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.

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.
