The protection of your personal data is important to us. With this data protection declaration, we would like to explain to you in more detail which personal data we collect from you and for what purpose the data is used when you visit our website www.enshrouded.com.

1 Responsible person and contact

Keen Games GmbH Dreieichstr. 59 60594 Frankfurt am Main

If you have any questions or suggestions on the subject of data protection, please feel free to contact us by e-mail at the following address: datenschutz@keengames.com

You can contact our data protection officer at the following e-mail address: dsb@keengames.com

2 Subject of data protection

The subject of data protection is personal data. According to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; this includes, for example, the name or identification numbers.

You can register for our newsletter on our website. To register, we need your email address. You can voluntarily provide us with further information such as your title, first name and surname so that we can address you personally in the newsletter. After sending the newsletter order, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. Registration for the newsletter is only complete when you have clicked on the link in the confirmation e-mail.

We may also send you other promotional communications by email if you consent to the use of your personal data for this purpose.

We also analyse our newsletter campaigns with the help of our service provider MailChimp (see below). When you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to a MailChimp server. This can be used to determine whether a newsletter has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of the call, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. We use the results of these analyses to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

The above data processing is based on your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. When you register for the newsletter or give your consent to other promotional communication, we also store the IP address and the date and time of registration or consent. This data processing is necessary in order to be able to prove that consent has been given (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 DSGVO). We store this data until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or revoke your consent to receive promotional communication.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter or from receiving other promotional communications at any time via the corresponding link in each newsletter or in each promotional communication.

For sending our newsletter and other promotional communication, we use the newsletter service provider "MailChimp", The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA, which processes your data on our behalf, Art. 28 DSGVO. We base the transfer of data to the USA on Module 2 "Controller-to-Processor" standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, which we have concluded with MailChimp, in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO.

4 Google Analytics

If you agree, we will use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

Google Analytics collects pseudonymous data from you about the use of our website, including your IP address, and uses cookies. This data is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, your IP address will not be transmitted to the USA or otherwise stored by Google. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

Your data will be stored by Google Analytics for a period of 14 months. After this period, the data is deleted and only aggregated statistics are kept.

The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent (§ 25 para. 1 TTDSG, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

You can revoke your consent at any time and deactivate Google Analytics using a browser add-on. You can download this here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. You can also revoke your consent via our Cookie Consent Manager by clicking on the "C" at the bottom right and adjusting your settings there. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place until your revocation.

5 Google Tag Manager

If you agree, we use Google Tag Manager, a tool of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). With Google Tag Manager, we can integrate and manage tags on our website. Tags are small sections of code that, for example, track your activity on our website (e.g. Google Analytics).

Google Tag Manager helps to collect data about your web behavior on the website and forwards it to the connected tags, where it is stored and evaluated. Google Tag Manager does not store this data itself, but rather acts as an interface between the website and the analysis tags. However, when the Google Tag Manager is integrated on our website, data such as your IP address and browser information is also transmitted to Google.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on our legitimate interest in providing an efficient and state-of-the-art website and to understand the use of our website (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Google may also process your data at Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is actively certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which governs the secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA.

6 Meta Pixel

If you agree, we use the Meta Pixel, a product of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta") for remarketing purposes. Meta Pixel uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website (e.g. products you have viewed, unique ID numbers that can distinguish you from other users). This information is transmitted to Meta, which enables Meta to identify you across multiple websites. This allows interest-based advertisements ("Facebook Ads") to be displayed to you when you visit the Facebook or other websites that also use the process.

The use of Meta Pixel is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR).

You can revoke your consent via our Cookie Consent Manager by clicking on the "C" at the bottom right and adjusting your settings there. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until you withdraw your consent.

7 Reddit Pixel

If you agree, we use a conversion tracking and remarketing tool, the so-called Reddit Pixel of Reddit Ireland Limited, Reddit EU Data Inquiries, 70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2 Ireland ("Reddit"), to evaluate our advertising measures on Reddit.

The Reddit Pixel collects data from you about the use of our website and uses cookies. With the help of the Reddit pixel, Reddit can determine you as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Reddit ads") based on your visit to our website. We use Reddit pixels to display the Reddit ads placed by us only to those Reddit users who have also shown an interest in our website or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in one of our products). The information collected is transmitted to Reddit. In addition, Reddit and we can use the Reddit Pixel to track the actions of users on Reddit after they have clicked on a Reddit ad. This allows us to record and evaluate the effectiveness of advertisements for statistical and market research purposes in order to optimize future advertising measures.

Reddit is responsible for data processing in connection with the delivery of our ads within the social network. You can find more information about Reddit's data processing here: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/privacy-policy.

The use of the Reddit Pixel is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR).

For this purpose, your IP address may also be collected by Cloudflare. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in securing our IT infrastructure and the efficient and user-friendly design and delivery of our website (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO).
