2. ABOUT SCHATTENWURF STUDIO AND AI TRANSPARENCY
ABOUT SCHATTENWURF STUDIO
Schattenwurf Studio UG (haftungsbeschränkt) is an independent design, creative and development studio. Our activities include in particular:
- development and publication of digital games and mini-games,
- game design and programming,
- AI-assisted art and illustration,
- graphic, media, web and communication design,
- music, sound and audio design,
- digital creative projects, and
- creative agency and design services.
A particular focus of the studio is on simple, accessible and child-friendly games.
AI-ASSISTED PRODUCTION
Our games and digital content may be developed, created or edited in whole or in part using generative artificial intelligence. AI tools may in particular be used for:
- programming, debugging and technical optimisation,
- images, illustrations, textures, graphics and animations,
- music, sound effects and other audio content,
- texts, names, descriptions and idea generation,
- concepts, drafts and design variations.
Artificial intelligence is used as a technical and creative tool. Creative direction, selection, editing, combination, technical integration, quality control and publication are carried out by Schattenwurf Studio UG (haftungsbeschränkt).
For software, AI services, models, fonts, libraries, images, music, sounds and other components used by us, we use appropriate usage rights, commercial licences or other required permissions where necessary. Rights and licence terms of the respective third-party providers remain unaffected.
Where there is a statutory duty to label artificially generated or manipulated content, we label the relevant content appropriately. This applies in particular to realistic AI-generated or AI-manipulated image, audio or video content that could be mistaken for an authentic depiction of a person, object, place, institution or event. In the case of clearly artistic, creative, satirical or fictional content, disclosure may in particular be made in the credits, game description, start screen or a general AI notice without unnecessarily impairing the presentation or enjoyment of the work.
Generative AI systems may generate similar results for different users. We therefore do not guarantee the absolute uniqueness, worldwide exclusivity, trademark registrability or copyright protection of every individual AI-generated result. Statutory rights in our own human creative contributions, programming, edits, selection decisions, designs and compilations remain unaffected where the legal requirements for protection are met.

21465 Reinbek
Germany
Email: schattenwurf.studio@gmail.com
2. SCOPE
This Privacy Policy applies to our website at schattenwurf.com and to the game apps published by Schattenwurf Studio UG (haftungsbeschränkt), including in particular:
Duck Defuse
Vorde Horde
The Healthy Time
The privacy policies of the respective providers additionally apply to app stores, advertising networks, linked websites and other third-party services.
3. GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND LEGAL BASES
We process personal data only where a legal basis exists. Depending on the processing activity, the relevant legal bases may include in particular:
- Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent has been given,
- Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary for performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps,
- Article 6(1)(c) GDPR where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,

The requirements of Section 25 TDDDG additionally apply to storing information on a user's terminal equipment or accessing information already stored there. Storage or access that is not strictly necessary takes place only after valid consent has been obtained. Technically necessary storage or access may take place without consent to the extent permitted by law.
4. DATA PROCESSING ON THE WEBSITE
4.1 Hosting and Server Log Data
Our website is hosted by:
Hetzner Online GmbH
Germany
When the website is accessed, the following data may in particular be processed:
- IP address of the accessing device,
- date and time of access,
- page or file requested,
- amount of data transferred,
- browser type and browser version,
- operating system,
- referrer URL,
- access status and error messages.
The data is processed in order to technically provide the website, ensure stability and security, investigate errors and detect attacks or misuse. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and functional operation of our website.
The specific retention period for server log data depends on the hosting configuration used by Hetzner Online GmbH and the applicable deletion periods. We do not retain server log data longer than necessary for operation, security, error analysis, investigation of specific security incidents, or statutory documentation and retention requirements.
Where the hosting provider processes personal data on our behalf, an appropriate data-processing agreement is in place.
4.2 Contacting Us
If you contact us by email or through our contact form, we process the contact details you provide and the contents of your message.
Where the enquiry relates to entering into or performing a contract, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Other enquiries are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the proper handling and response to enquiries.
The data is deleted once the enquiry has been fully dealt with and no statutory retention obligations, documentation requirements or legitimate grounds for further storage remain.
4.3 Cookies and Comparable Technologies
Our website may use technically necessary cookies or comparable storage technologies that are required to provide a function expressly requested by the user. In this case, access to the terminal equipment is based on Section 25(2) TDDDG. Where personal data is processed, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and functional provision of the website.
