4. Recording of data on the company website (https://seal.games)
4.1. Recording of data in our Games
When you use our games, we collect and store certain information in order to provide our games and services and to improve the overall gaming experience:
Temporary unique device identifiers and random device identifiers and user-related device identifiers (user IDs)
Progress in the game and playing behaviour
Date and time of the game session
IP addresses and other unique identifiers are theoretically traceable to the user or the device on which the game is played. To protect privacy, technical data identifiers are anonymized or deleted after your gaming session. All other data is used exclusively for statistical purposes to optimize the game. The purpose of temporary storage of this data is to establish a connection to our game servers, which is necessary for the provision of our games and services, and to offer you a more personal gaming experience. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO as well as the legitimate interest in accordance with the European data protection requirements under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. In addition, we apply the above-mentioned security measures to protect all data.
You can register within our games to use additional features. We will only use the data entered for this purpose for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory data requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will refuse registration.
Instead of a direct registration within our games you can register with Facebook Connect. This service is provided by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
Mobile apps and app permissions
When you download games as mobile apps or purchase in-app items through an app platform (such as the Apple App Store or Google Play Store), you submit certain information to that platform, including your account information, such as name, device ID, email address, and payment information. We have no control over and are not responsible for this data collection.
Some features of our games require access to certain features and services on your device. Depending on the mobile operating system you use, certain app permissions may need to be granted.
Push notifications: If you select OK in the “Allow Push Notifications” pop-up window, you allow the app to notify you about certain events in the game, even if the app is not currently open. You will then receive notifications in the form of sounds, messages and/or icons (an image or number on the app icon).
Game Center: Game apps may also connect to Apple’s Game Center service, which is subject to Apple’s Privacy Policy, available at https://www.apple.com/privacy. When you use the Service, for example to receive notifications of achievements, the personal information you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected or used by them. You should therefore carefully consider what personal information you wish to provide.
External memory (change or delete your external memory, read the contents of your external memory): These functions allow an app to temporarily store content on your device. The app only uses its own memory space for this purpose. Other data on the external memory is not deleted, changed or read.
Internet connection (Get Internet data, full network access, view network and Wi-Fi connections): These features allow the app to retrieve data from the Internet and determine whether you are connected to the Internet via a Wi-Fi network or a mobile data connection. This is to prevent large amounts of data from consuming the possibly limited data volume.
Deactivate the hibernation mode: This feature allows the app to deactivate the phone’s hibernation mode (for example, to display videos without turning off the screen).
To protect your privacy, all app permissions are optional, except for the technical permissions required to run the app. You can always refuse (by clicking “no” or “do not accept”). You can also revoke permissions later by changing the appropriate settings on your device.
The purpose of requesting these permissions is to provide the Game App and to keep you and the Game up to date on game updates, game-related news and notifications.
The legal basis for the required technical authorisations is the fulfilment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 letter b DSGVO. The legal basis for optional authorisations is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

The IP address transmitted in conjunction with Google Analytics from your browser shall not be merged with other data in Google’s possession.
Within our games we uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics, to be able to display to the website visitor compatible ads within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be created that contain information about the age, gender and interests of the website visitors. The sources of this information are interest-related advertising by Google as well as visitor data obtained from third party providers. This data cannot be allocated to a specific individual. You have the option to deactivate this function at any time by making pertinent settings changes for advertising in your Google account or you can generally prohibit the recording of your data by Google Analytics as explained in section “Objection to the recording of data”.
Within our games we uses the “E-Commerce Tracking” function of Google Analytics.
