Section 4 Supplementary information for special uses of the mobile app

(1) Use of your personal data

  1. The app Hyperience® offers you the opportunity to download and use VR (Virtual Reality) content.

    In order to access the login area of the app and to be able to use this option, you have to register yourself by entering your e-mail address as well as your own password and to create a user account.

    For registration and log in we use a service named Auth0 (auth0.com). The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for Auth0 can be found at:

    Terms Of Use: https://auth0.com/web-terms

    Privacy Policy: https://auth0.com/privacy

    When you use the Hyperience app, we collect and store the following data after you have provided your prior consent, which you either provide directly or generate by using Hyperience®:

If you do not grant permission to use the aforementioned data, we will not use it. In that case, you will not be able to use the features of our app. You may grant or revoke your permission later in the settings of the app or operating system under "Personal Settings."

  1. If you allow access to this information, the mobile app will only access your information and transfer it to our server if it is necessary for the provision of the functionality. Your data will be treated confidentially and deleted if you revoke the rights to use or if the data is no longer required in order to provide the services and no legal retention requirements apply.

    The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR and for the processing of health data Art. 9 para. 1, 2 a) GDPR.



(2) Collection of your location data, geolocation

  1. Our offer includes so-called location based services, by means of which we offer you special offers that are tailored to your particular location. You can only use these functions after you have agreed via a pop-up that we can collect your location data by means of GPS and your IP address in anonymous form for the purposes of providing services.

    A so-called geo-localization, i.e. the assignment of a usage process to the place of the call, takes place exclusively on the basis of the anonymised IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states/regions. The geographic information obtained in this way can never be used to draw conclusions about the actual place of residence of the user.

    You can always allow or revoke the function in the settings of the app or of your operating system under "Settings". Your location will only be transferred to us if, when using the app, you use features that we can only offer you when your location is known.

    In particular this affects the use of wireless transmission technologies (Bluetooth LE) on the Android operating system, where location permissions are required by the manufacturer of the operating system.

  2. Your location data will not be used to create motion profiles beyond your current location.

(3) Forum and support via Zendesk

For this purpose, necessary data such as your last name, first name, postal address, telephone number and e-mail address is collected via our app in order to respond to the informational needs of our users.
