The following information will provide you with an easy to navigate overview of what will happen with your personal data when you visit this website. The term “personal data” comprises all data that can be used to personally identify you. For detailed information about the subject matter of data protection, please consult our Data Protection Declaration, which we have included beneath this copy.
Data recording on this website
Who is the responsible party for the recording of data on this website (i.e., the “controller”)?
The data on this website is processed by the operator of the website, whose contact information is available under section “Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)” in this Privacy Policy.
How do we record your data?
We collect your data as a result of your sharing of your data with us. This may, for instance be information you enter into our contact form.
Other data shall be recorded by our IT systems automatically or after you consent to its recording during your website visit. This data comprises primarily technical information (e.g., web browser, operating system, or time the site was accessed). This information is recorded automatically when you access this website.
What are the purposes we use your data for?
A portion of the information is generated to guarantee the error free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user patterns. If contracts can be concluded or initiated via the website, the transmitted data will also be processed for contract offers, orders or other order enquiries.

You have the right to receive information about the source, recipients, and purposes of your archived personal data at any time without having to pay a fee for such disclosures. You also have the right to demand that your data are rectified or eradicated. If you have consented to data processing, you have the option to revoke this consent at any time, which shall affect all future data processing. Moreover, you have the right to demand that the processing of your data be restricted under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to log a complaint with the competent supervising agency.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have questions about this or any other data protection related issues.

The data of the AgrarDesk portal, meaning accounts, profiles, requests, messages and uploaded files, is processed at the following provider:
Supabase Pte. Ltd
65 Chulia Street #38-02/03
OCBC Centre
Singapore 049513
The database runs in the Ireland region, so the data is stored within the European Union. For operations and support, Supabase may also access the data from the USA and from Singapore. These transfers are covered by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914), which form part of the data processing agreement concluded with Supabase. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the user agreement) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and reliable operation). For details see the Supabase privacy policy: https://supabase.com/privacy
Email hosting
We operate our mailboxes and email forwarding at the following provider:
IONOS SE
Elgendorfer Str. 57
56410 Montabaur
Deutschland
IONOS processes the content and the traffic data of the emails sent to us and sent by us. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in reliable email communication) and, where the communication serves the initiation or performance of a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. For details see the IONOS privacy policy: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/datenschutzerklaerung/
Sending of system and notification emails
The emails AgrarDesk sends automatically, for example the confirmation of your registration, password resets, notifications about requests and messages as well as invoices and payment reminders, are sent through the following provider:
Sendinblue GmbH (Brevo)
Köpenicker Straße 126
10179 Berlin
Deutschland
We transmit the recipient’s email address, the display name and the content of the respective message. The processing serves the performance of the user agreement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and, where security and system notices are concerned, our legitimate interest in reliable operation (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). These messages are part of the service and cannot be unsubscribed from while an account exists. Which additional notifications you wish to receive is up to you in your account settings. For details see the Brevo privacy policy: https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/
Data processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned services. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Transmission to Discord (optional function)
AgrarDesk can send notices from an instance to a Discord channel automatically. This function is switched off by default. It only takes effect once an administrator of the instance enters a so-called webhook URL in the admin area that was previously created in their own Discord server. Without that step, no data whatsoever is transmitted to Discord.
Once the function is set up, we transmit only the following details to Discord for the selected events:
- the type of event, for instance a new request, a new notice or a new classified ad,
- the area concerned, for instance town hall or public works yard,
- the title of the entry in question,
- the processing state, for instance open, in progress, approved or rejected, and a notable priority,
- for notices the type of notice, for classifieds the price,
- for price changes additionally the name of the service, the old and the new price and the percentage change,
- and the presentation details chosen by the operator, that is display name, colour, logo and the ID of a role to be mentioned.
Account data such as the name or email address of members is not transmitted to Discord through the instance channel. One exception is the farm channel a farm owner can set up. Display names are transmitted there, see “Farms, ledger and planner” for details. Titles are free text fields, however. Whatever users enter there is transmitted along with it. Please do not enter personal data in such fields.
The recipient is:
Discord Netherlands BV
Schiphol Boulevard 195
1118 BG Schiphol
Netherlands
and its parent company Discord Inc., 444 De Haro Street #200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Processing takes place in the USA.
Discord is an independent controller for the processing within its own service and processes the data under its own terms. This is therefore not commissioned processing on our behalf, and we have not concluded a DPA with Discord. The legal basis for the transmission by us is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the instance in informing its players about ongoing matters) and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, where the transmission serves the performance of the user agreement. The decision whether and to which channel data is transmitted rests solely with the instance.
