Privacy Policy – WIEnida
Last updated: 27 October 2026
1. Controller
Andre Legenstein-Berkembrock, Bloch-Bauer-Promenade 17, 1100 Vienna, Austria, email: ihreberatung@yahoo.de. There is no data protection officer.
2. Summary
The app needs no account and does not ask for your name, email address or phone number. What you collect in the app (stamps, photos, notes, quiz results, profile) stays on your device. When content, map, weather and departures are loaded, our server and the services named below receive technically necessary data such as your IP address.
3. Stored on your device
Stamps with the date of your visit, your own photos and notes, favorites, your own routes, profile (name and profile picture, optional), quiz results (up to 20 rounds and your best score), your selection of photos, the cover image, the share target you used last, and settings. This is not transmitted to us. You can remove the profile photo, name, photos and notes in the app, as well as favorites and routes. Everything else you delete via the system settings (clear app data) or by uninstalling the app.
4. Our server
The app loads cities, categories, stops, stop images and audio from smartergohome.com. The server is hosted by our hosting provider Hostinger in the Netherlands (EU), which processes this data on our behalf. In doing so, the web server processes your IP address, date and time, the requested address (it reveals, for example, which stop you are listening to), the identifier of the app’s software library (user agent), the country the request comes from, the size of the response, the status code and the response time. No location, no device ID, no account. The purpose is to provide and secure the app; the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The access logs are stored only for a limited time.
5. Map and navigation
Map tiles are loaded by Google Maps (Google Ireland Limited, Dublin). Your IP address and SDK data are sent to Google in the process. Google may also transfer data to third countries and relies on the safeguards provided for by the EU. If you switch on your location on the map, the blue dot is calculated using your device’s location services. Their processing depends on your device settings and the privacy notices of Google or Apple. If you tap Navigation, the app opens Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze. The destination and, for routes, up to ten stops are included in the address. If you choose “My location” as the starting point under “Show route”, the app passes your current position in the address to Google Maps or Apple Maps. This only happens when you tap. We do not receive this data. According to the SDK’s privacy manifest, Google also processes a device identifier and other data, which Google links to an identifier, as well as usage, performance and crash data, which are not linked. The purpose is to provide the map and for analysis, not for tracking.
6. Location
The app asks for it only when you switch it on for the blue dot, distances, routes or automatic stamps. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw in your device settings. The position is used on the device and is not sent to our server.
7. Camera and photos
For your own photo for a stamp, the app asks for access to the camera and the photo library. The photos stay on your device.
8. Weather, departures, open data
Weather: Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com) receives the coordinates of the city (Vienna), not your position, plus your IP address and technical request data. Departures: Wiener Linien receive the stop identifier and your IP address. Open data of the City of Vienna: the app loads map points (for example toilets, fountains, sights) from data.wien.gv.at without your position. It loads preview images from the addresses given in the datasets; these servers see your IP address. The legal basis in each case is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the purpose is the functioning of the app.
9. Sharing
Cards for the recap, the daily sheet and the quiz result are created only on your device and handed to the app you choose. Your name and profile picture appear on them only if you switch them on before sharing. We do not receive a copy. The app you choose is responsible for any further processing. The images are kept in the temporary storage of your device. The app deletes images older than 24 hours at the next app start or when the share view is opened.
10. Advertising
This version of the app shows no advertising and does not start an advertising SDK.
11. No analytics
We do not use any crash reporting, analytics or tracking services of our own in the app. The app does not contain an advertising SDK. The data processing of the Google Maps SDK is described in section 5.
12. Fonts
The fonts are built into the app; there is no retrieval from Google Fonts.
13. External sites
Links to websites of sights and to legal texts open in the browser, where the privacy rules of those sites apply.
14. Children
The app is not aimed at children under 14 years of age.
15. Your rights
Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection and withdrawal of consent: ihreberatung@yahoo.de. Complaints can be addressed to the Austrian Data Protection Authority (www.dsb.gv.at).
16. Changes
This policy will be adapted when the app changes. The date is shown at the top.
