Privacy Policy luca Webapp

Last revised and updated August 19, 2022

We, culture4life GmbH (“we” or “us”), are committed to protecting your privacy in connection with your use of our services. We will always strive to maintain the security and integrity of your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection law. In particular, we store and process personal data to enable the functionalities described in section 1.2 of the Terms of Use. Other purposes are only given with the processing of your data when visiting our website to ensure a secure web presence, as well as with the processing of your enquiries (precisely for the purposes of this processing). We state these explicitly below.  

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. For example, your name, your email address, your whereabouts, but also your IP address constitute personal data, the processing of which is strictly limited by the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as GDPR). Even if this data is pseudonymised, for example through encryption (i.e., it cannot be assigned to you immediately, but only through a combination of data and keys), it must be protected under data protection law and treated in the same way as clear data. The requirements of the GDPR for handling this data primarily affect the data controller, i.e. the person who collects and processes the data. If the data controller forwards the data to service providers in order to provide a service, this must be made transparent to you as the data subject. The respective service provider must be bound by the same standards as the controller and be controlled by the controller.   

In the following, we describe specifically what data we collect and process, on what basis and for what purposes, which service providers we pass this on to and what rights you have regarding your data. 

The controller of the processing of personal data collected directly by us is:

culture4life GmbH
Mörikestrasse 67
70199 Stuttgart
Germany

1. data categories

We process the following categories of data necessary to provide or facilitate contact tracing under state regulations issued in connection with COVID infection control:


  • Contact details:
    Name, first name, address, telephone number, e-mail address.

  • Functional data:
    Data mapping IDs, keys and QR codes.

  • Dates of stay:
    Name or designation of the operators you stayed with, date, beginning and end of your stay and the address of your place of stay.

  • Additional Input Data:
    Other information that you submit through input fields in our Services, each of which relates to you, such as notes you enter in the free text fields of our Services.

  • Temporary usage data:
    Data that may be generated when using the luca webapp, i.e. IP address, IP location, type and version of the end device used,
    the browser used
    and installed browser plug-ins
    ,
    Information about the mobile network used, time zone settings, operating system and platform.

2. process description

The luca webapp is the alternative to the luca app for users who prefer to use it via a browser. However, it does not contain all the services of the luca app. Thus, automatic check-out by means of geo-fencing is not possible, nor is the deposit of test, convalescent and vaccination documents. You can find the luca webapp under this

Link


.

After entering your contact details and successfully verifying your phone number, an individual key will be generated for you. This is used to encrypt your contact details. This key remains exclusively local on your own end device until your first check-in. The encrypted data is sent to the luca system transmitted and stored on the servers of our service providers (see section 5.) within the EU area.

Collection of data at the beginning of your stay: Now you can check in with your favorite local spots. The period of your stay at an operator:in is recorded by scanning the QR code. In this context, your personal key (with which your contact details were encrypted in the course of registration) is encrypted with the key of the health authorities. The operator:in turn encrypts this data with its own key. Your contact details are thus encrypted with your user key and this key is encrypted by both the responsible health authority and the operators at every check-in and is thus stored in the luca system in a doubly encrypted form. Neither the operators nor we can see the encrypted data in its clear form and assign it to you as a person. Only the responsible health authority will be able to decode the data in the case of follow-up. If you decide to scan the QR code of the operator:in, it is necessary to turn on the camera of the smartphone. Only the recording of the QR code is saved.

The operator:in is responsible for this processing and we act here as the processor of the operator:in.

Collection of data at the end of your stay: After you have successfully checked in and want to end your stay, you can check out manually in the webapp. If you forget to check out, the operator:in has the option to check you out.

Collection of data at private events: You can likewise create your own private events and check in to those, like if you’re hosting a birthday party at home. When checking in at such private events, the private host:receives in your first and last name. You do see this location in your history, but these private events are not shared with the health department.

