We take your personal data very seriously and are vigilant with regard to its protection. With this Privacy and Data Policy (briefly “Policy”), we would therefore like to inform you of the purposes for which and how we collect and process your data (including your personal data), when you use our game “The Flower Collectors” (briefly “Game”), which is available on Steam, Microsoft Windows Store & GOG. Hence, this Policy applies and has effect in respect of this Game. Equally, we would like to inform you about any third parties who may receive your data and why.

The Game collects and processes data from individuals under the age of fourteen in the same way as for other users as described in this Policy for enabling us to fulfil our contractual obligations arising from you playing the Game (for details on that legal foundation, please see Article 6 (1) lit b GDPR) and to fulfil our legal and professional obligations (for details on that legal foundation, please see Article 6 (1) lit c GDPR; also see below item 2.1.2 in this respect).

We may make changes to this Policy from time to time in the future, which will be made available here.

Where appropriate, we may also notify you of such changes through the Game.

Game Progress, Achievements and Savegames

The Game collects information about your progress in the Game, that is which level you have reached and thus also which level(s) you have already completed, which achievements (also known as trophies) you have already obtained in the Game, and the game also automatically or upon your request saves your progress in the game to save-games (altogether briefly “Game Progress”).

The purpose of the collection of the Game Progress is to enable us to fulfil our contractual obligations arising from you playing the Game (for details on that legal foundation, please see Article 6 (1) lit b GDPR) and to fulfil our legal and professional obligations (for details on that legal foundation, please see Article 6 (1) lit c GDPR).

The Game Progress is stored locally on your computer in the according game installation folder.  The platform achievements for Steam, Microsoft Windows and GOG are stored on the platform cloud services themselves, namely on Steamworks, Microsoft Xbox Live as well as GOG Galaxy. As we neither store your personal data nor any Game Progress data nor savegames on our servers, Steam’s, Microsoft’s as well as GOG’s privacy policies for Steamworks, Microsoft Xbox Live and GOG Galaxy apply.

Except for the above Game Progress, the Game does not collect any further data from you and your device(s) on which you play the Game.

If you do not provide Game Progress data, you may still play the Game, but you will not be able to save your progress and/or to obtain achievements in the Game.

OUR DATA PROCESSING ACTIVITIES REGARDING YOUR POSSIBLE INQUIRIES AND REQUESTS

If you make an inquiry with us or request something from us (for example via e-mail, mail, fax or telephone), we process the contact data you have provided to us within your inquiry/request, such as your academic title, your name and surname as well as your contact details, such as your e-mail address, telephone number, postal address and/or fax number, for the purpose of answering your inquiry or responding to your request (for details on that legal foundation, please see Article 6 (1) lit b) GDPR).

In order to be able to fulfil the abovementioned purposes, we work together with service providers (briefly “Processors“), who process your personal data on our behalf and for our purposes, but not for their own purposes. The current sole processor is:

For the assertion or defence of legal claims as well as in light of § 1489 of the Austrian Civil Code, we, in particular cases, may store communications regarding bugs and/or other errors in the Game for up to thirty years after the relevant matter has been addressed.

Right to Information (for details, please see Article 15 GDPR): Every data subject has the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data (copy of the personal data which are the subject of the processing) and the following information: (a) the purposes of the processing; (b) the categories of personal data concerned; (c) the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations; (d) where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period; (e) the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing; (f) the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; (g) where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source;(h) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling. The controller shall provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For all further copies which the data subject requests, the controller may request a reasonable fee on the basis of administrative costs. Where the data subject makes the request by electronic means, and unless otherwise requested by the data subject, the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic form;

Right to Rectification and Erasure, for details, please see Article 16 GDPR: The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

Right to Restriction of Processing, for details, please see Article 18 GDPR: The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies: (a) the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; (b) the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead; (c) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or (d) the data subject has objected to processing pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. Where processing has been restricted, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the data subject’s consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. A data subject who has obtained restriction of processing shall be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

Right to Data Portability, for details, please see Article 20 GDPR: Insofar as the processing is based on consent or a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means, the data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

The controller shall then no longer process the personal data, except where he prove compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, which override the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing for the purposes of direct marketing, the personal data shall no longer be processed for this purpose.
