5. Access to personal data in mobile applications
The mobile application for Comarch IBARD Service may have access to your personal data such as phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and SMS/MMS messages. The application does not share personal data with the company or any other third-party service. If you choose to transfer or share your data in the cloud service, your data will be stored only in this service and only on configured accounts.
As part of Comarch IBARD Service, the user may use the mobile application to upload files to the server and download files from the server at their own discretion. Additionally, the application has the ability to make backups and automatically upload them to the server, and restore the following categories of data from the server:
– SMS/MMS messages
– Contacts
– Calendars
– Music
– Videos
– Photos
The user may select any combination of the listed groups to be backed up and uploaded to the server. Backup copies (of the selected groups) may be created automatically – according to a schedule set (by the user). Apart from creating and restoring backup copies, the application makes it possible to browse the contents of Comarch IBARD drive.
Comarch IBARD Service mobile application:
– does not collect device location data
– does not record the contents of the user’s screen
Personal data collected in the application’s memory (cache) on your device may only be collected to perform certain features for you. Such data is encrypted in a way that prevents unauthorized access.
6. Data access permissions for Android mobile devices

After the message restoration process is complete, Comarch IBARD application asks the user to restore the previous message management application.
