Thank you for installing our app.

Data Privacy Policy

The umlaut insightCoreSDK is provided by umlaut communications GmbH, Am Kraftversorgungsturm 3, 52070 Aachen, Germany (“umlaut communications”). Any use of the corresponding host application, where the umlaut insightCoreSDK is part of, is only allowed under the conditions as outlined below.

Declaration of Consent to Data Processing

By downloading and using a host application, which is enabled by the umlaut insightCoreSDK, you are consenting to the data processing as described in this Data Privacy Policy.

With using the umlaut insightCoreSDK, we collect personal-related (pseudonymous) data. This is information that is not directly associated with the real-life identity of the user, for example, the type of internet connection, the measured velocity and location and measurements from connectivity tests, as well as system and usage parameters, and, provide those anonymized to our partners. In NO case do we collect content information such as messages or passwords.

Data Privacy – What we stand for

umlaut communications are aware that you consider a particularly safe handling of all your personal data as extremely important. Therefore, we guarantee that all your data is processed by us in accordance with the provisions of the relevant EU legislation, as implemented in Germany.

What information is collected

The umlaut insightCoreSDK collects personal-related (pseudonymous) data. This is information that is not directly associated with the real-life identity of the user (and which could not be used to identify them individually), for example, the type of internet connection, the measured velocity and location and measurements from connectivity tests, as well as system and usage parameters.

At the latest after six months, the pseudonym is automatically replaced by a new random number. Information collected will at NO time be associated with names, email addresses or phone numbers of users. In NO case do we collect content information such as messages or passwords.

In addition to the results of the tests run by the SDK other localization information and technical (system) parameters are obtained. Some technical parameters (such as wireless network information) are collected periodically, e.g. subject to GPS localization events.

As far as IP-addresses are concerned, those will be masked on collection within the app, by removing the last three digits; therefore, a correlation to a single user is no longer possible.

Specifically, the following data will be collected from the user’s device and analyzed:

Measurement results as executed by the umlaut insightCoreSDK (active measurements “Connection Test”)

Measurement data collected through use of the device (passive measurements)

System and usage parameters

The regular execution of the connection test and the collection of the passive measurements and system and usage information take place in the background. The connection test is regularly checking the availability of a data network connectivity to the internet and, thereby, it consumes less than 3MB in total per month.

Purpose of Data Collection

The data collected is used statistically, with the purposes of supporting the development and improvement of communication networks as well as usage-related analyses.

Transfer of Information

With acceptance of the Data Privacy Policy, you agree that the information described above, is stored and can be transferred anonymously to our partners. 

Personally identifiable data (like name, phone number or email address) are NOT collected and, therefore, can at no time be transferred to third parties. The collected pseudonymous data are only transferred in context of their analyses to our partner umlaut communications.

Lawfulness of data processing is your consent according to Art. 6 (1) a) of GDPR.

Right of the Data Subject

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, notification obligation regarding rectification, erasure, and restriction of processing, data portability and objection.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Opt-out

You always have the option to uninstall the application. With the application being uninstalled, the collection of information is stopped immediately and respective data is erased from your device.