Technically non-essential cookies, analytics, marketing or embedded third-party services are activated only after any legally required consent has been obtained. The legal bases are Section 25(1) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future through the privacy or cookie settings.
Additional services used on the website:
According to our current implementation, we do not use analytics, advertising, map, video, social-media or other tracking services on the website. A contact form is provided. Data entered into that form is processed solely for handling the relevant enquiry. The contact form is part of our self-developed website and is processed through our web infrastructure hosted by Hetzner. No additional external form or tracking provider is currently used for this purpose.
5. DATA PROCESSING IN OUR GAME APPS
5.1 Local Game and Settings Data
Where a game stores save data, high scores, volume settings, language settings or other preferences, this data is generally stored locally on the user's device. Such local data is not automatically transmitted to us unless an online or cloud function is expressly described within the relevant app.
Local data may be lost if the app is uninstalled, app data is deleted, the device is changed, damaged or reset.
5.2 User Accounts, Player Names and Online Functions
Some of our games may offer user accounts, player names, multiplayer functions or other online features. For our own online functions, we operate a self-managed backend on server infrastructure provided by Hetzner Online GmbH. Depending on the game and function, we may process in particular a freely selected player name, an internal user or account ID, authentication data in the technically required form, save data, progress data, multiplayer data, timestamps and technically necessary connection and security data.
Some games allow users to enter a player name. Users should not use real names, email addresses, postal addresses, telephone numbers or other sensitive personal information as player names. Children should use a neutral nickname or fictional player name.
Our own account, game and multiplayer data is processed to provide the relevant online function, synchronise game progress, assign save data, provide multiplayer functions, and ensure security and prevent abuse. Where the function is requested by the user, the legal basis is in particular Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Security and abuse-prevention measures may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Our own backend data is processed on Hetzner infrastructure used by us. It is retained only for as long as the relevant account or online function is used, or as required for providing the service, security purposes, statutory obligations or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Deletion may be requested through an account-deletion function offered within the relevant app or by contacting schattenwurf.studio@gmail.com, unless statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
Where an account is not required for a specific game, that game may be used without a separate Schattenwurf Studio user account.
5.3 Google Play Games and Apple Game Center
Depending on the platform and game, Google Play Games and/or Apple Game Center may also be used. These platform services are provided by Google and Apple respectively and may be used for sign-in, player identification, display names, achievements, leaderboards, multiplayer functions or synchronisation of save data.
Where necessary for the game function, our app may receive and process from these services platform-specific player identifiers, display names, achievement or leaderboard information and information relating to saved games or multiplayer functionality. We use such information only for the function offered and do not link it to additional profiles without a lawful basis.
Google's or Apple's respective privacy policies and account settings also apply to their independent processing through Google Play Games or Apple Game Center. Users can manage the relevant platform functions through their Google or Apple account.
5.4 Device Permissions
Our games generally use only permissions required for their functionality or for delivering advertising. These may include internet access and network-status access.
Additional permissions currently used:
At present, individual games require internet access and network connections, including for online functions and delivery of AdMob advertising. According to the current implementation, the published games do not access the camera, microphone or precise location.
If a location-based feature is introduced in the future, for example for a multiplayer game, the relevant app will be technically configured accordingly before release and this Privacy Policy will first be expanded to explain the purpose, legal basis, retention period, recipients and type of location data used.
5.5 App Stores
When an app is downloaded or updated via Google Play or the Apple App Store, the respective platform operator processes data under its own responsibility. This may include account details, IP address, device information, download time, payment information, usage statistics and technical diagnostic data.
We may receive aggregated or pseudonymised information from the app store concerning installations, uninstalls, ratings, device classes, countries, crashes or technical errors. The respective app store's privacy policy applies to its independent processing.
5.6 Cloud Storage and Synchronisation
Some games may additionally store save data, progress or other game data online or synchronise it between devices. For this purpose, we may use our self-managed backend on Hetzner infrastructure and, depending on the platform and game, Google Play Games or Apple Game Center.
Only data required for the relevant function is processed, in particular internal or platform-specific player identifiers, save data, progress data, timestamps and technically necessary synchronisation data. The purpose is to store, restore and synchronise game progress across devices and, where applicable, provide multiplayer and platform functions.
The legal basis is in particular Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where storage or synchronisation forms part of a function requested by the user. Data in our own backend is deleted when no longer required for its purpose, when the relevant account is deleted or when a justified deletion request is made, unless statutory retention obligations or security reasons prevent deletion. Google Play Games and Apple Game Center are additionally subject to their respective platform rules concerning retention and deletion options.
