You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

Automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR does not take place. The evaluations described in section 6 are purely statistical and do not result in any decision that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.

Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.

Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.

This website uses no cookies for analytics or advertising purposes and integrates no third-party tracking services. The following table lists every cookie and every comparable entry this website stores on your device. All of them are required for the functions you request, so their storage does not require consent under § 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG.

The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

A user account on status.tw is created exclusively by signing in with Discord. There is no registration form of our own.

During the sign-in we request the identify and email scopes from Discord and permanently store the following details: your Discord ID, your username, your display name, the identifier of your avatar and your e-mail address. We do not store the access token issued by Discord; it is used once to retrieve those details and is discarded afterwards. Discord learns that a sign-in for status.tw is taking place.

Your avatar is loaded directly from Discord’s servers whenever it is displayed. In this context Discord receives your IP address and your browser identification. The provider is Discord Netherlands BV, Schiphol Boulevard 195, 1118 BG Schiphol, Netherlands. For more information please refer to Discord’s privacy policy: https://discord.com/privacy

The session itself is based on short-lived tokens, which are stored in our database as a hash value only.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as we cannot provide the account and the functions tied to it without them. You may have your account deleted at any time. There is currently no button for this purpose; send us a message at the e-mail address stated above and we will delete the account together with its tokens, webhooks and server entries.

Signed-in users may create API tokens in order to use the status.tw interface from their own programs. Of the token itself we store only a hash value and the name you assigned to it.

Every request made with such a token is logged. We record the time, the token and account identifier, the HTTP method, the path called including its query parameters, the status code, the response time, the full IP address and the browser identification. You can inspect this log in your account.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the provision of the interface and on the basis of our legitimate interest in enforcing usage limits and detecting abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The entries are deleted automatically after six months. Requests without a token, i.e., ordinary visits to this website, are not logged in this manner.

You may set up webhooks so that we report events to an address specified by you. We store the target address, an optional secret for signature verification, a description, the events you subscribed to and the target type.

The delivery is routed through a service operated by us at Cloudflare. The target address, the secret and the content of the notification therefore pass through Cloudflare. If you specify a Discord webhook as the target, we transmit the notifications to Discord; what happens there is governed by Discord’s own terms.

For every delivery we log the time, the target address, the status code, the duration, the content sent and an excerpt of the response of your server. These logs are deleted automatically after 30 days.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Operators of Teeworlds servers may claim their servers with us. For this purpose we temporarily store a verification code together with the address and port of the server; requests that are not redeemed are deleted after one hour.

After the verification we store the link between your account and the server as well as the details you provide for display purposes: website, Discord invite and description. These three details are publicly visible. We do not publicly disclose who owns a server. The verification additionally grants you access to evaluations for your server which also contain individual player names; please refer to section 6.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

status.tw regularly queries the public master servers of Teeworlds and records which servers are online and who is playing on them. These data do not originate from you and do not originate from us; they are transmitted by the game servers themselves. Under Art. 14 GDPR we herewith inform you about this processing.

The following data are recorded and stored permanently: the player name, the clan tag, the country set in the game, the score, the skin, the respective server and the point in time. From the connect and disconnect events we derive play times, sessions as well as preferred servers, maps and game types, and we do so across all servers. Operators of a server verified with us additionally see which player names play there regularly and when they were last seen.

Player names are freely chosen and are not accounts: anyone may use any name, and the same name may be used by different people at different times. We do not verify who is behind a name and we make no attempt to link one to a real person. Irrespective of that, you may exercise the rights set out in this policy at any time in respect of entries that concern you.

These data are recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in documenting the public state of the game in a traceable manner and in providing players and server operators with statistics about gameplay. We process exclusively information that is visible within the game to anyone joining the same server. The sources of the data are the publicly accessible game servers and the master servers of ddnet.org. Since the data are publicly retrievable, the recipients are the visitors of status.tw and the users of our interface.

These event data are not deleted automatically, as it is precisely the long-term record that constitutes the purpose of the service. You may object to this processing at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR; please refer to the section “Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)” above. So that we are able to locate the entries concerned, please state the player name and, if possible, the server.

If an error occurs in our systems, we transmit an error report to an external service so that we are able to determine the cause. The provider is Better Stack, Inc.

The report contains the state of the program at the time of the error as well as details of the request that triggered it, including the address called, the browser identification and the IP address. Credentials, cookies and submitted form contents are removed before the report is transmitted.

The storage and analysis of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the error-free and secure operation of his web offerings. An analysis of user behavior does not take place.
