3.4 Contact by Email

If you contact us by email, we process your email address, the content of your message and related technical email metadata in order to respond to your request. Depending on the request, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

3.5 Authentication Links

For email verification and password reset, EDVORQ uses links on this website. Action codes from the link are transmitted to Firebase Authentication so that your email address can be verified or your password can be changed. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

4.4 Profile Photo, Media Access and Shared Images

If you choose a profile photo, the app accesses your photo library after you grant permission. The selected image may be uploaded to Firebase Cloud Storage and the related image URL may be stored in your user profile and Arena profile. If you use the "Share Workout" feature, the app may save an image generated by you to your media library or share it through the operating system. EDVORQ does not automatically access your existing photos and does not analyze image content. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

4.5 Push Notifications

The app uses local notifications and, where you allow them, remote push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging and the operating system push services, such as Apple Push Notification service (APNs). For this purpose, a push token, Firebase Installation ID and technical delivery information are processed. The token may be stored in your user account so that EDVORQ can notify you about follows, rivalries, challenges, ranking events or reminders. You can disable push notifications in your device settings. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

4.6 Apple Health

4.8 No Advertising and No Advertising Tracking

The EDVORQ app does not use in-app advertising, does not sell personal data and does not share your data with advertising networks. The processed data is used for app functionality, security, sync, community features, support and integrations you allow.

5. Service Providers and Recipients

EDVORQ uses technical service providers where required for operation, security and delivery of the app and website.

Transfers to third countries, in particular the United States, may take place as part of these services. They are based on appropriate safeguards, in particular adequacy decisions, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, standard contractual clauses or the respective providers' privacy terms.

6. Legal Bases

Depending on the feature, processing is based on the following legal bases:

7. Retention and Account Deletion

Personal data is stored for as long as your account is active or the processing remains necessary for the purposes described above. You can delete your account in the app. This deletes in particular your authentication account, user profile, training data, Arena profile, profile photo, follows, rivalries and blocks, to the extent that this data is linked to your account and technically covered by the deletion process.

Security-related data, support emails, abuse reports, technical logs and data subject to statutory retention may be stored for longer where required for legal enforcement, abuse prevention, handling open requests or complying with legal obligations. According to Firebase, deleted data may remain in backup systems for a limited period.

Local data on devices where you are not signed in or that are not syncing can only be deleted on the respective device. Please delete the app data there as well where necessary.

8. Data Security

Data is generally transmitted in encrypted form. Firebase databases and storage areas are protected by security rules and role-based access. No technical system is completely secure; we work to keep permissions, rules and processes up to date according to the app's development stage.
