Privacy Policy (Biotaktix App)
This page supplements our general privacy policy, which contains all further information on the processing of personal data by Biotaktix. Together, both documents constitute our complete privacy policy in accordance with the GDPR.
Collection and Processing of Location Data
Our app collects location data from your device, provided you have explicitly enabled this feature. Location tracking is used to document the vehicle or site location in connection with weighing operations, as well as to trace transport routes and the origin of the weighed material.
The collected location data is transmitted to our servers when a weighing ticket is created and linked to the respective weighing ticket. It is then accessible to the responsible facility operator. Only the location data recorded between the two most recent weighing operations is stored. If no previous weighing has taken place, the location data of the last four hours is stored.
The processing of location data is based on your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. No data is shared with third parties. The data is stored exclusively on our own servers.
Background Location Tracking
If you activate tracking mode in the app settings and consent to background location tracking, the app is able to collect location data even when it is not actively in use in the foreground. This feature is intended to provide a complete record of a vehicle's transport route and to make the origin of the material recorded on the weighing ticket traceable — for example, from which starting point a transport to the facility was made and which route was taken.
Background tracking is disabled by default and is only used after your explicit, separate consent. The location data collected in this way is used exclusively for the described purpose of transport route and origin documentation and is linked to the respective weighing ticket.
You can disable background tracking at any time in your device's system settings.
Deletion of Location Data
You can delete the location data stored on our servers at any time. Deletion can be initiated directly in the app settings. Once deleted, the data is irrevocably removed and is no longer available to the facility operator.
The processing of location data is based on your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by withdrawing the location permission in your device's system settings and deleting the stored data in the app settings. No data is shared with third parties.
Your Rights
In connection with the processing of your location data, you have the following rights:
- Access (Art. 15 GDPR): You may request information at any time about which location data we have stored about you.
- Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You may request the correction of inaccurate data.
- Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You may request the deletion of your location data — or do so yourself directly in the app settings.
- Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): Under certain conditions, you may request the restriction of processing.
- Objection (Art. 21 GDPR): Since the processing is based on your consent, you may revoke it at any time with effect for the future.
- Right to lodge a complaint (Art. 77 GDPR): You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In NRW, this is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information NRW (LDI NRW).
