Deep Silver uses its own metrics analysis tools and other analytic technologies when you use our online products and services or play our games on your PC, console and mobile device. These data are anonymous and not personal.
Our websites use Google Inc.’s Google AdSense Resale Technology, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). This technology enables targeted ads to be shown to users who have already visited our online services and are interested in our services. Likewise users who are similar to the visitors of our websites can be addressed. Advertising is displayed using cookies. The information generated by the Cookie about the use of the website is transmitted to Google’s servers in the USA and stored there. If the IP address is transmitted, it will be shortened by the last 3 digits. With Cookies, the user behavior on a website can be analyzed and then used to deliver targeted product recommendations and advertising based on the interests of the user.
Deep Silver uses the Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage web page tags from one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect personally identifiable information. The tool triggers other tags, which may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If disabled at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Deep Silver uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. “1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (” Google “). The use includes the Universal Analytics operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID, thus analyzing the activities of a user across devices. These tools use “Cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer that allow the website to analyze how users use the website.
The information generated by the Cookie about the use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google’s servers in the United States or in certain other countries. If IP anonymization is enabled, Google will, for IP address within a Member State of the European Union and other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, abbreviate / anonymize the last eight digits of the IP address. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent and shortened to Google servers in the United States or certain other countries. Google will use this information on behalf of the website’s provider to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activity for website operators and to use the website provider other services related to website activity and the Internet Use.
Please note, however, that you will not be able to use the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can prevent the collection and use of data (cookies and IP addresses) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-US. Opt-out cookies prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website.
To prevent Universal Analytics tracking across devices, you must opt-out on all systems you use.
For more information, see Cookies.
More information about the Terms of Service and Privacy can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html or at https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/policies/.
Deep Silver uses social media plugins. For example, the “Like” button from the social networking site facebook.com. These plugins are operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins can be identified by one of the Facebook logos.
When an user accesses one of our web pages containing one of these plugins, the internet browser connects directly to the Facebook servers. Facebook sends the contents of the plugins directly to the user’s browser and back.
If you do not want Facebook to collect data from the Deep Silver website and link it to the information stored on Facebook, please log out of your Facebook account before visiting our websites and block the execution of Facebook script content in your browser.
If you are not logged in to Facebook or have not (yet) agreed to your data being collected and used, you should not click on Facebook plug-ins.
Deep Silver also uses Facebook Pixels. The Facebook Pixel is part of the code implemented in our website. Its goal is to show conversions (it shows which devices were used by a user in an action) to create a so-called lookalike audience (ie, to reach users with advertisements that have features similar to other customers and to generate comprehensive statistics on the use of our website.
When you visit our website, the Facebook Pixel creates a direct link to the Facebook servers. In this case, the Facebook server will be informed that you have visited our website and Facebook will assign this information to your personal Facebook profile. This process is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and may help to optimize future advertising efforts.
The data collected is anonymous to us, so do not provide us with any conclusions about the identity of the users.

We use Twitter Inc.’s Conversion Tracking Service, 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (“Twitter”). This tracking records when a user of our website clicks on a link posted by Twitter. In this way, we and Twitter can see if a login has taken place. The identity of the user remains anonymous. In addition, we use the Tailored Audiences Service from Twitter. This allows us to approach our website users with targeted ads. To do this, Twitter uses a code snippet (tag) that we have integrated into our website. During this process, no personal data will be collected. Tailored Audiences is also used to create meaningful target lists.
This is also our legitimate interest in processing your data.
Twitter also supports “Do not Track” (DNT). If you have activated this option in your browser, Twitter will not receive browser-related information (browser cookie ID) from web partners with which it can tailor ads for you.
In our mobile apps we use so-called mobile tracking technologies. We use these services to collect data about the use of our apps so we can constantly improve our offerings. When using our apps, the data you submit will be collected and analyzed.

