We, the MesziApps (Gábor Meszesán, 1106 Budapest, Gépmadár utca 11 9/54, Hungary) collect data from our visitors and users when they visit our website, mesziapps.hu, or use our applications, as far as it is necessary. In the following data protection declaration you will learn what we are doing with your data, so called personal data, and why we do this. Furthermore, we explain to you, how we protect your data, when data will be deleted and which rights you have thanks to the data protection.
In advance: We adhere to the data protection laws and protect your sphere of personal privacy in the best way possible. But we also want to be completely honest: the internet lives from data exchange and still displays many security leaks. Even when your data is encrypted while you are visiting our website, there is always a remaining risk, at the latest with the exchange of foreign websites. If you visit a different website, for example, via a link on our website, please consider that this data protection declaration at hand will not be valid for the foreign website.
This privacy policy aims to be as general and comprehensive as possible. However, the fundamental goal of MesziApps is to collect and process the minimum amount of user data technically possible while providing its services.
In this approach, wherever possible, we do not collect any data. Where data collection is technically unavoidable, we strive to collect only anonymous data. If certain statistical data is absolutely necessary for our work, it will always be and remain exclusively anonymous. We only store data that qualifies as personal data when it is unavoidable due to the nature of the service, and when the user explicitly requests us to collect and store it (because this is what he/she expects from the service). Examples of such data could include photos uploaded by the user to one of our dating-style applications.
Therefore, it can easily happen that when you, as our user, read this privacy statement, a significant portion of it may not be relevant to your case, as some of the things mentioned may not yet apply, or may not be relevant to the service you are using. Please consider this privacy statement as a framework, which in the long term outlines the scope within which we plan to operate for our future work. Therefore, we kindly ask for your acceptance of it, even if some parts may not yet be relevant to you. Our privacy statement should be considered part of the general terms and conditions, so its acceptance is mandatory if you wish to use our services. Should you have any questions, we are happy to assist you.

If you only want to have a look around at our website, we do not gather any personal data with exception of the data your browser is transmitting in order to enable the visit of the website. This concerns especially:
•the approximate localisation based on the IP-area (only country of the port)
•Internet-provider (for example, Telstra, Vodafone or Comcast)
•Date and Time (for example, 11:45 am, 25 May 2018)
•Browser (for example Chrome or Safari)
The technical data raised cannot be traced back to you and only serve anonymous, statistic purposes to optimise our website.
Purpose of the temporary storage of data at the beginning is to secure the connection as well as the accessibility and the correct depiction of our website.
Legal basis is the so called legitimate interest in the frame of the above mentioned security measures, which has also been verified in accordance with the European Data Protection Requirements from Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. GDPR. In accordance with that our interest in a secure and disruption-free provision of our services permits the utilization of the above mentioned technical data, which constitute due to their nature only a very small interference with the visitors’ informational self-determination.
When you use our apps, we will collect and save certain data about you, to make our apps and services available, improve your experience and provide customized offers for you (for example, certain offers in the app you might be interested in based on your activity in the app):
•Device identification (hash composed of device identifier and time stamp), as well as user-related device identifiers (user IDs)
•Progress in the app and profile behavior (for example, how fast you reached a certain level)
•In-app purchases
•App version (for example, v1.23.111)
•Language settings (for example, German system language)
•Approximate location, based on device language and time zone
•Date and time of the sessions (for example, 11:45 am on May 25, 2018) *
•Operating system (for example, macOS, Android)
•Hardware (for example, Intel processor)
To protect your privacy, we delete or anonymize most technical data and identifiers in our database after each session. All other data are used exclusively for the statistical optimization of the app, displaying interest-based ads (find out more in the section “Customized Advertising”) and offering our users a customized experience (e.g. developing the app in a way you will probably like).
The purpose of saving these data for a limited period of time is to establish a connection to our servers, which is necessary for the provision of our services and to offer you a more personal experience.
The legal basis is the contract with you, according to Art. 6, para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
When you download our mobile apps or make in-app purchases via a distribution platform (e.g. the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store), this platform will receive certain information about your account, such as your name, device type, e-mail address and payment information. We have no influence over this data collection and are not responsible for it.
Some of our app features require access to certain features and services on your device. Depending on your operating system, it may be necessary to accept certain app permissions. We will now explain what these permissions mean:
a) iOS
Push-Notifications: When you select okay in the pop-up window 'Allow push-notifications', you allow the app to inform you about certain events, even if the app isn't currently running. You will get a notification in form of sounds, messages and symbols (a picture or a number on the app icon).
Game Center: Game apps may offer a connection to Apple's Game Center service, which is subject to Apple's privacy statement. You can read up on them here: https://www.apple.com/privacy . If you use the service to get notifications about achievements, for example, the information shared by you will be visible to other users and can be read, collected and used by them. You should think about which personal information you wish to share.
b) Android
External Storage (modify or delete your external storage, read content of your external storage): These functions allow an app to temporarily store content on your device. The app will only use its own storage space – other data in the external storage will not be deleted, modified or read.
Internet Connection (retrieve internet data, full network access, show network and WiFi connections): These functions allow the app to retrieve data from the internet and determine if there is an internet connection via a WiFi network or a mobile data connection. This is meant to prevent the app from using large amounts of data, which could exhaust your data volume.
Disable Sleep Mode: This function allows the app to disable your device's sleep mode (e.g. to watch videos without the screen going dark).
To protect your privacy, all app permissions are optional, with the exception of technical permissions necessary for running the app. You can limit them at any time (by tapping on “no” or “do not accept”). You can also withdraw them later by changing the corresponding settings on your device.
The purpose of the request for app permissions is to make the app available to you and to keep you posted when it comes to app updates, app-related news and notifications.
The legal basis for mandatory technical permissions is the fulfillment of a contract according to Art. 6, para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The legal basis for optional permissions is your approval according to Art. 6, para. 1, lit. a GDPR.

