1. What types and categories of data we collect, process and use?

We collect, process and use personal and non-personal data.

1.1 Personal and non-personal data

The term “personal data” is defined by the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You can think of your personal data as any data that allow you to be identified or that can be correlated to you.

On the other hand, “non-personal” data cannot be correlated to any specific person. By removing identifiable parts from and anonymizing personal data, personal data may be converted into “non-personal data.”

1.2 Data we collect, process and use

We collect, process and use three types of data:

2. How is data collected?

Personal data is collected by us only if you provide such data to us on your own initiative by choosing to use our Services. To be able to use our Services, you must register your account with us.

2.1 Login

You may create an AZ Stretch user account through our login system. Following registration, you will be able to use your user account to subscribe to all AZ Sport Services. To register, you must provide us with at least the following information:

Before completing the registration process, you must confirm that you have read our Privacy Policy and accept our General Terms and Conditions.

2.2 Adding information to your user profile

AZ Stretch application(s) also enable you to provide us with additional information, such as your gender, fitness level, and workout goals. After registering, you can add more information to your profile (e.g., a profile photo). If you do so, you will once again provide us with personal data. We will also receive data (including personal data) from you when you communicate with us or other users through an AZ Stretch application. If you create a workout schedule, we will receive information about which and how many workouts you have completed. We will also receive information about how you use AZ Stretch application(s). In that case, too, you will provide us with personal data.

2.3 Enabling access rights to your device

For you to be able to use an AZ Stretch application to the full extent, we will also need certain access rights to your smart phone. For example, we need access to your camera or your photos if you upload or want to change a profile photo. We use push messages to send you workout reminders or to notify you of new followers or comments. When you want to use such a function for the first time, we will ask you whether you grant us such access rights or we will ask you to grant us access by selecting the appropriate settings. Generally, you may revoke such access rights at any time by changing the appropriate settings.

2.4 Newsletter

You can register for our newsletter. That way, you will receive regular updates about the AZ Sport Services. All you need to receive our newsletter is to provide us with a valid e- mail address. If you are no longer interested in receiving the newsletter, you may unsubscribe at any time using the link that is included in each newsletter.

2.5 Linking your account to Facebook

You can also link your AZ Stretch user account to your Facebook profile. To do so, simply choose “Sign up with Facebook” during the registration process; you will then be transferred to Facebook. There, you will be shown to which Facebook data we will receive access. We will store your Facebook e-mail address. This is the e-mail address we will use to contact you, if necessary. We will also record the fact that you have registered through Facebook.

2.6 Linking your account to Google

You can also link your AZ Stretch user account to your Google profile. To do so, simply choose “Sign up with Google” during the registration process; you will then be transferred to Google. There, you will be shown to which Google data we will receive access. We will store your Google e-mail address. This is the e-mail address we will use to contact you, if necessary. We will also record the fact that you have registered through Google.

2.7 Website

You will also transfer certain information to us when you access our website or AZ Stretch application(s), e.g., your IP address. We will also receive data about which terminal device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) you are using, which browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, etc.) you are using, the time at which you access the website, the so-called referrer, and the data volume transferred. Such data cannot be used by us to identify the user. This data is processed for statistical purposes only. Such analyses help us make our Services more attractive and, if necessary, to improve our Services.

2.8 Log files

Every time you access our website the aforementioned data will be automatically stored in log files. A log file automatically logs all or defined actions on a computer system. Such log files are important, for example, for process control and automation. In the case of databases a log file tracks changes to the database of correctly executed transactions. In the event of an error (e.g., a system crash), this allows the current dataset to be restored. Log files are also created by web servers. Inter alia, the following data are logged: the address of the accessing computer, authentication fields, date and time of access, access method, content of HTML access, status code of the web server, and information about the browser and operating system used by the client.

2.9 Other possible instances of data collection

Collection of data also happens, for example, when you contact us or other users, i.e., when you open your AZ Stretch user account, sign up for a subscription, upload a profile photo, or use our Services to send messages.

