This Privacy Policy applies to the website http://www.gameCode.ai (hereinafter "Website") offered by us as well as our services communicated and/or usable via the Website, in particular within the scope of our products and services via the gameCode.ai platform made available in accordance with a contractual agreement with us (hereinafter "gameCode.ai services").

The protection of your privacy is very important to us and a matter of course. Below, we provide you with detailed and comprehensive information about how we handle your data and your rights in relation to your personal data that we process when you use our Website and as part of our other services and products. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified.

2.1 Type and Scope of the Processing of Personal Data: We process personal data only to the extent permitted by law and in particular to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our other services and products.

2.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data: Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to data processing that is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of you or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of us or a third party and if the interests and your fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

2.3 Deletion of Data and Retention Period: The personal data processed by us for the purposes described below will generally be deleted or protected/blocked by technical measures (e.g. anonymisation) as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies. This also takes place when a prescribed storage period expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the personal data for another storage purpose. Unless we are legally obliged to store the data for a longer period (e.g. due to tax or commercial law retention obligations) or to disclose it to third parties (in particular law enforcement authorities), the decision as to which personal data we process depends on which functions of the Website or other services and products you use in each individual case.

2.4 External Links: Please note that links on our Website may take you to other websites that are not operated by us, but by third parties. Such links are either clearly labelled by us or are recognisable by a change in the address line of your browser. If these websites are not operated by us, we are not responsible for compliance with data protection regulations and the secure handling of your personal data on these websites operated by third parties.

3.1 Server Log Files: When you visit our Website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the respective server of our Website. This information is temporarily stored in a log file ("server log file"). The following information is recorded and stored until it is automatically deleted: IP address of the requesting computer shortened by the last octet; date and time of access; name and URL of the retrieved file; website from which the access is made (referrer URL); browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer; and the name of your access provider.

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes: ensuring a smooth connection to the respective website; ensuring a comfortable use of our Website; checking and ensuring system security and stability; and for further administrative purposes. Your IP address is collected in particular for the detection of malware and bots, for retrospective observation and analysis of attacks and unauthorised access attempts and for blocking IP addresses that lead to a high load on our Website.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the aforementioned purposes of data collection. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. We routinely delete this data after six (6) months at the latest, or in any case after the purpose of the processing no longer applies. We do not merge this personal data with other data sources. Disclosure only takes place insofar as this is necessary for the operation of our Website with regard to processors in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, e.g. with storage by our host provider. The collection of data for the provision of the Website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the Website; consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

3.2 Contact Request: If you send us an email using the contact option provided on our Website or contact us by any other means of communication, the personal data you provide (name, email address, your IP address and the date and time of the contact enquiry) will be stored and processed by us. The processing of this personal data is necessary for answering your request. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in responding to your request within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If, after you have contacted us, a contract is concluded with us in relation to the use of the platform, the further processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The personal data will be processed for as long as is necessary to answer your request; if no contract is concluded, the personal data will be routinely deleted every six (6) months at the latest. We do not merge your personal data with other data sources. Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. The provision of your personal data in this context is voluntary, so please only provide the personal data that you consider necessary to answer your enquiry.

3.3 Newsletter: If you subscribe to our newsletter via the means provided on our Website, you consent to receive it. Registration is carried out in a double opt-in procedure: after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. Subscriptions are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process (time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address). The data entered in the registration form will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. The newsletter and the performance measurement associated with it are sent on the basis of the consent of the recipients in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. You can unsubscribe at any time without giving reasons; a link to unsubscribe can be found at the end of each newsletter. Your data will be deleted by us immediately after cancellation.

3.4 Social Media Buttons and Accounts: We also use social networks, in particular Facebook and Instagram (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.), X (Twitter International Unlimited Company) and LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company). Social network plugins/buttons may be integrated on our Website; we only use such buttons/plugins if you have given your consent as part of the cookie consent tool or via the so-called two-click solution. Only when you have given your express consent or activate the respective button/plugin will a direct connection to the server of the respective social network provider be established. We also operate our own accounts on social networks and process your personal data to protect our legitimate interests in providing up-to-date information and interaction opportunities in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Where the respective provider uses this information to provide us with statistical information, we are jointly responsible with the provider within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR and have concluded joint controllership agreements. Data may be transferred to countries outside the European Union; the contracts with these providers contain the EU standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR, and the parent companies of Meta and Twitter are certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR). Further information can be found in the privacy notices of Meta, X and LinkedIn.

