Privacy Policy for Apps

Version: August 2024

Statement in “Human Words”

All our apps and tools are intended for use “as is”.
If you choose to use our apps and tools, then it is important that you read and agree with the terms laid out in this privacy policy.

All our apps are made for the described purpose. Therefore there are no ads, marketing features or hidden personal data collection.
Any collected information will not be sold or shared with any other third party.

Purpose of Data Collection

For the reason of keeping our apps stable and reliable, for validating the license (if the app is license protected) and for supporting development with some anonymized telemetry, automated data transmission is necessary. If not stated otherwise, our apps are sending data for (one of) these purposes:

Automated Update-Check

On every start, the app is contacting our web server to check if a newer version is available.
Transmission is TLS/SSL encrypted. Except for your IP address (see section Server log files), no personal data is sent to our web server.

License-Validation and -Renewal

If the app is protected by a license key, on every start the app is contacting our web server to check if the license is valid and renews the lifetime.
Transmission is TLS/SSL encrypted. Except for your IP address (see section Server log files) and the license identifier, no personal data is sent to our web server.


This section is an addition to the main privacy policy at http://www.mschoeffmann.com/legal/privacy/ to cover usage of the provided apps and tools.

3. Data collection in our apps

All our apps and tools do not require you to provide us with any personally identifiable information and will not collect any such information from your device. All data that you enter into the our apps and tools will be stored on your device and any backup storage system you use (e.g. Apple’s iCloud) and only accessible on your device and any other devices with access to your backup storage system. Neither the developer, nor any other party will have access to this data other than who has direct access to your device or your backup storage.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in “server log files”. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data will not be combined with data from other sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. Therefore server log files have to be stored.
