Data protection app

Data protection declaration for the LearnKorean app

I. General

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and treat it confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. This data protection declaration applies to our mobile iPhone and Android apps (hereinafter "APP"). It explains the type, purpose and scope of data collection when using the APP. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Responsible body

The responsible body for data processing within the scope of this APP is:

EMTEC IT-Solutions GmbH

c/o Mr. Stephen Gullans

Schneisenstr. 20

22145 Hamburg

Telephone: +49 (040) 6785511

E-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The "responsible body" is the body that collects, processes or uses personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

General storage period for personal data

As a general rule, we do not store any personal data. If services such as "text-to-speech" or "speech-to-text" are used, we have no control over corresponding services from Google or Apple.

Unless otherwise specified or specified in this data protection declaration, the personal data collected by this APP will be stored until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. If there is a legal obligation to retain data or another legally recognized reason for storing the data (e.g. legitimate interest), the personal data in question will not be deleted until the respective reason for retention no longer applies.

Legal basis for storing personal data

The processing of personal data is only permitted if there is an effective legal basis for processing this data. If we process your data, this is usually done on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (e.g. if you voluntarily provide your data in the registration form or as part of the contact form), for the purpose of fulfilling the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (e.g. when using in-app purchases or using other paid app functions) or due to legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which are always weighed against your interests (e.g. in the context of advertising measures). The relevant legal bases will be specified separately in this data protection declaration if necessary.

Encryption

This APP uses encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the APP operator, or the communication between APP users. This encryption prevents the data you transmit from being read by unauthorized third parties.

Changes to this data protection declaration

We reserve the right to change these data protection provisions at any time in compliance with legal requirements.

II. Your rights

The GDPR grants data subjects whose personal data is processed by us certain rights, which we would like to inform you about at this point:

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your consent. We will expressly obtain this from you before data processing begins. You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT MARKETING (ART. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR WHICH SERVE THE PROCESSING FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING IN SO FAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, those affected have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Information, deletion and correction

You have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint if you have any questions about this or other questions about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request that the data processing be restricted instead of deleted.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted.
• If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may - with the exception of storage - only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

III. Access rights of the APP

In order to provide our services via the APP, we currently do not require any access rights that enable us to access certain functions of your device.

IV. Collection of personal data when using the APP

General

When you use our APP, we collect the following personal data from you:

The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or - if a contract has been concluded - the fulfillment of our contractual obligations (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

Data analysis

When you access our APP, your behavior can be statistically evaluated using certain analysis tools and analyzed for advertising and market research purposes or to improve our offers. When using such tools, we ensure compliance with the statutory data protection regulations. When using external service providers (contract processors), we ensure through appropriate contracts with the service providers that the data processing complies with German and European data protection standards.
