Deutsche Telekom Group Privacy attaches great importance to protecting your personal data. We always inform you what personal data we collect, how your data is used, and how you can influence the process.

Voice input (Google) or dictation function (Apple) is a functionality which our app’s operating system provides. During use, a third party processes the speech (e.g., Apple or Google) as processor and delivers the result to our app, entering it into the input field. Contact your specific operating system vendor for details on the functionality, and how you can switch on/off usage.
2. Authorizations

The authorizations are programmed differently by the various manufacturers. Individual authorizations may e.g. be combined in authorization categories, and you can only grant consent to the authorization category as a whole. Please remember that if you withhold consent for one or a number of authorizations, you may not have access to the full range of functions offered by our app.
If you have granted authorizations, we will only use them to the extent described below:
