Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, the data controller is Aslan Labs Pte. (hereinafter "gCamera" or
"we" or "us").
If you would like to contact us, you can reach us and our data protection officer at: support@gangel.org
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding data protection, please do not hesitate to contact us or our
data protection officer.
2. Collection, processing and use of personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (e.g. name, address,
telephone number, date of birth or e-mail address).
When we process personal data, this means that we collect, store, use, transmit or delete data.
gCamera collects and processes your personal data exclusively in the following cases:
· When you visit us on our website without being a member.
· When you contact us by direct means.
· When you install our gCamera app.
· When you conclude a free or paid membership with gCamera and subsequently use gCamera.
The provision of your personal data in the context of the conclusion and existence of the contractual
relationship with gCamera is voluntary. For the membership with gCamera, however, it is necessary that you provide
personal data of special categories (e.g. your gender or data of sexual orientation or other personal data).
Also, the use of the gCamera service requires that your profile information and your matching ratings to other
gCamera members are visible to them.
In this regard, please also note that we offer the gCamera service in many different countries and the
information contained in your profile is visible to our members in all of these countries. You can search for
your partner in any of these countries.
If you do not want gCamera to process personal data or parts thereof from you, gCamera can not provide its service
as stated in the terms and conditions and you cannot use gCamera.
2.1 Data processing
If you install the gCamera app via an app store operator as a third-party provider (e.g. Google or Apple), you
may have to conclude a usage agreement with the respective app store operator regarding access to its portal.
This access requires a valid account with the app store operator as well as a corresponding end device (e.g.
smartphone) and gCamera has no influence on the data processing in this context. The responsible party in this
respect is solely the app store operator of the respective app platform. If necessary, please inform yourself
directly with the app store operator (third-party provider) about its data processing. In this case, gCamera is
only the responsible party in the context of the use of the gCamera app.
2.2 What data does gCamera collect from its members to fulfill the contractual relationship?
In order for gCamera to provide the services described in more detail in the General Terms and Conditions, it is
necessary to process the personal data described below, which the user (also referred to as gCamera member)
provides, among other things, as part of the registration process, the conclusion of a basic membership or a
premium membership.
2.3 Registration process
During the registration process, which is initially free of charge (conclusion of the so-called "basic
membership"), the user (or also referred to as "basic member") is requested to provide certain minimum
information, without which the registration cannot be completed. These data are:
· Gender and searched gender (the searched gender is a date of sexual orientation and therefore a special
category personal data).
· E-mail address or phone number
· Password chosen by the user
If you have chosen a login via third party providers such as Facebook or Apple, you do not provide an email
address/ phone number or password within the registration process. The respective access to gCamera then takes
place via the e-mail address and password selected by the user (so-called access data) or alternatively via the
login data of the third-party provider.
2.4 When registering via Apple ("Register with Apple")
gCamera offers you the option to register via your Apple user account. If you make use of this, we receive the
data required for registration from Apple. In this respect, a data transfer takes place. With Apple, you have
the option of sharing your email address stored there with gCamera or hiding it. If you hide your e-mail address,
we receive a unique, randomly generated e-mail address from Apple for the creation and use of your gCamera
account. Our communications are sent by us to this email address and automatically forwarded by Apple to your
email address on file with Apple, unless you have disabled gCamera email forwarding.
We have no influence on the scope of the data collected by Apple by means of the Apple login. If you do not want
Apple to collect data about you in connection with your use of our online service and use it for its own
purposes, you should not use the Apple login.
You can disconnect your gCamera account from your Apple account at any time on our website. In this case, we
require the access data described above from you.
For more information about the purpose and scope of the collection and the further processing and use of your
data by Apple, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your data, please refer to Apple's
privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/de-ww/.
2.5 When registering via Facebook ("Facebook Login")
gCamera uses the "Log in with Facebook" business tool with the additional "Data Access Function". Through this,
gCamera offers you the possibility to register via your Facebook account. If you make use of the function, we
receive the following authentication data from Facebook for the registration: Your e-mail address stored there,
your profile name and your profile picture. gCamera stores and processes only the e-mail address. In this
respect, a data transfer takes place. Your Facebook profile name and profile picture are not stored or processed
by us, but are automatically deleted.
