Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Protecting your data matters to us. Below we explain which data is processed in the BeachTreff app and on this website, and what rights you have.

1. Controller

The controller for data processing is the operator named in the Imprint. Contact for privacy enquiries: info@berlin-beachvolleyball.de.

2. What data we process

  • Account data: display name, email address, and – if you sign in with Google – your Google account ID and optionally your profile photo.
  • Profile data: your chosen skill level, optional home court, statistics (sessions played, reliability, level confirmations) and badges.
  • Activity data: sessions you create or attend, participations, community posts and comments, level feedback, reported content, blocked users, court-occupancy reports.
  • Technical data: a device token for push notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging) and the app language.

3. Purposes and legal bases

We process this data to provide the app’s features (organising sessions, community, notifications). The legal basis is the performance of the user agreement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in a functioning, abuse-resistant app (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. Processors and services

  • Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Messaging, Cloud Functions): hosting and processing of the app data. The database runs in the europe-west3 region (Frankfurt am Main). A data processing agreement is in place with Google.
  • Open-Meteo (weather): only the coordinates of courts are queried; no personal data is transmitted.
  • berlin-beachvolleyball.de (news): the app loads public posts from the website. No personal data about you is transmitted.

5. No advertising, no tracking

The app uses no advertising networks and no analytics or tracking tools. No data is shared for advertising purposes.

6. Location

The app does not request your device location. When you voluntarily report court occupancy, you select a court yourself; no GPS is used.

7. Retention and deletion

Your data is stored as long as your account exists. You can delete your account at any time in the app under Profile → Delete account; your profile data is then deleted. Public content you created (e.g. posts) may remain for traceability or be anonymised. More under Delete account.

8. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. To exercise your rights, contact info@berlin-beachvolleyball.de.

9. Push notifications

With your permission we send notifications (e.g. about sessions, waiting lists, news). You can disable these at any time in your device settings.
