Cargo Tempo / Legal information
Privacy policy
1. Controller
The controller responsible for processing personal data on this website and within Cargo Tempo is:
Philipp Kopp
Neunlindenstraße 30
79106 Freiburg
Germany
Email: info@koppwerk.com
2. Website delivery and security
This website is hosted using Amazon Web Services (AWS). The provider for our location is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg. Static files are stored in Amazon S3 in the Frankfurt region. Amazon CloudFront delivers them through a global network; AWS WAF helps protect against malicious requests.
When you visit, data processed includes your IP address, the time, the requested resource and technical request information, such as browser information and, where applicable, the referring page. This enables delivery, troubleshooting and protection against attacks. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is secure and reliable operation.
The website itself does not maintain a visitor database or store its own access logs. The provider may generate technical operational and security data. Retention depends on what is necessary for operation, error analysis and abuse prevention, as well as statutory obligations. Data relating to a specific security incident may be needed until it has been investigated and for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
3. Browser language preference
The homepage and these legal and contact pages are displayed in English by default. You can choose English, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Japanese, Italian or Spanish. Language is not automatically inferred from browser or location data. The website does not track your location or determine your country from your IP address.
Only when you choose a language yourself is it saved in your browser's local storage under cargo-tempo-language. This value contains only the selected language and is not transmitted to a server by the website. It remains stored until you replace it with another selection or delete the website data in your browser.
Access to this storage serves only the language function you explicitly requested (Section 25(2), point 2 TDDDG). To the extent that personal data is processed, this is based on our legitimate interest in providing the requested language under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
4. Cookies, audience measurement and advertising
This website currently uses no analytics, marketing or tracking cookies and does not use audience measurement or personalised advertising. If its functionality changes, this notice will be updated before those features are used and any required consent will be obtained.
5. Links to Steam
The website includes links to the Cargo Tempo Steam store page. No data is transmitted through those links unless you open them. Opening a link takes you away from this website; the respective external provider is responsible for subsequent processing.
6. Email contact and Spaceship
You can contact us at info@koppwerk.com. We process your email address, your name if supplied, and the content and any attachments of your message to handle your enquiry. Please send only information necessary for that purpose. We cannot reply without a reachable contact address.
Article 6(1)(b) GDPR applies to contractual or pre-contractual enquiries. Other enquiries are handled on the basis of our legitimate interest in communication under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Messages are retained for as long as necessary to handle the enquiry and document its resolution. Further retention occurs only where required by law or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Domain administration, DNS and the email mailbox are provided by Spaceship, Inc., 4600 East Washington Street, Suite 300, Phoenix, AZ 85034, USA. For email traffic, the provider processes sender and recipient addresses, message content and technical delivery information in particular. An email link opens your own email application; the website does not send a message itself.
7. Recipients and international transfers
AWS and Spaceship receive data as part of the services described above and may engage sub-processors for those services. We do not share visitor data for advertising or data trading.
The global CloudFront network and the use of Spaceship may involve processing outside the European Union and the European Economic Area, particularly in the USA. Storing website files in Frankfurt therefore does not mean that all processing takes place exclusively in Germany.
The providers' data processing terms provide for EU Standard Contractual Clauses as safeguards for relevant international transfers where no applicable adequacy decision exists. Information and contractual terms are available from the AWS GDPR Center and the Spaceship Data Processing Addendum. You can also request information about the safeguards applicable to your data via our contact address.
8. Your rights
Subject to the applicable legal conditions, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability (Articles 15–20 GDPR). Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation (Article 21 GDPR). You may withdraw any consent at any time with effect for the future. Please contact info@koppwerk.com.
We do not carry out automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
9. Right to lodge a complaint
Under Article 77 GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the place of your habitual residence, place of work or the alleged infringement. The authority responsible for our location is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg.
Optional game telemetry – updated 13 October 2026
Both purposes are voluntary, separately selectable and off by default. You can play without telemetry. No optional telemetry files or tester identifier are created before consent. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, consent under section 25(1) TDDDG. A local choice receipt remembers your settings.
Gameplay analytics includes game/run/session events, generated city and route data, deliveries, virtual results, choices, menu actions, settings, camera-use summaries, timestamps and durations. Diagnostics includes operating system, CPU/GPU and memory characteristics, display settings, performance and shortened hashes of errors and stack traces. No entered text, player names, Steam user/account IDs, permanent device IDs, real-world location or raw keystrokes.
Shared metadata includes a random pseudonymous tester ID, run/session IDs, schema, game version, immutable build ID, developer/player and demo/release classification, and editor/local/Steam launch source. An initialized Steam SDK may provide a Steam build number. These are client reports, not authenticated player identities.
Only selected purposes are recorded and uploaded as compressed packages over HTTPS to AWS. The provider is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg. S3, API and telemetry processing are configured in Frankfurt (eu-central-1); the private bucket is encrypted. AWS necessarily processes the IP address when receiving requests. The game does not include it in telemetry payloads and our telemetry application logs do not record it. Processor arrangements and international transfer safeguards are described in this privacy policy. Storage in Frankfurt does not mean exclusively German processing.
Local telemetry is pruned after 90 days. Cloud raw data is scheduled for automatic deletion after 90 days, new developer data after 14 days, application logs after 7 days. S3 lifecycle deletion is asynchronous. The local choice receipt remains to remember settings. Offline or interrupted uploads stay queued and retry while the game runs, including after restart. Confirmed events are not included again in later packages; repeated requests are checked using stable package identities.
You may change or withdraw consent in privacy settings at any time without gameplay disadvantages. Withdrawal stops new collection/uploads for that purpose, aborts active requests and deletes the shared local telemetry and old tester ID. Requests already received by AWS cannot be recalled retroactively. For access or erasure of earlier uploads, note the displayed telemetry ID before withdrawing and contact info@koppwerk.com. No account identity is collected to identify you later. Rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and complaint to a supervisory authority, including LfDI Baden-Württemberg, remain available. No advertising, sale of data or automated decisions with legal effects.
Voluntary manual reports Give feedback or B lets you submit reports independently of automatic telemetry. Only Send uploads your text, optional category and always a game screenshot captured when opening the dialog, plus game version, build, language, scene, phase, day, seed and screen size. If selected: OS, CPU, GPU, RAM, quality level, credits and run result. Text and images may contain personal information. Purpose: investigate bugs, process feedback and improve the game. Recipients: Koppwerk and AWS in Frankfurt. Cloud storage is private and encrypted, with deletion within 365 days. Submitted reports stay locally until upload is confirmed; retries run while the game is open. Pending lets you remove local reports, not reports already received in the cloud. This does not change telemetry settings. No desktop, microphone or video recording. For questions or deletion requests, use the privacy contact above.
