally, we may collect various data transmitted with each access via the internet. These include, for example, IP addresses, information about the device used (e.g., the operating system (Android / iOS)), or the configured system language.

In legally mandated exceptional cases, we may be obliged to disclose stored personal data. This includes, for example, judicial requests for information or a potential threat to life and limb.

We hereby object to the use of contact data published in accordance with our impressum obligations for the transmission of unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional communications, such as spam emails.

For various features, especially for using the news feed, we integrate external content. This can occur either by calling up complete external websites displayed via an embedded window within the app, or by displaying individual elements (e.g., images) within the app.

For all integrated external services, the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective operators apply. Typically, various options (e.g., opt-in or opt-out) are provided there to control potential data collection by the respective providers.

We do not transmit any data collected by us to the operators of external content that goes beyond normal communication with websites on the internet.

A pseudonymous device identifier (device token) is used for this purpose. No further personal data is transmitted. Data processing is carried out based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Data transfer may occur to the USA. To ensure an adequate level of data protection, Google uses standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Further information: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

We use Google AdMob and AdSense for ad delivery. These are products of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Data transfer may occur to third countries. To ensure an adequate level of data protection, Google uses standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.

Users can reject or revoke personalization via the Consent Manager or Google Ads settings.

To optimize ad delivery, we also use Google's AdMob Mediation system. In addition to Google, other ad networks are integrated that use their own SDKs and may collect or process personal data (e.g., IP address, device information, usage behavior).

Currently, within the scope of AdMob Mediation, we specifically use the following third-party providers:

These networks may use data to display contextual or personalized advertising. Integration occurs based on consent via our Consent Management System in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can deactivate personalized advertising or revoke your consent at any time via the app's Consent Manager.

To optimize our services, we utilize various methods to analyze user behavior. For this purpose, we rely on internal, self-developed analytics tools that quantify, visualize, and evaluate the use of various features within our services. We use this data to optimize user-friendliness and develop new features.

We prioritize the security of all personal data linked to the app and its usage. We have implemented robust security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, and unauthorized alteration of the data we store. Our security protocols and privacy policy undergo regular review, with updates and enhancements made as deemed appropriate. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel. While we cannot provide an absolute assurance or guarantee against the loss, misuse, or modification of user data, we diligently apply all reasonable precautions to mitigate such risks.

We have implemented extensive additional safeguards concerning the app and its usage. Nevertheless, it is crucial to understand that, despite all security precautions, the transmission of information over the internet can never be entirely foolproof. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted via the app while it is in transit over the internet. Any such transmissions are undertaken at your own risk. We strongly advise responsible and prudent internet usage, along with diligent management of personal data.

You retain the right to object to the future use of your personal data at any time and to request a partial or complete restriction of its processing. Depending on the nature of your request, your personal data will be corrected, restricted, deleted, or relevant information will be provided. No specific formalities are required for such requests. You can contact us via email at support@politpro.eu.

Upon revocation of consent for data usage or a request for personal data deletion, we will proceed to erase your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, unless legal obligations necessitate its retention. In such instances, the collection and further use of the data will cease.