5.7 In-App Purchases
Some of our games offer in-app purchases or paid digital content. Payment processing is generally carried out by the relevant app store, in particular Google Play or, where offered, the Apple App Store. As a rule, we do not receive complete payment data such as credit-card or bank-account details. Depending on the platform, however, we may receive transaction identifiers, purchase status, product information, timestamps, technical confirmations and information required for support, fraud prevention or restoration of purchases.
Processing takes place to complete the relevant purchase, provide the purchased digital content, handle support cases, prevent fraud and comply with statutory accounting and documentation obligations. Legal bases may include Article 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR. The relevant app-store provider's privacy policy applies to its independent processing of payment and account information.
6. ADVERTISING THROUGH GOOGLE ADMOB
6.1 Provider
Our games use the mobile advertising service Google AdMob. For users in the European Economic Area and Switzerland, the provider is generally:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland
Google and Schattenwurf Studio UG (haftungsbeschränkt) may each act as independent controllers for certain AdMob processing operations. For certain functions, Google may also act as a processor.
6.2 Possible Categories of Data
Depending on the operating system, app configuration, age treatment, ad mode and consent decision, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may process in particular:
- IP address, from which an approximate region may be derived,
- device, app and advertising identifiers,
- Android Advertising ID, App Set ID or, where available, Apple IDFA,
- information about the operating system, device, language and app version,
- app launches, ad impressions, clicks, video views and other interactions,
- diagnostic, performance, crash and error data,
- information used to detect invalid access, fraud and misuse.
The data actually processed depends, among other things, on whether personalised, non-personalised or restricted ads are served and on the age and privacy settings that are active.
6.3 Purposes
Data may in particular be processed for the following purposes:
- delivery and display of advertising,
- selection of contextual advertising or, only after valid consent, personalised advertising,
- measurement of ad impressions and interactions,
- frequency capping,
- billing and reporting,
- technical delivery and troubleshooting,
- protection against fraud, manipulation, misuse and invalid traffic.
6.4 Consent Management
For management of required privacy and advertising consents, we use Google User Messaging Platform (Google UMP) or Google's certified consent solution for AdMob. Where required, the consent request is displayed before advertising or storage/access operations that require consent are initiated.
The app takes the relevant consent status into account when requesting ads. Users can reopen, change or withdraw their privacy choice within the app through the section labelled “Privacy Options”. Withdrawal applies for the future.
Personalised advertising and non-essential access to terminal equipment take place only where an adequate legal basis exists. Where consent is required, Section 25(1) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR apply. Where the relevant consent has not been granted, only advertising or processing operations that are permitted without that consent under the actual configuration and applicable law are carried out.
6.5 Children and Young People
Depending on the title, our games are intended in particular for age groups 6+ or 12+ and may address a mixed audience of children, young people and older users. The specific target audience and age rating of each app is stated in the relevant app store.
For apps whose target audience includes both children and older users, the applicable Google Play Families policies and other legal requirements must be observed. In particular, the technical implementation must ensure that children are not treated like adult users for personalised advertising or other data processing that is inappropriate for children.
At present, implementation of a neutral age screen has not yet been confirmed for all affected apps. Before publication or continued monetisation of mixed-audience apps, it must be reviewed and technically ensured which age screen, age treatment and advertising configuration is required for the specific app.
Children are not asked to provide real names, postal addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses or other personal information not required for gameplay for advertising purposes. Neutral nicknames should be used as player names.
6.6 Legal Bases
Where consent is required, processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.
Where processing or access without consent is permitted by law and required for technical delivery, security, fraud prevention or troubleshooting, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and, where the statutory requirements are met, Section 25(2) TDDDG. Our legitimate interests include secure operation, financing free games, preventing abuse and correctly accounting for advertising services. Any balancing of interests takes particular account of the rights of children and young people.
6.7 Recipients and Advertising Partners
Recipients may include Google Ireland Limited, companies affiliated with Google and the advertising and measurement-technology partners shown in the consent dialogue. The partners actually used depend on the app configuration, consent choice, age treatment and available advertising inventory.
If advertising networks, mediation services or analytics providers other than Google are used, they must be separately identified in this Privacy Policy and in the consent dialogue.
