The subject of data protection is personal data. According to Art. 4 No. 1 of the GDPR, this includes all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; this includes, for example, names or identification numbers.

Generally, we only process personal data that you provide when using our services. If you register as a user for our games, depending on the platform, you may need to provide an email address, a username, and/or a password. When using additional services, such as optional paid services within the games, it may be necessary to provide additional information, such as your full name and payment details.

Legal base for data processing

When you use our services, we will process personal data only with your consent according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a of the European General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"); for the fulfillment of a contract to which you are a party, or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR); for compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR); or if the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or of a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the interests mentioned first (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

3. Collection and use of data for the provision of our services

3.1. Games

Our games can be played via the website and/or mobile applications.

Collection of log files when visiting a website

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects the following log files from the computer system of the accessing computer:

URL of the visited website, date and time of visits, IP address that you use to contact us, browser type and operating system.

We use the log files only for anonymous statistical evaluations. By doing so, no use of data related to personal identification takes place. Furthermore, we may use this data to ensure the operation, security and optimization of the services, as well as to be able to correctly display the contents of the website.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to review the log files if there is a founded suspicion of an abusive use based on concrete evidence (such as cyber attacks, manipulation attempts, use of accounts for fraudulent purposes) to ensure compliance with the Game Rules and the Terms of Use.

For these purposes, our legitimate and predominant interest in data processing is derived from Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

Downloading mobile apps

If you download our games as mobile apps or purchase items via an app store, you transmit certain information to this store (e.g. name, device ID, e-mail address and payment information). We have no influence on this data collection and are not responsible for it.

Account registration data

To be able to use all the functions of our games, you must register as a user. When registering and logging in as a user for our games, you may need to provide an e-mail address, a user name and password, if applicable.

This data is required to create and manage a user account for you and so that you can use all the features of our games. Last but not least, we also need this and, if necessary, other data in order to be able to respond to any queries you may have.

The data provided for user account registration is being transmitted via an encrypted connection. Also, the password is stored in encrypted form, which means that the actual password you provide, is not known to us. Furthermore, we collect the IP address of your device to identify the country you are based in. This data is stored to display you the correct range of payment methods. After creating a user account, your data will be stored until you decide to delete individual data or the entire user account. A delete function is integrated in your game account and can be used at any time under Settings / Account.

The legal basis for data processing is the service provision/fulfillment of the contract with you according to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

Insofar as we process your data for the purpose of providing the functions of our games as described above, you are contractually obliged to provide us with this data. Without this data, we will not be able to provide you with these functions.

Please note that these areas may be publicly accessible depending on your settings and that any personal information you post in them may be viewed by others. We cannot control how other users of our games use this information. In particular, we cannot completely prevent that unsolicited messages in the game may be sent to you.
