We process your personal data in accordance with:

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – consent (e.g., for gallery or contact access, AI analysis)
Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – to fulfill our contract with you
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – our legitimate interest in providing and improving our service
Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR – when special categories of data are involved (e.g. facial features)

We use this data to operate and improve the app, detect shared experiences, personalize content, ensure performance and security, and comply with legal requirements

1. When using our website or the services offered through it, personal data may be processed. Personal data includes all information that relates to you personally (e.g., name, birth date, contact addresses, and much more). Personal data processing only occurs in compliance with legal provisions (e.g., GDPR). This privacy information aims to provide all necessary information under Art. 13ff GDPR.

2. Contact data, profile data, account information, customer reviews, user data, verification data (identity check through IDs), payment information, company data, location information, and tax data may be processed. The purpose is to enable you to use our internet services.

3.When using Together, we generally collect and store your personal data only to the extent necessary to provide our service and payment service. This applies to customer data. When you create a customer account or profile, we process and store the data you entered in the input mask necessary for providing our services.

4. If you contact us via email, contact form, or other electronic means, the data you provide will also be processed and stored for the intended processing purposes, provided this is necessary.

5. In providing our services, it may be necessary to share your personal data with third parties.

6. Our database is managed by Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure is thus our data processor under GDPR. Microsoft Azure has committed to complying with all data protection regulations and can only access the data you provide and store to fulfill your order.

7. Beyond the legal and factual necessity of data sharing, data is not shared with third parties without your consent or your own action. Also, data is only shared with authorized state institutions and authorities within the scope of legal disclosure obligations or if we are required to provide information by court decision or official order. Data is not transferred to third countries without your consent or explicit request.

8. After terminating your membership with Together, your data remains stored only as long as legal retention obligations exist (e.g., 7 years according to the Austrian Business Code) or it is necessary for legal proof, although we observe the principle of data minimization. If you have created a customer profile, the data remains stored for your own use and interest until you cancel the profile or request deletion. Exceptions are data that cannot or may not be deleted due to legal retention reasons.

9. The purpose of our data processing is to provide our services. By registering on our platform, you consent to the processing of the data you entered. We also have a legal interest in processing if you wish to use our platform.
If you want to register on our platform, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure to complete the registration process. This means we send you an sms to the provided phone number after your registration, asking for confirmation to complete the registration and subsequent use. If you do not confirm your registration within a reasonable time, your information will be locked and automatically deleted after 30 days.

10. During the registration process, the user's name and phone number are collected. The user's selected interests are determined in the onboarding process of the Together app. Photos and videos uploaded by the user are stored by Together in the selected page after creation. Which user gave which emoji on which post is stored by Together when assigning to show the creator of the respective post. If a user clicks the subscribe button of an account or a page, Together remembers this to inform the user in the future when new posts are available. If a user views a post, Together remembers this to avoid displaying the post twice in the feed. If a user accepts a page invitation, Together stores this.

This data is stored until the user requests deletion or the data is no longer needed.

1. To create a customer account, the personal data listed under § 5a is processed. You can then specify a password, with registration completed through email confirmation and link activation. To enable you to use the platform and profile, these and all other data you provide are stored and processed. After registration, you can set up your customer profile.
2. If you unsubscribe from our platform as a user, the collected data will be deleted, provided we are not legally required to retain it.
3. When you use our platform as a registered customer, your user data appears to other registered users. This includes profile data (customer type, etc.); your profile picture, if you upload one; and other self-published data. Third parties cannot view your contact data disclosed to us unless you publish it yourself or share it with those third parties.
4. When you use our platform's search options as a customer, you determine what data you want to search for.

We will store the data as long as necessary for processing, or as legally required, or as deemed necessary for legal reasons.

§ 7 Processing of Data for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Features
Together uses artificial intelligence (AI) to provide its core functionality. The AI system automatically analyzes and groups photos and videos based on shared experiences among users, enabling collaborative albums and a social experience from multiple perspectives. Without this AI functionality, the app cannot be used.

Scope and Type of AI Processing
To detect shared experiences and generate smart album suggestions, the AI system processes:

Timestamps and location metadata of media
Visual image content (e.g. faces, backgrounds, visual similarity)
Device context data such as Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth signals, and motion patterns
User interactions (e.g. reactions, posts, shared albums)
Inferred relationships between users based on mutual activity and media

Some of this data may be processed directly on the user’s device (“on-device processing”) to improve performance and privacy. Other data is processed on secure cloud servers.

Training and Improvement of AI Models
The AI models used by Together may be continuously improved using user data, including uploaded photos, usage patterns, and interaction data. This training is performed in a privacy-preserving manner and may involve both on-device learning and centralized training on our servers. The purpose is to enhance the accuracy and quality of AI-driven features for all users.

Legal Basis for AI Processing
The legal basis for this data processing includes:

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (performance of a contract), as AI functionality is essential for the app’s core features
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), for training AI systems and analyzing sensitive image content
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests), for improving the user experience and ensuring accurate AI behavior
Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, when processing special categories of personal data such as facial features within images

No Solely Automated Decisions with Legal Effect
Together does not make decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant consequences solely based on automated processing, including profiling, unless legally required and with appropriate safeguards.

Data Transfers and Location of Processing
AI processing is conducted on both European and international infrastructure. Some data may be transferred to countries outside the European Union, including the United States, particularly when using services such as Google Cloud, Cloudflare and Microsoft Azure. These transfers are safeguarded using the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other lawful mechanisms.

User Rights and Opt-Out
Since the AI functionality is essential to the operation of the Together app, opting out of this processing is not possible without disabling the service entirely. However, users retain the right to access, rectify, and request deletion of data, and to obtain further information about how AI-driven decisions are made.

§ 8 Cookies
Our website uses "cookies." These are small text files stored on your device using the browser. They do no harm and cannot access your programs. The use of cookies aims to provide us with certain information and to make our internet offering more user-friendly and effective. Our website uses "session cookies," temporarily stored on your device and automatically deleted when you close your browser. Additionally, we use "persistent cookies" on our website, stored on your device to recognize your browser upon a return visit. Using certain cookies is necessary for the functionality of our website and technically necessary to use the website's offering without restrictions and ensure stability (so-called "technical cookies"). Using technically necessary cookies serves to maintain our website's functionality, making the data processing by using these cookies required to safeguard legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). No explicit consent is required for using technically necessary cookies according to the mentioned provision. In addition to these technically necessary cookies, "non-essential cookies" are used on our website for the tracking and analysis tools mentioned under § 7. These cookies allow us to evaluate and better understand your interests. Using such cookies and services enables us to make our online offering more needs-based and effective and target our users with offers. You can choose your browser settings to be informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them in specific cases or generally reject them. Rejecting cookies may restrict the functionality of our website. If you disagree with using cookies, you can refuse or disable this feature in your browser settings.

§ 9 Tracking and Analysis
This website uses the following web analytics and tracking tools. Using these services enables us to optimize the website's offering, design, and usage. Using these analysis and tracking services also serves to statistically capture and evaluate website usage. This is done by using cookies (§ 9), small text files stored on your device, and enabling analysis of your website use. Thus, this processing activity pursues a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Using web analytics and tracking tools leads to the transmission and storage of information about your website use on a server of the provider. If you disagree with this use, you can disable this feature in your browser settings.

§ 10 Google Analytics
Our website optionally uses the web analysis service "Google Analytics" by Google LLC (hereinafter "Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze user website activity. The information generated by cookies (e.g., IP address, browser information, operating system, referrer URL, server request time) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google uses this information to evaluate website use, compile reports on website activity for operators, and provide other services related to website and internet use for market research and website design purposes. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. The IP addresses collected by Google Analytics will not be linked with other Google information. IP address collection can be prevented by activating IP anonymization on this website, within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted. You can prevent the storage of cookies by appropriately adjusting your browser software settings. In this case, some website functions may not be available. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by cookies and related to your website use (including your IP address) by installing the corresponding browser software (browser plug-ins).

§ 11 Meta Pixel and Custom Audiences
Our platform uses the "Meta Pixel" service by Meta Platforms Inc. (hereinafter "Meta") for optional analysis and optimization. Meta operates, among other things, the social media platform "Facebook." Using Meta Pixel and Custom Audiences ensures that our Facebook advertising activities only show to potential interested parties and are not intrusive. With the service's help, we can also understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by logging whether users were redirected to our website after clicking a Facebook ad.

§ 12 YouTube
Some pages of our website include videos and content from the "YouTube" platform, stored at http://www.YouTube.com and viewable or accessible from our website. YouTube is a video platform by YouTube LLC, a subsidiary of Google LLC. Videos are embedded using the so-called two-click solution or extended data protection mode. This means that no personal data is initially transmitted to YouTube when visiting our website. Only when you activate the video by clicking does YouTube receive the information that you accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. Furthermore, information such as IP address, date, and time of the request; time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time; content of the request (specific website); access status/HTTP status code; transferred data volume; website from which the request comes, browser; operating system, its interface, and language and version of the browser software are transmitted. The transmission of information occurs regardless of whether the user has an account on the YouTube platform and is logged in. If you are logged into Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your information collected by YouTube to be linked to your account, you must log out before activating the button. In the case of an existing account, YouTube can use the collected information, in particular, to contextualize and personalize advertising activities on its platform. The data stored by YouTube is used to create user profiles, for advertising purposes, market research, and/or the platform's needs-based design, regardless of whether an account exists. The collected information is evaluated, particularly to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to such user profiling, for which you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. More information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de). There you will also find more information about your rights and settings to protect your privacy.

Personal data includes all information that relates to you personally (e.g., name, birth date, contact addresses, and much more). Personal data processing only occurs in compliance with legal provisions (e.g., GDPR). This privacy information aims to provide all necessary information under Art. 13ff GDPR.

2. Contact data, profile data, account information, customer reviews, user data, verification data (identity check through IDs), payment information, company data, location information, and tax data may be processed. The purpose is to enable you to use our internet services.

When you create a customer account or profile, we process and store the data you entered in the input mask necessary for providing our services.

4. If you contact us via email, contact form, or other electronic means, the data you provide will also be processed and stored for the intended processing purposes, provided this is necessary.

5. In providing our services, it may be necessary to share your personal data with third parties.

6. Our database is managed by Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure is thus our data processor under GDPR. Microsoft Azure has committed to complying with all data protection regulations and can only access the data you provide and store to fulfill your order.

7. Beyond the legal and factual necessity of data sharing, data is not shared with third parties without your consent or your own action. Also, data is only shared with authorized state institutions and authorities within the scope of legal disclosure obligations or if we are required to provide information by court decision or official order. Data is not transferred to third countries without your consent or explicit request.

8. After terminating your membership with Together, your data remains stored only as long as legal retention obligations exist (e.g., 7 years according to the Austrian Business Code) or it is necessary for legal proof, although we observe the principle of data minimization. If you have created a customer profile, the data remains stored for your own use and interest until you cancel the profile or request deletion. Exceptions are data that cannot or may not be deleted due to legal retention reasons.

9. The purpose of our data processing is to provide our services. By registering on our platform, you consent to the processing of the data you entered. We also have a legal interest in processing if you wish to use our platform.
If you want to register on our platform, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure to complete the registration process.

If you do not confirm your registration within a reasonable time, your information will be locked and automatically deleted after 30 days.

1During the registration process, the user's name and phone number are collected. The user's selected interests are determined in the onboarding process of the Together app. Photos and videos uploaded by the user are stored by Together in the selected page after creation.

If a user clicks the subscribe button of an account or a page, Together remembers this to inform the user in the future when new posts are available. If a user views a post, Together remembers this to avoid displaying the post twice in the feed. If a user accepts a page invitation, Together stores this.

  § 7 Cookies
  Unsere Website verwendet sog. „Cookies“. Es handelt sich dabei um kleine Textdateien, die mit Hilfe des Browsers auf Ihrem Endgerät gespeichert werden. Cookies richten keinen Schaden an und können auf Ihre Programme nicht zugreifen. Die Verwendung von Cookies hat den Zweck, uns bestimmte Informationen zufließen zu lassen und ermöglicht es uns, das Internetangebot nutzerfreundlicher und effektiver zu gestalten. Auf unserer Website werden unter anderem sog. „Session-Cookies“ verwendet, die temporär auf ihrem Rechner abgelegt werden und beim Schließen ihres Browsers wieder automatisch gelöscht werden. Darüber hinaus setzen wir auf unserer Website auch sog. residente Cookies ein, die auf ihrem Endgerät gespeichert werden und es und ermöglichen, Ihren Browser bei einem erneuten Besuch unserer Website wiederzuerkennen. Die Verwendung bestimmter Cookies ist für das Funktionieren unserer Website erforderlich und technisch notwendig, um das Angebot unsere Website ohne Einschränkungen zu nutzen und die Stabilität unseres Angebots zu gewährleisten (sog. „technische Cookies“). Die Verwendung technisch notwendiger Cookies dient dem Zweck, die Funktionalität unserer Website zu erhalten, sodass die Datenverarbeitung durch Einsatz dieser Cookies jedenfalls zur Wahrung berechtigter Interessen erforderlich ist (Art 6 Abs 1 lit f DSGVO). Einer expliziten Zustimmung zur Verwendung technisch notwendiger Cookies bedarf es im Sinne der oben genannten Bestimmung daher nicht. Neben diesen technisch notwendigen Cookies werden auf unserer Website auch für die unter § 7 genannten Tracking- und Analyse-Tools Cookies eingesetzt. Diese sog. „nicht erforderlichen Cookies“ ermöglichen es uns, Ihre Interessen auszuwerten und besser nachzuvollziehen. Die Verwendung derartiger Cookies und Dienste ermöglicht es uns demnach, unserer Online-Angebot bedarfsorientierter und effektiver zu gestalten sowie unsere Nutzer gezielter mit Angeboten anzusprechen. Sie können Ihre Browsereinstellung so wählen, dass Sie über die Einrichtung von Cookies informiert werden und jeweils entscheiden, ob Sie diese in besonderen Fällen oder generell akzeptieren oder ablehnen möchten. Die Ablehnung von Cookies kann die Funktionalität unserer Website einschränken. Sollten Sie mit der Nutzung von Cookies nicht einverstanden sein, können Sie diese Funktion in Ihren Browser-Einstellungen ablehnen bzw. deaktivieren.
  
  § 8 Tracking und Analyse
  Diese Website verwendet die im Folgenden genannten Webanalysedienste und Tracking- Tools. Die Verwendung dieser Dienste ermöglicht es uns, das Angebot, die Gestaltung und die Nutzung der Webseite zu optimieren. Dabei dient der Einsatz dieser Analyse- und Tracking-Dienste auch der statistischen Erfassung sowie Auswertung der Nutzung der Website. Dies geschieht durch die Verwendung von Cookies (§ 9), kleine Textdateien, die auf ihrem Endgerät gespeichert werden und die eine Analyse der Benutzung der Website durch Sie ermöglichen. Mit dieser Verarbeitungstätigkeit wird demnach ein berechtigtes Interesse im Sinne des Artikel 6 Abs 1 lit f DSGVO verfolgt. Die Verwendung der Webanalysedienste und Tracking-Tools führen abhängig vom konkreten Dienst dazu, dass Informationen über die Benutzung dieser Website durch Sie auf einen Server des Anbieters übertragen und dort gespeichert werden. Sollten Sie mit dieser Nutzung nicht einverstanden sein, können Sie diese Funktion in Ihren Browsereinstellungen deaktivieren.
  
  § 9 Google Analytics
  Unsere Website verwendet optional den Webanalysedienst „Google Analytics“ der Google LLC (im Folgenden „Google"). Google Analytics setzt Cookies zur Analyse der Webseitenaktivität der Nutzer. Die durch Cookies erzeugten Informationen (z.B. IP-Adresse, Browser-Informationen, verwendetes Betriebssystem, Referrer-URL, Uhrzeit der Serveranfrage) werden im Regelfall an einen Server von Google in den USA übertragen und dort gespeichert. Diese Informationen werden von Google genutzt, um die Nutzung der Website auszuwerten, um Berichte über die Aktivität auf der Website für die Betreiber zusammenzustellen und um weitere Dienstleistungen in Zusammenhang mit der Website- und Internetnutzung zu Zwecken der Marktforschung und Website-Gestaltung zu erbringen. Gegenebenfalls werden die Informationen von Google an Dritte übergeben, sofern dies gesetzlich vorgeschrieben oder soweit Dritte diese Daten im Auftrag von Google verarbeiten. Die im Rahmen von Google Analytics erhobenen IP- Adressen werden in keinem Fall von Google mit anderen Informationen in Verbindung gebracht. Das Erfassen der IP-Adresse kann durch Aktivierung der IP-Anonymisierung auf dieser Website, innerhalb von Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union oder in anderen Vertragsstaaten des Abkommens über den Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum zuvor gekürzt werden. Die Übertragung der „vollen“ IP-Adresse findet nur in Ausnahmefällen statt. Durch entsprechende Einstellungen Ihres Browsers können Sie das Speichern von Cookies verhindern. In diesem Falle können gegebenenfalls nicht sämtliche Funktionen der Webseite zur Verfügung stehen. Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit, die Erfassung der durch Cookies erzeugten und auf Ihre Nutzung der Website bezogenen Informationen (inkl. Ihrer IP- Adresse) an Google sowie die Verarbeitung dieser Daten durch Google zu verhindern, indem Sie entsprechende Browser-Software (Browser-Plug-Ins) installieren.
  
  § 10 Meta Pixel und Custom Audiences
  Unsere Plattform verwendet zur optionalen Analyse und Optimierung des Angebots den Dienst „Meta-Pixel“ der Meta Platforms Inc. (im Folgenden „Meta). Meta betreibt unter anderem die Social-Media-Plattform „Facebook“. Durch die Verwendung des Dienstes Meta-Pixels und von Custom Audiences möchten wir sicherstellen, dass unsere Werbeaktivitäten auf Facebook nur potentiellen Interessenten unseres Angebots gezeigt werden und daher nicht belästigend wirken. Mit Hilfe des Dienstes können wir ferner die Wirksamkeit der Facebook-Werbeanzeigen für statistische und Marktforschungszwecke nachvollziehen, indem über Meta Pixel protokolliert wird, ob Nutzer nach dem Klick auf eine Facebook-Werbeanzeige auf unsere Website weitergeleitet wurden.
  
  § 11 YouTube
  Teilweise sind auf Seiten unseres Webauftritts Videos und Inhalte der Plattform „YouTube“ eingebunden, die auf der Website http://www.YouTube.com gespeichert und von unserer Website aus abspielbar bzw. einsehbar sind.

Zwei-Klick-Lösung bzw. im erweiterten Datenschutzmodus. Das heißt, dass beim Besuch unserer Website zunächst grundsätzlich keine personenbezogenen Daten an YouTube weitergegeben werden.

Die Übermittlung der Informationen erfolgt unabhängig davon, ob der Nutzer unserer Website über ein Konto auf der Plattform YouTube verfügt und bei diesem eingeloggt ist. Wenn Sie bei Google eingeloggt sind, werden Ihre Daten direkt Ihrem Konto zugeordnet. Wenn Sie die Zuordnung der erhobenen Informationen mit Ihrem Konto bei YouTube nicht wünschen, müssen Sie sich vor Aktivierung des Buttons ausloggen. Im Fall eines bestehenden Kontos kann YouTube die erhobenen Informationen insbesondere verwenden, um die Werbetätigkeit auf der eigenen Plattform zu kontextualisieren und personalisieren. Die von YouTube gespeicherten Daten werden unabhängig davon, ob ein Konto besteht, zur Erstellung von Nutzungsprofile sowie zu Werbezwecken, Marktforschung und/oder der bedarfsgerechten Gestaltung der Plattform verwendet. Die Auswertung der gesammelten Informationen erfolgt insbesondere (selbst für nicht eingeloggte Nutzer) zur Erbringung bedarfsgerechter Werbung und um andere Nutzer über Ihre Aktivitäten auf unserer Website zu informieren. Gegen die Bildung derartiger Nutzerprofile steht Ihnen ein Widerspruchsrecht zu, wobei Sie sich zur Ausübung dieses Rechts an YouTube richten müssen.
