Data Collection and Use

The app does not use third party services that collect data used to identify users beyond those that the marketplace providers mandate, e.g. the Google Play Services for Android Apps purchased through the Google Play Store. Learn more about Privacy and the Google Play Services at www.google.com/policies/privacy.

As personal and sensible information:

Personally identifiable information: The sciebo Android app does not handle personal information. Signing up in the app is not possible, so, personal data is never managed inside beyond the chosen username (to be set up in the sciebo service).

Authentication information: As stated above, the sciebo Android app communicates with the sciebo servers operated by Münster University. ownCloud GmbH does not have any kind of access to sciebo servers and receives authentication data from nowhere.

Some aspects about authentication information:

• The sciebo Android app manages accounts attached to the Account Service.
• The sciebo Android app will only manage accounts with “owncloud” type, which identifies its own authenticator. That means that the sciebo Android app accesses only accounts that were previously added using the app itself.
• The sciebo Android app checks the validity of apps with such authenticator (owncloud)
• The sciebo Android app does not share neither upload any other information related to other kind of accounts in the device.

Device Storage: The sciebo Android app will store in the device those user files that are downloaded from user servers. ownCloud GmbH does not have access to such information. Explicit permission is asked in the first installation, so that the sciebo Android app will be granted to read and write from device storage.

Contacts: The sciebo Android app does not share contacts information with third party apps. Such information is never published and is nowhere divulged.

Device location: The sciebo Android app does not use device location.

SMS and call related data: The sciebo Android app does not use SMS and call services.

Inventory of other apps on the device: The sciebo Android app does not use the list of users’ apps inside the device.

Microphone: The sciebo Android app does not use the built-in microphone.

Financial and payment information: Payments and banking data are no used in the sciebo Android app.

Camera: The sciebo Android app can use the camera app to take photos or videos that will be uploaded to the sciebo servers as new files.
