2. OUR DATA PROCESSING ACTIVITIES REGARDING THE GAME
• 2.1 Game Progress, Achievements and Savegames
• 2.1.1 The Game collects information about your progress in the Game, that is which level you have reached and thus also which level(s) you have already completed, which achievements (also known as trophies) you have already obtained in the Game, and the game also automatically or upon your request saves your progress in the game to savegames (alltogether briefly “Game Progress”).
• If you do not provide Game Progress data, you may still play the Game, but you will not be able to save your progress and/or to obtain achievements in the Game.
• 2.1.2 The purpose of the collection of the Game Progress is to enable us to fulfil our contractual obligations arising from you playing the Game (for details on that legal foundation, please see Article 6 (1) lit b GDPR) and to fulfil our legal and professional obligations (for details on that legal foundation, please see Article 6 (1) lit c GDPR).
• 2.1.3 The Game Progress is stored on services provided by Apple, namely on Apple’s iCloud for savegames and on Apple’s Game Center for achievements. As we neither store your personal data nor any Game Progress data nor savegames on our servers, Apple’s privacy policies for iCloud and Game Center apply. You may decline to store data in Apple’s iCloud or to send data to Apple’s Game Center. To turn off Apple’s iCloud data storage, you must turn off iCloud in Apple Settings for our game. As a result, you will only be able to play in offline mode without any possible online multiplayer features and you will not be able to load your savegames on another device whilst you may still begin a new game on another device and save your game locally on your device(s). To stop sending data to Apple’s Game Center, you must sign out of Apple’s Game Center in Apple Settings. As a result, you will not be able to obtain any achievements in the game or get an entry in Apple’s Game Center leader boards.

3. Right to Restriction of Processing, for details, please see Article 18 GDPR: The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies: (a) the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; (b) the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead; (c) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or (d) the data subject has objected to processing pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
