Privacy.
The legally binding privacy policy is in German. In short: we only store what the site needs to work. No ads, no tracking, no analytics.
In short (summary, not legally binding)
- Cookies: none without signing in. When you start signing in with Steam, two cookies are set: AFFENBISS_SESSION (your session) and AFFENBISS_REMEMBER (keeps you signed in for up to 30 days).
- Browser storage: three entries stay on your device and are never sent to us. affenbiss-sprache (the language you last picked), affenbiss-englisch-hinweis (you closed the hint about the English version) and affenbiss-guckaffe-ruhe (you shooed the monkey away, only until you close the tab).
- Leaderboards: game stats of all players on the server are public under their username. That includes in-game money: wealth (bank account plus cash) and money spent in stores, with the amount, even if your profile page is not public. Tell us if you want to be hidden. The team sees all claims in the admin area; where a claim or vehicle is located is visible to admins only, not to moderators.
- Character backups: the game server saves your character every few minutes while you play (the last three are kept) and the last state before a death (up to 14 days, at most 5 per account), so the team can restore a character. The backups stay on the game server; admins see an overview in the admin area, and every restore is logged.
- Tickets and reports from the game: for a ticket we store your in-game username, SteamID, subject and messages, plus your character's name and level and where in the game you wrote it. The team handles it in a private thread on our Discord server. Reports (vehicle, claim, map area) are stored by the game server; the team gets a notice with your username and text. Tickets are kept with their messages, also after closing, so later cases and rule breaks can be traced.
- Penalties: if someone breaks the rules, we store in-game name, SteamID and/or Discord ID, the rule, severity, kind and duration, the reason, who entered it and when. Timeouts and bans are posted in the Discord channel #strafen without the reason. You see your own penalties, with the reason, in your account. For the steps of the catalogue you start again at step 1 once 14 days have passed after your last penalty ended without a new penalty of the same severity. The entry itself is kept, so repeat offences and dodged bans stay traceable; deactivating your account does not change that.
- Game server logs: the game server logs connections with IP address and SteamID, chat messages, commands, team actions and events of our server mod. They serve safe operation, troubleshooting and clearing up rule breaks; only admins can read them. A daily cleanup on the game server deletes the game logs, including the connection logs with IP addresses and the chat, after 7 days. They are not part of the game server backups and are not passed on to third parties, with one exception: the site tells the team in a private Discord channel when someone joins or leaves the game server (username, team role, time, session length and reason; no IP address or SteamID).
- Transfers to the USA: Steam and Discord are based in the USA. Data goes there when you use these services yourself (Steam sign-in, Discord server) and with the messages we show on Discord: the in-game feed, penalties in #strafen and the join messages in the team channel.
- Admin log: what the team does in the admin area is logged (who, which action, which account, a short note, when). Only admins can read it. Entries are kept, also for deactivated accounts.
- Accounts: we don't delete accounts. You can deactivate yours in your account: you can no longer sign in and you disappear from your profile and the leaderboards, but the stored data (SteamID, stats, penalties, tickets, admin log) stays, so bans can't be dodged with a new account. Signing in again with the same SteamID lands in the same deactivated account. Only the team can reactivate it; open a ticket.
