Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. This may necessitate the transmission of personal data to these external entities. We only disclose personal data to external entities if required for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits data disclosure. When using data processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.


Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.


Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, including profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy.

If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, including profiling related to such direct marketing.

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.


Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing at any time, as well as a right to correct or delete these data. For this purpose and for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.


Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.


If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh the other, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.


SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.


Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to.

Mobile Apps and App Permissions

When you download games as mobile apps or purchase in-app items through an app platform (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play Store), certain information is transmitted to these platforms, including your account details such as name, device identifier, email address, and payment information. We have no control over this data collection and are not responsible for it. Some features of our games require access to specific functions and services on your device. Depending on the mobile operating system you use, certain app permissions may need to be granted.


iOS

Push Notifications: If you select "Allow Push Notifications" in the pop-up window, you allow the app to inform you about certain events in the game, even when the app is not open. You will then receive notifications in the form of sounds, messages, and/or symbols (an image or a number on the app icon). Game Center: Game apps may also provide a connection to Apple's Game Center service, which is subject to Apple's privacy policy available at https://www.apple.com/privacy. If you use the service, such as to receive notifications about achievements, the personal information you provide may be visible to other users and may be read, collected, or used by them. Therefore, you should carefully consider which personal data you want to provide.


Android

External Storage (Modify or Delete the Contents of Your External Storage, Read the Contents of Your External Storage): These functions allow an app to store content on your device externally. The app only uses its own storage space for this purpose. Other data on external storage is not deleted, modified, or read. Internet Connection (Retrieve Internet Data, Full Network Access, View Network


and Wi-Fi Connections): These functions allow the app to retrieve data from the internet and determine whether there is a connection to the internet via a Wi-Fi network or a mobile data connection. This is intended to prevent larger amounts of data from consuming possibly limited data volume. Disable Sleep Mode: This function allows the app to disable the sleep mode of the phone (e.g., to display videos without turning off the screen). To protect your privacy, all app permissions are optional, except for the technical permissions required for the app to run. You can decline them at any time (by clicking "no" or "do not accept"). You can also revoke permissions later by changing the corresponding settings on your device. The purpose of requesting these permissions is to provide the game app and keep you and the game up to date on game updates, game-related news, and notifications. The legal basis for required technical permissions is contract performance under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The legal basis for optional permissions is your consent under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

    Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

    This website uses the visitor action pixel of Facebook/Meta for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

  2. Newsletter Newsletter Data

    If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. For the processing of newsletters, we use newsletter service providers, which are described below.


    Mailchimp with deactivated success measurement

    This website uses the services of Mailchimp for sending newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

    Mailchimp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize the sending of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g., email address), this data will be stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA. We have deactivated success measurement in Mailchimp, so Mailchimp will not evaluate your behavior when opening our newsletters.

    If you do not want your data to be transferred to Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

    The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

    The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.

    After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage on the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
