Security of Data

The data sent between you and this website is encrypted.

Collected Data

When your user agent (for example, a browser) sends a request to this website (for example, visiting a page or viewing an image), the server adds an entry to a log in the Combined Log Format (external link). This entry includes:

• Your IP address.
• The time at which you requested the file.
• How you requested the file.
• The name of the file that you requested.
• The technical communication standard used by your user agent.
• The result of your request (for example, if the file was found, whether there was an error, etc.)
• The size of the file that you requested.
• The URL from where you came (for example, if you clicked a link to access a page).
• The user agent string sent by your user agent (usually identifying things such as your operating system and browser).

In addition, when you use a team account, the following information will be recorded:

• The IP address used to log in and information about when you logged in.
• The game's status and the actions taken in the game, including when these actions were taken. Due to the nature of the game, the data can be used to infer information about your location at the time of performing certain actions.

Purpose of Data Collection

The user agent data is stored to be able to analyze traffic patterns in the case of an attack on the website. The data may also be used to collect aggregated user statistics. These aggregated statistics does not contain information that can be used to identify any individual person, and are therefore completely anonymous. The data is not used to profile visitors.

The login information and data about the game progress is used to provide security for the team account and to run the game itself.

Necessity of Data Delivery

The user agent data collected is sent automatically as part of the way the Internet works, and its transmission is therefore a technical necessity. Many user agents allow you to change the user agent string, which will not in any way impact your access to this website. Refer to your user agent's documentation for more information on how to do so for your particular user agent.

The login information and data about the game is necessary to run the game in a secure manner.

Location of Data

The data is located in a server within the European Union.

Access to Data

The server data is accessible to the webmaster for the purposes listed above. The data can also be accessed by the web hosting company, for example for maintenance or security purposes.

Duration of Data Storage

The server log is automatically deleted every month. The log may be stored for a longer period of time, for example if required by law or court order, or in order to secure evidence of an attack on the website.

The game data may be saved until we receive a request to remove the data. However, the game data may be removed sooner at the discretion of the webmaster.

Your Right to Data Insight and to be Forgotten

If you wish to see the data we have about you, or wish for us to delete your data, you can send an e-mail to gamemaster@city-riddles.com.

Unless you have been logged in to a team account at the time, it is not possible for us to connect you to the log entries that your visits have generated. When you send your request, it is therefore necessary for you to provide sufficient information to identify the log entries that you have generated (for example, an IP address and a time). Because we may not send the data of other persons to you, you must also provide sufficient proof that the information represented you at the specific times.

Once we have received your request, we will send you the information we have within 30 days.
