Website Privacy and Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 19th May 2023


Visiting our website

When you visit our website, we collect the data necessary to display that website to you. This involves personal data, which is transmitted automatically by your browser to our server, including:

  • IP address

  • Date and time of your request/website (application) access

  • Time zone offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

  • Content of the request (information about which specific web page you visited)

  • HTTP status code

  • Transferred data volume

  • Website requesting access

  • Browser (information about your browser)

  • Operating system and interface (operating system of the computer you used to access the website or the application)

  • Language and version of the browser software

Processing of such personal data is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website cannot be accessed and offered to users without using such data; there is a legitimate interest in making it technically possible to access and use the website.

This website is hosted by the service provider Squarespace, and the data collected on our website is therefore stored on the servers of that service provider. Servers are also located in other European and non-European countries. Resultantly, data is transferred abroad, including to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. 


Contact form and contact by e-mail

A contact form is available on our website which you can use to submit questions to us about the game, the website or other enquiries. In order to provide you the content requested, we need to store and process your personal data.

Die Gute Fabrik is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and we’ll only use your personal information to administer your account and to provide the products and services you requested from us. When you contact us via the contact form or by direct e-mail, the data you provide (in particular your e-mail address, your name and surname and the text of your enquiry as well as any other information you may have provided in the contact form or by e-mail) will be stored by us in order to process your enquiry and answer your questions.

We will delete the data generated by your enquiry as soon as it is no longer necessary for processing that enquiry. To the extent that the data is subject to statutory retention requirements, it will be stored for the duration of the prescribed statutory retention period. 


Newsletters

If you subscribe to our newsletter and marketing communication, we store and process your e-mail address so that we can send you the newsletter to which you have subscribed. Data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is carried out on the basis of your consent. You may unsubscribe to the newsletter at any time with effect for the future and thus revoke your consent by clicking on the unsubscribe link sent in the mail. 



Social media

Our website currently contains links to the following social media providers: Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram via the relevant social media links (e.g. in the footer area of each page). In order to avoid unwanted transfer of your usage data (e.g., address of the currently visited page) to these services, you will only be able to access them by clicking on the links. The aforementioned social networks may themselves collect usage and possibly user data. We have no control over the data collected and data processing activities, nor are we aware of how much data is collected, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. Nor do we have any information on the erasure of the data collected by each provider.

Therefore, the information we provide is to the best of our knowledge at the present time:

Your browser may not establish a direct connection to the servers of the aforementioned services until you click on the links. This means that the information that you have visited our website is indirectly (referrer) forwarded to these services. If you are already logged in to the service with your personal user account during your visit to our website, there may be integrations whereby you can click on the social media buttons to “share” the content or leave a comment, etc. If you do not wish any such data transfer, we advise against clicking on the social media buttons.

The purpose and scope of data collection by social media services, as well as the further processing and use of your data there and your rights and options for setting your privacy preferences can be found in the privacy policies for these services.


External Links

Our website contains hyperlinks to websites/services of other providers. When you activate these hyperlinks, you will be redirected from our website directly to the website of the other provider. You can recognize this by the change of the URL. We cannot take any responsibility for the confidential handling of your data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence on whether these companies comply with data protection regulations. Please inform yourself about the handling of your personal data by these companies by referring to the privacy policies on these websites.
