This Privacy Notice applies to the processing of personal data in the context of

1. the websites www.yuktix.com ("Website"), and
2. the mobile applications GidaBits (‘App”),
3. the digital community yuktix Community ("Community”).

The Website, the App and the Community are collectively referred to as the "Services”.

When using the Website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide s with information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server. If you view our Website, we collect the following data:

• IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Content of the request (specific page URL, but not the content of the page as such)
• Access status/HTTP status code
• Web page where the user was referred from (‘referrer’)
• Information about operating system and browser software
• Preferred language setting and screen resolution

This data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

• Provision of the Website
• Evaluation of system security and stability
• Compile aggregated, anonymous usage statistics that serve to improve the Website

This data may only be personally identifiable via the IP address. Depending on your way of access to the Internet, the IP address may be completely anonymous, or your access provider stores the assignment of a dynamic IP address to you. In the latter case, combining the above-mentioned data with that of your access provider can eventually make a connection between you personally and the above-mentioned data. However, we will only initiate this if this is appropriate in individual cases for the purposes of legal prosecution, and we will otherwise only cooperate in this if this is ordered by competent authorities or courts in individual cases. The legal basis for the provision of the Website is Performance of Contract. For the other purposes, the legal basis s the Legitimate Interest in keeping the Website and the underlying systems secure, and to improve the usability and performance of the Website. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you personally. The data will be stored until the end of the calendar month following use and then be deleted or anonymized (unless required in individual cases for the purpose of legal prosecution) within seven working days.

When downloading the App, the necessary information is transferred to the App store, in particular user name, e-mail address and customer ID of your account with the App store provider, time of download, and the individual device identification number. This data processing happens in the context of your use of the App store and within the legal framework you have with your App store provider. We are not controlling this data processing and have no access to this data. However, we may receive anonymous aggregated statistical data from the App store providers based on this personal data.

The main functionality of the App is to provide crop management advice to a grower.

We collect the following information in that connection,

• Location (latitude, longitude, alteration, mobile network provider)
• Timestamp
• User ID (internal) in case you are logged in as a user
• Phone number
• Image source (image taken with App or uploaded from device storage)
• audio and video sources (uploaded from app)
• Locale of the App and your device (ISO country code)
• Network type (e.g. mobile 3G, mobile 4G, WiFi)

for the purpose of improving the analysis results and algorithms, and improving the performance, stability, security and user experience of the App, based on a Legitimate Interest in these purposes. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you personally. For the latter purposes, we will store and process the data for the lifetime of the Services (without prejudice for any 'right to be forgotten’ request from you - see below). Generally, after your Community User ID has been deleted (see below for details) or if you take the image without being logged in, the data is anonymous. However, in individual cases you may still be indirectly identifiable through the location data (e.g. if you take images on your private property); we will not undertake any efforts to identify you by this data, and will not co-operate in doing so unless we are legally obliged and ordered to do so by a competent authority or court.

The App provides Push Notifications that appear in the notification pane of your device. The notifications include information about responses to your Community contributions and important information from us. We do not use push notifications for advertising purposes. You can disable push notifications for individual Community contributions ‘unsubscribing’ from the respective contribution, or disable push notifications entirely in the App settings.

If you use the Community as a part of the App, all information above about the App is applicable to the Community as well,
