Just for the record: I am okay with Georepublic being used. @marcchataigner is surely fine with it too.

The template gives two options: individuals or organisations.
I don't care really, but I also do not know the impllications ... in the end it's about responsibilites probably and so I thought it's better to write a company name.

SERVICE: Does this need to be capitalized? I'm just curious.

Can "Terms and Conditions" be linked to that page ( if there are any? ) Or is that not good formatting for a privacy policy?

The point is @dkastl: we do not have terms and conditions ....


**Information Collection and Use**

For a better experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. The information that we request will be retained by us and used as described in this privacy policy.

The app does use third party services that may collect information used to identify you.

We are working as hard as we can to not allow tracking through the app, I think this is not our goal.

..."in a case of an error in the app we collect data and information (through third party products) on your phone called Log Data."

I think this can be changed a bit.

"...in the case of an error in the app, we collect data and information with third party products on your phone. This is called Log Data."

or

"... in the occurrence of an error in the app, we collect data and information (through third party products) on your phone. This is called Log Data."

It is not too important, but separating this long sentence into two sentences makes it a little easier to understand. Also, the comma is important here.


We want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

We do not have access to Personal information, how should they have? (Whoever they may be)

Yes, the whole section might be able to be removed since Consento doesn't collect personal data.

"We do not knowingly collect identifiable information from anyone, including..." Seems to be more appropriate?
