This application collects personal data from its users. This document can be printed for preservation purposes using the “print” command in the browser.

Privacy policy summary

The ovolution app (application) is an app for recording cycle data and evaluating it according to the Sensiplan® set of rules. The user registers a customer account under which his data are summarized. This data is stored and processed locally on the end device and in the Firestore database (location: Germany). This allows the user to use different end devices to capture and evaluate the cycle. The account will be linked to the payments to unlock the functionality after the trial period. If desired, the user has the possibility to delete his account in the application at any time and all cycle data will be irretrievably deleted. In addition, ovolution offers an optional email service with additional information on cycle topics and products sent to the user. If the user chooses to do so, selected cycle information is shared with the mail provider for the purpose of automation for better targeting.

To ensure application stability and user-friendliness, further information on user behavior and the hardware used by the user is also collected.

By using the application, the user agrees to the pseudonymized use of ovolution GmbH’s data for the following purposes:

  • Conducting scientific studies to validate the ovolution app and to research and develop natural family planning methods. In order to conduct such studies, it may be necessary to share pseudonymized data with scientific partners. We ensure that no conclusions can be drawn about individuals.
  • Further development and review of the ovolution app evaluation: We evaluate data sets to ensure that the ovolution app evaluations are working properly. For this purpose, we also use pseudonymized data for internal quality tests. No conclusions can be drawn about individuals.

The following list provides an overview of the external services used.

Unless otherwise specified, the provision of all data requested by this application is mandatory. If the user refuses to provide the data, this may result in this application being unable to provide its services to the user. In cases where this application expressly states that the provision of personal data is voluntary, users may choose not to provide such data without any consequences for the availability or functioning of the service.

Users who are unclear about which personal data is mandatory can contact the provider.

Any use of cookies – or other tracking tools – by this application or third-party service providers used by this application is for the purpose of providing the service requested by the User and any other purposes described in this document and, if any, in the Cookie Policy.

Users are responsible for all personal data of third parties obtained, published or disclosed through this Application and confirm that they have obtained consent for the transfer of personal data of any third parties to this application.

Type and location of data processing

Processing methods

The provider processes user data in a proper manner and takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access and unauthorized forwarding, modification or destruction of data.
Data processing is carried out by means of computers or IT-based systems in accordance with organizational procedures and practices specifically aimed at the stated purposes. In addition to the data controller, other persons internally (human resources, sales, marketing, legal department, system administrators) or externally – and in the case where necessary, designated by the data controller as processors (such as technical service providers, delivery companies, hosting providers, IT companies or communication agencies) – could also operate this application and thus have access to the data. A current list of these parties may be requested from the provider at any time.

Legal basis of processing

The provider may process personal data of users only if one of the following applies:

  • The users have given their consent for one or more
    specific purposes. Note: In some jurisdictions, the provider
    may be permitted to process personal data until
    the user objects to such processing (“opt-out”) without
    relying on consent or any other
    of the following legal bases. However, this does not apply if the processing
    of personal data is subject to European data protection law;
  • the data collection is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract
    with the user and/or for pre-contractual measures arising therefrom;
  • the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the provider is subject;
  • the processing is related to a task
    carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority
    vested in the provider;
  • the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the provider or a third party.

In any case, the provider will be happy to provide information about the specific legal basis on which the processing is based, in particular whether the provision of personal data is a legal or contractual obligation or a prerequisite for the conclusion of a contract.

Location

The data will be processed in the provider’s office and in all other places where the entities involved in data processing are located.

Depending on the user’s location, data transfers may involve the transfer of the user’s data to a country other than the user’s own. To learn more about the place of processing of the transmitted data, users can consult the section with the detailed information on the processing of personal data.

Users also have the right to be informed about the legal basis of the transfer of data to a country outside the European Union or to an international organization governed by international law or established by two or more countries, such as the UN, as well as about the security measures taken by the provider to protect their data.

If such a transfer occurs, the user can learn more about it by reviewing the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the provider using the information provided in the contact section.

Duration of storage

Personal data is processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose for which it was collected.

Therefore applies:

  • Personal data collected for the purpose of fulfilling
    contract concluded between the provider and the user
    will be stored until the complete fulfillment
    of this contract.
  • Personal data collected to protect the legitimate
    interests of the provider shall be retained for as long
    as necessary to fulfill these purposes. Users can obtain
    more detailed information about the provider’s legitimate interests
    in the relevant sections of this document or by contacting
    the provider.

In addition, the provider is permitted to store personal data for a longer period of time if the user has consented to such processing, as long as the consent is not revoked. In addition, the provider may be required to retain personal data for a longer period of time if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation or by order of an authority.

After the retention period has expired, personal data is deleted. Therefore, the right of access, the right of erasure, the right of rectification and the right of data portability cannot be exercised after the expiry of the retention period.

Processing purposes

Personal data about the user is collected in order for the provider to provide the service and further to comply with its legal obligations, to respond to enforcement requests, to protect its rights and interests (or those of the users or third parties), to detect malicious or fraudulent activities. In addition, data is collected for the following purposes: registration and login, platform services and hosting, backend infrastructure and hosting, handling payments, ovolution app – analysis and optional automatic sending of emails around the cycle.

By using the application, the user agrees to the pseudonymized use of ovolution GmbH’s data for the following purposes:

  • Conducting scientific studies to validate the ovolution app and to research and develop natural family planning methods. In order to conduct such studies, it may be necessary to share pseudonymized data with scientific partners. We ensure that no conclusions can be drawn about individuals.
  • Further development and review of the ovolution app evaluation: We evaluate data sets to ensure that the ovolution app evaluations are working properly. For this purpose, we also use pseudonymized data for internal quality tests. No conclusions can be drawn about individuals.
