What is personal data?
In short, anything that identifies you as an individual, whether through the information itself or in connection with other information. Examples of this are your name, your e-mail address or a customer number, but also the time at which you started a multiplayer game when it is stored together with your IP address.

- What kind of personal data do we collect? (= type of data collected)
- Which law, rule or regulation allows us to do so (= legal basis)
- Why we collect this data (= purpose of use)
- What exactly happens to your data (= type of processing)
- How long do we store your personal data
- What rights you have with regard to your personal data (= rights of data subjects)
We are required to list each step individually. That is the reason why this document is very comprehensive.

Either way, the consent must be voluntary, apply to a specific case, and must clearly state that the data subject agrees to the processing of his or her respective personal data. For this purpose, the data subject must be sufficiently informed and understand the consent.

That means: The data is required so that we can fulfill our contractual obligations towards you or we need the data to prepare a contract with you.
• Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation as referred to in Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR
That means: For example, we are required by law or other regulations to process the data.
• Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests as referred to in Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR
That means: The processing of data is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms that require the protection of personal data prevail.

Personal data must be erased if they are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. In addition, storage may take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject.

c) Purpose of the data processing
The processing serves the purpose of analyzing the game and the usage behavior of its players.

e) Possibility of objection and deletion
You can prevent the collection of your usage-related data (incl. your IP address) and its transmission to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by deactivating the "Analytics" option in the configuration menu of the game.
