The app can enable the owner of lost items to easily retrieve them. If an owner has provided his valuable item with a QR code generated and activated in the OLAF-App and if the owner has activated this QR code on the OLAF platform (hereinafter "owner"), a finder of the valuable item (hereinafter "finder") can use the OLAF-App contact the owner and both can agree on the type of handover of the valuable item.
Through the app we enable you to call up and display chats between the owner and the finder of lost objects and - under certain conditions set out below - the owner to call up the codes with which he has provided the object.
When using the app, we may process personal data about you. Personal data is understood to mean all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person.

1.4 Use of the app (owner and finder)
The main object of the app is the sending and receiving of chat messages between the owner of valuables and a finder of an object of value provided with a Patavinus QR code. Both the owner and the finder can enter information within the app. These chat messages are stored in our database. The owner can delete the messages. The finder cannot delete the messages. The Finder needs internet access to send chat messages. This is required to save your entries on our servers.
Separate note:
The chats sent via the app / website can be viewed by anyone who enters the relevant QR code on the website. This should support the sense and purpose of the app so that a finder can easily contact an owner of an object of value. We advise against posting personal information such as name, address, telephone number in the chat. In the end, no personal information is required to hand over an item of value: it is sufficient to agree on a safe (e.g. bright and well-attended) handover location. Ultimately, the finder is also free to hand in the found object of value in a public lost property office or at another public location, e.g. a restaurant, company gate. The finder can anonymously inform the owner of this via the app.
The owner can grant the following authorizations on a voluntary basis:
Camera access: This is required if you do not enter the QR codes by hand but want to scan them with the help of the camera.
Push messages: These are required if you want to be notified, for example, via chat messages from a finder. We also use push notifications to inform you about innovations in the Patavinus service.
