§ 2 Personal data processed during download

All this information remains exclusively on your end device (app settings, app properties). No data and information is sent by the app over the Internet, transmitted to us, read by us or stored by us in a central location.
(4) If the processing of data requires the storage of information in your terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the terminal equipment, Section 25 (1), (2) TTDSG is the legal basis for this.
