a) When visiting our websites

When accessing our website “daedalic.com”, “daedalicsupport.com”, “press.daedalic.com” and “ayearofrain.com”,  the browser used on your end device automatically sends information to our website’s server. This information is stored temporarily in a so-called log file. The following information is collected and stored without any action on your part, until its automatic erasure:

  • IP address of the accessing computer
  • Date and time of the access
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file
  • Website from which access was made
  • Browser used and, where applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

 

The aforementioned data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Guaranteeing the smooth connection setup of the website
  • Guaranteeing the comfortable use of our website
  • Evaluating system security and stability, and
  • Other administrative purposes

 

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is derived from the purposes listed above for data collection. Under no circumstances shall we use the data collected for the purpose of making any inferences to your person.

b) When contacting us per E-Mail or using our contact form

For questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on our website or our e-mail address. In this case, your e-mail address is a mandatory data and is required in order to be able to assign and answer the request. Further information can be given voluntarily. The processing of data for the purpose of contacting us takes place in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. a DSGVO based on your voluntarily granted consent. The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be deleted after completion of the request made by you.

 

c) When registering for our newsletter

If you have granted your express permission pursuant to Art. 6 clause 1 first sentence letter a GDPR, we will use your e-mail address to send you our newsletter on a regular basis. In order to receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to only provide an e-mail address.

After you have subscribed to our newsletter, we will email a subscription confirmation to you. You must confirm the receipt of this email to receive our newsletter. This procedure is known as double opt-in procedure. For us, your email response serves as confirmation that you are in fact the person who subscribed to our newsletter.

You can unsubscribe at any time, for example using a link. Alternatively, you can also e-mail your unsubscription request to “pr@daedalic.com” at any time.

Once we have received your cancellation of the newsletter subscription, we will immediately delete your email address from our distribution list.

d) When communicating with our Social Media channels

We use a Social Media Management Software that is connected to our A Year Of Rain Facebook Page, A Year Of Rain Twitter channel, A Year Of Rain Instagram Profile, Daedalic Entertainment Facebook Page, Daedalic Entertainment Twitter channel and Daedalic Entertainment Instagram Page. It collects all users (their name and social media profile URL), their posts, comments and messages that reach us via those platforms. This helps us to react to user requests and issues quickly as well as to further improve our customer service and community management (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). If you contact us via the named channels, we also use this data to resolve and answer your request (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). The data will be processed by the following categories of receivers:

  • Hosting Provider (to host the service and save the requests for us to answer)

  • Social Media Software provider (preparing the requests to be answered and resolved)

  • Daedalic Entertainment and authorized social media moderation partners (to resolve the issue)

3. Forwarding data

Your personal data will not be transferred to any third party for any purpose other than those listed below.

We shall forward your personal data to third parties only

  • if you have given your explicit consent, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR

  • if under Art. 6 (1) f GDPR the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest, which must be protected, in the non-forwarding of your data

  • in the event that there is a legal obligation to forward the data under Art. 6 (1) c GDPR and if this is legally permissible and necessary under Art. 6 (1) b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

4. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that are created automatically by your browser and stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device, and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

The cookie contains information derived in connection with the specific end device used in each case. However, this does not mean that we gain knowledge of your identity by these means.

The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our offer more comfortable for you. Thus we use so-called session cookies in order to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are deleted automatically once you leave our website.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a certain defined period. If your visit our website again, in order to avail of our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already visited us before, and which inputs and settings you established, so that you do not have to repeat the process.

These cookies allow us to recognise automatically, when you visit our website, that you have already visited us previously. These cookies are deleted automatically after a defined period of time.

The data processed with cookies are necessary for the aforementioned purposes to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser in such a manner that no cookies are stored on your computer, or a notification always appears before a new cookie is installed. However, the complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all of the functions of our website.

5. Analytical tools

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are conducted on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we aim to safeguard the needs-based design and ongoing optimisation of our website. On the other hand, we use tracking measures in order to record and analyse statistics for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These interests are deemed to be legitimate under the aforementioned regulations.

Each of the data processing purposes and data categories should be taken from the respective tracking tools.

New Relic

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we use a plug-in from New Relic’s web analysis service. This service is provided by New Relic Inc., 188 Spear Street, Suite 1200 San Francisco, CA 94105, USA.

This service allows statistical evaluations to be made about the speed of the website. Through the plug-in, New Relic receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the website. For this purpose, New Relic collects system data on used add-ons, browsers as well as hardware and software and usage times, so-called application data, for which cookies are set in your browser. If you are logged in as a user at New Relic, New Relic can assign the visit to your local account. If you are not a member of New Relic, there is still the opportunity for New Relic to obtain and store your IP address. The purpose and scope of the data collection, as well as how New Relic processes and uses the data, as well as user privacy settings, can be found in New Relic’s privacy policy: http://newrelic.com/privacy

New Relic is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which guarantees compliance with European privacy legislation.

a) Google Analytics

For the purpose of customizing and continually streamlining our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/) (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereafter "Google"). In this context, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies (see point 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

  • browser type / version,
  • used operating system,
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  • host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
  • time of server request,

are transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and appropriate website design. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf. Under no circumstances your IP address will be merged with any other data provided by Google. The IP addresses are anonymized, so no assignment is possible (IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case not all features of this website may be fully exploited.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https: // tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set that will prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

For more information about privacy related to Google Analytics, see the Google Analytics Help Center (https://policies.google.com/?hl=en).

The service provider is part of the EU-US-Privacy-Agreement.

 

b) GA Audiences

Our website uses GA Audience, a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“GA Audience”). GA Audience uses cookies which are stored on your computer or other mobile devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets, etc.) and which enable use of the corresponding devices to be analyzed. In the process, this data is partly evaluated across multiple devices. In doing so, Google Audience receives access to the cookies created as part of the use of Google AdWords and Google Analytics. Within the scope of the use, data such as IP addresses and activities of the user is transmitted to a server of the company Google Inc and stored there. Google Inc. will transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if this data is to be processed by third parties.

Wenn Sie keine interessenbasierte Werbung erhalten möchten, können Sie die Verwendung von Cookies durch Google für diese Zwecke deaktivieren, indem sie den Anweisungen auf https://www.google.de/settings/ads/onweb#display_optout folgen.

If you do not want to receive interest based advertising, you can deactivate the use of cookies through Google for that purpose by following the instructions here: https://www.google.de/settings/ads/onweb#display_optout 

The service provider is part of the EU-US-Privacy-Agreement.

c) DoubleClick

On this website, the controller has integrated components of DoubleClick by Google. 

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required to execute the technical process. For example, the cookie ID is required to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick may also use the Cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplications. It is also possible for DoubleClick to track conversions through the cookie ID. For instance, conversions are captured, when a user has previously been shown a DoubleClick advertising ad, and he or she subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser's website using the same Internet browser.

A cookie from DoubleClick does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign IDs. A campaign ID is used to identify campaigns that the user has already been in contact with.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a DoubleClick component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to send data for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of any data that Google may use to create commission calculations. Google may, inter alia, understand that the data subject has clicked on certain links on our website.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

​ The service provider is part of the EU-US-Privacy-Agreement.

If you have a user account at the respective plug-in provider and you are logged into this user account at the time, at which you click on the respective plug-in the data transmitted to the respective plug-in provider will be directly allocated to your user account. If you confirm the activated plug-in and e.g. link the page, the plug-in provider will also store this information in your user account and can also notify your contacts to the public. In order to prevent the allocation to your user account at the respective plug-in provider you should log-out from your user account at the respective plug-in provider before clicking the plug-in on Website.
