0Chain is the operator of any Website published as Zus, Atlus, Bolt, Blimp, Chalk, Chimney, and Vult (the “Websites”).
As the operator of the Websites, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We collect, process, and use your personal data in accordance with this privacy policy and in compliance with the General European Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) will provide you with information about the collection, processing and use of your personal data when using the Websites.
In case you provide us with the personal data of third persons (such as family members or work colleagues) you should make sure that these persons are familiar with this Privacy Policy and you should only share their personal data if you have permission to do so and ensure that his personal data is correct.
For any matters, relating to data protection you may contact legal@0chain.net in writing by email.
When you visit our Websites, the hosting provider(s) of our Websites may automatically collect and store various information in server log files that your browser transmits to us. The information/data mentioned is neither assigned to specific persons nor linked to data from other sources. The following technical data may be recorded by us, as usual with every connection with a web server, without your intervention, and stored by us until deletion after no later than seven days:
Any collection and processing of this technical data is for the purpose of enabling the use of our Websites, continuously ensuring system security and stability, optimizing our Websites, and for internal statistical purposes. This is our legitimate interest in the processing of data in the sense of Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Furthermore, the IP addresses may be evaluated, together with other data, in case of attacks on the network infrastructure or other unauthorised use or misuse of the Websites, for the purpose of intelligence and protection, and if appropriate, used in criminal proceedings for identification and civil and criminal proceedings against the relevant users. This is our legitimate interest in the processing of data in the sense of Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The Websites may use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. More detailed information on cookies and how they work can be found at: https://allaboutcookies.org.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, 0Chainmay provide the users of the Websites with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
Cookies may allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our Website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our Websites. The Website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the Website is accessed, because this is taken over by the Website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system.
You may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our Websites by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, previously set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it may not be possible to use all the functions of our Websites.
We specifically utilize localStorage for the storage of pieces of data and, as such, this information is only stored in a User's browser, not on our servers, and may be deleted by a user at any time by clearing his or her browser's cache. Unlike traditional cookies, these pieces of data are not sent to the server with each request.
The Websites may use Google Analytics, an open source web analytics platform ("Google Analytics"). Where this is true, the information generated by the cookies about your use of the Websites may be stored on the servers of our hosting provider(s) in the United States. For more information about Google Analytics, you can access a demo version at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/
In addition to the data listed in section 3.1, we may receive the following information because of Google Analytics:
We may use this technical data to analyze your use of the Websites by compiling reports on Website activity for the understanding and/or optimizing of our Websites and/or for internal statistical purposes. We do not use the information and personal data collected by Google to identify individuals unless we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.
Any processing of this technical personal data helps us to identify what is working and what is not on our Websites and how we may improve our Websites. Without any data thus received, we may not be able to provide you the service we are currently offering to you. Your data will be used only to improve the user experience on our Websites and help you find the information you are looking for. This is our legitimate interest in the processing of data in the sense of Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f GDPR.
You can opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics and prevent the website from analyzing the actions you take using the website. This will prevent us from learning from your actions and creating a better website experience for you and other users.
