This Base Privacy Policy applies to the general local use of the JoVi App without enabled cloud or Pro features. It covers in particular local solo use on the end device as well as generally available export, scan, help, and content functions.
Separate Cloud Privacy Notices additionally apply to cloud features such as sign-in. Separate Pro Privacy Notices additionally apply to paid Pro features and subscriptions such as team synchronization and server-supported collaboration. From a technical perspective, Pro features are always also cloud features.
In local base use, the app stores data especially using local app storage, Hive, and SharedPreferences. This may in particular include:
As a rule, these data remain on your end device as long as you do not activate separate cloud functions.
The app offers export, import, download, open, and share functions. In this context, the following may in particular be processed or transferred to targets selected by you:
.jovi formatIf you use a share, open, or save function, data are transferred to the target app, file storage, or system function selected by you. From that point on, their data protection conditions additionally apply.
The app uses a scanner function for QR-based or camera-supported processes. The camera is only used if you actively call the corresponding function.
To provide the base functions, technical metadata may also be processed, in particular:
According to the reviewed code, there is no separate use of advertising tracking, advertising SDKs, or classic user profiling.
The app uses several services provided by GitHub, Inc. / Microsoft. The Community screen fetches its content, such as texts, cards, and video IDs, from GitHub servers. The online versions of the legal documents can also be opened via GitHub Pages. Every connection to GitHub servers technically involves the transmission of your device’s IP address.
In the Community screen, YouTube videos are displayed as embedded players directly within the app. For this purpose, the package youtube_player_flutter is used, which internally loads a YouTube player via a WebView (https://www.youtube.com/embed/...). When the Community screen is opened and the relevant section becomes visible, the device automatically establishes a connection to Google/YouTube servers. The following may in particular be transmitted:
The processing of data by Google and YouTube is governed by Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
In base use, we process data in particular for the following purposes:
Where the GDPR applies, we rely in particular on the following legal bases for processing:
According to the reviewed code status, the following external services are particularly used or integrated in base use:
Depending on the service accessed and the technical infrastructure, processing may also take place outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. The specific third-country processing is governed by the privacy information of the respective provider. Those notices may also contain further information on the transfer mechanisms used in each case, such as adequacy decisions or other appropriate safeguards.
Locally stored data generally remain on your end device until you delete them in the app, uninstall the app, or reset local storage.
If you use export, open, or sharing functions, further retention after the transfer depends on the target app, file storage, or system function selected by you.
Where you open online legal texts, community content, or embedded videos, the retention period for the related connection and usage data depends on the respective external provider.
The reviewed project status uses local storage mechanisms, app-internal state management, and platform-specific system protections in base use. Please note that no electronic data processing is completely secure. You should protect end devices appropriately and not share sensitive exports without safeguards.
Providing locally processed data is required for the respective function. Without entering menus, orders, or other content, certain functions cannot be used meaningfully.
Subject to the legal requirements, you have in particular the following rights:
If you wish to exercise your rights, please use the privacy contact address stated above.
This Base Privacy Policy may be amended for the future if factual reasons require it, especially due to changes in base functions, external integrations, or legal requirements.
According to the currently reviewed project status, no automated decision-making including profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR takes place that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
If you use the app in the context of a business, club, or other organization and enter personal data of employees, temporary staff, team members, guests, or other third parties, you may have your own data protection obligations. These may in particular include:
