Privacy policy

Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Hosting, domains and server log data

This website is hosted, technically provided and maintained through ChatGPT Sites on behalf of the controller. For individuals in the European Economic Area, the contracting party is OpenAI Ireland Ltd., 1st Floor, The Liffey Trust Centre, 117–126 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 YC43, Ireland. Domain management and redirection of the additional addresses are provided through STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany.

When the website is accessed, technically necessary connection data is processed. This may include the IP address, date and time, requested address or file, referrer URL where transmitted, browser type and version, operating system, device and connection information, as well as status and error data. When a redirecting domain is used, corresponding technical data may already be processed for the redirect.

Processing serves the secure and reliable delivery of the website, error analysis and protection against misuse and attacks. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable and functional operation of this website.

Recipients may include OpenAI Ireland Ltd., affiliated OpenAI companies and the hosting, infrastructure, security, moderation and support providers listed in the current sub-processor list. This includes Cloudflare Ltd. as a content delivery and security provider. Processing may take place within the EEA and, in particular, in the United Kingdom, the United States and other locations identified in the sub-processor list.

Transfers outside the EEA take place under the OpenAI Data Processing Addendum on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. A copy of the relevant safeguards may be requested using the contact address above. Technical log data is processed only for as long as necessary for delivery, stability, security, misuse prevention or legal obligations.

Strictly necessary cookies

Cloudflare may set the strictly necessary cookie “__cf_bm” when the website is accessed. It is used to identify automated access and protect against malicious traffic. It does not contain an advertising ID and usually expires after approximately 30 minutes.

Storage or access is based on Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG. Subsequent processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Analytics or marketing cookies requiring consent are not currently used.

Fonts and media

Fonts and image files are delivered locally through the same website. Loading a page does not automatically establish a connection to Google Fonts, YouTube, Vimeo or an external image service.

Contact by email

If you contact us by email, the data you provide – in particular your email address, name, message content and any voluntary information – is processed to handle your enquiry. This website does not contain a contact form.

Business email mailboxes are provided by STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. A Gmail account connected to the mailbox is also used to process email correspondence. STRATO and Google may therefore process sender and recipient details, time, subject and message content.

For users in the European Economic Area, the responsible Google entity is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Processing by Google in third countries is possible. For contractual or pre-contractual enquiries, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In other cases, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data is deleted once the enquiry has been conclusively handled, unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate grounds require otherwise.

External links and future community services

The website contains simple links to official information services, Royal Engine Studios and David Herrmann's LinkedIn profile. No social media plugins or embedded content are loaded. Your browser only connects to the respective external provider after you click a link. The relevant provider is responsible for subsequent processing on the destination website.

Discord, the gallery, profiles and contact functions are currently mentioned only as planned stages of development. Before they are activated, this privacy policy will be expanded to cover the services and processing actually used.

No tracking, newsletter or user account

DeuZKu currently uses no proprietary audience analytics, advertising pixels, newsletter, user accounts, automated decision-making or profiling on these pages. Before additional functions are introduced, this privacy policy will be expanded and any required consent mechanisms will be implemented.

Your rights

Where the statutory requirements are met, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection and withdrawal of consent with future effect. To exercise these rights, send a message to contact@royalenginestudios.com.

Right to object

Where personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. Processing will then cease unless compelling legitimate grounds or legal requirements justify its continuation.

Right to lodge a complaint

You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority particularly relevant to the controller is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Alt-Moabit 59–61, 10555 Berlin, Germany.

Updates and changes

This privacy policy reflects the current technical scope of the DeuZKu website. It will be updated before analytics, registration, community services, gallery, profile or contact functions are activated.
