1. General

1.1 I, Klemens Strasser (“I” or “me”), am an Einzelunternehmer (sole trader) registered in Austria in the field of “Dienstleistungen in der automatischen Datenverarbeitung und Informationstechnik”, with a business address at Prangelgasse 1, 8020 Graz, Austria. My email address is support@strasser.app.

1.2 I take your personal data very seriously and am vigilant with regard to its protection. With this Privacy and Data Policy (briefly “Policy”), I would therefore like to inform you of the purposes for which and how I collect and process your data (including your personal data), when you use my game “Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+” (briefly “Game”), which is available on Apple Arcade. This Policy applies and has effect in respect of this Game.

1.3 The Game handles data from individuals under the age of 13, or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction, in the same way as for other users, as described in this Policy, for the purpose of fulfilling my contractual obligations arising from you playing the Game (for details on that legal foundation, please see Article 6 (1) lit b GDPR). If you wish data of individuals under the age of 13 to be deleted, please contact me at the contact information set out in item 1.1 above. The Game is not directed at children under the age of 13. If I discover that I have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, I will take reasonable steps to promptly delete such information.

1.4 Should you have any questions or comments about this Policy, or should you wish to exercise your rights as a “data subject” (for details on those rights, please see item 5 below), please contact me at the contact information set out in item 1.1 above.

1.5 I may make changes to this Policy from time to time, which will be made available here. I encourage you to check here for any such changes from time to time, so you remain fully informed about my data processing activities pertaining to the Game.

2. Data Processing Activities

2.1 Game Progress and Achievements

2.1.1 The Game stores information about your progress in the Game — specifically, which puzzles you have played and completed (briefly “Game Progress”). The Game also tracks achievements you have obtained through Apple Game Center.

2.1.2 The purpose of storing Game Progress is solely to provide the Game to you, including to remember your progress across sessions and across your devices. I do not use this data for any other purpose.

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

2.1.3 Game Progress is stored on services provided by Apple: on Apple’s iCloud for puzzle progress and on Apple’s Game Center for achievements. I do not store your personal data or Game Progress on my own servers. Accordingly, Apple’s privacy policies for iCloud and Game Center apply to the storage and handling of this data.

You may decline to store data in Apple’s iCloud or to send data to Apple’s Game Center:

2.1.4 To learn how Apple’s iCloud and Apple’s Game Center process your personal data, please refer to Apple’s privacy policies:

2.1.5 Except for the Game Progress described above, the Game does not collect any further data from you or your device(s). This does not apply to data you choose to share yourself via the social sharing features described in item 2.3 below.

2.2 Contact Inquiries

2.2.1 If you contact me with a question, bug report, or other inquiry (for example via email), I will process the contact information you provide, such as your name and email address, for the purpose of responding to your inquiry (for details on that legal foundation, please see Article 6 (1) lit b GDPR).

2.2.2 If you do not provide at least one contact detail, such as an email address, I will unfortunately be unable to respond to your inquiry.

2.2.3 In order to handle contact inquiries, I work with the following service provider (“Processor”) who processes your personal data on my behalf and for my purposes, but not for their own purposes:

Processor Home State
Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany: Email service for communication between the user and me. Germany

2.3 Social Sharing

2.3.1 The Game allows you to share a puzzle image upon completing a puzzle, or when revisiting a completed puzzle from the menu. Two sharing options are available:

2.4.2 I do not transmit any data in connection with either sharing option. Both options are entirely optional and have no effect on your ability to play the Game.

2.4 Discord

2.4.1 The Game contains a link to an external Discord server. Tapping this link will navigate you away from the Game and to Discord, a third-party platform operated by Discord Inc. Once you leave the Game, this Policy no longer applies. Any data you provide on Discord — including any information collected simply by visiting — is governed solely by Discord’s own privacy policy, available at https://discord.com/privacy. I have no control over, and am not responsible for, Discord’s data collection or processing practices.

2.4.2 Following the Discord link is entirely optional and has no effect on your ability to play the Game.

3. Data Sharing

3.1 I do not share any of your personal data with third parties for their own purposes.

3.2 With regard to Game Progress stored on Apple’s iCloud and Apple’s Game Center, please see items 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 above. Apple receives data about your game play as part of providing these services.

3.3 I may also share data if required to do so by law, or if necessary to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process.

4. Data Retention

4.1 I do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Game Progress is stored in your personal iCloud account and persists independently of whether the Game is installed on your device — it is not deleted upon uninstalling the Game. This data resides within your own iCloud account and is outside of my control. You can manage or delete it via iOS Settings under your iCloud account.

4.2 Contact inquiry data is retained only for as long as necessary to resolve the inquiry. Once a support case has been fully processed, the associated personal data is deleted.

5. Your Rights as a “Data Subject”
