1. Controller (data controller)
The party responsible under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Yannic Labonte
Webergasse 3
40668 Meerbusch
Germany
Email: yannic.labonte@gmail.com
Further details are in the Imprint.
2. Principle
PoolPilot is a native app that talks directly to your pool controller (ProCon.IP or Violet) on your own network. There is no account with us, no cloud, no advertising and no analytics/tracking services. We process as little data as possible.
3. Data inside the app
Controller connection details
To let the app talk to your controller, you enter its address (host/IP) plus a username and password. These credentials are stored only locally on your device — in the system Keychain on iOS, in encrypted app storage (DataStore) on Android. They leave your device only to send requests to that specific controller. We never receive them.
Readings and settings
Readings and status values are fetched from your controller and shown on the device, or cached for the widgets and the watch view. This data likewise stays on the device / within the app's storage.
No telemetry
The app contains no analytics, tracking or advertising SDKs. Optional crash reporting is currently disabled. Should it be enabled in future, this policy will be updated beforehand.
4. Purchases and subscriptions
Write features are part of PoolPilot Pro. Purchases and subscriptions are handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play; payment goes through your account there. We receive no payment data (e.g. card numbers).
To manage entitlements (“Pro” active/inactive) we use RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc., USA). On our behalf, RevenueCat processes a pseudonymous app user identifier and store purchase/receipt information to verify subscription status. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract).
5. This website
Hosting (GitHub Pages)
This website is served via GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc., a Microsoft company). When you access it, technically necessary access data — such as your IP address, date/time, the file requested and your browser — is processed by the host to deliver the site and keep it running securely. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in stable, secure operation).
No cookies, no analytics
The website sets no cookies, uses no analytics tools, and embeds no third-party resources (e.g. third-party web fonts). Fonts are bundled locally. That is why there is no cookie banner.
6. Support
For support you can open a GitHub issue. Its contents and your GitHub profile are public there and processed by GitHub; using it is voluntary. Alternatively you can reach us by email — we then process the data you provide solely to handle your request (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).
7. Recipients and transfers to third countries
Depending on use, data may be transferred to Apple, Google, RevenueCat and GitHub/Microsoft. These providers may process data in the USA. Where required, any transfer relies on appropriate safeguards (e.g. EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).
8. Retention
App and connection data stay on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app. Hosting logs are kept by the host only for as long as needed for security. Support correspondence is kept as long as needed to handle it.
9. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object (Art. 21). You can withdraw any consent at any time with effect for the future.
10. Right to complain
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your residence or of the alleged infringement.
11. Changes
We update this policy when the app, the services used, or the legal situation change. The version published on poolpilot.eu applies.
