Crash and Error analysis

SimpleumSafe-App (short „App“) uses Crashlytics from Crashlytics Inc. now Google, Inc., based on our legitimate interests (i.e. maintaining and improving the quality of the software, ensuring the promised benefits within the meaning of article 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR). Provider is the Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When the app crashes or a special error occurs, information such as operating system version, device type, and crash details are recorded and transferred to Crashlytics. The data is recorded, transmitted and stored in an anonymous manner. IP addresses are not saved. You can find the privacy policy of Crashlytics here (http://try.crashlytics.com/terms/ und abric Data Processing and Security Terms) .
The collected diagnostic data is processed in the United States and is used by Simpleum to optimize or quickly detect simple to critical bugs in the app. It is not possible to draw conclusions about the identity of the user and the type and contents of the files in the Safe.
You can choose to send or no longer send usage information and diagnostic data by adjusting the settings in the app. In the app’s delivery state, this option is enabled.

Capturing usage metrics

With usage metrics, we mean counting how often certain functions are called in the app. For example, how often a new Safe is created or how often the help is called.

We use Fabric and the Answers analytics plugin from Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, based on our legitimate interests (i.e. maintaining and improving the quality of the software, ensuring the promised services in meaning of article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

It is not possible to draw conclusions about the identity of the user and the type and contents of the files in the safe. In addition to the information automatically provided by Fabric and Answers, simplistic uses custom events (see below) to collect and evaluate data on specific actions performed by the user. This data helps to understand, for example, which functions are often or rarely used. Details regarding the user’s data handling by Google as well as his rights and settings for the protection of his personal data, the user can read the privacy information of Fabric here: https://fabric.io/terms und abric Data Processing and Security Terms

The following custom events include the number of uses of features in the app (no content data is recorded): manual backup, restore, create recovery password, recover password, open safe (incl. number False logins before successful login), call the simpleum.com (home page, FAQ, help, bug report, request for new function), rate app, recommend by email, recommend via imessage.
A custom event is created for checking the safe integrity. It records the number and type of errors found, but does not record information about the files in the safe. (Example: CountNonTrashedChilds – a folder in the trash contains files that are not in the trash)
A custom event is recorded when using the safe information on the number of files and folders as well as the size of the entire safe is abstracted. This is done in an abstract way, so that no inference can be made to the user. The number or size is summarized in grouped sizes (1, 2, 5, 10, 20,…, 10,000, 20,000,…).

You can choose to send or no longer send usage information and diagnostic data by adjusting the settings in the app. In the app’s delivery state, this option is enabled.

Any dispute or claim arising out of this privavy policy shall be finally settled by arbitration in Hamburg, Germany.
This privacy policy has been translated from German into English. Each dispute relates to the German version of the privacy policy.
