This document is our engineering blueprint for data handling. It's designed to be read, not just filed away. Every clause reflects a technical constraint, a user expectation, or a design trade-off we actively chose.
Every interaction with our website or games triggers a predictable data flow. We designed our systems to minimize data collection by default, treating personal data like a liability—something to be contained and secured.
Legal Basis (Art. 6 GDPR)
Legitimate Interest: For basic site analytics and security logging. We balance this against your privacy through strict retention periods (see Section 4).
Contractual Necessity: Required only for account creation and game saves. Never used for marketing unless explicitly opted-in.
Data Minimization in Practice
We do not build customer profiles. Game telemetry is anonymized within 24 hours and aggregated. Your email is stored in a hashed format unless you interact with support. Our Cookie Policy details our strict category approach: strictly necessary only.
Data Flow Diagram
Input: Browser / App
Step 1: TLS 1.3 Encryption (In Transit)
Step 2: Input Validation & Sanitization
Step 3: Pseudonymization (If Stored)
Step 4: Ephemeral Cache (24h)
The Cookie Dilemma
A Privacy Lens
On a gaming site, performance is paramount. Third-party cookies for ads or analytics are performance killers. Our choice was stark.
What We Chose
Server-side logging with IP pseudonymization. Zero third-party trackers. A single, first-party session cookie for game saves.
Optimizes
Speed, User Trust, Legal Compliance
What We Sacrificed
Granular user behavior analytics. Real-time conversion funnels. Cross-visit retargeting capabilities.
Sacrifices

02 / Your Rights
Your Data, Your Control
Under GDPR and Italian privacy law, you hold the rights below. We've built the technical pathways to exercise them without gatekeeping or delay.
1
Right of Access (Art. 15)
Request a full copy of all data we hold. Process time: 30 days max.
Under GDPR, Trackeno Studio can process your data if it's necessary for our "legitimate interests" — our business operations that don't override your rights. For us, this means basic security logging and essential analytics to keep the site running.
Example: We log your IP address in server errors. This helps us fix bugs and stop attacks. We balance this by immediately pseudonymizing the IP (hashing it) and deleting raw logs after 7 days.
This is not consent. You have the right to object to this processing. If you do, we will stop, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests (e.g., a legal requirement).
