Privacy Policy

Connecting to the Server

When you connect to our game servers, we collect and log the following information:

• Your IP address
• A hashed hardware identifier (HWID)
• Your account UUID and username
• Any data you explicitly input and save (e.g., character preferences)
• Logs of in-game actions and chat, including private messages with staff

These logs are primarily used for enforcement of server rules and detecting rule violations such as ban evasion which is common in most if not all multiplayer games. Connection data (IP, HWID) may be shared with trusted server administrators but is never made public. Logs of in-game actions may be made public, and this can include private conversations had with server administrators where needed.

To detect and prevent VPN-based ban evasion, new player IPs may be sent to the third-party IPIntel service for authentication. Users may request an exemption from VPN restrictions via our forums, which will also stop their IP from being shared with IPIntel. IPs of existing players are generally not sent.

Certain in game interactions, including conversations with staff or messages in OOC channels, may be relayed to our community Discord server and logged there.

Discord Account Linking

When optionally linking your discord account to our game, we collect the following information:

• Your Patreon supporter tier if you have linked it through discord
• Your discord account username and discord ID if you have linked it to the game

This is required for Patreon functions to work, but is not required to connect or play on the server.

Usage and Storage

Measures are implemented to ensure the security of this data. The data is stored for as long as the game remains operational, or for such longer period as is otherwise necessary to support the legitimate purposes described below. However, as with all online services, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure against all future security threats.

This data is retained and processed on the basis of legitimate interest for the following reasons:

- Ensuring fair gameplay, including the continuous detection, investigation, and prevention of; cheating, exploitation, fraud, violations of the rules, and other abusive or disruptive behaviors;

- Protecting the game ecosystem and player community, including enforcing terms of service (server rules) and community standards;

- Preventing, and responding to reported security incidents, such as account compromise, automated abuse, and denial-of-service or similar attacks;

- Meeting reasonable player expectations, as players reasonably expect a live service game to process and retain data necessary to operate fairly, securely, and reliably;

- Processing is limited to what is necessary to the above reasons, as the data processed is closely linked to the core service and does not involve any undisclosed, unrelated, or excessive secondary uses.

We process and retain this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a fair, secure, and abuse-free live service game. This includes maintaining game functionality, detecting cheating or fraud, enforcing our rules, and protecting the player community. Data is retained only for as long as the game remains playable or as otherwise necessary for these purposes.
