Liability for content

The content of this site has been prepared with great care. We cannot, however, guarantee that it is accurate, complete or up to date; this applies in particular to the calculated gear and build recommendations, which you use at your own risk. As the service provider we are responsible for our own content on these pages under general law (§ 7 (1) DDG). Under §§ 8 to 10 DDG we are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances indicating illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected; liability in this respect is only possible from the moment we become aware of a specific infringement. Upon becoming aware of such an infringement, we will remove the content concerned without delay.

Liability for links

This site contains links to external websites of third parties over whose content we have no influence. We therefore cannot accept any liability for that content; the respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for it. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking, and no illegal content was recognisable then. Upon becoming aware of any infringement, we will remove such links without delay.

Copyright

The content we created for this site (texts, calculations, build lists, source code) is subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, editing, distribution and any kind of use beyond the limits of copyright law require written consent. Where content on this site was not created by us, the copyrights of third parties are respected; in particular the following notice applies.

Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Render (render.com) in its Frankfurt, Germany data center, so the data stays within the EU. Render processes the data on our behalf under its data processing addendum, which includes the EU standard contractual clauses. When you visit the site, the server automatically processes the data your browser transmits: IP address, date and time of the request, the page requested, the amount of data transferred, browser type and version, operating system and the previously visited page (referrer). These data are stored in server log files and are not combined with other data sources. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is the technically reliable and secure operation of the website. The log files are deleted after 7 days.

No cookies, no tracking, no third-party content

This website sets no cookies, uses no analytics or tracking services and embeds no third-party content in your browser. Fonts, icons and images are served from this server. The optimizer's calculations run on the server; only the game settings you choose (profession, traits, gear options) are processed for the request and are not stored. The server obtains game data from the official Guild Wars 2 API (api.guildwars2.com); no data about you is sent in the process.

Contact by e-mail

If you write to us by e-mail, your details are stored to handle the request and for follow-up questions (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or (b) where the request concerns a contract). We do not pass these data on without your consent.

Your rights

You have the right to obtain information about the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR), to rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR). You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
