This privacy statement was last updated on August 20th, 2020.
The protection of your personal data is very important to us. With this privacy policy we inform you about which data we collect from you, how we use it, and how you can object to the use of your data.
When we say “VIOGY”, “we”, “our” or “us”, we mean VIOGY UG (haftungsbeschränkt).
When we talk about “our App” or the “App” in this document, we refer to the beazzt app of VIOGY.
By using our app you agree to the collection, processing and use of data according to the following description.
1. Responsible Authority
VIOGY UG (haftungsbeschränkt) (Metterzimmerer Straße 78, 74343 Sachsenheim, Germany) collects and processes your data as the responsible body.
If you have any questions or suggestions concerning privacy in our app, please feel free to contact us: privacy@viogy.com
2. Device Permissions
Our app creates music videos from your videos and your music tracks. For this we need access to your photo library and media library.
In order for our app to be able to create music videos from the videos stored on your device, you have to grant access to your photo library. When you create your first music video, we ask you for your permission. For this purpose, your videos will only be analyzed and processed locally on your device. No video content or data determined as part of the analysis of the content of your videos will be transmitted to us or to third parties.
In order to create music videos with music titles from your media library, you must allow our app to access them. We will ask for your permission before you select a song from your library for the first time. For this purpose, our app analyses and processes the contents of your music titles exclusively locally on your device. No audio content or information about the content of your music tracks obtained in the course of audio analysis will be transferred to us or to third parties. If you do not allow our app to access your media library, you can only create music videos using the audio tracks included with our app or import tracks from your documents. Imported files are also only analyzed and processed locally on the device.
Access to your photo library and media library can be revoked and restored at any time in the settings of your mobile device. For further information, visit: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/iph251e92810/ios
3. Usage Data Collection
In order to offer you the best possible user experience, we use so-called tracking tools. These tools allow the creation of statistics and user profiles. This enables us to find out, for example, which operating systems our users use, which content and functions are particularly popular and in which order they are accessed. This enables us to further develop our app to the benefit of our users.
3.1 Apple App Analytics
We use Apple App Analytics, operated by Apple Inc. (One Apple Park Way, Cupertino, California, USA).
Apple collects, stores, and processes usage and diagnostic data of your mobile device and provides us with app usage-related information. This includes statistics about the usage of our app and data about app crashes. VIOGY does not receive any personal data about you from Apple Inc.
We use this data in order to further develop and optimize our app in a user-oriented manner.
Apple’s collection of usage and diagnostic data applies to the entire device. You can restrict the collection and sharing of data in your mobile device settings:
“Settings” > “Privacy” > “Diagnostics & Usage” > “Share With App Developers”
For further information, visit: https://support.apple.com/HT202100
Information on the data collected and made available to us can be found at: https://developer.apple.com/app-store-connect/analytics/
You can find the privacy statement of Apple at: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
3.2 Firebase Analytics
Our app uses Firebase Analytics, an app analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
Firebase Analytics collects, stores and analyzes app usage-related data to enable an analysis of the app usage. This data is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In order to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses, your IP address is truncated by Google within the Member States of the European Union or other contracting parties to the European Economic Area prior to being transmitted to the US.
At this point we would like to explain to you why we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior:
Our main concern is the continuous optimization of the app. We always want to ensure that all users of the beazzt app can use it without restriction and always optimally and experience the use as simple, fast and completely error-free. If we had no data at all and no feedback on the usage, it would be difficult for us to optimize the beazzt app in a user and usage-oriented manner.
Of course, you have the option of explicitly withdrawing permission to collect your usage data when you first launch the app.
You can also object to the data processing at any time in the app by tapping on the “Menu” button in the top right-hand corner of the navigation bar and unchecking the "Usage Analytics" checkbox in the "Privacy" section.
Demographics in Firebase Analytics
Our app uses Firebase Analytics’ “demographics” feature. It enables reports to be created containing statements on the age, gender and interests of the users. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google and from visitor data from third parties and cannot be associated with any specific person.