3. What are our legal bases for processing of your data?

We will collect, process, and use your personal data and other data to support the delivery of AZ Sport Services in accordance with our General Terms and Conditions. In this section we provide information on the legal basis for our processing of your Personal Data as required by Art. 13 and 14 of the GDPR, as well as provide detailed information about the purposes of collection, processing and use of your data.

We process your data based on the Article 6 of the GDPR relying on the following legal bases:

We may also process the data if it is necessary to protect vital interests of our users and/or other people, or for the performance of an obligation to carry out in the public interest pursuant to Art. 6(1) (d) and (e).

4. What do we use your data for (purposes of processing)?

We will use personal data you have provided to us only if and to the extent necessary for providing our Services and handling of the contract or if you have consented that we may use your data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We process and use data (including personal data) you make available to us voluntarily on the website or through the AZ Stretch application in various situations (e.g., when you send us an e-mail). We also use data that are collected automatically on our website or through the AZ Stretch application. Finally, we may also receive data about you from third parties, for example when another user provides us with information about you.

We collect, process and use data for the following purposes:

If required by law, we will ask for your consent before collecting, processing, or using your personal data for any of the aforementioned purposes.

We will also notify you if we want to use your personal data for a new or different purpose. We will use your personal data for such other purposes only if and to the extent necessary or permitted by applicable law or with your consent.

5. How long and where are data stored?

Your personal data will be stored for as long as this is necessary for achieving the defined purposes of processing. If you cancel your user account, we will also erase within reasonable time or archive your personal data, i.e. restrict processing. An exception applies only if we have a legal obligation to archive data for a certain time period.

6. Cookies and tracking pixels

We collect information about visitors to our website and about users of our AZ Stretch application(s) in order to improve our Services. For this purpose we use different kinds of so-called cookies and tracking pixels (a.k.a. web beacons).

A cookie allows a web server to place a text file (e.g., a clear ID) on your computer or smart phone/tablet. Cookies are used, for example, to automatically recognize you the next time you visit our websites or use an AZ Stretch application. The cookie is sent either by the web server to your browser or is generated by client-side scripting (e.g., JavaScript). Cookie data will be stored locally on your terminal device and in most cases will be effective only for a limited time period.

Websites that include flash media write user-specific data to your computer and later read such data. Such files are called flash cookies or local shared objects (LSO). Such files are not managed by your browser, but rather by the flash player plug-in. Flash cookies are subject to the same rules as conventional cookies. Flash cookies, too, can only be read by the website that caused those flash cookies to be placed. However, flash cookies can store a substantially greater volume of data.

Your browser offers extensive setting options to manage cookies. For example, you can deactivate cookies in your browser or limit cookies to certain websites. You can also program your browser to first notify you before a cookie is placed. You can also choose these settings on your mobile terminal devices. You can at any time manage cookies by changing the settings of your devices, delete cookies, or block cookies altogether.

You can also visit our website even if you block cookies on your terminal device. If you block cookies, the display of our website may however be impaired and not all functions may be available to you. You can also use AZ Stretch application(s) without cookies. In that case, you may however no longer be able to use all functions of such application as conveniently.

Tracking pixels are small graphics in HTML e-mails or on websites. When you access such a website, your access to the tracking pixel will be recorded in a log file. This allows statistical analysis, which, in turn, can be used to improve our Services. You can set your e-mail program or your browser so that HTML e-mails will be displayed as text only, thereby preventing the use of some tracking pixels.

7. Transfer of data to third parties

Your personal data will be transferred to third parties only if we have a legal obligation to do so, if the data transfer is necessary for performance of the contract, or if you have consented to the transfer of your data. Third-party service providers and partner companies will receive your data only if and to the extent necessary for performance of the contract or with your consent. In such cases, the extent to which data are transferred will however be kept to the absolute minimum. To the extent that our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we will make sure that they too will comply with all applicable data protection laws. Please also read the data privacy policies of such third-party providers.

