Privacy Policy

General information

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to the privacy policy below this text.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for the data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section “Notice on the responsible party” in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected, on the one hand, when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data you send to us by email or the Bungie name you enter into the search field.

Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time at which the page was accessed). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your usage behaviour. Further data — in particular the Bungie profiles you query — is processed solely for the purpose of displaying the player statistics you have requested.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to receive free information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of data protection.

Analysis tools and third-party tools

When you visit this website, your browsing behaviour may be statistically analysed. We use Vercel Web Analytics for this purpose — a cookieless analytics service that does not store anything on your device and processes IP addresses only in hashed form. Detailed information can be found further down in this privacy policy.

We host the contents of our website with the following provider:

External hosting

This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the servers of the host. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, meta and communication data, contact data, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.

External hosting takes place in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, where the consent encompasses the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Our host will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and will follow our instructions regarding this data.

We use the following host:

Vercel Inc.
340 S Lemon Ave #4133
Walnut, CA 91789
USA

Data processing agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider mentioned above. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures the provider only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

As Vercel is based in the USA, personal data may be transferred to a third country. Vercel is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so that an adequate level of data protection is ensured for the data transfer (Art. 45 GDPR).

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Notice on the responsible party

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

Tom Dassel
c/o Online-Impressum #8184
Europaring 90
53757 Sankt Augustin
Germany

Email: tom.dassel@icloud.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose of the data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons have ceased to apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to the data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, where special categories of data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases in the individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our activities we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary to fulfil our performance obligations, if we are legally obliged to do so, if we have a legitimate interest in passing on the data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or if some other legal basis allows the transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our website visitors on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object, on grounds arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right at any time to object to processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data took place / is taking place unlawfully, you can request the restriction of the data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from being stored — may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL / TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• browser type and browser version
• operating system used
• referrer URL
• host name of the accessing computer
• time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of his website — for this purpose the server log files must be recorded.

Enquiry by email

If you contact us by email, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) insofar as this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular legal retention periods — remain unaffected.

Data retrieval from the Bungie.net API

D2PVP Hub is a statistics tracker that queries public profile and game data from the Bungie.net online platform. When you enter a Bungie name into the search field, our server sends a request to the Bungie.net API to retrieve the following data on the player concerned:

• profile master data (Bungie name, platform-specific IDs, characters, emblem)
• activity history (match lists, timestamps, results)
• aggregated game statistics as well as equipped weapons and subclasses
• post-game carnage reports (PGCR), which contain all players who took part in a match including their public Bungie names
• tracker-specific extras such as the Competitive Division rank and the Trials passage state

The retrieved data is displayed insofar as the respective player has marked their Bungie.net profile as “public”. For private profiles, Bungie refuses disclosure; in this case a corresponding notice is displayed instead of the statistic.

The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in providing a statistics portal pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The provider of the API is Bungie, Inc., 550 106th Ave NE, Suite 207, Bellevue, WA 98004, USA. There is a transfer of data to the USA. Information on Bungie’s own data processing can be found at https://www.bungie.net/en/Legal/PrivacyPolicy. You can adjust your Bungie.net privacy status at any time at https://www.bungie.net/en/User/Privacy.

Caching of personal data (Upstash Redis)

In order to relieve the Bungie.net API and to achieve shorter response times, we cache the data retrieved from Bungie. As a technical service provider we use the cache provider Upstash, Inc., 530 Lytton Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Upstash.

The Bungie data described in the section “Data retrieval from the Bungie.net API” is stored in the cache. The storage is keyed by the Bungie membership id and not by your person as a website visitor. No merging with IP addresses or other visitor identifiers takes place. Storage is based on our legitimate interest in the economic and performant provision of the offering (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

As Upstash is based in the USA, personal data may be transferred to a third country. The data transfer is secured by the conclusion of EU standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR.

Public search index (4-digit Bungie code)

The Bungie.net API does not allow lookup by the 4-digit code alone (the digit sequence after the “#” in a Bungie name). To make players with non-Latin display names findable by their code, we maintain a small index in our cache. This index stores, per resolved player:

• Bungie name and 4-digit code
• Bungie membership id and platform
• path to the current emblem (public Bungie CDN URL)

This consists exclusively of data that is already publicly retrievable via Bungie.net. A player is added to the index when they themselves or another visitor resolves their Bungie name through D2PVP Hub — including cases in which they appear as a teammate in a match. The entries are automatically removed 30 days after the last resolution.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving the search function (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If you would like your entry to be removed sooner, you can contact us at any time using the email address given in the imprint.

Local storage in the browser (localStorage)

This website uses your browser’s local storage (localStorage) to provide convenience features. Only the following data is stored on your end device:

• Pinned Guardians — the Bungie names you pin for quick access.
• Recently viewed — a short list of the player pages you most recently opened, used to populate suggestions for the pin list.
• Compare preferences — whether the Compare Players page should automatically import last-match teammates.

This data does not leave your end device and is not transmitted to our server. You can remove it at any time using the functions of your browser (e.g. “clear browsing data”). Storage is carried out to fulfil a function expressly requested by you and therefore on the basis of § 25(2)(2) TDDDG.

Public display of player data

The retrieved Bungie statistics are displayed at a publicly accessible URL. Anyone who knows the URL can view the data associated with the respective player page. On the Compare Players page (/compare), the chosen players are encoded in the URL itself; a Compare URL you share will show the same players to the recipient. If you do not want your statistics to be findable through D2PVP Hub, you can set your Bungie.net profile to “private” in your Bungie privacy settings.

Vercel Web Analytics

This website uses Vercel Web Analytics, an analytics service provided by Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA. Vercel Web Analytics counts aggregate page views and referrers without cookies, without local storage on the end device and without building a cross-site user profile. IP addresses are processed only in hashed form.

Processing is based on our legitimate interest in a statistical analysis of usage behaviour to optimise our offering (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). As no end-device identifiers are set and no personal data is transmitted to our system, § 25(1) TDDDG is not applicable.

As Vercel is based in the USA, data may be transferred to a third country. Vercel is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. A data processing agreement is in place with Vercel. Further information on the data processing of Vercel Web Analytics can be found at https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/privacy-policy.

This privacy policy is also available in German. The German version is authoritative.
