Yakuma respects your privacy and processes personal data only where necessary to operate this website, communicate with you, protect our services, or comply with legal obligations.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Yakuma corporate website. Yakuma products and games have separate privacy policies where additional processing activities apply.
1. Controller
The controller responsible for the processing of personal data on this website is:
Yakuma — Yassin Kuczma
c/o Online-Impressum 10897
Europaring 90
53757 Sankt Augustin

Email: mail@yakuma.de
2. Website Hosting
This website is hosted using GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub, Inc.
When you access the website, your device communicates with GitHub's infrastructure in order to deliver the requested website content. In this context, technical information such as your IP address, date and time of access, requested resources, browser information and similar connection data may be processed.
GitHub Pages logs and stores visitors' IP addresses for security purposes.
The processing serves the secure, stable and efficient provision of the website. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of the website.
GitHub operates infrastructure internationally and personal data may therefore be processed outside the European Economic Area. International transfers are handled in accordance with the safeguards described by GitHub in its privacy documentation.
Further information is available in the GitHub Privacy Statement.
3. Contact Form
You can contact Yakuma through the contact form available on this website.
The form processes:
- your name;
- your email address;
- information about your project; and
- your message.
We use this information to receive, review and respond to your inquiry and, where applicable, to take steps toward a business relationship.
If your inquiry concerns a potential or existing contractual relationship, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. For other inquiries, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is communicating with persons who contact Yakuma.
Web3Forms
The contact form is processed using Web3Forms, a service operated by Web3Creative.
When you submit the form, the information entered into the form and technical information associated with the submission are transmitted to Web3Forms. Web3Forms processes the submission on our behalf and forwards it to Yakuma.
Yakuma acts as the controller for the information submitted through the form. Web3Forms acts as a processor.
Web3Forms uses infrastructure and subprocessors in several countries. Transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area to third countries are protected through appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
Web3Forms may retain form submission data for up to three years from the date of submission, unless a shorter retention period applies or the data is deleted earlier.
Further information is available in the Web3Forms Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.
4. Spam Protection with hCaptcha
The contact form is protected against automated submissions, spam and abuse using hCaptcha, a service provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., United States.
For this purpose, hCaptcha processes information necessary to determine whether an interaction originates from a person or an automated system. This may include technical and interaction information such as your IP address, browser and device information, timestamps and interaction data.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is protecting the contact form and our infrastructure against spam, automated abuse and malicious activity.
Where information is stored on or accessed from your device solely to provide this security functionality, such processing is limited to technologies necessary to provide and secure the requested functionality.
Intuition Machines uses recognised safeguards for applicable international data transfers, including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
The hCaptcha widget loads when you approach the contact form or try to submit an inquiry. This may establish a connection to hCaptcha even if you do not send an inquiry.
Further information is available in the hCaptcha Privacy Policy.
5. Email Communication and IONOS
Yakuma uses email services provided by:
IONOS SE

IONOS processes this information on our behalf as a processor. The processing is governed by a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
If your communication concerns a potential or existing contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. For other communications, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is receiving, managing and responding to communications addressed to Yakuma.
Emails and related correspondence are retained for as long as necessary to handle the relevant inquiry or business relationship. Where commercial, tax or other statutory retention obligations apply, relevant correspondence is retained for the legally required period.

8. International Data Transfers
Some service providers used for this website operate internationally or use infrastructure located outside the European Economic Area.
Where European data protection law applies and personal data is transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area, the transfer is based on an applicable legal transfer mechanism. Depending on the provider and destination, this may include an adequacy decision, participation in an applicable data privacy framework, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or another legally recognised safeguard.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
The retention period depends on the purpose of the processing, the nature of the communication, contractual requirements and applicable statutory retention obligations.
Service providers retain technical information and other data according to the retention periods applicable to their respective services.