Firebase Analytics uses the so-called “Advertising Identifier” (“IDFA”). This is a unique, but non-personalized and non-permanent identification number for a specific end device, provided by the operating system.
In the device settings of your mobile device you can limit this usage:
“Settings” > “Privacy” > “Advertising” > “Limit Ad Tracking”

You can find the privacy statement of Firebase at: https://www.firebase.com/terms/privacy-policy.html
4. Error Reports
We test the app and its functions continuously and strictly under all possible hardware and software conditions. However, we cannot exclude the possibility that an error may occur while using the app. We do everything possible to ensure that this does not happen again. In order to improve the stability and reliability of the app, we rely on your help by providing us anonymized error reports.
4.1 Firebase Crashlytics
Our app uses Firebase Crashlytics, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
Crashlytics can automatically generate error reports if you encounter a crash or program error. This insformation is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The error reports contain information related to your use of our app, including information about the actions you took before the error occurred, device state, device type, operating system, app version, time of the error, unique identifiers to identify the app installation and information relating to the physical location at the time of the error.
The collection and analysis of your data by Crashlytics will only take place with your prior consent. In the event of a crash or program error, you will be asked each time for your consent to the transmission and analysis of the data mentioned in this section.
You can therefore decide individually at any time whether or not you want to provide us with the data associated with an error that has occurred.
The processing of the data serves our legitimate interest to detect program errors, as well as to be able to react faster, more targeted and efficient in the interest of our users and to improve the app accordingly.
You can find the privacy statement of Firebase at: https://www.firebase.com/terms/privacy-policy.html

5. Push Notifications
We use push notifications to inform you about new content, functions or offers. So you don’t miss any important news about the beazzt app.
If you want to receive push notifications, you must allow us to do so. We will ask you the first time you use the app.
Push notifications can be deactivated and reactivated at any time in the settings of your mobile device. You can find further information on this at: https://support.apple.com/HT201925
5.1 Firebase Cloud Messaging
Our app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
If you have allowed push notifications, your mobile device will be assigned a pseudonymous push reference. This reference will be collected together with your chosen notification settings and a unique identifier to identify the app installation in order to provide you with the content you want. This data is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
If you have allowed us to collect usage data using Firebase Analytics, this data will be linked to the data collected by Firebase Cloud Messaging. This enables us to provide you with push notifications that are targeted and really relevant to you. We want you to enjoy news from us every time you get them and only want to send you notifications if we are sure that we have great, valuable news for you.
6. In-App Purchases
If you make an in-app purchase, the settlement and payment will be made solely between you and the Apple App Store, based on their terms and conditions and privacy policy.
The terms and conditions of this service can be found at: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html
You can find the privacy statement of Apple at: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
7. Access Data
In certain cases, our app accesses external content that is hosted on our servers. This is the case, for example, if you call up a product video in our "Store" area.
In connection with the access to this data, data is temporarily stored on our servers. The collected access data includes the IP address of the requesting device, the date and time of access, the name and URL of the requested file, the transferred data volume, the status of the request and identification data of the requesting application.
The processing serves our legitimate interest in recognizing attacks on our server infrastructure through automatic evaluation of this data. In individual cases, i.e. in the event of reported faults, errors and security incidents, a manual analysis is performed.
We do not merge the IP addresses recorded in the access logs are with data from other sources, therefore no conclusions can be drawn about individual persons.
A comparison with other data sets or a transmission to third parties, even in excerpts, does not take place, unless where required by law or where disclosure is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in the event of attacks on our IT infrastructure.
8. Right to Information, Correction, Blocking, Deletion and Objection
You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us at any time. Likewise, you have the right to correct, block or (apart from the legally required data storage for business purposes) delete your personal data. In order to assert your rights, please contact the addresses listed above.
9. Changes to this Policy
We reserve the right to update our privacy policy from time to time in order to take into account changes in legislation or jurisdiction, or to reflect changes to our services. For instance, if we introduce new feature. Therefore, we recommend you to review this privacy policy periodically for any changes.
