Privacy Policy The New Beed

This privacy policy explains how we handle your personal data when you use our app. We collect, process, and protect your data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

​

1. What Data Do We Collect?

In the "The New Beed" app, we collect the following data:

​

Authentication Data:

  • Email Address: We ask for your email address when creating an account or logging in with Google or Apple accounts.

  • Password: If you choose to create an account with an email and password, we collect your password (encrypted) to verify your identity.​

Third-Party Login Data:

  • Google Account / Apple ID: If you log in with your Google or Apple account, we collect basic account information such as your name, email address, and possibly your profile picture (depending on the permissions set by you for these login methods).
     

Usage Data:

  • In-App Interaction: We collect anonymous data about how you interact with the app, such as how long you spend in the app, and which features you use. This data is used to improve the app and provide you with a personalized experience.
     

Email Address for Communication:

  • Email Address: We use your email address to keep you informed about updates, new features, and online lesson material. We do this only if you have given your consent when creating your account or logging in for the first time. 

​

2. Why Do We Collect This Data?

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Authentication: To create an account and grant you access to the app.

  • Communication: To keep you updated about app changes, new lesson content, and other relevant news via email.

  • App Improvement: To analyze app usage and improve the user experience based on how the app is used.

  • Support: To provide technical assistance and answer any questions you may have regarding the app.
     

The processing of personal data is based on the following legal grounds:

  • Your Consent: When you sign up for the app and agree to receive email communications, we have your explicit consent to process your data for communication purposes.

  • Contract Performance: The data processing is necessary for the performance of the user agreement (your account and the use of the app).

 

3. How Do We Secure Your Data?

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These include:

  • Password Encryption: Your password is encrypted and stored securely.

  • Secure Connections: All communication between your device and our servers is secured with SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology.

  • Access Restrictions: Only authorized personnel have access to your data, and only for the purposes described above.

 

4. Sharing Data

We only share your data with third parties when necessary for app functionality or technical support. These may include:

  • Google Firebase (Authentication): We use Google Firebase for user authentication. Google may collect data as outlined in their own privacy policy, so we recommend reviewing their privacy statement.

  • Email Service Providers: We use an external email service to send updates and news. This service has access to your email address but is contracted to use the data only for these purposes.

  • Third-Party Service Providers for Technical Support: If you require technical assistance, we may involve third parties to provide support. These parties will only have access to the data necessary to help you.

 

We ensure that all third parties comply with the requirements of the GDPR and handle your data securely and confidentially.

 

5. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have several rights concerning your personal data:

  • Right of Access: You can request to know what data we are processing about you.

  • Right of Rectification: You can ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can request that we delete your data, for example, if you wish to delete your account.

  • Right to Restrict Processing: You can ask us to temporarily restrict the processing of your data.

  • Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

  • Right to Object: You can object to the processing of your data based on legitimate interests.

  • Right to Withdraw Consent: If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
     

To exercise your rights, you can contact us using the contact details provided at the end of this policy.

 

6. How Long Do We Retain Your Data?

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required to comply with legal obligations. For example:

  • Account Data: We retain your account data as long as you actively use the app. If you delete your account, we will remove your data within a reasonable time unless we are legally required to keep it longer.

  • Email Communication: We retain your email address as long as you have given consent to receive email updates. You can unsubscribe from these updates at any time.

 

7. International Data Transfers

Because we use Google Firebase for authentication, your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where Google operates its servers. Google complies with the GDPR through model contract clauses or other mechanisms to ensure adequate protection for your data.

 

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. When significant changes occur, we will notify you through an in-app message or via email so that you are always informed about how we process your data.
