Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy: Your Fundamental Right to Privacy

The strict protection of your personal data is not merely a legal obligation for us; it is a central concern and core value. The use of ShooterBubbles.de is fundamentally possible without providing any personal data whatsoever. With this detailed privacy policy—in strict accordance with the rigorous requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—we want to transparently and comprehensibly explain to you how, why, and to what extent we collect, process, and protect any data. Your ongoing trust is our absolute most valuable asset.

1. Name and Address of the Data Controller

The responsible party within the meaning of the GDPR and other national data protection laws of the member states is the operator of this website. The exact, legally binding contact details as well as the names of the authorized representatives can be found at any time in our comprehensive Imprint. For absolutely all questions explicitly regarding data protection, you can also contact us directly via our Contact page.

2. Collection of General Data and Log Files

Every single time you access our website, our systemic infrastructure (or the server of our designated hosting provider) automatically collects a series of general data and information strictly within so-called server log files. This data is technically absolutely necessary to display the website to you stably, quickly, and securely. Information that may be comprehensively collected includes the browser types and versions used, the operating system of your device, the website from which you reached us (referrer), the date and exact time of your access, and your Internet Protocol address (IP address). We draw absolutely no conclusions about your person from this data; it serves exclusively for danger prevention in the event of severe cyberattacks and for anonymous statistical evaluation to perpetually optimize our servers.

3. Local Storage and Continuous Game Progress

A fundamental and unique feature of our game is the complete absence of cloud storage or required user accounts. However, to still accurately save your current level progress and your hard-earned personal high scores, we heavily utilize the "Local Storage" technology of your modern web browser. Unlike classic cookies, this data is not continuously sent back and forth to our servers but remains entirely local, totally offline, and exceptionally secure on your personal end device. If you ever intentionally clear your browser cache, these local game states will also be irrevocably deleted forever. This is a highly conscious step towards "Privacy by Design", ensuring your absolute data sovereignty.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Providers (Google AdSense)

In order to indefinitely offer ShooterBubbles.de to you 100% free of charge and to successfully cover our constantly rising server and development costs, we explicitly finance ourselves through the display of advertising. For this purpose, we utilize industry-standard advertising networks such as Google AdSense. These major third-party providers may use tracking cookies or web beacons to present you with highly personalized, relevant advertisements based heavily on your previous visits to our site or other websites globally. You have full control, however: Extensive information strictly regarding your rights concerning these tracking technologies as well as highly detailed opt-out options can be found in our comprehensive Cookie Policy.

5. Your Essential Rights as a Data Subject

The formidable GDPR fundamentally equips you with extensive rights. You always have the explicit right to dramatically request free information about any of your personal data securely stored by us, its precise origin and recipients, and the exact purpose of the data processing. Likewise, you have an unassailable right to correction, blocking, strict limitation of processing, or the complete and total deletion of this data at any point. However, since we—as thoroughly explained above—do not create user profiles and the game is played completely anonymously, we generally do not store any data at all that can be personally assigned directly to you (with the singular exception of a short-term storage of email addresses if you occasionally contact us via Support). In the case of severe complaints, you always have the right to lodge a formal complaint with a supervisory authority.
