Right to be forgotten, Rectification of Personal Data

You have the right to request erasure of your Personal Data by GDPR Article 17 and 18). To do so, sign-out of the app and due to the end-2-end encryption, no readable data will remain. Contact your provider to request all data to be deleted irrevocably. The service depends on the Personal Data being processed and can not work correctly without it. The Personal Data originates from the input given by the user; rectification can be done by editing the data within the app at any time.

Collected Data

  • Contact list:
    The mobile contact list is used in order to easily call someone from the app without knowing their number. The contact list is not stored on a server. We create an anConnect contact on your device for each existing contact you have. This is necessary in order to allow you to click a button from the contacts app on your phone (e. g. Google contacts, Samsung contacts etc.), which allows you to call people using the anConnect app.
  • IP Addresses:
    When using features which require server components, like Push Notifications, or any web services, the IP address and browser information may be logged by the servers. The logs are automatically rotated and the information in them is only processed when troubleshooting specific issues, or when required by law.
  • Usage Data:
    The servers collect information whether the app has been actively used for accounting/billing purposes.

Data Portability

You have the right to request a copy of your Personal Data in a portable format.

Complaints

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
