On this page we inform you about the privacy policy of the LEDVANCE SMART + WiFi App for Android and iOS ("App"). The App is offered by LEDVANCE GmbH, Parkring 29 - 33, 85748 Garching near Munich, Germany ("LEDVANCE GmbH", "we" or "us").
1. Scope of processing personal data
The app is used for technical control of SMART+ devices and provides direct technical support for users. Multi-user access is enabled.
The processing of personal data takes the form of creating a user account. The data is also stored for user support. The following personal data may be collected:
The following data is processed when the app is started:
The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your device automatically transmits when you use the app. The stored information is:
Third parties do not have access to server log files. This data is not merged with other data sources.
2. Purpose of the processing
The processing of personal data allows the users of the App to have technical control of SMART+ devices and direct contact for technical support.
3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in the context of the creation and use of a user account is the consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
The processing of technical data serves to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company in providing a functional application for users and is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR as the legal basis for the processing.
4. Duration of storage
The personal data will be stored until the account is deleted, exclusively for the above-mentioned purpose. With the deletion of the account by the user all data will be removed.
5. Objection and erasure
The user is given the opportunity to object to the processing by e-mail request. By deleting the account all data will be removed.
1. Description and scope of data processing
Each time our app is accessed, our system automatically collects data and relevant information from the computer system of the calling device.
The following data is collected:
This data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
2. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary for the delivery of the app to the device of the user. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be kept for the duration of the session.
The storage in logfiles is done to ensure the functionality of the app. The data is also used to optimise the app and to ensure the security of our IT systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place.
For the aforementioned purposes, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of data in compliance with Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and logfiles is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. The session is complete when the collection of data for the provision of the app is accomplished.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is not possible.
5. Objection and erasure
The collection of data for the provision of the app as well as the storage of data in log files are essential for the operation of the app. Therefore, the user may not object to the aforementioned processes.

Cookies are stored on the user's device and transmitted to our server by the user. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our app, it is possible that not all functions of the app can be used to their full extent.

The app is hosted on servers of a service provider commissioned by us.
Our service providers Cloud built on AWS – Amazon Web Services, Inc., 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle WA 98109, United States
The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you use the app. The stored information is:
This data will not be merged with other data sources. The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The apps operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his app - for this the server log files must be recorded.
The server of the app is geographically located in Frankfurt, Germany.
We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (e.g. the postal code used for registration or ordering) to approach regional target groups (so-called "geotargeting").
The regional target group approach is used, for example, to automatically display regional offers or advertisements that often are more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and any other information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus providing offers and advertising with greater relevance for our users.
Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) are merely processed and not stored separately.
You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate localization. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate a location localisation in the corresponding browser settings (as far as this is supported by the respective browser).
We use geotargeting on our app for the following purposes:
1. Description and scope of data processing
We offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The following data is collected as part of the registration process:

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.
This is the case for the data collected during the registration process if the registration is cancelled or modified on our app.
5. Objection and erasure
As a user you have the possibility to cancel the registration at any time. You can request a change to the data stored about you at any time.
The user can request the deletion of his account within his account via a corresponding button.
