Use of contact data for contact matching and invitation purposes
Using the data of contacts stored in the contact directory of the User device, it can be checked whether these contacts also use our application. For this purpose, the telephone numbers of the contacts are uploaded to our server, used only for the purpose of matching and then deleted. The use of the contact information requires the User's authorization, which can be revoked at any time.
Users are reminded that permission must be granted to process the contact information and, especially in the case of natural persons, their consent or legal permission is required.
Furthermore, with the Users' consent, we can also match contact information using interfaces to other providers (e.g. Snapchat or WhatsApp) and further refer to the data protection information of the respective providers.
It is also possible to invite friends via individual contact options of the Users, e.g. by e-mail. We point out to the Users that contact requests may not bother other Users and should only be made to Users who agree to it.

Suggested friends (friends of friends)
We may suggest other friends to users based on their friends' friend lists. When a user A adds a friend B (whether during registration or later when using Beer Buddy), we may suggest to user A the friends of the added friend B as additional friends. We therefore ask users to be aware that in order to provide this function, their friend lists may be made known to other users.
-
Chat functions
Users can exchange individual messages with other users within the framework of chat functions. We process the content exchanged between Users solely for the purpose of providing the communication.
-
Publishing content and respecting the rights of third parties
Users can publish content (e.g. text or images) in their accounts that is accessible to their friends. We would like to point out to the users that the contents written may not violate applicable law, as well as comply with applicable moral concepts that are reasonable for the users and that the persons named or depicted must either have given their consent to the publication or a legal permission of the publication must be available.
-
Single Sign-on authentication
"Single Sign-On" or "Single Sign-On Authentication or Logon" are procedures that allow Users to log in to our online services using a User account with a provider of Single Sign-On services (e.g. a social network). The prerequisite for Single Sign-On Authentication is that Users are registered with the respective Single Sign-On provider and enter the required access data in the online form provided for this purpose, or are already logged in with the Single Sign-On provider and confirm the Single Sign-On login via the button.
Authentication takes place directly with the respective single sign-on provider. Within the scope of such authentication, we receive a User ID with the information that the User is logged in with the respective single sign-on provider under this User ID and an ID that cannot be used for other purposes (so-called "User handle"). Whether we receive further data depends solely on the single sign-on procedure used, the data releases selected as part of authentication and also which data Users have released in the privacy or other settings of the User account with the single sign-on provider. Depending on the single sign-on provider and the User's choice, there can be different data, usually the e-mail address and the User name. The password entered by the single sign-on provider as part of the single sign-on procedure is neither visible to us nor is it stored by us.
Users are requested to note that their data stored with us can be automatically compared with their User account with the single sign-on provider, but this is not always possible or actual. If, for example, the e-mail addresses of Users change, Users must change these manually in their User account with us.
We can use single sign-on authentication, provided that it has been agreed with Users in the context of pre-fulfillment or fulfilment of the contract, in the context of consent processing and otherwise use it on the basis of our legitimate interests and the interests of Users in an effective and secure authentication system.
Should Users decide to no longer want to use the link of their User account with the Single Sign-On provider for the Single Sign-On procedure, they must remove this link within their User account with the Single Sign-On provider. If Users wish to delete their data from us, they must cancel their registration with us.

Furthermore, with the Users' consent, we can also match contact information using interfaces to other providers (e.g. Snapchat or WhatsApp) and further refer to the data protection information of the respective providers.

Single Sign-on authentication
"Single Sign-On" or "Single Sign-On Authentication or Logon" are procedures that allow Users to log in to our online services using a User account with a provider of Single Sign-On services (e.g. a social network). The prerequisite for Single Sign-On Authentication is that Users are registered with the respective Single Sign-On provider and enter the required access data in the online form provided for this purpose, or are already logged in with the Single Sign-On provider and confirm the Single Sign-On login via the button.
Authentication takes place directly with the respective single sign-on provider. Within the scope of such authentication, we receive a User ID with the information that the User is logged in with the respective single sign-on provider under this User ID and an ID that cannot be used for other purposes (so-called "User handle"). Whether we receive further data depends solely on the single sign-on procedure used, the data releases selected as part of authentication and also which data Users have released in the privacy or other settings of the User account with the single sign-on provider. Depending on the single sign-on provider and the User's choice, there can be different data, usually the e-mail address and the User name. The password entered by the single sign-on provider as part of the single sign-on procedure is neither visible to us nor is it stored by us.
Users are requested to note that their data stored with us can be automatically compared with their User account with the single sign-on provider, but this is not always possible or actual. If, for example, the e-mail addresses of Users change, Users must change these manually in their User account with us.
We can use single sign-on authentication, provided that it has been agreed with Users in the context of pre-fulfillment or fulfilment of the contract, in the context of consent processing and otherwise use it on the basis of our legitimate interests and the interests of Users in an effective and secure authentication system.
Should Users decide to no longer want to use the link of their User account with the Single Sign-On provider for the Single Sign-On procedure, they must remove this link within their User account with the Single Sign-On provider. If Users wish to delete their data from us, they must cancel their registration with us.
