Privacy

This policy applies to the website horrorgamer.de. It is short on purpose, because the site processes very little data: no tracking, no advertising, no analytics, no embedded third-party content, no fonts or scripts from other servers. The German version is legally binding.

Controller

The controller under the GDPR is the provider named in the legal notice (Impressum) (Moritz Eckhard Nickel, LayerNX), where you will find the address and contact details. The website is operated by LayerNX for HorrorGamer and hosted on LayerNX's own server hardware.

Visiting the website and server logs

When you visit the site, your browser transmits technically necessary data, in particular your IP address, date and time, the requested address, the amount of data transferred, browser type and operating system, and the previously visited page (referrer). This data is processed to deliver the site and to keep it secure (e.g. to fend off attacks). The application server of horrorgamer.de does not store IP addresses in its logs. Connections from the internet pass through an upstream tunnel or reverse-proxy service, which may briefly process connection data. Log data is kept for no longer than 30 days.

Legal basis: legitimate interest in a secure and working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Cookies and local storage

For visitors, the site only stores what is technically necessary:

• hg_consent (cookie, 12 months): stores your choice in the cookie notice.
• hg_admin (cookie, admin area only, until logout or at most 12 hours): keeps the site operators logged in. Visitors of the public site never receive this cookie.
• hg_fx (local storage, only with consent to "Comfort"): remembers whether you switched the effects (fog, flicker, animations) off. Without consent the setting only lasts until you close the tab.

Legal basis: Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG (strictly necessary) or Section 25(1) TDDDG and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent, comfort). You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via "Cookies" in the footer.

Contact by email and social media

If you contact us by email, your details are processed to handle your request (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR) and deleted once they are no longer needed and no retention obligations apply. Links to Instagram and other networks are plain links: only when you click them do you leave this site, and the privacy policy of the respective provider applies. No data is sent to these providers beforehand.

External links on artworks

Some artworks link to external sites (e.g. a shop or a film). They open in a new tab without horrorgamer.de sending any data to the provider beforehand. The respective provider is responsible for the linked sites.

Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object (Art. 21 GDPR), as well as the right to withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). Contact: see the legal notice.
