App

Privacy Policy “Zieglinde’s Top Tips”

Applies to the mobile app "Zieglinde's Top Tips" on iOS and Android.

Welcome to "Zieglinde's Top Tips"! Here we explain in clear language what data the app stores, why, and how you can delete it at any time.

What data does the app store?

The app only stores data that you voluntarily enter. There is no mandatory registration. All profile data is stored exclusively locally on your device (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore, encrypted). This data is not transferred to any server.

Special protection of children's data

Child data according to Art. 8 GDPR: The app does not collect any data directly from children. Years of birth are entered exclusively by a parent or legal guardian. Only years are entered.

Location data and compass function

Compass navigation requires your current location to display farms in a specific direction. The query is a two-step process:

The app explains, via a Zieglinde-style dialogue, why the location is needed and what happens to it.
Only then will the system dialog of your operating system (iOS / Android) for granting permissions appear.
Recommended: "Allow only when using the app" (iOS) or "Only when using" (Android). The app does not require permanent permission.

Location data is not stored . It is only processed in memory for the duration of compass use. Without location sharing, the compass function is disabled; all other app functions remain fully available.

API services and data sharing

The app retrieves farm data from the discoverize API. These requests do not contain any personal user data.

service provider Purpose personal data
discoverize GmbH (AT) Farm data, images, search function No user reference in the request
Apple / Google (App Store) Distribution and updates of the app According to the respective platform privacy policy

Storage location, deletion and device change

Note regarding local storage : Since all profile data is stored locally on your device, all data will be deleted when the app is uninstalled. If you switch devices without a backup, your profile and favorites will be lost. Cloud sync is not supported in version 1 of the app.

You can completely remove all data stored in the app at any time under Settings > Privacy > Clear all data . The effect is immediate.
