3. Data Collection and Usage
We do not collect or process any personal data on our servers. Specifically:
- All answers to the matching questions are stored only in your local device using localStorage.
- No registration or login is required.
- We do not send or store any personal data externally.
4. Use of Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager for basic page interaction tracking. This tool allows us to monitor website usage to improve user experience. It does not collect personally identifiable information.
5. LocalStorage Use
We use your browser's localStorage to:
- Save your answers to the matching questions
- Allow QR-based answer comparison with another user (locally)
- Let you define a username (stored locally only)
- Let you create custom matching questions with a title, description, and answers (yes, no, don't care)
- Allow other users to import your custom questions by scanning a dedicated QR code you present. The imported data is stored on their own device under your username.
All such data remains on the user's device and is never transmitted or processed externally.
6. Legal Basis
We process (or rather store locally) this information on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest) to improve your user experience.
7. Your Rights
As a user, you have the right to:
- Request information about stored personal data
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Since we do not store your data on our servers, we have no access to your responses and cannot provide or delete them. You can manually delete the localStorage data in your browser settings.
