6. Marketing & Technical Monitoring with Google Firebase
Firebase is a mobile and web application development platform developed in 2011 by Firebase, Inc. in San Francisco, USA. and acquired in 2014 by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Blindside uses Firebase in its app by analyzing user behavior within the apps. In doing so, anonymous activity data, i.e. touch gestures, scrolling or user interactions, are collected and stored. Only anonymized data is collected as part of the service and is not linked to the actual user data. Incidentally, you can find more information from Firebase at: https://firebase.google.com/support/faq/ and on data protection at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.7. Marketing with Google Ads (Remarketing)Our app Internet presence also uses the remarketing function within the Google AdWords service. Google AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). With the remarketing function, we can present users of our app with advertisements based on their interests on other websites within the Google display network (on Google itself, so-called "Google Ads" or on other websites). For this purpose, the interaction of users with blindside ads is analyzed. If a potential user clicks on an ad but does not download the app, targeted ads for the download can be displayed. For this purpose, Google stores a number in the browsers of users who visit certain Google services or website in the Google display network. This number, known as a "cookie", is used to record the visits of these users. This number is used to uniquely identify a web browser on a particular computer and not to identify an individual. The information collected by the cookie about the use of our website (including your IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
‍
We would like to point out that on this website Google AdWords (Remarketing) has been extended by the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). At our instigation, your IP address is therefore only recorded by Google in shortened form, which ensures anonymization and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can deactivate the interest-based ads on Google as well as interest-based Google ads on the web (within the Google display network) in your browser by clicking on the "deactivate" link under http://www.google.de/settings/ads in the "Deactivation settings" sub-item in each case. Furthermore, you can also deactivate interest-based advertising at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/?partnerId=1/ via opt-out, for which an opt-out cookie is set on your computer.8. User Experience and TrackingTo make the user experience as good as possible and to keep improving it, we record the behavior of users within the app. This means specifically, for example, to offer better suggestions for exercises, we log the activities of a user limited to categories (e.g. tags) of his behavior. However, the user remains unrecognized, because the software is not interested in personal data, but only in the behavior of an anonymous user.To be able to manage the tracking, we use services from AWS Germany, Amazon Web Services in Germany. This service is offered by Amazon Web Services, Inc, 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle WA 98109, USA.
