These may be the result of technical necessities, contractual requirements or express user request. (Legal basis is Article 6(1)(1)(f) of the GDPR):

• Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the request (specific page)
• Access status/HTTP status code
• Data volume transferred in each case
• Website from which the request originates

The data is deleted when you delete the app. Legal basis for the use of local storage is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) of the GDPR, to provide you with a fully functioning offering within the app.

Data belonging to you that is required to use the app is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to meet the purpose for which it was collected or as soon as you remove the app from your end device. Your data will be blocked instead of deleted if there are legal or factual obstacles preventing its deletion (e.g. special retention obligations).

6.       Transfer of data

No transfer, sale or other transmission of your personal data to third parties shall take place, unless it is necessary for the purposes of performing the contract, or you have expressly consented to it.
