Depending on the operating system, permission to access individual functions and information is requested during the installation process. The access permissions include location, notifications and mobile data.
These authorizations can be partially withdrawn manually in the settings of the end device. However, it must be taken into account that the Flirtfox app can only be used to a limited extent or not at all without the corresponding approvals.

We use data for advertising purposes in two ways:
On our platform, we display self-advertising to our users and also inform them by e-mail, e.g. about one-off promotions, reduced package prices or similar offers. To be able to display suitable offers, we use information that is provided to us by the user (such as profile data) and information that we automatically receive as a result of using our platform.
At any time, the user can object to the use of the service for advertising purposes by deactivating personalized advertising in the app settings under Privacy, or in his device settings.
The data will only be passed on as described under paragraph 6.
The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest of Flirtfox according to Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR.
EasyWeb s.r.o. has chosen a freemium model for Flirtfox, i.e. a basic version of Flirtfox can be used by any user without paying a fee. However, the user is shown advertising in the free version. The advertising displayed on Flirtfox includes its own advertising content (e.g. via Flirtfox' VIP membership).
EasyWeb s.r.o. only shares data with third parties in exceptional cases when this is urgently necessary for the function of Flirtfox. Otherwise, no data will be shared with other third parties.
EasyWeb s.r.o. bases the processing and disclosure of the above data on the fulfillment of the contract with the user, his or her consent and the legitimate interest of Flirtfox.
EasyWeb s.r.o. provides its service in the Freemium model, which means that parts of Flirtfox are free of charge. To enable users to use the Flirtfox platform free of charge, Flirtfox displays advertising and uses personal data for this purpose in accordance with the above-mentioned provisions.
A prerequisite for the transfer of the above data to the recipients is always that contractual, legal, technical and organizational measures are taken to ensure that the data is used exclusively in a manner that complies with data protection laws.
By using the app, the user agrees to the transfer of his data, which is necessary in exceptional cases, already in the free version.
EasyWeb s.r.o. has limited its selection of data to those data that, even if they become known, whether through breach of law or hacking attacks on EasyWeb s.r.o. partners, do not have a high level of sensitivity for individual users. For this reason, Flirtfox only passes on the data in a pseudonymized form, i.e. individual users can only be identified with a great deal of technical effort and by breaking the law.
Flirtfox only passes on data that the user has voluntarily made public in the Flirtfox app and that is therefore recognizable by the user as being of low sensitivity, and device and connection data that by its very nature is not sensitive.
The Flirtfox app was developed technologically in a way that it does not require cookies and therefore does not store cookies.
EasyWeb s.r.o. offers the user the possibility to sign up for Flirtfox with Facebook Connect. To register, the user is redirected to the Facebook page (operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA), where he/she logs in with his/her user data, if not already logged in. By clicking the user's name, the respective Facebook profile and the user profile at Flirtfox are then linked together. Through the link, EasyWeb s.r.o. automatically receives the user's data from Facebook in the form of the e-mail address and other data within the user's public Facebook profile. The public Facebook profile contains data that the user has made available to the public on Facebook. Typically, the public Facebook profile includes the following data: Name, profile picture, gender, language, country, age range, Facebook ID, friends, likes and relationship status.
From this data transferred from Facebook, EasyWeb s.r.o. uses the e-mail address, Facebook ID, profile picture, likes and birthday. This information is used for the user profile. Further information about Facebook Connect and privacy settings can be found in the Facebook Privacy Notice and Terms of Use at www.facebook.com/policy.php.
The legal basis for data processing is then the consent of the user according to Art. 6 I lit. a) GDPR.
We use "Google Ads" (formerly Google AdWords), a service of Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google Ads enables us to draw attention to our attractive offers by means of advertising on external websites. This enables us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called "AdServers". We use so-called AdServer-Cookies for this purpose, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of the ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you reach Flirtfox via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: Unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of an ads client and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the client can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. A different cookie is assigned to each ad client. Cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of ad clients. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned above. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. By means of these evaluations we can recognize which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. To our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of Flirtfox or clicked on an ad from us. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out and save your IP address.
We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to deliver ads that are relevant and interesting to you, to improve campaign performance reports and to achieve fair calculation of advertising costs. This is also our legitimate interest in the processing of the above data by the third party provider. You can prevent the installation of cookies by deleting existing cookies and deactivating the storage of cookies in your web browser settings. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of Flirtfox to their full extent. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your web browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" (www.google.com/settings/ads). We would like to point out that this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies. In addition, you can deactivate interest-based ads by clicking on the link http://optout.aboutads.info. Please note that this setting will also be deleted if you delete your cookies.