Some of the MesziApps-services might be embedded in social networks (for example Facebook). The services will be called there, for example, “apps” or “applications”. Furthermore some of these services might provide additional features, which allow in connection with a certain network the interaction between players (e.g. Twitch extensions). For its data processing and possible data transmission in accordance with data protection, the respective network itself is responsible and enlightens the user in its own data protection declaration. (compare Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php; Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/p/legal/privacy-notice/).
We would like to point out, however, that you might be asked by the network to agree to the transmission of personal data if you want to use an integrated MesziApps-services app or additional features in the scope of a network. In the case of Facebook, the following data can be affected:
•first name, surname, sex, birth date
•profile picture or corresponding URL
•log-in email address, which has been used at the registration of Facebook
•location and access devices
•user-ID- number, which is linked to public accessible information (on Facebook)

MesziApps will only process such data if it is absolutely necessary for providing you with thes services or certain additional features. MesziApps points out that you can influence the extent of information yourself, which the network is transferring, through the corresponding privacy settings. Exertion of influence could especially be exercised through
•controlling, which information your Facebook friends share with you/ about you,

As a measure of protection, transmission of the data entered by you will take place via an encrypted connection to the platform in question. We do not use the registration to access personal data like friend lists, or contacts, or for saving them for our own purposes. A permanent connection between your user account and the user account of the platform does not take place.
These networks are subjected to the EU Standardized Contractual Terms and Conditions and by doing so a possible data transfer to the USA or another country is legitimated (for further information please consult the the respective data protection declarations). Which data is raised by networks in the scope of the registration or how the data is connected, is not known to us. Further details can be found in the data protection declaration of Facebook (https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php) and Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468496).

Thereafter, a response of the payment provider is sent to MesziApps, in which the successful completion of the payment process is confirmed. Normally, we don't receive person-related transaction data from the payment providers.
However, we point out that we will save the IP address of the customer when a payment process is confirmed. The sole objective is the fulfilment of our tax obligations.

The information generated by cookies about the use of this website is transferred to and stored in a Google server based in the USA. However, your IP address is shortened before the usage statistics are evaluated. Therefore, no conclusions can be drawn about your person.
