Notes on permissions

Please note that the app may require access to device functions.

Of course, no personal data will be collected, transferred or used in any other way.

Calendar:

The app allows you to save collection reminders directly in your device calendar. The "Calendar" authorization is required for this.

Location:

The app can sort search results on some pages according to the distance to your location, making your search much easier. Of course, you will be asked for your permission before using the device location and your location will not be transmitted to us.

Phone / Device ID / Call Information:

In order to remind you of appointments even more conveniently, some providers support push notifications. The phone identity of your device is required for this. However, this number is only saved if you activate the push notification in the app. We also only use this to remind you via push. Access to call information prevents you from receiving annoying notifications during a call. This information is not used for other purposes.

Storage / Photos / Media / Files / Camera:

Some providers of the garbage app support the reporting of garbage deposits. For this purpose, a photo can be taken or uploaded in addition to the textual description. You can then send this photo to the responsible waste disposal company. Photos are only taken and transferred if you explicitly request it.

Network access:

The app is loaded directly from the Internet when the user interface is updated or when errors are corrected. Network access is required for this. To reduce data consumption, however, the app is saved after loading so that all data is also available offline.

We hereby guarantee you once again that we no collect or use any data from you, except for the purpose described above. It is possible that the app requires the stated permissions, although these are not currently in use. In this case, your disposal company has not yet activated the intended functionality and the relevant data is not requested.
