However, we can provide your personal data to third parties, when this is essential for providing the app to you or for carrying out your instructions, such as for making payments by means of payment providers for paid services. We may provide “aggregated anonymous data” about the usage of the app to third parties for such purposes as well, as it deems to be appropriate. “Aggregated anonymous data” is data that cannot be traced back to you and which therefore does not count as personal data. For instance, aggregated anonymous data may be used to better understand how users use the app.

The app is provided by using hosting services of Amazon and/or Microsoft.
