What do we use your data for?

Part of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. Insofar as contracts can be concluded or initiated through the website, the data transmitted is also processed for contract offers, orders, or other inquiries.

3. General Information and Mandatory Notices

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations, as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various pieces of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for, as well as how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Notice on the Responsible Party

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

Dustin Grüne
c/o IP-Management #4010
Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 18
20459 Hamburg
Germany

Phone: 051517816942
Email: contact@nightscapegames.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion, or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place once those reasons cease to apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data are processed under Art. 9 (1) GDPR. Where you have given explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Where your data is required for contract fulfilment or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where this is required to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is set out in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure. When engaging processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint-controller agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

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

WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 (1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR ANY GIVEN PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. Where you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the scope of applicable statutory provisions, you have the right, at any time, to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions about personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, 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 may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must take place. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, 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, such data — apart from being stored — may only be processed with your consent, or for the assertion, exercise, or defence 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/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

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

4. Data Collection on This Website

Server Log Files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with data from other sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of their website — server log files must be collected for this purpose.

Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry — including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) — will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR), or on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR) where this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

Data you send us via contact inquiries remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully handled). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Extended Privacy Mode

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the platform is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit a page on which YouTube is embedded, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in extended privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in extended privacy mode are not used to personalise browsing on YouTube. Ads shown in extended privacy mode are also not personalised. No cookies are set in extended privacy mode. However, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user's browser, which, similar to cookies, contain personal data and can be used for recognition purposes. Further details on extended privacy mode are available here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

On our website, the video is additionally only loaded after an active click on the preview thumbnail — no connection to YouTube is established before this click.

Activating a YouTube video may trigger further data processing operations over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offering. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Where appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing carried out in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF commits to complying with these data protection standards. Further information is available from the provider at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.
