Privacy Policy for the MakeItBookable App and Website

Protecting your personal data is important to us. This Privacy Policy informs you about the collection, processing, and use of your personal data when using our MakeItBookable app and associated website.

I. Information on Data Processing According to Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

1. Data Controller and Data Protection Officer

The data controller for this website and the MakeItBookable app is:

Dr. Kai Kaapke, St. Mauritius-Weg 16, 31191 Algermissen, Germany

If you have any questions or concerns regarding data protection, you can contact us via email at MakeItBookable@kaapke-online.de or by post at the above address.

2. Data Processed

This section describes the data processed for the provision of the website, creation of log files, and functionality of the MakeItBookable app.

a. What Data is Processed and for What Purpose?
1. Each time website content is accessed, certain data that may enable identification is temporarily stored. This data includes:
  • Date and time of access
  • IP address
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Website from which the page was accessed
  • Pages accessed via our website
  • Success status of the request
  • Data volume transferred
  • Information on browser type and version
  • Operating system

Temporary storage of data is necessary for the operation of the website to deliver the content to your device. Further storage in log files is essential to ensure website functionality and the security of IT systems, which constitutes our legitimate interest in processing this data.

Data is deleted once it is no longer necessary for its collection purpose.

For website provision, this occurs when the session ends. Log files are accessible only to administrators and are permanently deleted after a maximum of eight weeks.

2. The data you enter in the MakeItBookable app must be stored to fulfill the application's purpose.

This data includes the email address you provided for your user account, which is stored until you delete your account via the app.

When your account is deleted, all other data you provided is also deleted. You can request deletion at any time by emailing MakeItBookable@kaapke-online.de with the subject "Delete Account."

To determine the number of resources you have subscribed to, we must share your request and email address with Adapty.

Neither Adapty nor we use this data to track user behavior outside of the app.

3. Integration with Google Calendar

The MakeItBookable app allows users to automatically create availability periods and bookings as events in a connected Google Calendar.

To use this feature, the user must connect the app to their Google account and select an existing calendar or create a new calendar where the events generated by the app can be stored.

During the connection process, the user will be asked by Google to grant the application permission to access their Google Calendar. This permission allows the app to read and modify calendar data.

The access is used solely for the following purposes:

  • Retrieving a list of the calendars available in the user’s Google account so that the user can select a calendar for the integration
  • Creating, updating, and deleting calendar events related to availabilities and bookings managed through the app

The application only accesses and processes events that are created in connection with the use of the app. The app does not access, analyze, or store information from other calendar events or unrelated calendar data belonging to the user.

All processing of calendar data is carried out solely for the purpose of providing the calendar synchronization functionality requested by the user.

Use of Google API Services Data

MakeItBookable uses Google API Services to access certain Google user data in order to provide the Google Calendar integration.

Access to Google user data occurs only after the user explicitly authorizes the application to connect to their Google account.

Information obtained through Google API Services is used exclusively to provide and improve the functionality of the application, specifically to:

  • allow the user to select a calendar from their Google account
  • create, update, and delete calendar events related to the user’s availabilities and bookings

The application does not use data obtained through Google API Services for:

  • advertising or marketing purposes
  • personalized advertising
  • building user profiles unrelated to the app’s functionality
  • selling or sharing such data with third parties

MakeItBookable’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Information obtained through Google API Services will not be transferred to third parties except:

  • as necessary to provide and improve the app’s core functionality
  • to comply with applicable law or legal obligations
  • with the explicit consent of the user
b. Legal Basis for Data Processing

Data is processed based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
