Privacy Policy
This policy explains what personal data we process when you use Mental Royale, and on what legal basis, under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Controller
Creationes Virtuales CV GmbH, Bremsstrasse 1a, 50969 Köln, Germany. Email: [email protected]
Represented by the Managing Director: Christian Strang. We have not appointed a data protection officer, as we are not legally required to do so.
Server log files
When you visit this website, our hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits. This includes the IP address, date and time of the request, the requested resource, the referrer URL, and the browser and operating system used. This data is processed to ensure a smooth connection, comfortable use of the website, and to evaluate system security and stability.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of our website). The data is stored only for as long as necessary for these purposes.
Hosting
This website is hosted by DigitalOcean, LLC. When you visit the website, DigitalOcean processes the server log data described above on our behalf as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR. Where data is transferred to servers outside the European Economic Area, the transfer is safeguarded by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Local storage on your device
Mental Royale saves your game progress, scores, streaks and settings directly in your browser using local storage. This data stays on your device, is not transmitted to us or to any third party, and is strictly necessary for the games to work as you expect. Because it is purely functional first-party storage, it does not require your consent under § 25 (2) TDDDG. You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
Analytics (Plausible)
We use Plausible Analytics to understand how our website is used. Plausible is a privacy-friendly analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not store any personal data. It does not track you across websites or devices, and all measurement data is aggregated so that individual visitors cannot be identified. The data is processed on servers within the European Union.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of usage to improve our website). As no personal data is processed and no information is stored on or read from your device that is not strictly necessary, no consent is required.
Language preference cookie
If you explicitly choose a display language, we store that choice in a cookie (mr-locale) on your device so the site can suggest the right language on your next visit. The cookie contains only the language code, is not used for tracking, and is strictly necessary to provide the function you requested (§ 25 (2) TDDDG). It expires after one year and you can delete it at any time in your browser.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the “Controller” section above.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the EU member state of your residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes to our services or legal requirements. The current version is always available on this page.
