Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how your data is handled when you use the Ghost Cage website (ghostcage.schmutweiss.com) and the Ghost Cage iOS app. We keep data collection to an absolute minimum — the same principle that guides the app itself: no ads, no tracking, no nonsense.
1. Controller
The controller responsible for data processing is:
SCHMUT/WEISS GmbH Sieveringer Straße 9/13 1190 Vienna, Austria
Email: office@schmutweiss.com
2. This website
The Ghost Cage website is a static marketing site. We do not use cookies, analytics, tracking pixels, advertising networks, contact forms, or user accounts on this website.
Server logs
When you visit the website, our hosting provider automatically processes technical access data that every web server receives, including your IP address, the requested page, the date and time of the request, the referring page, and your browser and operating system. This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in operating a secure and stable website. It is not combined with other data and is not used to identify you.
Our website is hosted by Vercel Inc. (440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA), which acts as our processor. Vercel's privacy policy: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
3. The Ghost Cage app
Ghost Cage is designed to run fully offline. The app does not require an account, does not collect personal data, and does not include advertising or third-party analytics SDKs. Your game progress and best score are stored locally on your device.
App Store and in-app purchases
The app is distributed through Apple's App Store. When you download the app or purchase an optional cosmetic skin, Apple processes the transaction and related data (such as your Apple ID and payment information) as an independent controller under its own privacy policy. We never receive or store your payment details. We may receive anonymous, aggregated sales and performance statistics from Apple that do not allow us to identify individual users.
Apple's privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.
4. Legal basis
- Server logs: legitimate interest in a secure, functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- In-app purchases: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), processed by Apple.
5. Data retention
Server log data is retained only for as long as necessary for security and operational purposes and is then deleted or anonymized. We do not store any personal data from the app.
6. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object to processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at office@schmutweiss.com.
7. Right to lodge a complaint
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent authority in Austria is:
Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde) Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, Austria https://www.dsb.gv.at
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes to the app, the website, or legal requirements. The current version is always available on this page.