The transmitted details are then visible to everyone who has access to the chosen Discord channel. For details see the Discord privacy policy: https://discord.com/privacy
The function can be stopped at any time by deleting the channel in the admin area of the instance. From that moment nothing further is transmitted. Messages that have already arrived in Discord remain there and can only be deleted in Discord itself, as we have no access to the channel.

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TDDDG.

If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is required as part of the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
Information about, rectification and eradication of data
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Right to demand processing restrictions
You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradication of this data.
- If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
- If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If you are under an obligation to share your payment information (e.g. account number if you give us the authority to debit your bank account) with us after you have entered into a fee-based contract with us, this information is required to process payments.
Payment transactions using common modes of paying (Visa/MasterCard, debit to your bank account) are processed exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the communication with us is encrypted, third parties will not be able to read the payment information you share with us.
Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.
4. Recording of data on this website
Cookies
Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this consent may be revoked at any time.
You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
If other cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this information in this privacy policy.
Cookie notice
We do not use a third-party consent tool. On your first visit we display a notice explaining which data this website stores in your browser. Your confirmation is saved locally in your browser only (localStorage). No data is transmitted to us or to any third party in the process. You can display the notice again at any time using the button at the end of this page.
Contact form
If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods.
Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.
These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
Registration on this website
You have the option to register on this website to be able to use additional website functions. We shall use the data you enter only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service you have registered for. The required information we request at the time of registration must be entered in full. Otherwise, we shall reject the registration.
To notify you of any important changes to the scope of our portfolio or in the event of technical modifications, we shall use the e-mail address provided during the registration process.
The data entered during registration is processed for the purpose of implementing the user relationship established by the registration and, if necessary, for the initiation of further contracts (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR).
The data recorded during the registration process shall be stored by us as long as you are registered on this website. Subsequently, such data shall be deleted. This shall be without prejudice to mandatory statutory retention obligations.
Partner links
AgrarDesk works with cooperation partners, for example creators on YouTube or Twitch. If you open AgrarDesk through such a partner’s link, we store that partner’s code in your browser’s local storage (localStorage) for up to 30 days. If you register or sign in during this period, we assign your account to that partner, provided it has not already been assigned to a partner and has never paid for a subscription. When you register, the code is also stored with your account so that the assignment works even if you open the confirmation e-mail on another device. The purpose is to be able to pay the partner a commission for subscriptions that come about through their link.
We only count how often a partner link was opened as a daily total. We store neither your IP address nor any other identifier. So that reloading the page does not count twice, your browser remembers locally that the visit has already been counted that day.
The partner does not learn who you are. They see aggregated figures and their commission, but neither your name nor your e-mail address. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in transparent settlement with our partners (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR). The assignment is kept as long as your account exists and is removed when your account is deleted. We keep commission records for the statutory retention periods without your name or e-mail address.
Profile picture
You can pick one of the motifs we drew as your profile picture. In that case only the name of the motif is stored, no image.
From the Base plan on you can upload your own picture instead. It is cropped to a square of 256 by 256 pixels in your browser and then stored on our storage. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, because the profile picture is part of the service you booked.
Important about access: the storage location is technically publicly readable. The reason is that your picture appears in many lists at once and time limited addresses would expire there. The address contains a long random part and cannot be guessed. We do not publish it, and inside the service the picture is only shown to members of your instance. Anyone who knows the address can still open the image. So please do not upload a picture you would not show elsewhere.
You can remove your picture yourself at any time. It is also deleted when your account or your instance is deleted. If a picture was removed after a report, we keep it for at most 90 days so the decision stays verifiable, and delete it afterwards.
Usage measurement in the AgrarDesk portal
Inside the signed-in portal we measure in anonymised form how the modules are used. We want to see which areas are actually used and where users get stuck. We only record the number of people active at the same time, the time spent per module and the number of module views.
The measurement works without names and without an account identifier. On access our server derives a checksum from your account identifier and a secret value that changes every day. Only that checksum is stored. The daily value is deleted after two days. After that the checksum can no longer be linked to any account, not even by us. Within a single day we can tell that different people were involved, across days we cannot.
No information is stored on or read from your device. No cookie is set, no browser storage entry is created and no device identifier is issued. Your IP address is neither stored nor evaluated for this measurement.
Measurement takes place solely inside the modules of an instance, that is Start, Mailbox, Player portal, City hall, Public works yard, Contract farming company, Country store and Administration. The account area, billing, support and this website are not measured.
We do not store individual events with a timestamp, but counters: two numbers per day, instance, checksum and module. A movement profile or a daily routine cannot be derived from this. Counting only happens while the window is actually visible.
Storage period: the link to a person two days, the counters seven days, the resulting daily figures permanently. The daily figures no longer contain any personal reference and cannot be split back into individual people.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to develop the service according to actual needs and to spot obstacles in its operation. There is no transfer to third parties and no transfer to third countries.
