Privacy

LockMyPix protects your privacy. We are subject to strict European privacy policies and insure AES encryption for each imported file. No files will be sent to our servers or to any other unknown servers.
This Privacy Notice applies to data processing by LockMyPix, legally responsible: LockMyPix GmbH & Co. KG, An der Autobahn 37, 28876 Oyten, Germany. E-Mail: hello@lockmypix.com (no technical support)

Privacy is our passion. That’s why we’re as transparent as possible. We are legally obliged to list the following clauses. Even if we only use anonymous data to optimize our software.

 

General

LockMyPix does not collect any private data or evaluate private data. Our users do not have to provide any address or contact details that might be misused. No files or other data will be transmitted or evaluated to our servers or stored on backup servers without the consent of our users (cloud backup only). Transparency is one of our most important assets. All files you import into LockMyPix are stored locally, on your device or sd-card. If you use the LockMyPix Cloud, your files will be transferred to the Google Drive / Dropbox account you have provided (your private account). There is no transfer to other servers.

 

What data do we collect?

Automatically collected, statistical data for the further development and optimization of our offers are fundamentally anonymized (IP address unknown) and are only collected when you visit our website or app or contact us e.g. get in contact via e-mail. Due to the anonymization, there is no connection between your person and, for example, the time when you accessed our application.
We may receive the following personal information when contacting us by e-mail if you provide any:
– personal details (for example, first and last name, address, e-mail address);

We receive the following personal data when you visit our website:
– e.g. Attribution characteristics of mobile devices such as user agent, data on your visits to our website such as time or pages accessed, devices with which you have visited our website

The following personal data we receive when you call the LockMyPix app on your device:
– e.g. Reports on issues during use, mapping features of mobile devices such as manufacturer & model, usage time of the application

 

Who receives any statistically collected, personal data?

A transfer of your personal data to third parties, not mentioned in this privacy statement service provider, takes not place without exception. If individual features of the LockMyPix website or app are used by contracted service providers, we will inform you in detail about the respective processes in the context of this privacy policy.

 

What purpose does your data serve and with what justification can we use it?

Automatically collected statistical data will be used for the further development and optimization of our offers. If you only use our website to obtain information about our services, we will only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data that is technically necessary for us to display our website and to ensure its stability and security (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. DSGVO):

  • date and time of the request
  • Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of the request (concrete page)
  • Access Status / HTTP status code
  • amount of data transferred
  • Website that receives the request
  • browser
  • operating system and its interface
  • Language and version of the browser software.

In addition to these data, cookies are also stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your hard drive that are associated with the browser you are using, and that provide certain information to the body that sets the cookie (in this case, to us). Cookies can not run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve solely to make the Internet offer more user-friendly and effective.
Use of cookies:

  1. This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and operation of which are explained below:
    • Transient cookies (see 2)
    • Persistent cookies (see 3).
      1. Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include in particular the session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the common session. This will allow your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
      1. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies in your browser’s security settings at any time.
      1. You can configure your browser setting to your liking and, for B. decline the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies. Please be aware that you may not be able to use all features of this website.

If you would like to arrange an appointment for treatment by e-mail or via our contact form or send us a question, we will store the data you have provided (your e-mail address, your name and your telephone number if necessary) to give you a treatment appointment to assign or answer your request. We delete the data arising in this context after the storage is no longer required, or limit the processing if there are statutory retention obligations (legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR).

 

App permissions

Any app permissions necessary for LockMyPix to function properly will not be abused or otherwise used than intended.

 

Passwordrecovery

Your LockMyPix password is private and known to you only. LockMyPix does not save the password and does not know the password, but uses it to encrypt your important files. To restore your password, if you should forget it, you can deposit a e-mail address. LockMyPix then stores your password encrypted on our servers without an assignment to a LockMyPix data safe or the ability to create any inference. The specified email address is used exclusively for password recovery and will not be shared. You can deactivate and delete password recovery by e-mail at any time in the settings (from V. 2.7.5 or 4.5.4).

 

Google Analytics & Firebase

LockMyPix uses Google Analytics and Google Firebase for functions- and bug monitoring provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google may create cookies on the device to ensure the functionality of the software.

For more information see Google’s Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en

Functions- and bug monitoring can be deactivated from the settings (from V. 2.7.5 or 4.5.4).
In addition, the Google account settings can be adjusted to fundamentally determine how Google is allowed to deal with user data.

 

Ads

If advertising is displayed in LockMyPix, the ads are provided by Google AdMob, Applovin or Facebook. Advertising does not exist in LockMyPix Premium. In addition, no advertising provider is activated in LockMyPix Premium.

We use the services of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

Our app uses Google AdMob technologies to display personalized advertising. We therefore transmit your IP address to the Google AdMob service in the USA (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Furthermore, LockMyPix uses technologies from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”) to display personalized advertising. Therefore, we may transmit your IP address to the Meta service in the USA. Furthermore, LockMyPix uses technologies from AppLovin Corporation, 640 2nd St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (“AppLovin”) to display personalized advertising. We therefore transmit your IP address to the AppLovin service in the EU and possibly in the USA. And your advertising ID only if you agree to personalized advertising. The advertising ID is a pseudonym under which general information about your surfing behavior is stored. Google processes the data on our behalf in order to provide you with customized, personalized advertising.

If we ask the user for their consent (e.g. in the context of a cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. GDPR. Otherwise, the personal data of the users are processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer and the mobile apps within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO).

Insofar as data is processed in the USA, we would like to point out that Google and Meta are certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus guarantee compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status= Active, https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
