Privacy

Information on the processing of personal data under Art. 13 GDPR.

1 · Controller

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:
Mark Tietz, Königplatz 3, 87448 Waltenhofen, Germany
Email: ridersgermany@gmail.com

A data protection officer is not required by law.

2 · Hosting

This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany (server location: Germany), as a processor on our behalf under a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in secure and efficient operation (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

3 · Server log files

When you access the website, the server automatically records: IP address, date and time, the requested URL/file, amount of data transferred, status code and the browser/operating system used (user agent). This serves technical provision, stability and IT security. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Log files are automatically deleted after 14 days.

4 · Cookies

We use only a strictly necessary session cookie that keeps you logged in after sign-in. It is required for the service to function (§ 25 (2) TDDDG) and therefore does not require consent. We do not use any tracking, profiling, analytics or advertising cookies. The cookie lasts up to 30 days and can be deleted in your browser at any time.

Data minimisation: we embed no external fonts, CDNs or analytics tools; map previews are served via our own server, so your IP address is not transmitted to third parties.

5 · Sign-in via Steam (OpenID)

To take part in the map vote you may sign in via Steam. You are redirected to Steam (Valve Corporation, USA) and authenticate there. We receive only your SteamID64 (a 17-digit identifier) — no further profile data, name, avatar or email. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) and (a) GDPR. Initiating the Steam login transfers data to Valve in the USA; Valve's own privacy policy applies to their processing.

6 · Map voting & nickname

When you vote, we store your SteamID64, the chosen map and the time of voting to ensure one vote per player and wipe and to determine the result. Optionally you may set a freely chosen nickname (max. 24 characters) for display. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR.

7 · External services & links

  • Discord & donations (Buy Me a Coffee): our site links to Discord and an external donation service. Data is only transferred to these providers once you actively click the respective link; their privacy policies then apply.
  • RustMaps: map previews are generated/cached solely on our server; no visitor data is transmitted to RustMaps.
  • Let's Encrypt / IONOS / DuckDNS: used for TLS encryption (Let's Encrypt) and domain registration/resolution (IONOS for nerux.fun, DuckDNS for the former address nerux.duckdns.org); no personal user data is processed.

8 · Retention

Server log files: 14 days. Aggregated player counts (non-personal): 30 days. Voting/account data (SteamID, nickname, votes): until deletion at your request or as long as required for operation. You can request deletion of your stored data at any time by email.

9 · Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the rights to:

  • access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17),
  • restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20),
  • object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) (Art. 21),
  • withdraw consent with future effect (Art. 7 (3)).

To exercise them, an email to ridersgermany@gmail.com is sufficient.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, e.g.: Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.
