As such personal data can also be shared with third parties, such as payment and hosting providers. The main functionalities of the application concern the uploading and publishing of the so-called Appaviews.

In principle, Appaviews of the user become visible to all users of the application, notwithstanding the possibility of sending an Appaview specifically to a certain user. The profile of the user is shielded from other users.
An Appaview is scanned by way of the application after it has been published by the user, after which it is removed from the servers that Appaview B.V. uses, in the understanding that an Appaview is also saved as favourite on the device of the user. Appaview B.V. does not control how long users save Appaviews on their device.
Appaviews of the user become public to other users of the application pursuant to any applicable privacy settings of the user as stated in his account.
Users can save Appaviews as a favourite without being required to get permission. In doing so, the user creates a list by which he can easily find the favourite Appaviews.
In addition to the specifically described forms of data processing, Appaview B.V. can use the personal data received from users to:
- memorise personal data, in order to avoid the user having to enter them each time, e.g. for a next visit;
- distribute among multiple devices of the user;
- collect anonymous usage data, in order to improve product and services of companies to the user by way of the application;
- diagnose or solve technical problems;
- show products and services of companies to the user by way of the application. The user can indicate his preferences with regard to the application.

- the relation between the purpose of the intended processing and the purpose for which the data was obtained;
- the nature of the relevant personal data;

- the data processing is necessary in order to comply with a legal requirement to which Appaview B.V. is subject;
- the data processing is necessary to indemnify a vital interest of the user; or
- the data processing is necessary to look after the justified interest of Appaview B.V. or of a third party to which the personal data is made available, unless the interests or the fundamental rights and freedom of the user, and in particular the right to the protection of privacy, prevails.
HOLDING PERSONAL DATA
Appaview B.V. will not hold personal data in a form that enables the identification of the user for longer than necessary for the realisation of the purposes for which it is processed.
