Privacy Policy
Data Privacy Statement for the Use of the Video Fortune App, Version: 09.07.2023
This Data Privacy Statement applies for the offering and use of the “Video Fortune” app (hereinafter referred to as “Video Fortune”) for use on your mobile device.
When using Video Fortune, personal data will be collected, processed and used by us. Because the protection of your privacy when using Video Fortune is important to us, we would like to inform you with the following information about what personal data we collect when you use Video Fortune and how we handle this data.
Collection and Use of Your Data
I hereby agree that by using Video Fortune may use the following personal data:
Installed apps (including the use duration and use history)
Registration data (email address, IP address, GAID)
The data is linked to your device via the device ID (GAID or IDFA) ransmitted to our servers in encrypted form. So that app providers can finance our app proposals, your device ID must be transferred to them for billing purposes. In order to measure the usage time as well as the installed apps, users can voluntarily upload screenshots from their mobile phone via the Video Fortune, after which they will be automatically processed, evaluated, and stored in our system for your membership.
The processing of the above data is required in order to be able to suggest apps available in the Video Fortune that match your interests, propose their installation via system notifications, and allow the bonuses earned from using said apps to be calculated. I am aware that the above data results in an interest profile, which, depending on the type of apps I use, may contain particularly sensitive personal data (such as health data or data on my sexual orientation as well as any other data from special categories defined in Art. 9 para. 1 of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If necessary, a selfie is required (only with bonus payment)
I understand that for reasons of fraud prevention, bonuses that I earn through the use of Video Fortune will only be possible after additional user verification via a selfie taken with my device's camera when I first request a bonus. My consent to the processing of my personal data therefore already applies to the processing of these photos. I acknowledge that selfies are also special-category personal data per Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR and expressly consent to the processing described below.
Information about Withdrawing Consent
Registration/Setting Up a User Account
To be able to use all functions of Video Fortune and in particular to benefit from the bonus payments, you have to register for the use of Video Fortune by setting up a user account. The registration therefore serves to provide the services of Video Fortune and calculate the bonuses generated by you.
During the registration process, we will collect and store certain other personal data about you for the setting up of a customer account, if necessary. This includes (if we have not already collected and stored this in accordance with the steps described above, see above) the following information:
This data is processed on the basis of the consent you have given (see above) and is used to fulfil the contract for you to use Video Fortune.
If you do not provide this information or data, you may not be able to use Video Fortune at all or only to a limited extent and will, in particular, not be eligible for any bonus payments.
Use Data
Data Processing for the Recommendation of New Apps
To be able to recommend to you other apps that participate in Video Fortune based on your current app preferences, a list of apps currently installed on your end device, as well as apps that you have already installed (but that you have deinstalled) in the operating system installed on your end device, including a use history of all these apps, will be sent to us during the installation of Video Fortune.
In order to know your long-term preferences and continue to offer you interesting apps, after the installation of Video Fortune and permanently during the use of Video Fortune, other apps installed by you on your end device will be automatically recognised by Video Fortune and the name of each newly installed app will be sent to us.
In addition, we will log data about the use of the apps running in the foreground of your end device and the temporal extent of the use (date, time and duration of the use of all apps).
For the logging of the use data within Video Fortune, we measure the so-called “customer journey”. For this purpose, each click or typing of a key within Video Fortune will be logged and linked to your profile or stored on the server.
The processing of this data takes place based on the consent granted by you (see above) and serves to perform the contract on the use of Video Fortune by you.
Data Processing for the Calculation of Bonus Payments
We also use the data about your use of the apps running in the foreground of your end device to calculate the bonuses generated by you, if you have obtained and installed these apps via Video Fortune. For this purpose, we also log and use data about your purchases of services and virtual items within the framework of the apps used by you (in-app purchases), and about relevant in-app occurrences relevant for the calculation of the bonuses, such as level increases.
The processing of this data takes place based on the consent granted by you (see above) and serves to perform the contract on the use of Video Fortune by you.
Use Data about the End Device Used by You
In order to be able to identify you beyond any doubt during the use of Video Fortune and allocate you for the purpose of the recommendation of new apps, and the calculation and payment of the bonus payments, we store other data about the use of Video Fortune and the end device used by you for this purpose. This includes the so-called Google Advertiser ID (“GAID” for Android) and the so-called Apple Identifier for Advertisers (“IDFA” for Apple iOS), the Widevine ID, the model and product name of your end device, the version of the operating system, the browser type used and its display resolution, as well as the IP address allocated to your end device and information about when which content from our offering was accessed, the names of the files requested, and their dates and times of access. We require this data to determine the content requested by you (e.g. text, images, games and product information as well as files provided for download etc.), in order to enable the offering of our services in accordance with the terms and conditions of use, and for the optimal display of Video Fortune on your end device. In order for app providers to finance our app suggestions, they must be sent the device ID for billing purposes.
The processing of this data takes place based on the consent granted by you (see above) and serves to perform the contract on the use of Video Fortune by you.
If our server logs also automatically log your IP address, this will take place solely for the purpose of guaranteeing the security of our systems, or for fraud prevention, and the IP address will be automatically erased after 30 days at the latest.

In the contact section of the app, you can contact us via email using our contact form. Your email address will thereby be collected by us. You can decide yourself which data you provide to us within the framework of the contact.
In this case, we will only use your data to respond to your query.
Storage Duration of Your Data
We will only store your personal data for as long as we need it for the performance of the contract on the use of Video Fortune, for the fulfilment of your wishes, or for our legitimate interests for the purposes of which we have logged your personal data, or for as long as is permitted or required by law
If we use support from third-party service providers who process your data on our behalf in order to provide our web services, we have ensured that they are subject to the strict conditions of this Data Privacy Statement, and that the use of your data beyond the cases described in this Data Privacy Statement will not take place. All contractors, service providers and their employees are subject extensively to our instructions and are also in particular legally obliged to observe, and trained in, the protection of your data.
In order to prevent the loss or misuse of the data stored by us, we take comprehensive technical and organisational safety precautions, which are regularly reviewed and adjusted to meet technological advances. If it is within our sphere of influence, we use in particular modern encryption techniques as well as a variety of other measures to prevent third parties from obtaining unauthorised information.
However, we would like to point out to you that due to the structure of the internet, it is possible that the data protection regulations and the above-named security measures of other persons or institutions not within our area of responsibility cannot be observed. In particular, data passed on in a non-encrypted form can be read by third parties, even if it is sent via email. We have no technical influence on this occurrence. In these cases, it is the responsibility of the user to protect the data it provides against misuse, by encryption or other methods.
