2. General Information on Data Processing
This privacy policy informs you about how personal data is processed when using the game “Frontline Protocol.” Protecting personal data is important to us. Processing is carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
3. Data Collected During Gameplay
When the game is started, technically necessary data is processed to enable gameplay functionality. This includes in particular:
• Steam ID: Transmitted in encrypted form to the lobby server and hashed using SHA-512. The original ID is not permanently stored.
• Save Data: Game progress and acquired content are stored in encrypted form on the database server.
• Assigned Account ID: Assigned server-side and used as an anonymous user identifier after the login.
• IP Addresses: Not logged or permanently stored, but only held temporarily in RAM for network communication.
4. No Registration - No Personal Profiling
No registration using name, email, or password is required. Players authenticate solely via their platform ID (e.g., Steam ID), which is not stored in plain text. No profiling or analysis of user behavior is performed.
5. Deck Names and Free Text Fields
Players can assign names to their own card decks. These names are only visible to the individual player. We explicitly advise against entering any personal data such as names, phone numbers, or email addresses. These entries are not analyzed, linked, or evaluated in any way.
6. Purpose of Processing
The collected data is used exclusively for the following purposes:
• Technical provision of game functionality (login, matchmaking, progress)
• Management of save data
• Prevention of cheating and misuse
7. Data Disclosure to Third Parties
No personal data is shared with third parties. No analysis is performed by external services (e.g., analytics, advertising, etc.).
8. Data Retention
• Hashed platform identifiers and save data are stored as long as active game progress exists.
• Technical data in RAM (e.g., IP addresses) are discarded once the connection ends.
• The original platform ID (e.g., Steam ID) is deleted after the internal account ID has been created.
9. User Rights
As a user, you have the following rights under the GDPR:
• Right to access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
