1. Data collection on our game server

 

The hardware of our gameserver is completely located in Germany. In front of our game server is a load balancer, which is also operated by our provider. The load balancer is used to distribute the load on the servers and to optimize the performance, but also to increase the security. It has the ability to detect and defend against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks by monitoring network traffic and filtering potentially harmful traffic. This can result in blocking certain IP addresses that have been identified as the source of malicious traffic and preventing logging in to the game server.

 

Data and information is collected each time our server is accessed. This data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The data may include the following information: IP address, date and time of access, name and URL of the accessed file, website from which the access is made (referrer URL), browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider. Please note that this data can be collected by both the game server and the load balancer.
