The protection of personal data is important to us. We process data therefore exclusively on the basis of the legal regulations (DSGVO, TKG 2003). In this privacy statement we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within our websites.

Data storage

Our websites run on the servers of the Austrian provider world4you - World4You Internet Services GmbH, Hafenstrasse 47-51, A-4020 Linz - whose hardware is also stationed in Austria.

From solved puzzles we save time, solution time, by deleting the last 8 bit anonymized IP address and possibly your comments. We need this data for creating the lists of dissolvers and statistical processing. The data is stored exclusively at the provider as well as a backup on our local computers.

With the exception of the blogs, our websites are self-developed and based on native HTML and PHP. As blog software we use serendipity. Both serendipity and the databases used also run on our provider's servers. Thus, the data submitted via blog comments remain on this server in Austria.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device using the browser. They do no harm.

We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit it, for example, to restore the state of a puzzle that has already begun.

If you do not want this, you can set your browser to notify you about cookies, and you will only allow this on a case by case basis.

Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Web analytics

Our website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics, Contract Administration Department Google Ireland Ltd. Gordon House Barrow Street Dublin 4 Ireland. For this purpose, cookies are used that allow an analysis of the use of the website by its users. The information generated thereby is transmitted to the server of the provider and stored there.

You can prevent this by setting up your browser so that no cookies are stored.

We have concluded a corresponding contract data processing contract with the provider.

Your IP address is captured, but immediately pseudonymized by deleting the last 8 bits. As a result, only a rough localization is possible.

The data processing takes place on the basis of the legal regulations of the § 96 Abs 3 TKG as well as the art 6 Abs 1 a) (consent) and / or f (legitimate interest) of the DSGVO.

The user data is kept for a period of 26 months.

Newsletter

You have the opportunity to subscribe to a newsletter - our messenger - if you want to be made aware of new puzzles. For this we need your e-mail address and your declaration that you agree with the subscription to the newsletter.

Our "messenger" is self-made. The self-written program runs on the server of the provider and stores there also the e-mail addresses used for the messenger in a text file.

Once you sign up for the newsletter, we will send you a confirmation email with a link to confirm your registration.

You can cancel the subscription to the newsletter at any time. Click on the corresponding link in the newsletter, it leads to the unsubscribe page. We will immediately delete your data in connection with the newsletter dispatch.

Your rights

You are entitled in principle to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and opposition. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection claims have otherwise been violated in a way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority.

Copyrights and links

All contents (puzzles, photos, texts and program elements) are protected by copyright, they are intended for private use and may not be reproduced in any form, modified or made accessible to third parties without our express permission.
