Data Controller

PTRE is an independent, non-commercial project operated by GeGe, an individual based in France (European Union). The Discord bot PTRE#2518 (Application ID 512294332058042388) and the website ptre.chez.gg are part of the same service and share the same data controller.

The service is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the Paris (eu-west-3) region. Data is not transferred outside the European Union, except when PTRE queries the Gameforge private OGame API on your behalf (see Administration below).

No account is required to use PTRE. There is no sign-up form, no email address collected, and no password stored - access to a PTRE Team is granted through team keys shared inside the team itself.

PTRE is a not-for-profit project. There is no advertising, no data resale, and no use of user data to train AI models.

Tolerated Tool

PTRE is a Gameforge tolerated tool: you may visit the PTRE official board post.

Purpose

PTRE website was created on October 2018 during the huge Topraider outage's month: no one could share Spy Reports anymore via browser, a solution needed to be found. Then, Discord bot PTRE#2518 was created on November 2018 to support Discord integration. PTRE#2518 aims to import OGame Spy Reports to your PTRE private database and share it over Discord to all your teammates.

Privacy

In order to work, the PTRE bot needs to read Discord messages and extract on the fly the "OGame Spy Reports API Keys" that users have copy-pasted into Discord. Then, PTRE connects to GAMEFORGE private API servers and get back the Spy Report content itself... (PTRE commands are also extracted like that).

PTRE#2518 bot is not storing (nor displaying) any Discord message content (the Spy Report Key extraction is done on the fly). It does not store user's IDs, user's status, users list. The only thing that may be temporary stored are Guild IDs and last channel ID used (in order to find your PTRE Team associated), and thoses datas are not considered as "sensitive".

Administration

No one except me (GeGe, as system administrator) can (or had) access to the bot administration. Plus, i am fuly allowed to access to GAMEFORGE's private API servers, as:

• i have a private key provided by GAMEFORGE to connect
• PTRE dedicated server's IP is whitelisted by GAMEFORGE

Your rights (GDPR)

As PTRE operates from the European Union, users are covered by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Regardless of where you live, you may exercise the following rights over any data PTRE holds about you or your PTRE Team:

• Right of access - request a copy of the data associated with you or your team.
• Right of rectification - request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure - request deletion of your spy reports, team, or bot-related data.
• Right to restriction - request that PTRE stop processing your data.
• Right to object - object to any specific processing.
• Right to data portability - request your data in a machine-readable format.

The legal basis for processing is legitimate interest (running an OGame companion tool at the request of PTRE Teams and their members) and, for Discord integration, consent - given implicitly by inviting the bot to a Discord server and by users choosing to share their OGame Spy Report keys in that server.

Requests can be sent through any of the contact channels listed above. PTRE will respond within 30 days.

Age restriction

PTRE is intended for players of OGame, which itself is age-restricted by Gameforge. In line with Discord's Terms of Service, PTRE is not directed at children under 13 years of age (or under the minimum digital-consent age of your country - typically 16 in parts of the European Union). PTRE does not knowingly collect data from anyone below this age. If you believe a minor's data has been processed by PTRE, please contact us and it will be deleted.

Changes to this policy

PTRE may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in features, hosting, or applicable regulations. The Last updated date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.

Material changes (for example: a change of data controller, of hosting location, or of the categories of data collected) will be announced on the PTRE Discord Server before they take effect. Continued use of the bot or website after such a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
