          6. Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others

We may allow others to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics services. We use Google Analytics and Google Crashlytics. With your consent, the mobile access app uses the analysis tools Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics (collectively “Google Analysis Tools”) from Google LLC as described in more detail below, to analyze user behavior and to report on the stability and improvement of the mobile access app.

Such tools are utilized based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR): When you initially launch the AlikeProff mobile access app, no prompt for consent regarding Google Analytics will be presented as AlikeProff does not solicit consent from users for this purpose. The AlikeProff app does not facilitate the collection of consent or the withdrawal thereof for Google Analytics. However, users retain the ability to manage Google Analytics preferences independently.

More information about both Google Analytics tools may be found at:

firebase.google.com/support/privacy/

as well as in Google’s privacy policy.

Enabling Google Analytics for Firebase permits data about the user of the mobile access App to be collected for the purposes of analysis.

Through Google Analytics for Firebase, Google collects data on the device (in particular the Mobile Advertising Identifier), IP addresses and app activities on our behalf to evaluate the use of the mobile access app, to compile reports on the activities performed within the mobile access app and to permit it to offer us other services related to the use of the mobile access app.

In addition to disabling Google Analytics for Firebase in the settings of the mobile access app, you may limit the use of the above-mentioned Google Play Services Advertising ID (Android) or IDFA (iOS) in the device settings of your mobile device:

For Android: Settings> Google> Ads> Disable personalized advertising

For iOS: Settings> Privacy> Advertising> Limit Ad Tracking

You can find more information on data protection, in particular on the personal data involved in specific cases, at:

support.google.com/firebase/answer/6318039.

The personal data will be deleted after 14 months.

We also use the Google analysis tool Firebase Crashlytics to receive error reports following any crash of the mobile access app and to measure and improve the performance of the app. If the mobile access app crashes, information about the crash, such as device type, operating system version and some technical data, is sent to Google via the mobile device, which enables us to diagnose and solve problems (so-called crash reports). The data is stored anonymously.

More information about Firebase Crashlytics can be found at:

firebase.google.com/docs/crashlytics

The personal data will be deleted after 90 days.

With regards to personalized ads, If you want to stop receiving personalized ads, you can go to “Settings”, once you choose not to receive personalized ads, we and our third-party partners will stop sending personalized ads to you. Please note that the number of ads you see will not change, but they may be less relevant to you.

          7. Children’s Privacy

Children under the age of 18 must not use the Services for any purpose without first obtaining legally valid parental/guardian consent to this Privacy Policy (both for themselves and on your behalf).

                        d. Cookies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the Services.

Cookies are small files that we or others send to and store on or with your computer so that your computer, browser, mobile app or other application can be recognized as unique the next time you access, visit, use or otherwise take advantage of the Services or other media.

One use or consequence of cookies is to enable you to receive customized ads, alerts, content, services or information. You are always free to decline any cookies we use by adjusting the settings of your browser, as your browser may permit; however, some products, services or features might not be available or operate properly if cookies are not enabled. Some of our advertisers and third-party service providers may also utilize their own cookies.

In addition, we, our service providers and others sometimes use data-gathering mechanisms on the Services, including without limitation “web beacons”, “clear GIFs”, “pixels” and/or “tags”. These perform statistical and administrative functions, such as measuring site and page traffic, verifying advertising paths, better understanding user interests and activity, gathering related information (such as information relating to a particular browser, device or IP address) and positioning images, and typically do so without detracting from your online experience. Such mechanisms are not necessarily designed to collect Personal Information. In addition, if you have provided your email address, we might use a non-human unreadable form (or “hash”) of your email address to deliver, or facilitate delivery of, relevant advertisements and information to you on or by way of the Services or on or by way of other websites or media, including, for example, popular social media sites and features.

                        e. Promotional Communications

You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by following the instructions in those communications or by emailing us at [Insert Email Address].