We use cloud services. This means we will transfer your data to a third party – the cloud services provider – and store data on the servers of that provider. In some cases, your data may also be stored on servers outside the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA). In some cases, your data may also be processed there. We either ensure through appropriate contracts that such service providers guarantee the same level of data privacy to which you are also entitled in the European Union or we use only providers that are EU-US Privacy Shield certified (https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome ). Either alternative ensures an appropriate level data privacy.

8. Data processing – third-party services and partners

To be able to offer you all functions and services of AZ Stretch application(s) in the most convenient way possible and to be able to continuously improve our Services, we use third-party services and partners. We also use the assistance of third parties to improve our website. Finally, we use certain tools for our marketing.

Below (in 8.1.1-8.1.6) we will explain the different services and the ways in which you can to conveniently revoke your consent, and we provide you with additional important information.

Additional information about how Google handles data transmitted by us is available here: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners/.

You can find additional information about how Google uses cookies in the data privacy policy of Google here: ( https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.)

Information generated by Google tools is generally transferred to a server of Google in the United States and stored there. Google and its subsidiaries are EU-US Privacy- Shield certified.

8.1.1 Google Analytics

Our application(s) and our website use Google Analytics, a web analysis program of Google. Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your terminal device and allows an analysis of your use. We activate IP address anonymization so that IP addresses will first be truncated by Google within the European Union. On our behalf Google uses such information to analyze your use of our Services as well as the use of our Services by other users, and provides us with reports and other services. The IP address transmitted from your terminal device to Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data of Google. Google will transfer your data to third parties only if permitted by applicable law or in accordance with outsourced data processing agreements.

You can prevent the collection and processing of information generated by the Google cookie by placing an opt-out cookie or deactivating Google Analytics in the menu of your terminal device. In the alternative, you can also install a browser plug-in, which you will find here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/ .

8.1.2 DoubleClick by Google

DoubleClick uses cookies to show you ads that are relevant to you. In the process, a pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to you to monitor which ads have been shown in your browser and which ads have been clicked. Such cookies contain no personal information. DoubleClick cookies allow Google and its partner websites to show ads on the basis of previous visits to our website or other websites on the Internet. Information generated by such cookies is transferred by Google to a server in the United States for analysis, where it is stored. Google never merges your data with any other data of Google. Data is transferred to third parties by Google only if permitted by applicable law or in accordance with outsourced data processing agreements.

If you do not wish to receive personalized ads, you can place an opt-out cookie:

You can also install the DoubleClick deactivation browser add-on. You will find this browser plug-in here:

You can block the cookie by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. In that case, your visit to our website will not be included in anonymous user statistics.

8.1.5 Firebase

Firebase is a Google subsidiary with its registered office in San Francisco, CA, U.S.A. We use Firebase SDK and Google Analytics for Firebase for our AZ Stretch application(s). This tool allows us to use the same Google Analytics functions for an application that can also be used for websites. Firebase uses technologies that work similar to cookies, in particular advertising IDs. This way, we collect information about how you use the AZ Stretch application(s).

8.4 Facebook Custom Audiences

We use the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” of Facebook Inc. (1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, U.S.A.). This function allows us to show visitors of our website and users of AZ Stretch application(s) interest-based ads when they visit Facebook (“Facebook ads”), and to analyze such Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, which helps us optimize future advertising.

9. Data security

Data transfers are generally subject to security gaps. It is technically impossible to protect your data 100% from access by third parties. However, we strive to minimize this risk as much as possible. We therefore maintain state-of-the-art measures to guarantee data security and to protect your data from access by third parties. In addition, we use strong SSL or TLS encryption for all data transfers. However, please make sure not to provide your login data to any third parties.

10. Websites of third parties

We occasionally place links to websites of third parties. Although we carefully select such third parties, we make no guarantee and assume no liability for the correctness or completeness of content or data security of any third-party websites. Nor does this Privacy Policy apply to linked third-party websites. We assume no responsibility for data privacy policies or content of any other websites.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may need to make changes to this Privacy Policy, for example if we add new functions or services to the application. We will however notify you of any changes and ask that you read and accept such changes before they are implemented by us.
