In the framework of these error reports, the DEUTZ Connect app sends information to Google Inc. about the model and version of the mobile device, the time at which the error occurred, the feature used and the status of the application when the error occurred. This includes, the current RAM capacity, the available disk space and the stack trace. DEUTZ AG receives an evaluation of the error notifications from Google Inc.. It is possible to disable crash report logging in accordance with this Clause 2.4.2 at any time, by deactivating this option in the DEUTZ Connect app settings.
