a. Recommendations for similar apps (Ravensburger)
If you use the app in online mode, the app communicates with our server using a tool programmed by us. We use this tool for marketing purposes, i.e. to send recommendations for other apps to your device which are displayed while you use the app (e.g. via the buttons “More” or “News” available in the main menu; in rare cases also in the form of pop-ups). These recommendations are not personalized, but compiled based on the app you use. The app sends the following information to our server: the app in which the tool was opened, the type of device (e.g. iPad, iPhone) the app is installed on, as well as which country and language are set on the device. No third party is involved in this communication process. In this context, logfiles are saved to our server, however they are saved without any IP address or specific device ID and therefore anonymously. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
b. Access to the camera
The first time you use the corresponding functionality in our app, a popup asks you for permission to use your camera. If you do not give permission, we do not receive access to your camera. In this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of our app. At a later date, you can retrospectively grant or revoke permission in your device’s operating system settings.
If you permit access to your camera, the app only accesses it to the extent necessary for providing the functionality. We treat your data with strict confidentiality. As soon as you revoke permission for use, the app can no longer access your camera. In this case, the additional functionality is no longer available.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Safety information: Especially in the case of camera-based applications it may present a risk when you use the app during driving, walking or in other situations where you can be distracted from or misinterpret events in the real world.
c. Integration of Vuforia
In order to implement visual recognition (image, markers, and objects), visual tracking, and mixed or augmented reality functions, the Vuforia SDK of third-party supplier PTC Inc. (in the following: PTC) is integrated in the app. Furthermore, in order to provide its functions, the Vuforia SDK requires access to your device’s camera (details on this are described in § 4 Section 4 lit. b).
While you use the app, certain information is saved and used by PTC as well as companies associated with PTC and their service providers. When you are online (although only while the Vuforia process is running in the app), the Vuforia SDK sends the following data to PTC in pseudonymous form (for details on the data logged, go to
https://developer.vuforia.com/legal/statistics):
• Device/app-specific information: hardware (e.g. make, model, resolution), operating system (e.g. vendor, version), app (e.g. ID, version), Vuforia SDK (e.g. version, errors)
• Use-specific information: configuration (country, language), localization (your IP address for the purpose of country or regional localization, but not determination of your concrete location), use of Vuforia (start, end, duration, frequency of camera use and recognition processes)
At any time, you can prevent the data collection and saving with effect for the future by revoking the rights to use of the camera (in the operating system settings of your device). Then the Vuforia SDK is no longer used, and you no longer have access to the additional functionality. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6, Section 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR.
PTC, companies associated with PTC, and PTC‘s service providers use the information described above to (a) offer the software and services, (b) enable provision of new products, updates, extras, and other services, (c) offer software, services, and other products. We do not have any influence over the collection and use of the statistics data by the third-party supplier PTC described above. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6, Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
