Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website, I collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the user agent string (used to identify the browser), to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. You can find the privacy policy of the Gravatar service here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to my newsletter, I will process your email address solely to send you updates about my games, major updates, upcoming releases, and future projects. The processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

I use the service Brevo (formerly Sendinblue). The provider is Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. The email address you provide will be transferred to Brevo and stored there to enable the newsletter to be sent. Brevo processes the data on my behalf and in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. By submitting the registration form, you agree that the personal information you provide will be transferred to Brevo for processing in accordance to Brevos privacy policy.

No further personal data is collected as part of the newsletter. Your data will be deleted once you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent.

Media

If you are a registered user and upload photos to this website, you should avoid uploading photos with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website could download and extract location data from such photos.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and log in to this site, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, I will set up several cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and display option cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that website.

Complianz

This website uses the Privacy Suite for WordPress by Complianz to collect and record browser- and device-based consent. For this functionality, your IP address is anonymized and stored in our database. This service does not process any personally identifiable information and does not share data with the service provider. For more information, please refer to the Complianz Privacy Statement.

Contact Forms and Feedback

If you send me feedback via form or email (category, message, optionally your email address), I will process this data solely for handling your request. Processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The data is not stored on the web server but is directly transmitted via email. There is no transfer to third parties. Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for processing your request.

I occasionally use Microsoft Forms for surveys (e.g., on games, streams, or YouTube content). Microsoft Forms complies with GDPR requirements (since May 2018) and stores data in encrypted form – particularly for users in the EU, data is processed on EU servers. If you participate, your responses and information such as participation time and duration may be transmitted to Microsoft. Further information can be found in Microsoft Forms' privacy policy.

Unity Engine

My games were developed using the Unity Engine provided by Unity Technologies, 30 3rd Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

During startup and gameplay, technically necessary data may be processed to ensure the stability and functionality of the games. This may include device information, operating system data, language settings, and technical log data.

Unless additional Unity services such as Analytics, Ads, or Cloud Diagnostics are enabled, no further personal data processing or profiling is performed by us through Unity services.

Further information: Unity Privacy Policy

Use of Steam and Steamworks

My games use the Steam platform and Steamworks services provided by Valve Corporation, P.O. Box 1688, Bellevue, WA 98009, USA, for distribution, license verification, and optional online features.

When launching the games through Steam, data may be processed by Steam or Steamworks. This may include the Steam ID, account-related information, achievements, friends lists, gameplay statistics, cloud save data, and technical connection data.

Valve processes this data under its own responsibility in accordance with its privacy policy.

Further information: Steam Privacy Policy

Delivery of Configuration Data (Empire at Risk)

The game downloads current configuration data from servers operated by us in order to provide daily or time-limited gameplay content.
For this purpose, technically necessary connection data may be processed, including:

• IP address
• date and time of the request
• amount of transferred data
• technical client information

The processing is carried out solely for the purpose of providing and maintaining the functionality and security of the game.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a stable and secure online service).

Who I Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long I Store Your Data

If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows me to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, I also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you can request an export of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request the deletion of any personal data I hold about you. This does not include data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

You may request information about your stored data at any time, as well as request its correction or deletion, or revoke your consent. Just send a message to: privacy@baroxx.tech
