2) Third-party services

The respective privacy policies of third-party providers apply to the download of the app or use of third-party app stores (e.g., Meta, Apple, Google). In this context, please note that Meta Platforms ( https://www.meta.com/de/legal/quest/about-us/?srsltid=AfmBOooqxt793bnKrYPaRYTRC_OvT1gpyHGwci5AGRBOif03h99bie25) is independently responsible for data processing in connection with the Meta account and device-related analytics for Meta Quest 3S. Our services may depend on this, but only process the data necessary for the functions. For more information about what data is collected from your device or in connection with the use of the device, please refer to the respective notices from Meta, which are available here: https://www.meta.com/de-de/help/quest/741121407333403/?utm_source=mdc_app_store

3) What data processing takes place?

We receive the data directly from you or in the context of your use of the app (interactions, measurements, metadata) as well as from system events in the context of app use (logs).

In the app, personal data is primarily processed for the measurement and visualization of objects and rooms. This includes user interactions with the glasses (e.g., eye and hand gestures) as well as sensor-supported derivatives such as measurement vectors, surfaces, and simplified 3D models without textures.

We also process individual personal data when you register to use the app (including device identifiers). Usernames and passwords are user IDs that are generated automatically and independently of the user, which we use for registration purposes and, if necessary, for troubleshooting and warranty purposes.

Categories of personal data

Depending on the use of the app, we process the following categories of personal data in the app or in the corresponding area of the platform:

• Account and master data (e.g., user ID, email address linked to the device), including automatically generated device-related passwords and device ID.
• Interaction/sensor data, such as gaze vectors, hand/finger poses, controller events; corresponding data is only processed on the device.
• Measurement and project data, such as length/area values, distance points/vectors, project data entered by the user; corresponding data is only processed on the device 
• Metadata, such as session/transaction IDs, timestamps, app/build version, error message codes, performance metrics (e.g., "scan successful/aborted").

In particular, we do not collect: names, location data, usage/behavioral data. We do not access your Meta account or Meta device storage.

The app does not use cookies, tracking technologies, or analytics SDKs. Insofar as the app technically works with sensors for a short period of time (e.g., camera/depth for room scanning; hand/eye signals), this only occurs fleetingly in the working memory to fulfill the respective function and without persistence of the raw data.

To collect additional personal data, we or Meta will generally obtain your separate consent via the respective functions of the app.

Special categories of personal data (Art. 9 GDPR) are not processed.

Purpose and legal basis of data processing

The purpose is to provide the core function (measurement/visualization), ensure stability/security, and display errors without content. The legal bases are Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (contract/contract-like relationship) for functional processing and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interests) for minimal technical operation (e.g., session IDs, error message codes). Access/storage on the end device (e.g., sensor access) only takes place to the extent that it is technically necessary, e.g., for troubleshooting, or with the user's consent.

We also process device management data such as device status/policy compliance, app whitelist, and technical logs (without content, without meta account data) to ensure administration and security and to enable troubleshooting. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and our legitimate interest in the secure, policy-compliant operation of the services. Insofar as processing is carried out for the purpose of rectifying defects, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Device serial numbers or meta account data are not transferred to our systems.

In addition, we use account and master data as well as metadata for the purposes of business and service analysis, product and function development, and, if necessary, for AI training, testing and evaluation, quality assurance, support, and reliability engineering in the future. e processing for the above purposes is always carried out in a depersonalized form. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and our legitimate interest in the efficient, economical, and user-friendly provision of services, as well as the further development of our offering and adaptation to user expectations and habits.

4) Will my data be passed on to third parties?

Some of your data may also be passed on to the following recipients if this is necessary for the performance of the contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), if we are legally obliged to do so (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR) or if this is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR):

• Manufacturers and service providers for the purpose of handling warranty claims
• Transport companies, postal service providers, service providers for shipping control, service providers for shipping communication
• Law enforcement authorities, courts, arbitration boards, auditors, lawyers, or tax advisors
• Insurance companies for the processing of possible claims

In some cases, we use additional external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions, and are regularly monitored. These service providers include, for example, hosting, support, and other IT service providers, call center agencies, data collection and data maintenance agencies, as well as service providers for shipping control and shipping communication. The legal basis is Art. 28 GDPR, provided that these service providers are processors.

Independently responsible parties may be Meta or third-party systems designated by you to which you export data. Data is not passed on to other parties.

5) Is data transferred to third countries?

Processing generally takes place in the EU/EEA. If, in exceptional cases, services outside the EEA are used, the transfer will only take place if suitable safeguards are in place, in particular EU adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses (SCC) in conjunction with a transfer impact assessment (TIA) and additional technical measures within the meaning of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. Further information on how Meta processes personal data in this context can be found in the respective Meta notices, which are available here: https://www.meta.com/de-de/help/quest/741121407333403/?utm_source=mdc_app_store

You are a user of the Strauss "Toolbox XR" app. Depending on the configuration of the device you are using (VR glasses), information about the use of the device, the device status, and other technical data is transmitted to Strauss (hereinafter "Strauss" or "we," "us") via the app and processed in a separate area of the platform so that we and our partners can offer you the best possible service.

