The user can object to this at any time and request deletion of his data from the mailing list in written form (e.g. via Email). The user will not be charged for such request, but he will have to pay for the costs of transmitting such request (at basic tariffs). The user will be informed about his right to object and he will be given the right to transmit his objection in each information and in each newsletter sent by TRAVIAN.
What does TRAVIAN do with user data?
TRAVIAN will use the information automatically collected through the user’s access and use of the Websites and games operated by TRAVIAN to help determine how the Websites and games are utilized and to help improve the Websites and games. For ex-ample, the information will allow: (i) to determine which pages are the most popular with users, (ii) to determine if the Websites and games are working properly or if the Websites and games are being used improperly, and (iii) to improve the user experience on the Website.
TRAVIAN will collect and store protocols which reflect how the Websites and games operated by TRAVIAN are used, e.g. in-game user activity, in-game communication between users or communication within game related services. These protocols include the monitoring of gaming patterns and inspections regarding possible manipulations of the games operated by TRAVIAN. Therefore, these protocols can be used to detect and disclose improper and unduly user activity. TRAVIAN uses specific programs in order to detect infringements of the rules of the games, e.g. programs which can detect the use of unauthorized scripts and which can store the IP-addresses as well as further data which the browser transfers as header information. In case that TRAVIAN notices that a user acts in breach of his contractual obligations, e.g. by using unauthorized scripts, TRAVIAN expressly reserves its rights to merge the IP-address of the respective user with other data which is already stored regarding that user, in order to make the user aware of his breach of contractual obligations. TRAVIAN may institute further meas-ures against the respective user in order to restore regular gaming services.
For purposes of handling of payments, TRAVIAN shall be entitled to transfer user data to external service providers assigned with the collection of the remuneration, in as far as this is necessary for the determination of the remuneration and settlement of accounts with the user. TRAVIAN shall further be entitled to transfer user data to such thirds parties to whom TRAVIAN has assigned its claims against the user, in as far as this is necessary for the collection of the assigned claims. TRAVIAN shall inform the user of the names of such third parties. If TRAVIAN cooperates with third parties in order to render its services, it shall commit such third party to adhere to the effective data protec-tion regulations and to provide for adequate data protection.

TRAVIAN may aggregate and use certain non-personally identifiable information for research, advertising or marketing purposes and may share, sell and rent or trade that information and statistical data derived from that information with advertisers, vendors, customers or other third parties for research or marketing purposes. The aforementioned utilization of data is carried out anonymously and TRAVIAN does not use automati-cally collected information to identify a particular user. TRAVIAN informs the user that such information is not Personal Information and is therefore not subject to the privacy restrictions of this Privacy Policy. If and as far as TRAVIAN uses personal data to cre-ate user profiles, TRAVIAN shall not transfer such profiles without the prior consent of the user and shall immediately stop such utilization of user profiles if the user objects to such use of his data.
TRAVIAN may possibly enable third parties to contact the user for advertising pur-poses. As long as the user does not object, his user data may also be used for sending him advertisements which reflect his interests (based on the information he has submit-ted to TRAVIAN and on his actions within the games and Websites operated by TRAVIAN).
Changes to or Deletion of Personal Data
The user may make changes to his personal data at any time (e.g. in order to update or correct such data) or delete his personal data completely. If the user would like TRAVIAN to change his personal data or stop using his data, the user may contact TRAVIAN at support@travian.de. TRAVIAN will then make the required changes or delete the user data as quickly as possible. TRAVIAN points out that due to technical or organizational reasons some measures may still be carried out after the user has submit-ted his request for deletion, if such measures were already initiated but not accom-plished by that time.
Information as to personal data
The user shall be entitled to request free of charge information on the content and extent of his stored personal data through a corresponding written notice to TRAVIAN. This information will usually be provided electronically, normally via Email.

Doing so, however, may inhibit the user experience on the Websites and games operated by TRAVIAN and the user may not be able to take full advantage of all offerings on the Websites and games oper-ated by TRAVIAN.
