GroupKom can lock user accounts temporarily or terminate or refuse to provide the service EVALARM at any time for any reason, particularly if it has reasonable grounds for believing that a user has violated the Terms of Use.
Access to personal data during
alarming
With
the alerting, personal data is made available to the alarm receivers.
Receivers of an alarm can see who has triggered, changed or ended the
alarm. The user's profile (name, first name, telephone number) is
displayed to the receiver. However, this data can only be viewed by
users with the user roles Administrator, Emergency & Crisis Team
Supervisor and Emergency & Crisis Team Member, Employee and
Guest.
It is also only possible to call up alarm details for an alarm process in which the user is explicitly involved.
This excludes user of the customer with the user roles Super-User and Super-Admin which can see an overview of the alarms.
Archiving and deletion of alarm
data
All alarm
data is automatically archived after an alarm is terminated.
Users with roles Guest and Employee do not have access to archived alarms.
The user roles Administrator, Emergency & Crisis Team Supervisor, Emergency & Emergency & Crisis Team Member and Employee have a 7-day access to archived alarms on the mobile client (App).
In the Webinterface and Desktop Client, the alarms can be reviewed for 3 months unless otherwise agreed. Access to the web console is only possible for the user roles Super-Administrator, Super-User, Administrator, Emergency & Crisis Team Supervisor, Emergency & Crisis Team Member and Employee.
Archived alarms are automatically deleted after 3 months unless otherwise agreed.
Contact lists
Contact
lists are transmitted in case of an alarm. The contact lists are no
longer displayed when an alarm is terminated on the mobile clients
(App). Contact lists can be made available to individual users and
user groups in an alarm-related manner.
Documents
All
documents are encrypted on the mobile devices. By deleting the
account, the documents are automatically deleted on the end devices.
Documents can be centrally created, modified and deleted by the
Administrator and Super-Administrator.
Permissions of Apps
The subsequent accesses to the user's smartphone are exclusively for the functionality of the EVALARM service. Before using some features of the App it is necessary to agree to the permissions using a pop-up.
Location
Uses the location of the device. The location is required when starting and updating the Dead Man's Switch, when creating and updating an SOS alarm, when creating an alarm with the feature GPS-position of the alarm creator enabled and for the defined Guest role (alarm received in the specified radius). No user movement profiles are created. Additionally, the user position will be transmitted if the additional module Intervention is activated for a corresponding alarm type after accepting the alarm.
Photos / Media / Files & Storage
Uses access to files on the device for images, audio elements, or other documents. The application uses this authorization to store and display the documents (PDF documents and logos) on the device for the offline functionality. It also allows the application to add files as alarm attachments.
Camera
Uses the camera of the unit. This authorization is required in the course of the evacuation, visitor management or task completion in order to read QR or barcodes if necessary. It also allows the App to add photos and videos as alarm attachments.
Microphone:
This permission is needed to create voice messages as alarm attachments.
Wireless connection information
Allows the app to get WiFi information, such as whether WiFi is on. It can also be used for locating an SOS alarm. The application checks in some places whether there is an active Internet connection.
Additional permissions for Android:
Identity & Contacts
Uses access to accounts on the device. After logging in, an account is created for background synchronization. This account can be deactivated at any time, then no more background synchronization will be carried out. Background synchronization is required so that not all data is loaded in the event of an alarm. Before an alarm can be displayed, the client must have all data from the environment up to date. If there is no background synchronization, the alarm can take up to 3 minutes to set up if the internet connection is poor.
Phone
Uses access to telephony. Fees may apply. In the application it is possible to make a phone call.
Do not disturb
This permission allows the system to overwrite the phones sound settings and show notifications, even though the „do not disturb“-mode is active.
Battery-Optimization
This permission is necessary to guarantee the alarm delivery because the battery optimization stops the push tunnel connection automatically after 10 minutes. The battery optimization has to be deactivated so that the connection to the servers is not terminated in the background.
Physical activities
Access to the physical activities is needed to automatically update the status of the standalone monitor by movements.
Notifications
This authorization is required from Android 13 so that push notifications can be sent.

The user and customer are liable for all consequences and disadvantages that are caused towards GroupKom through abusive or unlawful use of EVALARM. The user and customer free GroupKom of any claims of third parties on the first demand, which third parties assert because of infringement of rights by the user himself or because of contents created by the user, including the appropriate prosecution and legal costs. The user undertakes to support GroupKom in the defense of such claims.
GroupKom shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, special losses and /or damages to the user arising from the use of EVALARM and are related to a disruption of the communication or power lines, breakdowns of mobile operators, effects of harmful software, unfair acts of a third parties that aim to achieve the unauthorized access and / or the decommissioning of the software and / or hardware of GroupKom, as well as in cases of force majeure.

Claims of customers and users for damages are excluded. Excluded from this are damages claims of the user from the injury of life, body, health, as well as liability for other damages, which are caused by an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by GroupKom, their legal representatives or vicarious agents.
Furthermore, this shall not affect the liability for the breach of obligations, which principally enable the fulfilment of the proper execution of EVALARM in the first place and on which the user can trust for compliance (cardinal obligations).

Liability for damages to persons according to the product liability law remains unaffected.
GroupKom expressly excludes any further warranty, to the extent which is legally permissible.
Change
of Service
GroupKom
is constantly developing EVALARM. That is why the form and type of
the service can be subject to change without notice. GroupKom
expressly reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend
the provision of the service for individuals or all users. Users
agree to be informed of major changes to the service via e-mail.
Final
Provisions / Amendments to the Terms of Use
We
reserve the right to update these Terms of Use from time to time.
Users are informed of the change in a timely manner (e.g. by e-mail,
push message, message in the user / customer account, etc.). The use
of the service EVALARM depends on the currently valid version of the
usage conditions. If the service continues to be used after the
change has come into effect, the user declares his consent to the
changed Terms of Use.
Applicable
law
This
App and the Webinterface shall be governed by the law of the Federal
Republic of Germany under the exclusion of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
This does not apply to the extent that the protection afforded by
mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the user
(consumer) is habitually resident is withdrawn.
Severance
clause
Insofar
as individual provisions of these Terms of Use are or become invalid,
the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. In
place of the ineffective regulation, either the statutory provisions
or, in the absence of such, a regulation is applicable which the
parties had legitimately taken in accordance with good faith if they
had been aware of the invalidity of the respective regulation
concerned.
