a. Storage of user, payment, and game data (Ravensburger)
In order to be able to provide you with the game functions, we store user information (the user ID), information about purchasing processes (in-game currencies and assets acquired) and information on the current score (especially the game progress) on our servers. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we evaluate information about your purchasing processes for accounting and product optimization purposes. This evaluation is not linked to you personally. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
We do not receive any notification if you uninstall the app. Furthermore, we want to allow you to opt back into the game later (including re-access to your in-game currencies and assets). For these reasons, we routinely save your ID with the associated payment and game data for an unlimited time. We treat your data confidentially and erase it if you revoke the rights to its use or if we remove the app from our range and no statutory storage regulations apply. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
b. Recommendations for similar apps (Ravensburger)
If you use the app in online mode, the app communicates with our server using a tool programmed by us. We use this tool for marketing purposes, i.e. to send recommendations for other apps to your device which are displayed while you use the app (e.g. via the buttons “More” or “News” available in the main menu; in rare cases also in the form of pop-ups). These recommendations are not personalized, but compiled based on the app you use. The app sends the following information to our server: the app in which the tool was opened, the type of device (e.g. iPad, iPhone) the app is installed on, as well as which country and language are set on the device. No third party is involved in this communication process. In this context, logfiles are saved to our server, however they are saved without any IP address or specific device ID and therefore anonymously. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
c. Use of social gaming functions (Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook)
Our app offers you the option of using social gaming functions. If you wish to do so, you must log in to the specific social gaming network with your account. As soon as you have done this, the app will provide additional functions such as successes, winner lists, and multiplayer games. It will also access personal data (within a restricted profile) from the social gaming network (e.g. your alias, profile picture, friends who use the app). You may be asked to grant separate permission for access to this data. As soon as you log out of the social gaming network, we have no further access to the restricted profile mentioned above. The additional functionality is then also no longer available. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Furthermore, we may link the ID of your social gaming account to your user ID (details on this are described in § 4 Section 4 lit. a) in order to enable you to use this app across installations and if appropriate also across platforms. We do not use the data provided by social gaming platform operators for other purposes. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR.
As we do not receive any notification if you uninstall the app, we routinely store the ID of your social gaming account for an unlimited time. If, after reinstalling the app, you use the same login to authenticate yourself in the same social gaming network, you can once again access your data linked to your social network ID. We treat your data confidentially and erase it if you revoke the rights to its use or if we remove the app from our range and no statutory storage regulations apply. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

d. Access to the microphone
The first time you use the corresponding functionality in our app, a popup asks you for permission to use your microphone. If you do not give permission, we do not receive access to your microphone. In this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of our app. At a later date, you can retrospectively grant or revoke permission in your device’s operating system settings.
If you permit access to your microphone, the app only accesses it to the extent necessary for providing the functionality. We treat your data with strict confidentiality. As soon as you revoke permission for use, the app can no longer access your microphone. In this case, the additional functionality is no longer available.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.
