Website and downloads

This notice covers tarkovraidbuddy.de, including download and update files. The website runs on a Hostinger VPS. Requests involve necessary connection data, including IP address, requested file, time and information supplied by the browser. Processing enables delivery and security of the service. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is safe and reliable operation.

The website server does not keep a regular access log. Technical errors may appear in operational logs, potentially including request or connection data. Container logs rotate according to size, limited to three files of 10 MB each per container; this does not imply a fixed deletion period in days. Necessary records of specific security incidents may be retained until the matter is resolved. Hostinger describes its own infrastructure processing in its privacy policy and data processing terms.

Language, media and tracking

We do not use analytics, advertising or profiling trackers, or cookies on this website. Fonts, images and videos load from our website server. There are no embedded Discord, payment-provider or external video widgets.

When you select a language, your browser remembers it in local storage as raidbuddy-language. Only “de” or “en” is stored, with no user identifier. This value is not sent to us and remains until you clear the website's stored data. It supports your requested language setting (Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG). The website still works if local storage is unavailable.

Email contact

If you email us, we process your email address, message and any details you voluntarily provide to handle your request. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or, for contract-related requests, Article 6(1)(b). Messages are retained only as needed to handle the matter, for legitimate evidentiary purposes or to meet statutory retention requirements.

The contact address uses Gmail. Google therefore also processes messages; processing outside the EU, particularly in the United States, is possible. See Google's privacy policy for recipients and transfer safeguards. Please do not send passwords or unnecessary sensitive information.

Discord and voluntary support

Discord, Buy Me a Coffee and other sources are ordinary external links. Your browser connects to those services only when you open their links. Their respective privacy policies then apply. We do not collect payment details on this website.

If you contact or support us through the linked services, we may see your display name, message and details of your support there. We use these to communicate and identify the support, based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and, where required for legal obligations, Article 6(1)(c). Retention depends on the relevant purpose and applicable statutory periods.

Optional squad feature in the app

When you create or join an online squad in RaidBuddy, the app opens an encrypted connection to our squad service on this VPS. It processes your chosen display name, room and member identifiers, and connection data including your IP address. Depending on your individual sharing settings, your position with map and floor, quest progress, needed items and shared routes are forwarded to other members of your room. Screenshots, game logs and complete profile files are not uploaded for this feature.

Room data is kept in memory rather than stored as permanent profiles. Rooms expire after twelve hours; members are removed after ten minutes without a connection. Leaving removes the membership, and restarting the service clears rooms. The service temporarily holds IP addresses in memory to limit requests. Technical container logs are capped at two files of 5 MB each. Use this feature only if you wish to share the selected data with your group; you can turn sharing off or leave the room.

Your rights

Subject to the GDPR, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and data portability. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests for reasons relating to your particular situation. Any consent given can be withdrawn for future processing. Contact the email address above to exercise your rights.

You can complain to a supervisory authority, particularly where you live or where a suspected infringement occurred. The Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision handles private-sector matters in Bavaria.

This website does not make automated decisions with legal effects. You do not need to provide additional personal details to read the website. The necessary connection data are required to deliver its pages.
