Local saves and settings
You can play First Chair offline without registering. Your resort, construction actions, progress and settings are stored on your device. You can remove local game data through your operating system. Without a backup, deleting a local save is permanent.
Optional First Chair cloud and device pairing
The cloud is off by default. Enable it under Settings › Game › Cloud saves or under Settings › Account to use your saves on paired devices. We send your saves, your chosen device name and random device and account identifiers over HTTPS to supabase-firstchair.marketport.de, operated by market port GmbH. The service processes technical session data, timestamps, save revisions and your IP address for the connection. Each device has its own pseudonymous access. The primary device creates single-use codes that expire after ten minutes. The server stores only their hashes. We use cloud data for authentication, pairing, synchronisation and service security. Store purchases, ad consent and global settings are excluded from cloud saves.
Legal basis and retention. Optional sync relies on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). We rely on our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the service for processing needed to keep it secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can pause sync on each device and withdraw your cloud consent going forward. From the primary device you can remove pairings and delete the shared cloud data. Your local copies are kept. Cloud saves are kept until replaced or deleted. Deleted data may remain in server backups until they expire. Technical access records may be retained separately from saves. To request deletion of these records or exercise your privacy rights, email service@marketport.de. Cloud access cannot be recovered by email.
Delete your cloud account and data
Use device management in the app or request deletion of your First Chair cloud account and associated data through the support form. Choose “Other”, use “Delete cloud account” as the subject and keep session tokens and pairing codes private. We will reply by email if we need more details to identify the account.
Advertising on iPhone, iPad and Android
The free mobile version may show ads through Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). The full version and the Mac version are ad-free. You choose whether to start a rewarded video. Where a consent prompt is required, Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP, IAB TCF) manages your choices. Apple’s App Tracking Transparency also applies to tracking on iOS/iPadOS. When Google makes ad privacy options available for your region, you can change or withdraw your choice under Settings › Account.
Google may process IP addresses and approximate location, advertising or other device identifiers, ad and app interactions, and diagnostic and performance data to serve and measure ads, analyse usage and prevent fraud. Personalisation, tracking and device access that requires consent rely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, § 25(1) of Germany’s TDDDG). Where permitted, processing for non-personalised advertising or fraud prevention may rely on legitimate interests in funding and securing the service (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Ads may be limited or unavailable depending on your choices and availability. See Google’s information on data from partner sites and apps and Google’s Privacy Policy for recipients and possible international transfers.
Purchases, platform services and backups
The App Store or Google Play processes purchases and restores. The app uses purchase status to unlock content on the device. market port GmbH does not receive payment details. Apple and Google handle store downloads, optional platform diagnostics and device backups under their own policies. A separately enabled iCloud build uses your own iCloud account through Apple. This service is separate from the First Chair cloud. Apple Privacy · Google Privacy
Support and privacy rights
We use the contact details and content of a support request to handle it and reply by email. When you send the in-app form, your name, email address, subject, message, category, language, request ID, app version, platform and OS version are sent over HTTPS to hub.marketport.de. Your IP address is processed for the connection. The Hub stores the ticket and forwards new support messages to awork GmbH’s project management system so we can handle them. Depending on the request, we process these details to perform a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) or based on our legitimate interests in handling and securing support requests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We retain requests for as long as needed to handle them or meet legal obligations.
Subject to the GDPR, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and complaint to a supervisory authority. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that took place before withdrawal. For contact details and further information see the market port GmbH privacy policy.
