Data Protection
The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.

4. Data Collection on this Website
Cookies & Local Storage
Our website uses “cookies” and local storage technologies. These are small text files stored on your device. We use them for technical necessities:
- To keep you logged in.
- To store your shopping cart contents.
- To confirm your age verification status (so you don’t see the popup every time).
Technical cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the simplified use of the website).
Server Log Files
The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. This includes Browser type/version, Operating system used, Referrer URL, Hostname of the accessing computer, Time of the server inquiry, and IP address (for security and geo-blocking).
Account & Virtual Currency Data
If you register for an account to purchase our virtual currency (“Spicycoins”), we store the data you provide (Username, Email, Password hash) as well as your current transaction history and coin balance. This processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (Performance of a Contract) to ensure you can access the content you paid for.
5. Payment Service Providers
We integrate third-party payment services on our website to process credit card transactions. When you make a purchase (e.g., buying a Coin Pack), we transfer your payment data (e.g., transaction amount, currency, order ID) to the payment service provider.
