Every time you access our website, our system and the integrated services (like Cloudflare, see section 6) automatically collect general data and information. This may include your IP address, the date and time of access, the type and version of the browser you are using, your operating system, and the referrer URL (the previously visited page). This data is processed to ensure the smooth operation of our website, deliver its content correctly, and protect our systems from attacks. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

b) Data Provided by You

When you communicate with us via our contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, or other interactive functions, we collect the personal data you provide (e.g., name, email address, telephone number). This data is used solely to process your inquiry or provide the requested services. The legal basis for this is the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures according to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, or your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

The processing of your personal data is based on the GDPR. In particular, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR: Your explicit consent (e.g., for newsletter subscriptions).
• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR: Processing is necessary for the performance 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)(f) GDPR: Processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, such as ensuring the security and functionality of our website and improving our services.

5. Cookies

Our website uses essential cookies to provide its core functionalities. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. We use a persistent session cookie to maintain your user session, for example, to keep you logged in. Unlike a traditional session cookie, this cookie is not automatically deleted when you close your browser, ensuring a more convenient user experience. Our website does not set any non-essential or third-party cookies for analysis or marketing purposes. The use of these essential cookies is based on our legitimate interest in providing a technically flawless and user-friendly website, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

6. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties and Integrated Services

To provide our services, we work with third-party providers. Your personal data will only be disclosed to third parties if this is necessary to fulfill our contract, based on our legitimate interests, or if we are legally obliged to do so. Below we inform you about the services we use:

a) Cloudflare

We use the Content Delivery Network (CDN) from Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). Cloudflare provides a globally distributed network of servers to deliver our website content faster and more securely. To achieve this, all data traffic between you and our website is routed through Cloudflare's servers. This allows Cloudflare to analyze the data traffic to detect and prevent threats to our website (e.g., DDoS attacks or bots). In this context, Cloudflare may process your IP address and other log data. This is based on our legitimate interest in a secure and efficient provision of our online offer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. For more information, please see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

b) PayPal

For processing payments, we use the services of PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg). If you choose to pay via PayPal, the payment data you enter will be transmitted to PayPal. The transmission of your data to PayPal is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (processing for the performance of a contract). You can find more information about PayPal's data processing in PayPal's Privacy Policy.

c) Google Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, your browser must establish a direct connection to Google's servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. For more details, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

d) Font Awesome

For the uniform display of icons, this website uses icons from Font Awesome (Fonticons, Inc.). When you open a page, your browser loads the necessary files from their Content Delivery Network (CDN) to display the icons correctly. For this purpose, your browser establishes a connection with the servers of Font Awesome. This informs Font Awesome that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Font Awesome is in the interest of a uniform and appealing design of our website, which is a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. More information can be found in the Font Awesome Privacy Policy.

e) Social Media Links (Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, Steam)

On our website, we may include links to our profiles on social networks such as Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Steam. These are implemented as simple hyperlinks, not as active social plugins. This means that no personal data is transmitted to these providers simply by visiting our website. Only when you click on one of the links will you be redirected to the respective platform, and only then will data (e.g., your IP address) be transmitted to that provider. We have no influence on the data processing by these platforms. Please inform yourself about the purpose and scope of data collection in the privacy policies of the respective providers.

7. Data Storage and Deletion

We only store your personal data for as long as necessary for the respective purposes or as required by law. Once the purpose of storage ceases to exist or upon your request (e.g., revocation of consent), the respective data will be deleted, provided that no statutory retention obligations exist.

8. Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the GDPR, you have various rights regarding your personal data. In particular, you have the right to:

• Access the data we have stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR),
• Correct any inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR),
• Request the deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”) (Art. 17 GDPR),
• Restrict processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR),
• Object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR), and
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).

To exercise your rights or if you have any questions regarding data protection, you can contact us at any time.

9. Data Security

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. Our security measures are continuously improved in accordance with technological developments.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this privacy policy to ensure that it always meets current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services. Please check this privacy policy regularly for any updates.
