4. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves the following purposes:

  • Necessary/essential cookies: These are required to provide the website and essential functions. This includes the cookie that is used to store whether you have given your consent to the setting of optional cookies.
  • Statistics: These cookies are used to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you (see Plausible Section 5). These cookies also enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.
  • Marketing: These cookies are used for marketing purposes, i.e. to show you personalised advertisements on third-party websites and to measure the success of advertisements (retargeting, conversion tracking). See section 6 on Meta Pixel and Conversion API.
  • External media: These cookies are used to enable the integration of external media or third-party services such as interactive maps into our website (such as Facebook, Google Maps, Instagram, Openstreetmap, Twitter, Vimeo and YouTube).

Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. The following information is stored in the cookie: cookie duration, cookie version, domain and path of the website, consent, UID (this is a randomly generated ID).

A cookie consent is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in the documentation of consent to extended functions in the context of the provision of our website, Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR.

We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties.

8. Face Data Policy

This Policy only applies to mobile application that reference or link to this Privacy Policy.

Face data we collect

We analyse the data frames from the TrueDepth camera to identify feature points on the face (e.g. the eyes, nose and mouth) for processing. We do not collect facial data. Once the analysis process is complete, all data will be deleted and none will be saved or shared with third parties.

Purpose and process of collecting face data

To make the PushUp Battle counter work, we need to measure the distance between your face and the device. While the TrueDepth camera collects depth data, we measure this distance in real time. This value is temporarily stored to validate whether your face is close to or far from the device. Once the measurement process is complete, all your face data will be deleted.

It may become necessary to amend this privacy policy as a result of the further development of our website and offers on it or due to changes in legal or official requirements.
