Third Party Data Sharing:
When you use the AI item recognition feature, photos and related form data are transmitted to Google Gemini (a third-party AI service operated by Google) for processing. This data is sent securely via HTTPS to enable automatic item detection and categorization. Google's privacy policy applies to this data processing: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Except for the AI item recognition feature mentioned above, your entered data is not shared with any other third parties.
In case you want to synchronize your data over multiple devices, we need your Google authentication to ensure that you are allowed to see your data. Based on that, we can offer you a secure app experience.
By using the data synchronization, the local data changes are
transferred via HTTPS (SSL encrypted) to an REST service hosted on
https://mythings.glowsoft.de. If you are assigned to
any inventory, your device is pulling the latest changes from this
service and persists them to your local database.
Your entered data is stored locally on your mobile device first. The locally stored data is being persisted in a SQLite database. We keep your data as long as you are active in the app. The local data can be deleted manually by the user all at once by uninstalling the app or cleaning up the app's data.
When you use data synchronization, the data is stored on our server in a PostgreSQL database.
Our app uses the following third-party service for enhanced functionality:
When you use the AI item recognition feature, your photos and related form data are processed by Google Gemini, Google's artificial intelligence service. This processing occurs in real-time to provide automatic item detection and categorization.
Data transmitted to Google Gemini:
Purpose: To automatically detect and categorize items in your photos for inventory management.
Data retention: Google processes this data according to their own privacy policy and data retention policies. We recommend reviewing Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy
Your control: The AI item recognition feature is optional. You can choose not to use this feature and manually add items to your inventory instead.
