a. Automatic collecting and storing of data
For technical reasons, certain data is always passed on to us from your computer as the communication takes place on the internet. This includes the date and time you visited our website, your browser type, the browser settings, the operating system, the previous website you visited and the quantity of data transmitted.
This information will only be stored to use in the case of an error and will be deleted after 30 days. This information is usually not personal data.

In the context of the registration, it is necessary that you provide various personal data, which we will store and use. While doing so, we only require you to provide such information in order for you to be able to take advantage of your app.
In the registration process we collect and use your email address or similar registration ID and possibly ask you to choose and create a password. Additionally, you can also provide us with your name and company handle. We may offer more registration alternatives in the future, which will ask different, clearly labeled information (such as using your mobile number instead of your e-mail address). We use the above-named data to authenticate you as the legitimate user of your app.
Furthermore, we (automatically) store certain activities during your use of the app. This includes the user-ID, your login date and time, your browser type, the browser settings and the operating system. Unless you give us permission to continue to store and use your data, we delete the above-mentioned information as soon as you delete or deactivate your user account.