Right to object under Art. 21 GDPR: you can object to the usage measurement at any time. In your account under “Instance & account“ in the “Security“ area there is a switch called “Anonymous usage statistics“. From the moment you turn it off nothing is counted for your account any more. Counters from the last two days that can still be linked to you are deleted along with it. Daily figures that have already been formed remain, because they no longer contain a personal reference and cannot technically be separated again.
Two-factor sign-in
You can protect your account voluntarily with two-factor sign-in. We then store a secret from which your authenticator app generates the six digit codes, along with the time of setup. Of the recovery codes we store checksums only, never the codes themselves. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR together with our legitimate interest in the security of accounts (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If you remove two-factor sign-in, we delete the secret and the checksums.
If you have lost both your second device and your recovery codes, you can request a reset through support. We then ask questions about details that are stored in your account anyway, to make sure it really is your account. We never ask for your password. Which questions were asked, how they were assessed and how the case ended is logged so that we can evidence the check (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Logs in the portal
Inside an instance we keep a log of administrative actions, for example changing roles and permissions, switching modules on and off, invitations and handling requests. We store the time, the type of action, the affected item and the acting account with its display name. These entries are visible to the administration of that instance.
In addition we log actions of the platform operator that concern individual accounts, such as sending a password link, changing an email address on request, resetting two-factor sign-in or a suspension.
The purpose is traceability of changes, investigation of misuse and evidence that we handled your requests properly. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Entries remain for as long as the instance exists. When an instance is deleted, its entries are deleted with it. When your account is deleted we remove your display name from the entries and detach them from your account. The entries concerning your account are part of the data export you can request.
These application logs are to be distinguished from the technical server logs of our providers. You find details on those in section 2 (Hosting).
Farms, ledger and planner
In the player portal, members of an instance can create shared farms. A farm is a closed area for a group of players with an account for game money, a ledger and planners. Amounts in the ledger are game money from Farming Simulator, not real money.
We process the following details:
- the name and colour of the farm, the owner, the members with role and joining date, and the rights granted by the farm,
- bookings with type, amount, category, note, time and the display name of the person who made the booking,
- payments by the farm for invoices from the City Hall, Farm Store, Public Works and Contract Farming, with the matter, the amount, the person who paid and the person paid for,
- planner entries with their values, the assigned person, the due date, a repetition and the person who completed the entry,
- planner templates saved for all farms of an instance, with the display name of the person who saved them,
- the setting whether due instalments are paid automatically by a farm.
Who can see the details: A farm is only visible to its members, to the extent their rights in the farm allow. In addition, the administrators of the instance can view all farms with balance, members and ledger so they can settle disputes. They cannot change anything there. After a plan change they can choose which farms stay active. This choice is recorded with their name in the audit log of the instance. Instance planner templates are visible to everyone allowed to create planners in a farm.
Automatic instalment payments: Only if you switch it on yourself, a farm pays your due instalments automatically once a day. You receive a notification in the portal. You can switch the setting off at any time. It also ends when you leave the farm.
Farm channel in Discord: The owner of a farm can have the farm’s notices sent to a separate Discord channel. The function is switched off by default and only takes effect once the owner enters a webhook URL from Discord. Unlike the instance channel, display names of members are transmitted:
- for a payment by the farm: farm name, title of the matter, amount, the display name of the person who paid or the note “Automatic”, and the display name of the person paid for,
- for a task due today: farm name, planner name, entry title and the display name of the assigned person,
- for a new member: farm name and the display name of the new member,
- for a test message: farm name and the display name of the person who triggered it.
Email addresses are never transmitted. For recipients, processing in the USA and deleting messages that have already arrived, the section “Transmission to Discord” applies accordingly. The owner can remove the channel at any time. Members who do not want this can leave the farm at any time.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as farms are part of the user agreement. For the view by administrators and the farm channel in Discord additionally Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in being able to settle disputes about game money within the instance and in informing the members of a farm about ongoing matters.
Storage period and deletion:
- The details are stored for as long as the farm exists.
- If you leave a farm, your bookings stay in the ledger with your display name so the balance stays traceable for the remaining members. Planner assignments and automatic instalment payments are removed.
- If a farm is deleted, we delete it with its roles, ledger, planners and Discord channel. Payments for matters stay recorded with the respective matter, as they document its payment status.
- If you delete your account, we replace your name in bookings with “[gelöscht]” (German for “deleted”) and remove the link to your account. Farms where you were the only member are deleted. Shared farms remain for the other members.
- If the instance is deleted, all farms of the instance are deleted.
Your details from farms are included in the data export you can request in your account.
