The Me App ("Me" / "the App") is a product of the Clarity UG (“We”/ “Us”). It offers you the opportunity to self-reflect on your well-being and your life situation through journaling, tracking psychological metrics and completing self-reflection exercises. Additionally the self-reflection & personality development is fostered by psychoeducational learning content that is both provided by the Clarity UG and third party content partners. The information that is gathered by that and by journaling is stored in your profile within the Me App.
All Data is collected, processed and stored in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 released on April 27th 2016 (“GDPR”).
The processing of your data serves exclusively the purpose of journaling and self-reflection. The Me App does not provide medical or psychotherapeutic consultation. It does not replace the consultation of a trained clinician or professional psychotherapist. Since the Clarity UG does not give medical advice within the scope of the Me App it is not bound to medical confidentiality.
Below you will find the essential information about the processing of your data in the Me App and your rights associated with it. Please read this privacy statement carefully, before giving your consent to it.

Your personal data, including the information that you enter into the Me App during journaling and completing self-reflection exercises, is stored locally and encrypted on your device. It will not be sent to a remote server without your consent.
In this way, your personal data is not accessible to Clarity UG or third parties. They cannot be viewed, analyzed or passed on by anyone other than yourself or other parties who have access to your device and have your login data for the Me App.
That is why you should make sure that your smartphone is not compromised in any way, including not providing root access to anyone (i.e. “jailbreaking”). Additionally you should not share your login credentials with anyone and store them at a secure location.
However, some functions within the Me App can only be offered by sending certain personal data points to servers of Clarity UG or partner companies.
For each user account that uses these functions, a random account ID is created and assigned to their user accounts.
You can use your random account ID to authenticate yourself pseudonymously to the servers of Clarity UG or our partner companies.
No further personal data points are assigned to your random account ID on the servers of Clarity UG, so that you remain pseudonymized for Clarity UG.
The functions that require data processing on servers are described individually in the following paragraphs.
The Me App will always inform you if a function requires the processing or storage of data points outside of your device. If you do not use these functions, no personal data will be processed or stored outside your device.

The notification is sent to verify the correct completion of the transaction and to prevent fraud. In addition, an anonymized purchase ID is transmitted, which allows Clarity UG to trace the online marketing channel and campaign through which you were referred to the Me App.
However, this anonymized purchase ID does not allow for the identification of your person.
The legal basis for this data processing is the fulfillment of our contract with you for the use of the Me App.
The processing of your personal data during the checkout process is obligatory for using the Me App. Any failure to supply the data required will block the finalization of the checkout process and thus your ability to use the Me App.

In addition, you have the option of providing your email address to support and, possibly, accelerate the troubleshooting process. However, this information is voluntary. If it is not provided, your information cannot be associated with a user.
We use the provided data to evaluate the technical circumstances of the reported bug.
The legal basis for this data processing is the fulfillment of our contract with you for the use of the Me App.

The Me App offers the functionality to backup the data that you enter into the app during journaling and completing self-reflection exercises. During this data processing a copy of your local database is created and encrypted. The app lets you export this encrypted backup to a third party data storage location. The encryption of the backup can only be decrypted with the “Recovery Key” that is unique to your user profile and provided to you in the “Settings” section of the Me App.
Since your data is processed and stored encrypted exclusively locally on your smartphone, your data can not be restored in the event of your smartphone being not functional or available to you anymore. Should you change your smartphone an exported and encrypted backup of your data enables you to transfer your data onto a new smartphone.
With regular automated storage of an encrypted backup, there is no risk of losing personal data due to carelessness.
The legal basis for this data processing is the fulfillment of our contract with you for the use of the Me App.
You alone decide how long the backup of your data will be stored in the third party data storage location of your choice. You can delete it at any time.
For users of the Premium version of the Me App those encrypted backups are regularly and automatically saved in their personal Google Drive cloud storage. The data processing involved in that process is handled by:
Users of the free version of the Me App can freely choose the time and storage location for their encrypted backup.
While your encrypted data is stored there, it can not be accessed by the provider of the data storage location without the “Recovery Key” that you should store at another safe location outside of the Me App.
The Me App offers the functionality to send a download link to acquaintances. In this data processing, a link to our product page in an app marketplace (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) or our website is sent to your acquaintance. We do not store any personal data during this data processing.

In order to listen to them, they must be downloaded to your device. Before you can request these audio files, your user account must be authenticated with the server of Clarity UG using your personal ID.
In the course of authentication, the IP address of your device is transmitted to the server of Clarity UG. However, this IP address is not recorded or stored.

The Me app offers the option of automatically importing fitness & wellness data into the Me app from third-party providers, such as the manufacturers of fitness trackers.
The import of fitness & wellness data is realized by an external service provider called Adept Labs, Inc. It offers a service called "Vital", which acts as a data accumulator. Vital allows data from various third-party fitness & wellness trackers to be integrated into the Me App in a standardized format from a single application programming interface (API).
During this data processing, the following personal data is processed:
To ensure the import and continuous availability of all historical fitness & wellness data, a pseudonymized copy of this data is stored on the server of the data accumulator.
To establish a connection between Vital and the user accounts in the Me App, a server is operated by Clarity UG. For each user who uses the import function, an ID is generated which allows linking the user accounts of the Me App to the associated user accounts with third-party providers of fitness & wellness data so that the fitness & wellness data can be imported into the Me App.
No fitness & wellness data or the IP addresses of the users are stored on the server of Clarity UG, but only the IDs that enable the matching of the user accounts.
This gives Clarity UG the technical possibility to access your fitness & wellness data on the server of the data accumulator with the help of the ID. However, this option will not be exercised unless there is an important reason for doing so. This includes requests for law enforcement, maintenance and rectification of technical problems as well as the recovery of lost data.
The option to import fitness & wellness data from third-party providers is offered as part of the Premium subscription. The imported data points are presented graphically within the Me app and displayed together with other data points stored in the Me app. This allows users to gain a more comprehensive overview of their well-being.
The legal basis for this data processing is the fulfillment of our contract with you for the use of the Me App.
The import and thus also the data processing of personal data from third-party providers is voluntary and only takes place on explicit consent.
Your personal data is stored on the aggregator's server until you explicitly delete it.
It is stored to enable a historical analysis of your fitness status and well-being within the Me App at any time.
Should you wish to have your personal data, including your fitness & wellness data deleted from both the servers of Clarity UG and the servers of the data aggregator, you can arrange for this by deleting your Me App user account in the "Settings" section of the Me App.
Please note that simply uninstalling the Me App from your device is not sufficient to delete the data stored outside your device.
The data processed as part of the import of fitness & wellness data is processed by the following external processors:
The services of Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL ("AWS Europe") are used to operate the server of Clarity UG. Data processing takes place within the European Union and in compliance with data protection regulations.
