Open Telekom Cloud App

For the app to work on your device, it needs access to various functions and data on the device. You need to grant certain authorizations to do so (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR).
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:

Internet communication
The app requires access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or mobile data network for the purpose of accessing Open Telekom Cloud related information and data (for example Status Dashboard, Community, Release notes, Blog entries).

Camera, microphone, USB, photos, videos, message content, etc.
The app requires access to the camera for the purpose of scanning QR codes for the multi-factor authentication (MFA) feature.

Push notifications are messages that the app sends to your device and that are displayed with top priority. This app uses push notifications by default, provided you have given your consent during the app installation or the first time you use the app (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR).

You may revoke your consent at any time on a fine granular level. To do so, please click on more settings within the app, settings, push notifications, and withdraw the push notification elements you would not receive. Elements you want to receive please keep activated.

On top of this you can also fully deactivate receipt of push notifications at any time in your device settings. Please keep here in mind, that you will not receive any more push notifications of the app.
