Provision of the online offer and web hosting

We process user data (in particular the IP address) in order to be able to provide the content and functions of our online offer to the user’s browser or device. Specifically, we use the cloud infrastructure of Oracle Corporation (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) for hosting, operated in the Frankfurt am Main, Germany data center (region "eu-frankfurt-1"), i.e. within the EU. Server access is logged in "server log files" (page/file requested, date/time, transferred data, browser/OS, referrer URL, IP address, requesting provider). Log file data is kept for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted or anonymised, unless retention is required as evidence in an individual case. In addition, our web server (Caddy) keeps an access log (IP address, time, requested address without session ID, status, browser identification, referrer URL and other usual request headers) which is used to detect and defend against attacks and is deleted automatically after 7 days at the latest. The contents of cookies are not logged. Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Content delivery network and security (Cloudflare)

Our online offer is delivered through the content delivery and security network of Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA ("Cloudflare"). Requests to our website first reach Cloudflare servers, which forward them to our hosting server. In doing so, Cloudflare processes your IP address, the date and time of the request, the requested page or file, the browser and operating system information and the referrer URL. Cloudflare uses this data to deliver our website, to protect it against attacks (e.g. DDoS attacks), spam and abusive automated access and to ensure its availability. Cloudflare may process this data on servers worldwide, including outside the EU/EEA, in particular in the USA, and may set technically necessary cookies or similar identifiers for security purposes. Data transfers to the USA are covered by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, under which Cloudflare is certified, and additionally by the standard contractual clauses contained in the data processing addendum of Cloudflare (Art. 28 GDPR). Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) in a secure, stable and fast online offer. Further information: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

Use of cookies

We use technically necessary cookies (session ID, login status) to enable use of the forum. These cookies do not require consent under German law (§ 25 (2) TTDSG), as they are essential for providing the service you explicitly requested.

Registration, login and user account

Users can create a user account (username/pseudonym, password, e-mail address). Pseudonyms may be used instead of real names. When using the registration and login functions, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action to protect against misuse. User profiles are not publicly visible — they can only be viewed by other logged-in, registered members, not by guests. Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR).

To protect against automated registrations we use a security question during registration. Your answer and the technical data needed to check it (session ID, number of attempts) are stored temporarily for this purpose only. Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) in protecting the online offer against misuse.

Community functions

Posts and content created by users are publicly visible and accessible, including to visitors who are not logged in. The IP address and timestamp of each post are stored for the protection of the community. Users may edit and delete their own posts. Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR).

Game-related functions (characters, groups, calendar, guilds)

The forum offers game-related functions. In your profile you can enter character details (first and last name of your character, level, race, class, specialisation, ruleset), manage further characters ("My Characters") and use the Raid Calendar and guild functions including the loot history. For these functions we process the data you enter and your participation (e.g. group applications, calendar sign-ups, guild membership and role, loot entries). This data is visible to other members to the extent required for the respective function (e.g. to group or guild members); the list in "My Characters" is only visible to you. Please do not use your real name as character name. You can edit or delete your entries at any time; for the deletion of your account data see the rights described below. Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR).

Character data and Blizzard (Battle.net)

If you enter your character name, the forum may compare it with the publicly available character data of the Blizzard Armory via the interface (API) of Blizzard Entertainment, in order to retrieve information such as level, race, class and the character image or to verify entries. For this purpose your character name (and the selected ruleset) is transmitted to Blizzard servers, which may be located in the USA. Character images (avatars) provided by Blizzard are loaded directly from Blizzard servers (render.worldofwarcraft.com) by your browser, whereby your IP address is transmitted to Blizzard. This function only works where Blizzard offers the corresponding data for the game in question. Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR) with regard to the function you use; otherwise legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Item and spell tooltips (Wowhead)

To show tooltips (details about items, spells and other game content) for linked game content, pages of our forum that contain links to game content (e.g. items or spells) or the loot history load a script from the servers of Wowhead (wow.zamimg.com), a provider based in the USA. On all other pages no connection to Wowhead is established. When such a page is opened, your browser connects to these servers; in doing so your IP address and technical browser data (e.g. browser type, referrer URL) are transmitted to Wowhead. Without this connection the tooltips cannot be displayed. Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) in an enriched presentation of game content. You can prevent the connection by blocking the script in your browser (e.g. with a content blocker); the forum then works without tooltips. Further information can be found in the privacy policy of Wowhead.

Sending of system e-mails (registration, password reset)

For sending e-mails required for account management (e.g. registration confirmation, sending a new password for "forgot password" requests) we use the e-mail delivery service Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), a service of Brevo SAS, 8 rue de Londres, 75009 Paris, France. The data required for the respective delivery (in particular the recipient’s e-mail address and the message content) is transmitted to Brevo, an EU-based processor. We only send necessary system and account-related e-mails through this service, no advertising or newsletter e-mails. For technical reasons Brevo adds a small tracking pixel to these e-mails and routes links through its own servers, and may thereby record whether and when an e-mail was opened or a link was clicked, together with technical data such as the IP address. This is part of the delivery service and cannot be switched off for our account. Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) in the reliable delivery of system e-mails.

Rights of data subjects

You have the rights under Art. 15 to 21 GDPR, in particular: right of access, right to rectification, right to erasure, right to restriction of processing, right to data portability, right to object, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

The supervisory authority responsible for us is: Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestraße 2-4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany.
