Legal Notice & Privacy Policy

Non‑commercial hobby project · Transparent governance · Complete liability disclaimer

This Legal Notice and Privacy Policy (“Legal Text”) governs your access to and use of this website, the associated launcher application, and any related content, downloads, and services (collectively the “Service”). The Service is provided by a private individual operating it as a non‑commercial hobby project. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to the terms set forth herein.

1. Operator Status & Parental Supervision

The Service is operated by a natural person who is under the age of majority (a minor). The operator acts under the direct supervision and with the full consent of his or her parents or legal guardians. All legal responsibility for the operation, content, and any obligations arising from this Service is assumed by the parents or legal guardians, who oversee the project and remain fully liable to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any communication or legal notice addressed to the operator shall be considered received by the supervising parents as well. This disclosure is made to ensure transparency regarding the legal capacity and accountability structure behind the Service.

2. Non‑Commercial & Hobby Project Declaration

The Service is explicitly operated as a non‑commercial, private hobby project. No commercial intent exists, and the operator does not engage in any form of monetization, including but not limited to:

Sale of products, subscriptions, or services;
Placement of paid advertisements or sponsored content;
Collection or sale of user data for commercial purposes;
Affiliate marketing or commission‑based referrals;
Processing of payments or financial transactions.

Any references to third‑party platforms (such as digital storefronts) are purely informational and do not constitute a commercial relationship between the operator and the user. The non‑commercial nature remains irrespective of the Service’s design, scope, or perceived professionalism.

3. No Collection of Personal Data

The operator does not intentionally collect, store, or process any personal data from users. The Service is designed to function without user accounts, registration forms, or any input fields that would capture personally identifiable information. No analytics tools, tracking scripts, cookies, or fingerprinting technologies are employed by the operator.

Technical data such as IP addresses, browser details, and access timestamps may be temporarily processed by third‑party hosting providers or content delivery networks solely to enable the delivery of the Service. This data is controlled exclusively by those third parties under their respective privacy policies. The operator does not have access to, nor does it retain, such technical data.

3.1 Local Storage & User‑Controlled Data

Any configuration files, preferences, or cached information generated by the launcher application or website are stored locally on the user’s own device. The operator never receives, accesses, or transmits this local data. Users may delete such data at any time through their browser or operating system settings.

3.2 No Cookies or Tracking

The Service does not set any cookies, local storage objects, or other persistent identifiers. No consent banner is required because no tracking or non‑essential data processing occurs. External links may lead to third‑party websites that set their own cookies; those practices are beyond the operator’s control and responsibility.

4. Legal Basis & Compliance

To the extent that any data processing occurs via third‑party infrastructure, it is based on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to ensure the Service’s functionality and security. The operator does not engage in profiling, automated decision‑making, or cross‑border data transfers for marketing purposes. Users residing in jurisdictions with comprehensive data protection laws (including the European Economic Area) retain all statutory rights; however, because the operator does not store personal data, such rights would be exercisable against the relevant third‑party hosts where applicable.

5. Intellectual Property

All original content, including text, graphics, code, software, and visual elements, is either owned by the operator or licensed for use within this non‑commercial project. Users are granted a limited, non‑exclusive, revocable license to access and use the Service for personal, non‑commercial purposes. Any reproduction, redistribution, modification, or commercial exploitation of the Service or its components without prior written permission is prohibited. Third‑party trademarks, game titles, and referenced brands remain the property of their respective owners, and no affiliation or endorsement is implied.

6. Program Downloads & Software

The Service may offer downloadable software, installers, or executable files (“Programs”). These Programs are provided free of charge and are made available on an “as‑is” basis. Users assume full responsibility for verifying system compatibility, ensuring adequate security measures, and backing up data prior to installation. The operator disclaims any liability for hardware damage, data loss, or any adverse consequences arising from the download or use of such Programs. Users are advised to only download from official sources linked within the Service.

7. External Links & Third‑Party Platforms

The Service may contain hyperlinks to external websites, repositories, or platforms that are not controlled by the operator. These links are provided for convenience only and do not constitute endorsement or acceptance of responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or terms of use of those third parties. Users should review the applicable policies of any external platform they visit. References to third‑party commercial products (e.g., games available for purchase) do not render this Service commercial, as no commission or financial benefit is received.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service, including all content, software, and materials, is provided “as is” and “as available,” without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator and the supervising parents disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non‑infringement, and freedom from viruses or other harmful components. No oral or written information obtained from the Service shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

9. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the operator or the supervising parents be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to the use or inability to use the Service, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so the above limitations may not apply in full.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the operator and the supervising parents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, violation of this Legal Text, or infringement of any third‑party rights.

11. Changes to This Legal Text

The operator reserves the right to modify or update this Legal Text at any time. The current version will always be accessible via this page. Continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date at the end of this document.

12. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

This Legal Text and any disputes arising from or relating to the Service shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding conflict‑of‑law principles and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Any legal action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Berlin, Germany, provided that the operator may seek injunctive relief in any competent jurisdiction.

13. Contact Information

For questions or concerns regarding this Legal Text, the Service, or the supervision structure, users may contact the operator through the publicly provided contact methods on the Service. Inquiries will be reviewed by the supervising parents where appropriate. Given the non‑commercial nature, responses are provided on a best‑effort basis.
