Our commitment  
Protecting your privacy is of utmost importance to us. Therefore, complying with the statutory data privacy  
regulations forms a natural foundation of our day-to-day work. It is, however, moreover paramount to us that  
you at all times know which personal data we gather, why we gather it, and how we process it. We will be happy  
to explain to you what rights you have and how to exercise them, as well.  
What is personal data?  
To put it briefly, anything whereby you, as an individual, can be identified, whether due to the information itself  
or in connection with other information. Examples of this include your name, e-mail address, or also a customer  
ID, but even the point in time at which you visit our website if that is saved together with your IP address. We  
constantly endeavour to gather as little personal data as possible. Simultaneously, we are informing you in this  
document, in depth, on your personal data, if we gather any.  
Why is this document so long?  
The legislative authority requires us to describe the following to you in regard to all personal data individually:  
-
-
-
-
-
-
which personal data we gather (= the nature of the data gathered)  
which law or ordinance or regulation permits us to do so (= the legal basis)  
why we gather said data (= the intended use)  
what exactly happens to your data (= the nature of the processing)  
how long we save your personal data  
what rights you have in regard to your personal data (= the rights of data subjects)  
We need to list all the steps individually. This is why this document is very extensive.

gathering the data, one or more of the legal bases below will apply:

Consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  
Consent is a declaration of intent. This can be given in writing in the form of a statement, or also  
by way of any other clearly affirmative action. In whatever way the consent is given, it needs to  
be given voluntarily, apply to a specific case, and unmistakably express that the data subject is in  
agreement with the processing of the personal data concerned. For that purpose, the data  
subject needs to be adequately informed and understand the consent.

This means: The processing of the data is, for example, mandatory for us based on a law or other  
regulation.  
Processing in order to preserve legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR  
This means: The processing of the data is necessary in order to, on the one hand, preserve  
legitimate interests on our part or on the part of a third party, as long as your interests or basic  
rights and basic freedoms, which make the protection of personal data necessary, do not  
outweigh the latter.

the processing of data by us in the scope in accordance with the respective article of the General Data

work or the place of the presumed infringement if you are of the opinion that the processing of the personal  
data concerned infringes the GDPR.

Deletion of data and duration of storage  
The personal data of the data subject is deleted or blocked once the purpose of the storage lapses. It may,  
moreover, be stored beyond that time if this has been stipulated by the European or national legislative authority  
in EU ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the Controller is subject. The data may also be blocked or  
deleted if a storage period stipulated by said standards expires, unless the necessity for further storage of the  
data for concluding an agreement or fulfilling an agreement exists.

hereinafter referred to as "Google"). This software gathers information on how you use the game and  
„
(
creates various statistics from that. The usage data gathered in particular includes the specific selection  
of menu items or functions, the time spent on the game or in individual menus or missions, and the  
sequence in which you used the functions of the game, as well as the frequency of playing the game.  
This data is gathered together with your IP address. The IP address transmitted by your browser within  
the context of Firebase is not merged with other data of Google.

Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement  
on the European Economic Area, prior to being transmitted on to the USA.  
Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and truncated  
there.

the game, which does justice to the user’s requirements and takes the user’s usage preferences into  
consideration.  
The legal basis for the passing on of the data to Google is Art. 28(3) and Art. 45(3) GDPR. The service

decision (Implementing Decision 2016/1250) of the European Commission, i.e. the level of data  
protection with the service provider is recognised as being equivalent to that stipulated by the GDPR,

The processing serves the purpose of analysing our games and the usage pattern of the respective  
players.  
d) Duration of the storage
