PIXEL RIVALS

Privacy Policy

Short version: pixelrivals.com sets no cookies, uses no third-party trackers and counts visits with cookieless, self-hosted analytics (Grynlume, section 3). The only personal data processed is what any web server needs to deliver a page, the anonymised page views described in section 3, and whatever you send us by email.

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany, on servers in Germany. When you open a page, the server automatically processes technical data your browser sends: IP address, date and time of the request, the page requested, the referring page, and browser and operating system information. This is necessary to deliver the website and to keep it secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in a working and secure website). The hosting provider keeps these log files only for a short period and processes them on our behalf under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR).

3. Web analytics (Grynlume)

Grynlume is a self-hosted analytics tool operated by Thorsten Meyer on his own server in Germany. It counts visits, pages, sources and devices without cookies and without storing anything in your browser.

When you open a page, your browser sends the page address, the referring page, your browser type, your screen width and your IP address to that server (grynlume.grimfaste.com). The IP address and browser type are combined with a random secret that changes every day and are stored only as a hash; the raw IP address is never written to disk. Each daily secret is deleted after the following day, so you cannot be recognised from one day to the next or across other websites. How far you scroll and how long a page is actively open are stored as figures on that page view, not as a browsing history. A click on an outbound link or a file download is recorded the same way.

To keep automated traffic out of the statistics, user-agent strings and the host names of referring websites are sent to TypeSafe (typesafe.ai), whose service classifies them. No IP address and no identifier is sent with them.

Requests to the analytics server pass through Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, which routes traffic to the server and provides DDoS protection. Cloudflare processes connection data (including your IP address) in transit on our behalf under a data-processing agreement; transfers to the USA are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.

Statistics are kept for 14 months (at the latest until the end of the following calendar month); aggregated counts without any visitor identifier are kept indefinitely. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in understanding which content is read. You may object at any time by writing to contact@pixelrivals.com.

4. No cookies, no third-party trackers, no third-party content

We do not use cookies, advertising or third-party tracking tools; visits are counted only with the cookieless, self-hosted analytics described in section 3. Fonts, scene scripts, images and videos are served from pixelrivals.com itself; apart from the analytics in section 3, no data is sent to font, video or analytics services. The scenes are rendered entirely in your browser and do not send anything back to us.

5. Links to other websites

Scene pages link to news sources and to X (formerly Twitter). The "Share on X" link is a plain link: nothing is transmitted to X unless you click it. Once you follow a link, the privacy policy of the other website applies.

6. Contact by email

If you email us, we process your address and message to answer you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where it concerns a request, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We delete the correspondence when it is no longer needed, unless statutory retention periods apply.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 15–21 GDPR). To exercise them, write to contact@pixelrivals.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.

8. Changes

We update this policy when the website changes. Last updated: 4 November 2026.
