2. Collected and Processed Data
2.1 Camera Data (Barcode Scanning)
The App uses the camera to scan barcodes. Images are processed only temporarily and are not stored permanently unless you explicitly save the scanned code. Saved codes (including the image) remain locally on your device.
2.2 Imported Logos
You can import images from your gallery and assign them to codes. These images are stored locally on your device.
2.3 Third-Party SDKs – Google AdMob and Firebase
The App uses Google services that automatically collect and transmit the following data to Google:
- Device or other IDs (e.g. Advertising ID, Firebase Installation ID)
- User IDs (anonymous Firebase user identifier)
- Approximate Location (via IP address)
- App Interactions (usage behavior)
- Crash logs and Diagnostics
- Email address and Phone number (only if voluntarily provided by the user in a future feature – currently not actively used)
Purpose: Advertising (AdMob), app stability, crash reporting, fraud prevention, and technical optimization (Firebase).
These data are processed exclusively by Google and are not stored locally in the App. The collection is necessary for the use of advertising and technical services and cannot be fully deactivated by the user.
Further information can be found in the Google Privacy Policy and the Firebase Privacy Notes.
2.4 Custom Names and Categories
You can assign custom names and categories to scanned codes. These data are stored exclusively locally on your device.
2.5 ML Kit (Barcode Recognition)
Barcode recognition is performed locally on your device using Google ML Kit. No image data is sent to Google.

For homescreen widgets, saved codes and logos are provided locally on the device.
3. Data Transfer
Apart from the Google services mentioned above (AdMob and Firebase), no data is transferred to external servers. All saved codes, images, and logos remain locally on your device.
4. Affiliate / Referral Links
The App contains links to external shops (e.g. Amazon, eBay). When using these links, the respective shops may process technical data (IP address, device information, etc.). We do not receive any information about your purchases or browsing behavior.
5. Your Rights (GDPR)
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, and objection. Since most data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it at any time in the App or by uninstalling the App.