Regulations on data access and the use of device data can be found in our General Terms and Conditions of Use (GTCU) for our app, which we provide to you separately, but which you can also find at any time on our websites at https://www.strauss.com/de/de/Rechtliches/Datenschutz_Sicherheitsbestimmungen_ToolBoxXR.

Below, we provide information about what data we collect and use when you use the app and how you can access it.

1) General information

Meta is the manufacturer of Meta Quest 3S (VR glasses). Strauss has no data processing authority over data in the glasses. Further information about what data Meta collects and uses when you use the VR glasses and how you can access this data is provided separately by Meta. Further information can be found at: https://transparency.meta.com/de-de/policies/other-policies/pre-disclosure/quest/

Strauss offers a supplementary app for your device that enables, among other things, the measurement and visualization of objects and rooms. The app and an associated device management service serve to supplement, update, and, if necessary, adapt the functions of the device and the app. Further information on the services we offer for your device or via the app can be found in the app's terms and conditions. These can be found at any time on our website at https://www.strauss.com/de/de/Rechtliches/Datenschutz_Sicherheitsbestimmungen_ToolBoxXR.

2) Type, format, and estimated scope of the product data that the connected service can generate

a) Data types

Meta Quest 3S processes sensor and system data required for the operation of the VR headset on the device side (under Meta's own responsibility). Further details are available at https://transparency.meta.com/de-de/policies/other-policies/pre-disclosure/quest/.

Our Strauss app connected to the device generates and processes, in particular, the following categories of data that can be provided as part of the measurement/visualization process:

• Measurement/geometry data (derivatives): measurement points/vectors, length/area/volume specifications, planes/normals, simplified 3D models without textures (low-poly mesh/point cloud, downsampled).
• Project/context information: freely assigned project names, optional tags/identification numbers (entered by the user/customer), timestamps, session IDs.
• Function/status events (minimized): success/abortion of a scan, export events (without content data), app/build version.
• Metadata for data sets: Data field definitions (e.g., unit "mm/m²"), coordinate reference, simplification/downsampling parameters, file sizes, creation/modification times.

For the purposes of providing the app's services and functions, as well as for troubleshooting and other purposes described in the AEB, we store and process certain device data, some of which is generated automatically and some of which is generated manually by the user, in a restricted area of the platform to which only Strauss has access. In some cases, the data is only stored on the device itself.

This data includes the following:

• Account and master data (e.g., user ID, email address linked to the device), including automatically generated device-related passwords and device ID. This data is stored in a restricted area of the platform to which only Strauss has access. Passwords cannot be viewed by Strauss.
• Interaction/sensor data, such as gaze vectors, hand/finger poses, controller events, if the user has generated this data export themselves . This data is stored exclusively on the device itself.
• Measurement and project data, such as length/area values, distance points/vectors, project data entered by the user, provided that the user has generated this data export themselves. This data is stored exclusively on the device itself.
• Metadata, such as session/transaction IDs, timestamps, app/build version, error message codes, performance metrics (e.g., "scan successful/aborted"). This data is stored in a separate area of the platform to which only Strauss has access.

Account and master data as well as metadata may also be processed by Meta. For more information on data processing by Meta, please visit: https://transparency.meta.com/de-de/policies/other-policies/pre-disclosure/quest/.

b) Data formats

The above-mentioned data types are stored or further processed in the app or platform in the following data formats.

c) Estimated volume

The amount of data may vary depending on the model, configuration, and user settings of the device, as well as the object size, scan duration, degree of simplification, and export format. The generally estimated volume of data generated in the Strauss app therefore depends largely on individual parameters.

3) Continuous data generation in real time

During an active scan or measurement session, measurement/geometry data can be generated continuously in real time (only for the duration of the session). Outside of active use, the Strauss app does not generate data continuously.

4) Data storage capability

By default, on-device processing takes place without persistence of raw sensor data. Measurement derivatives/project data can be stored locally on the device.

The retention period for the collected data depends on the type of data and the use case/project, as well as the user's settings in the app.

5) Data access, retrieval, and deletion by the user

Users can access the data stored on the device via the app's functions. It is also possible to export device data. Further information on how to perform such an export using the functions provided by Meta for this purpose can be found at: click here.

At the user's request, data can also be shared with third parties, depending on the recipient and availability. Further information on this can also be found in the information provided by Meta (see above).

If the provision of further data to the user or third parties is requested, we are available at any time at datenschutz@strauss.de for corresponding inquiries, which will be reviewed and processed as quickly as possible. The provision of further information may be subject to additional requirements, including the protection of trade and business secrets or the assumption of costs to the extent permitted by law. 

6) Purpose of data processing

Data processing is carried out for the purpose of providing the functions and services offered by the app. Any further use of the above-mentioned data is carried out for the purposes additionally specified in the respective agreement (including quality control, product improvement and development, business analytics, etc.). In addition, the data will be used as necessary to comply with legal requirements (including product monitoring, retention obligations) or to fulfill legitimate interests (e.g., legal defense).