6.8 International Data Transfers
Processing may also take place outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. Google states that, where applicable, it uses adequacy decisions such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or other safeguards provided by law for international data transfers. The safeguard applicable in an individual case depends on the respective recipient and processing operation.
Further information about Google's processing:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en
6.9 Retention Period
Retention by Google and the respective advertising partners depends on the processing purpose, consent choice, age treatment, account settings and the respective provider's privacy rules.
AdMob reports and billing records accessible to us are retained only for as long as required for billing, accounting, tax obligations, abuse control or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
7. USE OF AI DURING DEVELOPMENT
We use artificial intelligence as a tool in development, programming, image design, music and sound production, text creation, idea generation and technical optimisation.
According to the current implementation, no user input or other personal player data is transmitted to generative AI services or external AI APIs during live gameplay. AI is used by us in the development and production process and not as an ongoing data-processing service for players.
If a direct AI function is offered within an app in the future, this Privacy Policy will be expanded before activation to cover the provider, purpose, data categories, legal basis, retention period, recipients, possible international transfers and any required user choices.
8. OTHER RECIPIENTS
Personal data may, where necessary, be disclosed to the following categories of recipients:
- hosting and IT service providers,
- app-store operators and payment processors for in-app purchases,
- providers of user-account, cloud, multiplayer and backend functions where used in the relevant app,
- advertising, consent-management and security service providers,
- tax advisers, legal advisers and accounting providers,
- authorities and courts where disclosure is legally required.
Service providers receive only the data required for their respective task. Where they act on our behalf, the legally required agreements are concluded.
9. RETENTION PERIODS
We retain personal data only for as long as required for the relevant purpose. It is then deleted or anonymised unless statutory retention requirements, documentation obligations, pending proceedings or legitimate grounds require further retention.
Typical retention periods include:
- server logs: according to the hosting configuration used and the relevant security and documentation purposes,
- contact enquiries: until final handling plus any required documentation period,
- tax and billing records: according to statutory retention periods,
- local save data: until app data is deleted or the app is uninstalled by the user,
- cloud save data, user accounts and multiplayer data: for the duration of the relevant account or required online function and thereafter only where necessary for security, statutory obligations or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; Google Play Games and Apple Game Center are additionally subject to their respective platform rules,
- consent information: for as long as required to document consent and manage the privacy choice.
10. DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

To exercise your rights, contact schattenwurf.studio@gmail.com. We may request additional information to verify identity where necessary to prevent disclosure of personal data to unauthorised persons.
11. RIGHT TO OBJECT
Where we process personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to that processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the relevant data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
12. RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible in particular for our registered office is:

Telephone: +49 431 988-1200
Website: www.datenschutzzentrum.de
13. DATA SECURITY
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, manipulation, unauthorised access and other misuse. Depending on the system, these measures include encrypted data transmission, access restrictions, data minimisation, up-to-date software versions and limitation of permissions.
Despite appropriate security measures, completely risk-free data transmission or storage cannot be guaranteed.
14. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING
We do not ourselves make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects concerning users or similarly significantly affect them.
Where valid consent has been given, advertising providers may use information to select personalised advertising. Personalised advertising is not used for children or young people who are treated as such under the applicable configuration.
15. PROVISION OF DATA
Server and connection data is technically required to provide the website or an online function. Without this data, the relevant service cannot be accessed.
Information provided when contacting us is generally voluntary. Without the information required to deal with the enquiry, we may be unable to answer it or prepare or perform a requested contract.
Consent to personalised advertising and non-essential access to terminal equipment is voluntary. If consent is not given or is withdrawn, consent-dependent personalised advertising will not be delivered. Depending on the legally and technically permitted mode, restricted, non-personalised or no ads may be shown.
16. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy where our website, apps, services used, technical processes or legal requirements change. The version published on our website or within the app at the relevant time applies. Where changes are material, we will provide appropriate notice and obtain renewed consent where required.

Essential contractual obligations are obligations whose fulfilment is necessary for proper performance of the user relationship and on compliance with which a user may normally rely.
11.3 Other Slight Negligence
In all other respects, liability for damage caused by slight negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
11.4 Legal Representatives and Assistants
The above limitations of liability apply correspondingly for the benefit of the legal representatives, employees, agents and persons employed in performing obligations on behalf of Schattenwurf Studio UG (haftungsbeschränkt).

Individual quotations and project contracts take precedence. Separate contractual terms apply to substantial agency or client projects; the website information above does not replace a project-specific agreement.