Optional sharing of history with the appropriate health department in case of infection: If a health office contacts you and asks you to report your recent stays, you can do this conveniently via your luca webapp. To do this, select the “Release history” function. Then you generate a so-called TAN (i.e. a transaction number that is used for authorization and is only valid for one-time use). Here, the residence data of the last 14 days and your personal key are transferred to the health department. All this data is encrypted for transmission using the health department key. As soon as you provide the health authority with your TAN, this data packet can be assigned by the health authority and then decrypted.

This is done expressly with your consent and active involvement by providing the TAN. After you have communicated your TAN, revoking this consent (see also section D. below) is pointless because the health department is the controller of further processing after retrieving the data and acts on a legal basis.

Transmission of contact tracing data by operator:s to the appropriate health department:Based on your history, the health department can assign and contact the affected operator(s) to find out which other persons were also in the location (i.e., in the spatial area of the operator(s)) at the time in question. The operator:in can then submit the requested data to the health department via your luca profile. Since the data is dual-encrypted (using the operator:in and the health department key), parts of the data will override the operator:in encryption. The health department receives the data still encrypted with the health department key and can decrypt it. This means that only the health department can view the clearing data. The operator:in is responsible for this processing and we act here as the processor of the operator:in.


3. special categories

personal

data according to Art. 9 DSGVO

When transferring your visit history (as shown in the process description) to a health department, there is an increased likelihood that you are infected. Since this may allow conclusions to be drawn about your health, this transfer will only take place on the basis of your express consent pursuant to Art. 9 (2) a) in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) 1 a) DSGVO.

Other sensitive data (e.g. political opinions, religious affiliation, genetic or biometric information) are generally not processed by us. We ask that you not disclose any such information to us through or in connection with our Services.

7. rights of the data subjects

With regard to the processing of your personal data, you have the following rights provided for in the GDPR, which you can exercise against us for all processing operations for which we are responsible (see Part C.):

  • The right to request a statement as to whether your personal data are being processed and, if this is the case, the right to information about these data. This information includes, among other things, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed and the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed (Art. 15 GDPR). We store your data exclusively in encrypted form and do not possess the keys required for decryption. Therefore, we cannot track whether personal data of a specific person is processed in the luca system. Unlike ourselves, you can see all the processing forms of the data collected and stored in encrypted form in your own history and contact details. This is different for data that we receive from you as clear data when you contact us yourself (e.g., for support requests). We will be happy to provide you with information on these upon request.
  • The right to request the correction of your personal data if it is incorrect or incomplete (Art. 16 DSGVO).You can only correct your contact data yourself (except for the history) in the luca webapp. We already fulfill this right through the functionalities provided. To exercise it, you only need to go to the corresponding area within the luca webapp and make the correction/change. We ourselves can only process your request with regard to data that we receive from you as clear data (e.g. through a direct contact by you with us).
  • The right, under certain conditions, to demand that your personal data be deleted immediately (so-called “right to be forgotten”) (Art. 17 DSGVO).We comply with this right by providing a delete button. You can use this to delete your data, whereby the deletion takes place within the periods described in section C. 6. We ourselves cannot carry this out for you due to the encryption. If we have stored data about you (e.g. because you have contacted us in another context) that we can assign to you or that is not based on the information you have stored within the luca webapp, we will delete this data in accordance with your request, unless there is a justified interest or legal retention periods to the contrary.
  • The right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain conditions (Art. 18 GDPR). Due to the encryption and the fact that we do not have the necessary keys for decryption, we can only fulfill this right with regard to the clear data transmitted by you.
  • The right to withdraw at any time any consent given to us regarding the processing of your personal data (for sharing your history with the Health Department, for data collection, camera). This is done for the future by changing your settings. Such revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place until your revocation. Please note that in case of revocation, the encrypted data cannot be assigned to you due to the encryption and therefore cannot be excluded from processing until it is automatically deleted.

Please note that we generally do not process your personal data in the form of plain data, but in encrypted form, and therefore in certain cases we will not be able to comply with a corresponding request by you to grant the aforementioned rights.

To exercise these rights against us, you may also contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details set out in Part B of this Privacy Policy.

Notwithstanding the foregoing rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection and freedom of information, such as the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg:
