We take the protection of your personal data seriously. Use the tabs below to view the privacy information that applies to our website or to the Gloom Hunters game.

Our website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, a service provided by Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you access the website, Cloudflare automatically processes technical information that your browser transmits and stores it in so-called server log files, in particular:
This data is processed to deliver the website reliably, to ensure its stability and security, and to defend against attacks (e.g. DDoS protection). The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in a secure and functioning website). Cloudflare processes this data on our behalf as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR.
As Cloudflare is a US provider, data may be transferred to the United States. Such transfers are safeguarded by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. For details, please see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
This website does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies, and it does not profile its visitors. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies (e.g. to tell humans and bots apart and to protect the site). These are technically required to provide the service you requested; the legal basis is § 25(2) TDDDG together with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We do not carry out any automated decision-making or profiling (Art. 22 GDPR).
If you contact us by email (for example via the address above or our contact page), we process your email address and the content of your message solely in order to handle and respond to your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where it relates to a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering enquiries). We delete this data once it is no longer required and no statutory retention periods prevent deletion.
Our website contains simple links to external platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Discord, Instagram, X, Reddit, and Overpalmed. These are plain hyperlinks — no data is transmitted to these providers until you actively click a link and leave our site. Once there, the respective provider's own privacy policy applies.
Server log data is stored only for as long as necessary for security and operational purposes and is then deleted or anonymized. Email correspondence is retained only for as long as needed to process your request.
Under the GDPR you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing (Art. 21). Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)). To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us using the details above.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your residence or workplace. The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg (LfDI BW).
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website or to legal requirements. The current version is always available on this page.
This part of our Privacy Policy applies to the Gloom Hunters game (mobile and PC). It explains what personal data we process when you create an account and play.

To play online and save your progress, Gloom Hunters uses Unity Authentication (part of Unity Gaming Services). You can choose how to sign in:
Purpose: to create, secure, and manage your player account and let you access your progress across devices. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the contract to provide the game).
We store your in-game data — such as game progress, statistics, your base and defense configurations, and settings — linked to your player ID using Unity Cloud Save. This lets you keep your progress and continue across sessions and devices. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Gloom Hunters is a game in which you raid bases built by other players, and your own base can be raided — even while you are offline. To make this possible, your player ID, display name, and your base/defense setup are shared with other players as part of normal gameplay and matchmaking. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
We use Unity Analytics to understand how the game is used and to improve its balance, performance, and stability. This may process event and usage data, session information, device data (such as device model, operating system, language, and an approximate region derived from your IP address) and a unique identifier / player ID. We do not use this data for advertising and we do not build marketing profiles about you. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in analyzing and improving our game). You may object to this processing at any time (see "Your Rights"). We do not carry out automated decision-making that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, and we do not use your data for profiling (Art. 22 GDPR).
We do not sell your personal data. Data is shared only with service providers that help us operate the game:
The game contains no advertising and no in-app purchases.
Our service providers (in particular Unity and the sign-in providers) may process data on servers outside the EU/EEA, including in the United States. Such transfers are safeguarded by appropriate measures such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
We keep your account and game data for as long as your account exists. You can permanently delete your account and its associated data at any time directly in the game — see our Account Deletion page for step-by-step instructions. Temporary guest accounts may be deleted automatically after a long period of inactivity. Analytics data is retained only in line with Unity's retention periods, in aggregated or limited form.
Gloom Hunters is intended for players aged 12 and over and carries a 12+ age rating. We are aware that some of our players are minors, and we give the personal data of children and young people particular protection.
Children under 12: The game is not intended for children under the age of 12, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child under 12 has provided us with personal data, please contact us using the details above and we will delete it.
Players under the age of digital consent (under 16 in Germany; between 13 and 16 in other EU/EEA member states): if you are below this age, you may only create an account, use the online features, and provide personal data with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. Because creating an account and using our online services forms a contract, your parent or guardian must agree to it on your behalf; and where any processing relies on consent, that consent must likewise be given or authorised by them. By signing in or playing online, you confirm that you have this permission.
Keeping younger players safe: please do not use your real name, email address, or other personal details as your public username — your display name is visible to other players during raids and matchmaking. We keep the data we process to a minimum, we never use children's data for advertising, marketing profiles, or automated decision-making, and the game contains no ads and no in-app purchases.
Parents and guardians can exercise all of the rights described below on behalf of their child — including access, rectification, and erasure — and can delete the account and its data at any time directly in the game (see our Account Deletion page) or by contacting us using the details above.
We and our processors use appropriate technical and organizational measures (such as encrypted transmission and hashed passwords) to protect your data against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.
Under the GDPR you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object (Art. 21) to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time (Art. 7(3)). To exercise these rights, contact us using the details above. You can also delete your account directly in the game at any time.
You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in your country of residence. The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg (LfDI BW).
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the game or to legal requirements. The current version is always available on this page.