We cooperate with external service providers within the scope of data processing. This is usually done on the basis of so-called contract processing; in which we remain responsible for data processing. We check each of these service providers in advance for the measures they have taken for data protection and data security and thus ensure that the contractual regulations for the protection of personal data provided for by law are observed.
The following categories of recipients currently receive personal information from us:

The Privacy Shield Agreement, the Adequacy Decision and the EU standard contractual clauses can be viewed on the website of the EU Commission (ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection_en).
To combat fake profiles, illegal activities (fraud, extortion, prostitution, etc.), SPAM (third-party advertising) and to ensure the integrity and stability of the Flirtfox platform, personal data is used as follows:
Flirtfox supports the aforementioned data processing on the basis of art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Flirtfox has a legitimate interest in keeping its platform stable and free of SPAM, legal infringements and fake profiles.
When the user profile is deleted (note: not by deleting the Flirtfox App!) or when we are notified accordingly, all collected data of the user is deleted or made anonymous. In addition, the user can at any time delete individual data in the profile himself or request us to do so via a corresponding notification.
Excluded from the deletion are data that must be kept due to legal regulations, for the execution of contracts or for the fulfillment of contracts with other users. Therefore, in the event of a deletion, Flirtfox does not delete the following data in particular immediately, but only after the expiry of a period of time:
When do we delete data that a user has shared with other users?
We delete data that is publicly accessible in user profiles, e.g. profile pictures, pictures in the stream and the profile data as soon as immediately according to the above standards.
We cannot simply delete information that a user has non-publicly shared with other users on the Flirtfox app without violating the rights of other users. Therefore, chat content is only deleted after both users have deleted each other.
Deletion from the production databases and thus from the Flirtfox interface is immediate; however, it can take up to 14 days before deletion from all server layers, cache memories and backup databases of Flirtfox occurs.
If deletion is not possible, the data will be made anonymous or blocked.
EasyWeb s.r.o. reserves the right to check profile files before deleting them and, if necessary, to save them if, based on certain facts, there is a suspicion that the user profiles are being used in a manner that violates the law or the contract. This serves to protect the users of the services of EasyWeb s.r.o.
Regardless of the deletion of data triggered by the user's profile deletion, Flirtfox automatically deletes historical data that is no longer required for the fulfillment of the contract (e.g. historical location data and IP data) at regular intervals.
EasyWeb s.r.o. creates so-called backups to secure the data stocks, which are overwritten after 14 days and thus permanently deleted. If these backups contain log files, they are also deleted. If a user profile is completely deleted, the log files are also deleted.
EasyWeb s.r.o. takes user confidence and data protection extremely seriously. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure of user data, to maintain data integrity, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, EasyWeb s.r.o. implements appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the information collected by EasyWeb s.r.o..
To ensure the best possible protection of the user's data, the Flirtfox app uses a secure SSL connection, i.e. the data is transmitted in encrypted form between the servers and the browser as well as between the servers and the app.
By registering with Flirtfox, the user consents to the collection, storage and processing of his personal data in accordance with this privacy policy and the terms and conditions. The user must expressly declare this consent when creating the user profile. This consent, as well as the entire process of creating the user profile, is recorded by EasyWeb s.r.o.
The user can revoke his consent at any time with effect for the future. This can be done by deleting the user profile (not the Flirtfox App), at the specified locations in the Flirtfox App within the user profile or by sending us an e-mail or letter:
According to the applicable laws, the user has a right to free information about the personal data stored by him and, if applicable, a right to correction and/or deletion or transfer of this data.
For this purpose, the user can contact info@flirtfox.com by e-mail, for example.
The user also has the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by the Flirtfox App.
EasyWeb s.r.o. will update this privacy policy as necessary. The use of user data is subject to the current version, which can be found at flirtfox.com/privacy. In the event of a change to this statement regarding a material area (e.g. change of authorizations, new functions, a new contact person, etc.), the user will be notified by e-mail to the e-mail address linked to the user profile. If the user continues to access and use Flirtfox after these changes take effect, the user agrees to be legally bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
In the event of questions regarding the collection, processing or use of personal data, the disclosure, correction, blocking or deletion of data as well as the revocation of consents granted, the user should - if applicable - delete his user profile (not the Flirtfox App) or change it at the specified points in the Flirtfox App within the user profile or contact us by e-mail or letter:
