3. TREATMENT AND OBJECTIVE OF TREATMENT

The basis for our collection and processing of personal information is consent.

It is necessary for us to process personal information so the app can show your stays and your registered catches.

The following is an overview of the purpose of our personal information processing:

4.2   Information we collect when you use our digital services