4.1 Log In: If we have contractually granted you a right of access to the services of our gameCode.ai platform, we collect the following personal data during the registration process for the purpose of legitimising your right of access: first name and surname, email address and company affiliation, if applicable. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the execution of your user contract with us; if you are granted access by our direct contracting party ("client"), the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to fulfil our contractual obligation towards our client. We delete this personal data after termination of the user contract, unless we are obliged to retain it for a longer period due to legal regulations.

4.2 Contents of the gameCode.ai Services: As part of the contractual agreement with you or our client, the gameCode.ai platform can be used in particular to make image or video material of relevant sports and game scenes accessible, to collect further (personal) sports and game data on the platform and to analyse (personal) data from these or other sources according to your personal KPIs — also AI-based. If you access and use our gameCode.ai services via your contractual right of access, we act as a processor for you or our client in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and provide an order processing contract in accordance with Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR. The data subjects are usually the athletes shown or otherwise depicted in the data; the legal basis for the processing of their personal data may in particular be your legitimate interest (or that of the client) in the respective data analysis pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

In order to make visiting our Website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. Some cookies are deleted at the end of the browser session (session cookies), others remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). We use technically necessary cookies as well as analysis and marketing cookies; these are always visible via our cookie consent tool at the bottom of the Website.

The purpose of technically necessary cookies is to ensure the functionality and user-friendliness of the Website; the legal basis is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Marketing and analysis cookies are used to collect and analyse statistical data on website usage and are only set if we have obtained your prior consent; the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Cookies are stored on your device, and you have full control over their use: you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser, and cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. If cookies are deactivated for our Website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions to their full extent.

Cookie Consent Tool: We use a consent management tool on the Website to request consent for data processing or the use of cookies or comparable functions. You can give or refuse consent for all functions or individual purposes, and change your settings or withdraw your consent at any time via the "Cookies" button at the bottom of our Website. In the course of using the tool, your consent(s) or revocation, IP address, browser and device information and the time of your visit are processed; the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. An overview of the cookies we use can be found in the list of the consent management tool.

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only transfer your personal data to third parties if: a) you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; b) this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR; c) there is a legal obligation for transfer/disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR; d) transfer/disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or e) this is carried out by a carefully selected service provider acting on our behalf and on our exclusive instructions with whom we have concluded a contract for order processing (Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR).

Transfer to service providers for the purpose of order processing takes place in the following areas: technical provision and programming of the Website, user communication, provision of software as a service, cookie consent tool. Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the gameCode.ai services are communicated within the framework of the order processing contract. If we process data in a third country (outside the EU/EEA), this will only take place if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are ensured, e.g. on the basis of an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR or the EU standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

As a data subject you have the right to: request information about your personal data processed by us (Art. 15 GDPR); request the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data (Art. 16 GDPR); request the erasure of your personal data (Art. 17 GDPR), unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; demand the restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR); receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or request its transmission to another controller (Art. 20 GDPR); and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).

The supervisory authority responsible for our registered office is the Bavarian State Commissioner for Data Protection, Wagmüllerstrasse 18, D-80538 Munich, Email: poststelle@datenschutz-bayern.de. To assert your rights as a data subject, simply send an email to info@gamecode.ai.

If your personal data is processed on the basis of consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without giving reasons. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal, simply send an email to info@gamecode.ai.

If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, provided there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation. If your objection is directed against direct advertising, you have a general right to object without justification. If you wish to exercise your right to object, simply send an email to info@gamecode.ai.

We use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. We continuously adapt our security measures in line with technological developments. We use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser — as a rule, 256-bit encryption. However, we would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps; complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Due to the further development of our Website and services or due to changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to change this Privacy Policy. You can access and print out the current Privacy Policy at any time on this page. Status: September 2024.
