1. No personal data stored without online features enabled
By default, Snapshot Aquarium does not store or process any personal data on its servers. All game progress is kept locally on the player’s device or through Steam Cloud.
2. Optional online features
Players may enable optional online functionality, such as sharing aquariums or other interactive features. When online features are enabled, the game may store the minimal data required to provide these features.
Depending on which features the player chooses to use, this may include:
- SteamUserId
- Shared aquarium data
- Timestamps of the latest update
- Identifiers used to prevent duplicate interactions (e.g., preventing multiple ratings or likes for the same aquarium)
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Players can disable online features at any time in the game settings, which results in the immediate deletion of all related data stored for these online features.
3. Temporary technical processing
Some minimal technical information may be transmitted temporarily to operate online gameplay features (for example, incrementing visitor counters). This information is used only for the immediate technical purpose and is not stored or used for profiling.
4. Server log files
The online service is hosted by IONOS SE. IONOS automatically generates anonymized server log files (for example, truncated IP addresses) to ensure secure and stable operation. These logs cannot be linked to individual players and are not analyzed by the controller.
5. Data recipients
No data is shared with third parties. A data processing agreement exists with IONOS SE as the hosting provider.
6. Player rights
When online features are enabled, players have the following rights under the GDPR:
- Right of access
- Right to rectification
- Right to erasure
- Right to withdraw consent
- Right to restriction of processing
- Right to data portability
Requests can be sent to: support@octoponx.de
7. Updates to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when technical or legal requirements change. The latest version will always be available through Steam and within the game.
