These contact details are therefore relevant for all questions of a data protection nature on this website as well as for all data protection claims on your part.
This data protection declaration explains the handling of personal data.
Instead of a name, the user can also enter a pseudonym. Tellme Live GmbH does not require a clear name.
When the Tellme Live app is downloaded, the information required for this is transferred to the respective app store operator. Depending on the app store, these are, for example, the email address or the customer number of the app store user of the respective app store, the time of the download and an individual device code. However, Tellme Live GmbH has no influence on this data collection and is not responsible for the processing. The corresponding data protection declarations / settings of the respective app store operator apply.
Tellme Live GmbH processes the data provided by the respective app store operator insofar as this is necessary for downloading the Tellme Live app to the end device.
For the technical functionality of the Tellme Live app and for the provision of the services offered with the Tellme Live app, Tellme Live requires various access options and information.
Depending on the operating system, permission to access individual functions and information is requested during the installation process. The access authorizations include, among other things, the location, the notifications, and the mobile data.
Some of these authorizations can be withdrawn manually under the settings of the end device. However, it must be taken into account that the Tellme Live app can only be used to a limited extent or not at all without the corresponding approvals. Depending on the app version, authorizations are requested before or after the installation.
Tellme Live GmbH uses the personal data that the user provides or that arises when using Tellme Live without creating a user profile, without separate consent, exclusively for the implementation of the user relationship and for the legitimate interest of Tellme Live GmbH in accordance with this data protection declaration.
When visiting www.tellmelive.com (on a so-called landing page / start page) or installing the Tellme Live app without creating a user profile, Tellme Live GmbH collects the following data transmitted by the user’s device or browser:
This data is required for the use of the Tellme Live app or for the installation of the Tellme Live app as such or is used for analysis for statistical purposes to optimize TellmeLive. The data is processed and used to prevent and combat fake profiles, illegal activities, and spam as well as to ensure the integrity and stability of the Tellme Live platform. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The location data is collected, processed, and used so that the user can use the so-called location-based service, with which suggestions that are tailored to the respective location are offered to him from registration. The legal basis for data processing is thus the fulfillment of pre-contractual and contractual obligations according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
TellmeLive uses the personal data that the user provides or that arises when using Tellme Live after creating a user profile to implement the user relationship and out of the legitimate interest of TellmeLive in accordance with this data protection declaration. To use Tellme Live to the full extent, it is necessary for the user to create a user profile. To do this, the user must provide additional personal data that TellmeLive GmbH uses to provide the respective service.
When creating the user profile, the following information must be provided:
The data provided are collected, processed, and used for the purpose of using TellmeLive. Among other things, the information is used for addressing, for authentication, for age verification, for personalizing the profile, for displaying other suitable user profiles
We delete this data when you delete your user account. The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Article 6 I lit. b) EU GDPR.
The user can provide a variety of voluntary information in his user profile and set search filters. This serves in particular the function of TellmeLive to select recommendations for other user profiles according to different criteria for the user and to display them within Tellme Live. Additional information increases the likelihood of coming into contact with suitable user profiles. This information is voluntary for the user and can be viewed or entered, changed, or deleted in the profile under Settings.
The data provided will be collected, processed, and used by us for the purpose of using Tellme Live. This voluntary information is visible to other logged-in users within TellmeLive as “public” but can be deleted or changed by the user profile holder at any time under the settings within the user profile. In addition, this data can also be processed and used for advertising purposes.
We delete this data when you delete your user account. The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Article 6 I lit. b) EU GDPR.
Tellme Live’s offer also includes so-called location-based services, with which the user is presented with special offers that are tailored to the respective location. In this way, the user can in particular be shown other users who are in his vicinity. In order to be able to offer these functions within the Tellme Live app, Tellme Live collects location data using GPS from the device used, as well as location data from nearby radio access nodes.
Before the first collection of the location data, the user must allow the collection of the location data. The processing of the location data then takes place in accordance with this data protection declaration.
The user can adjust this function in the settings of the operating system on his device at any time, i.e., allow the recording of the location data or revoke its use.
The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Article 6 I lit. b) EU GDPR.
With the live location function, you can share your location with contacts in real time for a certain period of time. You have control over whether and for how long you share your live location. You can stop sharing your live location at any time. As soon as the pre-set duration has expired or the sharing of the live location has been stopped manually, the live location will no longer be shared. People you have shared your live location with will still see that location as a static thumbnail that they can tap to see your most recently updated location. This feature cannot be seen by anyone except the people you share it with.
The IP addresses and the associated network data (e.g., the country in which the IP is registered) of the users are recorded for security and testing purposes. This is to prevent misuse of the service.
The data is processed and used to prevent and combat fake profiles, illegal activities, and spam as well as to ensure the integrity and stability of the Tellme Live platform.
For this purpose, we save the collected data in full until your profile is deleted. The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Art. 6 I f) EU GDPR.
Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of the Internet browser (so-called session cookies) or on the hard drive of the mobile device or computer used (so-called permanent cookies). The browser settings can be selected in such a way that cookies are refused or indicated before the cookies are set. By setting cookies, users are assigned pseudonymized IDs. Cookies do not run any programs on the user’s device, let alone transmit viruses. Session cookies are deleted from the cache at the end of the browser session.
TellmeLive GmbH also uses cookies to increase the security of ww.tellmelive.com. For example, to authenticate the user during a session, to avoid cross-site scripting or to prevent phishing and fraudulent activities such as scamming.
