Last updated: November 25, 2024

Hi there! This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your information when you interact with my services, including my website and Newsletter. I take your privacy seriously and aim to keep things transparent. By using my services, you agree to the practices described below.

What Information I Collect

Personal Data

When you use my services, I may collect personal information that can identify you, such as:

• Your email address  (e.g., for signing up for my Newsletter)

• Usage data (details below)

Usage Data

I automatically collect certain information when you access my services. This includes details about your device, browser type, and how you interact with my website, such as the pages you visit and the time spent on them.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

I use cookies and similar tools to improve your experience on my website. These may include:

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function properly.

• Preference cookies: Help remember your settings, like language preferences.

You can adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, but some features might not work as intended.

Newsletter

If you sign up for my Newsletter, I’ll send you updates, special offers, and relevant news roughly once a month. This also means I will add your email address to my mailing list.

I use MailerLite to manage the Newsletter, meaning they may process and store your email address and other information securely.

The legal basis is consent of the data subject (GDPR 6(1)(a)). I process your interaction with my newsletter as described above based on legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

You can always unsubscribe from my newsletter by clicking the Unsubscribe button in my emails.

How I Use Your Data

I use the information I collect for various purposes, such as:

• Providing and maintaining my services

• Sending updates, newsletters, and promotional material (with your consent)

• Analyzing website performance to improve user experience

• Responding to your inquiries or requests

When I Share Your Data

I only share your personal information under specific circumstances, including:

• With service providers: Trusted third parties, like MailerLite, that help me run my services.

• For legal reasons: If required by law or in response to valid legal requests.

• Business transfers: In case of a merger or sale of my business, your data may be transferred.

• With your consent: If you agree to share your data for a specific purpose.

Retention of Your Data

I keep your personal data only for as long as it’s needed for the purposes outlined here or to meet legal requirements. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period unless required for security or legal obligations.

How I Protect Your Data

I use reasonable measures to safeguard your personal information, but no system is completely secure. If a breach occurs, I’ll take appropriate steps to address it promptly.

You have rights regarding your personal data, including the ability to:

• Access, update, or delete your data

To exercise these rights, contact me at dev@ladben.games. Please note that I may need to retain certain information for legal or operational reasons.

Children’s Privacy

My services are not directed at children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect their personal information. If I learn that I’ve collected such data without parental consent, I’ll delete it promptly.

Links to Other Websites

My website may link to third-party sites, which I don’t control. I encourage you to review their privacy policies, as I’m not responsible for their practices.

I may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be updated. For significant changes, I’ll notify you directly (e.g., via email or a site notice).
