PRIVACY POLICY 1. CONTROLLER Responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the GDPR: Maik Winkler, Northside Interactive 57299 Burbach, Germany Email: mw.winkler.forge.interactive@gmail.com 2. GENERAL NOTES ON DATA PROCESSING When you visit this website, the hosting provider (Base44, a company of the Wix.com group) automatically stores information in so-called server log files that your browser transmits. This includes: IP address, date and time of access, browser type and operating system. This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and ensure its security (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR — legitimate interest). The log data is deleted after a short period. 3. LANGUAGE SETTING Your selected language (German/English/Polish) is stored locally in your browser (cookie or local storage). This setting contains no personal data and can be deleted at any time via your browser settings. 4. CONTACT FORM AND EMAIL If you contact me via the contact form or by email, the data you provide (name, email address, if applicable category and message) will be processed and stored to handle your enquiry (Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR). No data is passed on to third parties. You may request the deletion of your message at any time. 5. DONATIONS / PAYMENTS For donations I use the payment services of the Base44 platform (Wix Payments). The payment process — including the entry of your payment data — takes place on the secure pages of the payment provider. Payment data (e.g. name, email address, billing address) is processed by the payment provider in accordance with its privacy notices. I myself only store the amount, the payment status and the email address transmitted by the payment provider for booking and processing the donation. This data is not passed on for tax or any other purposes. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (contract) as well as statutory commercial and tax retention obligations. 6. STEAM BUTTON STATISTICS When you click a Steam button (e.g. "Wishlist" or "Visit on Steam"), this click is recorded anonymously: the page on which it was clicked and the selected language. No personal data (no name, no email address) and no identifiers are stored. This statistic serves solely to understand which areas of the website are well received (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). 7. EXTERNAL CONTENT AND FONTS This website loads fonts from Google Fonts (Google Ireland Ltd.) and links to the Steam platform (Valve Corporation). When you click on such a link you leave this website; the privacy notices of the respective providers apply to the processing of your data on the target pages. 8. YOUR RIGHTS AS A DATA SUBJECT You have the right at any time to: • Access to your stored data (Art. 15 GDPR) • Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR) • Erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR) • Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) • Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) • Objection to processing (Art. 21 GDPR) You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). To exercise your rights, an informal email to mw.winkler.forge.interactive@gmail.com is sufficient. 9. STORAGE PERIOD Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the purposes stated or as required by statutory retention obligations (e.g. commercial and tax obligations for donations). After that, it is deleted. 10. STATUS Status: September 2026. If the offer or the services used change, this privacy policy will be updated accordingly.