For Android devices: Open the settings in your app list and tap the “Show” button. If the ad window is open, you can disable the Google Advertising ID.
You can also reset your IFDA or Google Ad ID or assign a new one in the settings.

For payment transactions, your data is encrypted using the SSL process. Our employees are not authorized to request further user data such as bank details or passwords.
Please note, however, that no electronic communication or electronic storage method is completely secure. We remind you that despite our high standards, information that you voluntarily provide on the Web is never guaranteed to be 100% secure. There is always the danger that third parties will gain unauthorized access. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Deep Silver is not responsible or liable for the disclosure of data due to data transmission errors or unauthorized access by third parties.
Your personal information is shared globally with companies of the Koch Group (to affiliates, affiliates and the parent company). Due to the corporate structure, all companies of the Koch Group have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. From time to time, Deep Silver employs third party contractors to collect personal data on our behalf to provide email delivery, product, or promotional fulfillment, contest administration, credit card processing, shipping or other services on our sites. Deep Silver will only pass your personal and/or billing-related data to third parties, external service providers and investigative authorities as far as this is required to fulfil the agreement. We ask some third party contractors, such as credit agencies or market research firms, to supplement personal information that you provide to us for our own marketing and demographic studies, so that we can consistently improve our sites and related advertising to better meet our visitors’ needs and preferences. When our third party contractors collect and/or have access to the personal information you provide to Deep Silver, Deep Silver requires that they adhere to our stated privacy policies and protect the confidentiality of personal information they collect or have access to in the course of their engagement. These third parties are prohibited from using your personal data for any other purpose without your specific consent. Therefore, you may opt in to allow us to share your Personal Data with these companies and organizations that provide products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. To opt out of further communications from a marketing partner or sponsor with whom your information has been shared, please contact that partner or sponsor directly. In any case, you will be notified before your personal data is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your data with that party.
In other cases, your personal information will only be disclosed to third parties with your express consent. However, we may share non-personally identifiable information (in a form that you do not personally identify) with third parties.
Deep Silver may also disclose Personal Data to law enforcement agencies or the relevant civil authorities to enforce legal rights and to comply with the law, or to comply with a decision by a government agency or other competent authority, or if we have reason to believe that disclosure is required to respond to potential or actual violations or interference with our rights, property, reputation, business operations, users or others who may be harmed, or if we believe disclosures are required to protect our rights or us against fraud, or to comply with any Deep Silver lawsuit, court order or legal process served.
Deep Silver is part of a global organization, and the computer systems on which we collect, store and use information are predominantly in the EEA. In certain circumstances, we may use data storage facilities outside the EEA (for example, in the US or Asia).
Your personal data will only be transferred to third countries if this is absolutely necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose of the contract or if you have explicitly consented to the transmission. When submitting your data to a third country, we comply in particular with Articles 44 – 49 GDPR.
More information can be found under the item Your Legal Rights.
You have the right to correct or deleted data that you have entrusted with us at any time.

Further information can be found under the point Your Legal Rights.
Protecting the privacy of children is particularly important to us. Deep Silver understands that parents, guardians or other adults often use our family services, including for use by minors. If a child under the age of 16 (or below the minimum age in the Member State concerned, which can be lower) submits Personal Data to Deep Silver and we learn that such Personal Data contains information of a child below 16 (or below the minimum age in the area, which could be lower) and there is no effective consent, we will delete the data as soon as possible. It is our policy to comply with any applicable law protecting minors.
The consent of children under the age of 16 is only lawful if the parents have given their consent. Each member state of the EU can reduce the age to a maximum of 13.
Deep Silver, taking into account the available technology, makes efforts to make sure that the parents have given their consent to children. Nevertheless, we would like to make parents aware that age verifications can be technically bypassed. Please do not leave your children unattended on the Internet and explain their importance to the proper handling of their data.
If you have any questions, concerns or remarks about data privacy, please contact our data protection officer Mr. Liang Zhang by email to l.zhang@kochmedia.com.
