5. security measures through Unity Cloud
Explanation
 Unity Cloud is used to ensure the security and integrity of games. For example, an app/game version is stored in the cloud with a unique hash value. Each time the app is started, this hash value is queried to detect manipulation (cheats). If the hash value deviates, it is assumed that the app has been tampered with, whereupon it is blocked. The data transfer is encrypted and serves to protect honest players.
Purpose
 These security measures ensure a fair gaming environment and protect the integrity of the game.
Legal basis
 Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
