The data processing is carried out according to the current state of the art.

Regardless of which of our games and other services you use, we will treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations. We will not share it with third parties without your consent, unless permitted by law (e.g., because it is necessary to perform the contract).

You can also unsubscribe from this newsletter free of charge at any time using the unsubscribe button contained in the newsletter.
Newsletters are sent at our request by our service provider. Your e-mail address, which receives our newsletter, and other personal data are temporarily stored on the service provider’s servers. This information is used to send and evaluate the newsletter. For this purpose, so-called tracking pixels are used, i.e. in our newsletter there is a non-visible image file which transmits technical information to the service provider when the newsletter is opened (e.g. whether the newsletter has been opened). Your data will not be used by the service provider independently to send the newsletter.
We also place banner ads on websites, i.e., we provide our partners with a graphic that they can integrate on their website. The banner contains a hyperlink so that the user can reach one of our websites. In order to enable a statistical evaluation, an ID is generated using a pixel-code to determine how users became aware of our products and, if applicable, whether they have completed a payment transaction.
Examples of processed data: IP addresses, the language used, hardware, how the newsletter was handled, i.e., when it was read, and which links were clicked on.

The above processing of personal data is lawful under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
7.9. Processing for legal reasons
We pass on personal data insofar as we are legally obliged to do so. This can happen, for example, as a result of a court or public prosecutor’s order. In doing so, strict attention is paid to ensuring that all statutory requirements are met before passing on the data. In general, only certain data is requested (e.g., technical user data), but in principle the obligation to pass on data may apply to all data collected. Before each transfer of personal data, we critically check whether we are obliged to do so.
We also pass on personal data in the context of legal proceedings (e.g., to external lawyers) if this is necessary to assert our rights (e.g., to protect intellectual property rights).
Examples of processed data: Contact details, user account information.
We will only process personal data for legal reasons as described above if it is compliant with the applicable law. The legal basis is by Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1. lit. c) GDPR for the fulfillment of a legal obligation or under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1. lit. f) GDPR because we have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our rights are safeguarded or enforced.
8. Storage Duration and Deletion of the Collected Data
We store personal data only as long as there is a concrete purpose for this. The duration of the storage depends on the purpose of the processing, the requirements of the processing, as well as on your and our interests and rights and, if applicable, the interests and rights of third parties. We always store personal data as briefly as possible (principle of data economy data/minimization), but at the same time we observe the statutory requirements which stipulate a minimum retention period (e.g., in commercial and tax law of up to 10 years, Sec. 257 para. 4 of the German Commercial Code, Sec. 147 para. 3 of the German Fiscal Code).
In any case, the following shall apply: If the purpose of processing has ceased to exist or if data is no longer required to achieve this purpose and there are no further statutory storage obligations to the contrary, we delete the relevant data (e.g., we delete support tickets at the latest 9 months after we have processed your request).
9. Recipient of Personal Data
To achieve the processing purposes described above, we pass on personal data to various categories of recipients. The concrete passing on of personal data about you depends largely on which of our services you use.
We share personal data with the following categories of service providers as processors: service providers in the context of fraud and manipulation prevention, , to service providers to conduct surveys, to service providers for analysis services, to payment service providers, to service providers for sending newsletter, to service providers for advertising services, data centers, as well as to subsidiaries and affiliated companies within the meaning of Sec. 15 AktG (German Stock Corporation Act).

9.1.1. Google Universal Analytics
Google Universal Analytics is a widely used web analytics service from Google Ireland Ltd. in Dublin. The methods provided by Google Universal Analytics enable a cross-device analysis of website usage by placing cookies. The information generated while using the website is usually transferred to a Google server in the United States of America and also stored there. Google uses the collected information to analyze the use of websites on our behalf, to create reports and to provide services for the purposes of market research and website optimization.

The processing of the data by Google can be prevented by a suitable browser add-on. If you use a mobile device, it is possible to deactivate Google Analytics using the following link. This prevents activity data from being shared with Google Universal Analytics via the JavaScript (gtag.js, ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) executed on websites. For more information about Google Universal Analytics, please consult the Google privacy policy.
9.1.2. Google “Remarketing and similar target groups function”
We use the remarketing feature of Google Ireland Ltd. in Dublin, which allows us to target visitors to a website with personalized and interest-based advertising as soon as they visit another Google Display Network site. For this purpose, Google uses cookies that perform an analysis of website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based online advertising. To carry out this process, Google places a short file with an identification number on your end device, through which website visits and anonymized data on the use of the respective websites are recorded. To the extent that visitors have agreed to have their web and app browsing histories linked by Google to their Google Account, and information from their Google Account is used to personalize ads displayed, Google will use data from these logged-in users along with Google Analytics data to create and define target audience lists for cross-device remarketing. This allows visitors to the website to be addressed with personalized, interest-based advertising across devices. Subsequent visits to other sites on the Google Display Network will display advertisements that most likely reflect the product and information areas previously viewed by the site visitor. If you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can deactivate it by adjusting the corresponding settings at
http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Google’s use of cookies can also be permanently disabled by accessing the following links to the cookie management settings:

9.1.4. Facebooks Ads
We use the remarketing feature of Meta Platforms Ireland, Ltd, Dublin which allows us to target visitors to our Facebook pages with personalized and interest-based advertising. For this purpose, Facebook uses cookies that perform an analysis of website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based online advertising. To carry out this process, Facebook places a short file with an identification number on your end device, through which website visits and anonymized data on the use of the respective websites are recorded. To the extent that visitors have agreed to have their web and app browsing histories linked by Facebook to their Facebook Account, and information from their Facebook Account is used to personalize ads displayed, Facebook will use data from these logged-in users along with Facebook Ads data to create and define target audience lists for cross-device remarketing.