Tracking providers / analysis services on behalf of TellmeLive GmbH also place cookies on the user’s device in order to record usage data. This is data that can be collected while the user is e.g., B. moves on the pages of the Tellme Live domain or clicks on advertising. These cookies are used to display targeted advertising, to optimize reports on advertising campaigns and to prevent identical advertising from being displayed multiple times.
Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have a setting option that restricts or completely prevents the storage of cookies. However, we would like to point out that the use and in particular the ease of use of Tellme Live may be restricted without the use of cookies.
In order to optimize the services of Tellme Live and to be able to offer them as best as possible, Tellme Live carries out analyzes of visitor behavior. For this purpose, Tellme Live GmbH uses analysis methods with which visits to the Tellme Live domain or Tellme Live app can be analyzed. Tracking tools from third-party providers are also used, through which the range of different advertising campaigns and marketing campaigns can be analyzed. When using third-party tools, personal data can also be transmitted.
In addition to troubleshooting, the purpose of data processing is primarily to optimize TellmeLive with regard to the needs of the users. Tellme Live GmbH also receives key figures about the number of visitors and their temporal distribution, about popular content, and the length of stay of users via the web analysis process. If necessary, it can be traced whether a user profile was created as a result of an advertising measure. The data is processed and used to prevent and combat fake profiles, illegal activities, and spam as well as to ensure the security of the Tellme Live platform. To carry out the analysis, user data is transmitted to various third-party providers. The following analysis and tracking providers are currently used at Tellme Live:
Essentially, tracking and the associated analysis of user behavior are carried out to resolve crashes, errors and to improve the product. The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Art. 6 I lit. f) GDPR.
Google Analytics
TellmeLive uses “Google Analytics”, an offer from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: “Google”). Tellme Live GmbH would like to point out that when using TellmeLive, Google Analytics has been expanded to include the IP masking function “_gat. _AnonymizeIp” in order to ensure that IP addresses are recorded anonymously.
Please note the following information on the use of Google Analytics:
Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on the device and that enable an analysis of the use of Tellme Live. The information generated by the cookie about your use of Tellme Live is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating the IP anonymization, however, the IP address of Google will be shortened beforehand within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. On behalf of Tellme Live GmbH, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of our service, to compile reports on activities and to provide the operator with other related services.
Google Analytics is only used if the user explicitly consents to the setting of cookies. The data is stored for 26 months. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 I lit. a) GDPR. Further information is available at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners/
The Tellme Live domain contains links to the accounts of TellmeLive GmbH on the social networks Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Tik Tok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+. After clicking on the integrated graphic, the user is redirected to the page of the respective provider, i.e., only then is user information transmitted to the respective provider. The legal basis for data processing is then the consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 I lit. a) GDPR.
If the user is logged into their user profile in the relevant social network, they will be assigned to the visit to Tellme Live after activating the button.
If the user does not want the social networks to collect data about the Tellme Live domain, they should log out of the TellmeLive domain accordingly before visiting the Tellme Live domain. However, if the corresponding button is activated with a click, cookie (s) with an identifier will still be set each time Tellme Live is called up. Therefore, this function can be used to collect data and create a profile that can be traced back to a single person. If the user does not want this, he can deactivate the corresponding link within the TellmeLive domain with a click. The user can also set his browser so that the acceptance of cookies is generally excluded; however, we would like to point out that in this case the functionality of Tellme Live may be restricted.

The different data protection provisions of Google apply to this data. Further information on Google’s data protection guidelines can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Legal basis
Tellme Live bases the aforementioned data processing on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. TellmeLive has a legitimate interest in keeping its platform stable and free from SPAM, legal violations, and fake profiles.
With the deletion of the user profile (attention: not by deleting the TellmeLive app!) Or a corresponding notification to us, all collected data of the user will be deleted or anonymized. In addition, the user can delete individual data in the profile himself or request a notification from us at any time.
Excluded from the deletion are data that have to be kept due to legal regulations, for contract execution or for contract fulfillment with other users. In the event of a deletion, Tellme Live does not delete the following data immediately, but only after a period has expired:
Data that you have shared with other users in chats, such as messages or pictures (see below.)
When do we delete data that a user has shared with other users?
We delete data that is publicly accessible in the user profile, e.g., profile pictures, pictures in the stream and the profile data, as soon as immediately according to the above standards.
We cannot simply delete data that a user has shared non-publicly with other users on the Tellme Live platform without interfering with the rights of the other users. Therefore, chat content is only deleted when both users have deleted each other.
When will the deletion take place?
A deletion from the productive databases and thus from the TellmeLive interface will take place as quickly as possible; however, it may take a few days for a deletion from all server tiers, caches, and backup databases of Tellme Live to occur.
If deletion is not possible, the data will be anonymized or blocked.
Regardless of the deletion of the data triggered by the user deleting the profile, TellmeLive automatically deletes historical data that is no longer required to fulfill the contract (e.g., historical location data and IP data) at regular intervals.
TellmeLive GmbH creates so-called backups to secure the data, which are overwritten after a certain period of time and thus permanently deleted. Insofar as these data backups contain log files, these will also be deleted. If a user profile is completely deleted, the log files are also deleted.
TellmeLive GmbH takes the trust of users and the protection of data extremely important. In order to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of user data, to maintain the integrity of the data and to ensure the appropriate use of the data, TellmeLive GmbH uses suitable physical, technical and administrative procedures to protect the information collected by TellmeLiveGmbH.
For the best possible protection of the user’s data, the TellmeLive domain or TellmeLive app is offered via a secure SSL connection, i.e., the data is transmitted encrypted between the servers and the browser as well as between the servers and the app.