If you use the Facebook login on our website or app, Facebook will also collect data through third-party
scripts, process it for Facebook Analytics purposes or pass it on to third parties. . The Facebook privacy
notices explain which data can be collected by means of the Facebook login. This includes data about your
device, your use of gCamera, the websites you have visited, and the advertisements you have viewed.
Unfortunately, it is not technically possible for gCamera to refuse this processing. If you do not want Facebook
to collect data about you in connection with your use of our online offer and use it for its own purposes, you
should not use the Facebook login.
You can disconnect your gCamera account from your Facebook account at any time on our website. In this case, we
need the access data described above from you.

gCamera may send to this phone number important messages regarding the user’s gCamera account and its promotions
and services. gCamera won’t share this phone number with any third party. If a user does not want to sign-up with
his cell phone number, he should choose a different sign-up method on the gCamera app or website xxx.com.
2.7 Required information within the scope of a basic membership

profile next to the member's first name.
All data of the gCamera profile is visible on app for other registered users. In particular, the first name, age,
place of residence, and interests of the customer are visible.
2.8 Conclusion of a premium membership

3. Processing purposes
gCamera processes the personal data of its users for the following purposes. If the data processing is based on
the legal basis of a legitimate interest, we will subsequently also explain our legitimate interest in the data
processing:
To provide the gCamera platform and thus to fulfill the services described in the General Terms and Conditions
or, in the case of the forum, in the Terms of Use. This includes in particular:
· Provision of our website for non-registered users;
· Provision and use of our website and app for
registered gCamera members;
· Providing a contact option and answering inquiries via the platform;
·
Enabling the conclusion of a contract, including invoicing;
· Sending emails and/or push messages with
matches or other messages relevant to the contract.(Legal basis of the processing is the performance of the
contract with you. Legal basis in some cases is also your consent. Legal basis is also our legal obligation and
legitimate interest to provide customer service and improve the customer experience).
· To provide a login
via the gCamera platform, the Facebook login, the Apple login or the gCamera forum. (Legal basis of the processing
is the fulfillment of our contract).
· For abuse prevention and defense. gCamera collects, processes and
uses personal data as well as geodata, which are collected in connection with your registration and the
completion of the gCamera personality test and/or the gCamera profile, for an automated check whether there are
indications or data for an abuse of gCamera. The data is stored in a database and compared with empirical values.
If the automated processing results in a suspicion of misuse, a gCamera employee checks the rating and the
underlying indications as well as any free text information and the stored profile photos. gCamera also provides
its members with a function called "Report profile" and carries out checks of profiles by customer service
employees in the event of contract violations reported by other members. Furthermore, gCamera uses the voluntary
provision of the cell phone number to carry out a mobile phone-based identity comparison as part of a so-called
ID check. (Legal basis is the legitimate interest of gCamera and the gCamera members that the gCamera service is
not abused for contractual and / or illegal acts of third parties. In doing so, we also fulfill our legal
obligation in the area of data security to ensure system security and the detection and tracking of unauthorized
access attempts or accesses).
· For securing your remuneration obligations from the contractual
relationship in the event of default (this only applies to the purchase of Premium Membership via gCamera). If
you do not settle outstanding invoices / partial payments despite repeated reminders, we will transmit the data
required for the implementation of a collection procedure to a collection service provider for the purpose of
trustee collection. Insofar as disputed claims arise, we also transmit necessary data to our payment service
providers for the assertion of our rights (e.g. in the context of conflict resolution for chargebacks). (In
addition to the fulfillment of the contractual relationship, the legal basis is also gCamera's legitimate
interest in the payment of the contractually agreed remuneration).
· For the protection and defense of our
rights and the fulfillment of legal obligations. (Legal basis is our legitimate interest in asserting and
defending our rights).
· For self-promotion through promotional emails and/or push messages, newsletters,
surveys and individualized guides.
· For compliance with statutory retention obligations and other legal
or statutory obligations and provisions (e.g. in connection with tax audits, official or court orders to provide
information and other orders). (Legal basis is the fulfillment of our legal obligations).
