2. Subject of data protection

The subject of data protection is personal data. Under Section 3(1) of the BDSG such data include individual information on personal or factual circumstances of a certain or determinable private individual. This includes, for instance, details such as the name, e-mail address or telephone number, or usage data, if applicable. Usage data are such data that are required or created in order to use the our app, such as details on the start, end and scope of the usage of our app.

3. Collection and use of data

Our APP is a non-obligatory log network. Darf Service are not available for the information related to the personal information of users, including but not limited to names (subscriber names, user names and screen names), addresses (including mailing addresses, residential address, business addresses) and telephones, unless the data you provide depending on the context of your interactions with us and the choices you make, including your privacy settings, and the products and features you use for the purpose of administering your subscription and for the purpose to enjoy our APP services. Except for the limited exceptions, we don't automatically collect any Personal Information from you. When you open the APP seeking for our APP services, the APP assigns a unique identifier to you for the service (such unique identifier just binds up with your device identification code, but does not tie to any other personal information of users). When you use the APP services, we will check your account information through this unique identifier to determine the level of service you have signed up for before establishing your APP connection. With some forms of payment, certain Mac version of our APP services may redirect you to the website of a third-party payment processor (namely PayPal) to complete the transaction. To understand what personal information the processor collects and stores, please refer to the respective processor's terms and privacy policy. Therefore, except for the limited exception above, we do not know any means or source of user's detailed payment for APP services (including any credit card or bank account number) or any billing records either. If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide. We may also receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. Darf Service uses your email address (if any depending on your choice) for the following reasons:

• To communicate with you about your APP services or respond to your communications.
• To send you updates and announcements.
• To send marketing information, such as Darf Service offers, surveys, invitations, and content about other matters in connection with Darf Service ("Marketing emails"). You may choose to not receive Marketing emails by following the opt-out procedure described in these emails.