· For other
communication purposes in the context of inquiries. (Legal basis may be a pre-contractual legal relationship or
a legal obligation).
· To publish your love story (success story) on the gCamera website and, if
applicable, in other media. (Legal basis is your consent).
The processing purposes and the legal basis for the processing of personal data using "cookies" and other
tracking technologies when using gCamera can be found in our Cookies & Tracking Notice.
4. Disclosure of data to third parties & service providers
As a matter of principle, gCamera will only pass on your personal data to third parties if this is necessary for
the performance of the contract, if we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the transfer, if you
have given your consent for this or if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation. If personal
data is transferred to third parties on the basis of a legitimate interest, we explain our legitimate interest
in these data protection provisions.
In addition, personal data may be transferred to third parties:
· to service providers, insofar as the data is necessary for the execution of a contract processing
agreement with us;
· if applicable, to providers of marketing tracking technologies and analysis tools
(for more information on this, please see our Cookies & Tracking Notice);
· if we should be obliged to do
so in individual cases due to legal requirements or by enforceable official or court order;
· in
connection with legal disputes (vis-à-vis courts or our attorneys), debt collection cases or audits (vis-à-vis
auditors);
· in connection with possible criminal acts to the competent investigating authorities;
·
in the event of a sale of the business (to the purchaser).
Insofar as data may be transmitted to other third parties on a regular basis, this will be explained in these
data protection provisions or in our cookies & tracking notes. In the case of transmission based on consent, the
explanation may also be provided when consent is obtained.
Service providers
gCamera reserves the right to use service providers for the collection or processing of personal data. Service
providers receive from gCamera only the personal data that they need for their specific activities.
gCamera uses - to the extent that service providers are not already named in this Privacy Policy or in our
Cookies & Tracking Policy - service providers for sending e-mails, push messages and newsletters to members,
among other things. Furthermore, service providers provide gCamera with server capacity. If you have purchased
the gCamera Premium Membership through gCamera, external payment services and service providers support gCamera in
processing payments and in the event of collection. gCamera does not collect payment information, but instead
works with payment providers and third-parties. Payment service providers collect this data themselves under
their own responsibility. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider
applies.
Service providers are usually involved as so-called order processors, which may process personal data of users
of this online service. Transmitted to gCamera is only an order ID or equivalent.
Your personal data may also be passed on to third parties (jointly or solely with us) responsible parties, or
processors, who are based in non-EU/EEA countries. In this case, we ensure before the transfer that either an
adequate level of data protection exists at the recipient (e.g. based on an adequacy decision of the EU
Commission for the respective country pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR or the agreement of so-called standard
contractual clauses of the European Union with the recipient pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR using additional
technical and organizational protection measures) or that there is sufficient consent from our users.
5. How do we protect your data?
gCamera uses various security measures, such as state-of-the-art encryption and authentication tools, to protect
the security, integrity and availability of the personal data of its customers and users. In particular, these
are the following measures:
· Strict criteria for authorization to access your data and 2-factor authentication,
· Storage of
confidential data in encrypted form,
· Firewall protection of IT systems to protect against unauthorized
access,
· Permanent monitoring of access to IT systems to detect and prevent misuse of personal data.
6. Storage of data
We store your data for as long as is necessary for the provision of our online services and the associated
services or we have a legitimate interest in the continued storage. In all other cases, we will delete your
personal data, with the exception of data that we must retain in order to comply with contractual or legal (e.g.
tax or commercial) security periods (e.g. blacklisted users).
We store data that is subject to a retention period until the period expires.
The following applies to basic members: You can revoke the storage of the personal data contained in your
profile at any time with effect for the future. You can also delete your profile data yourself.
For premium members applies: The personal data of gCamera premium members are generally stored for the duration
of the contractual relationship. If you ask us to do so, we will delete your data, unless there is a legal
obligation to retain this data.
The uninstallation of the gCamera app on your end device does not lead to the deletion of the data in your
profile. The statements just made about the deletion of basic member or premium member data apply here.
Log files are stored by gCamera for 90 days and then deleted.
If a user has been blacklisted due to the performance of illegal activities that causes harm to our users, we
will store that data for up to 5 years to protect our members and prevent the person from further sign-ups in
the future.
