Privacy Policy

Intro

StarWharf game server will collect some data about your character, but not about your real-world persona.

In particular, we're very intersted in preventing cheating and server abuse, but we're entirely uninterested in who you are, what your name is, etc.

Data points

IP-address

We might try to correlate your IP address(es) to detect if you're using multiple accounts (which is not allowed by the rules).

cookies

This game does not use tracking cookies at all, nor shares any cookies with third parites.

The one and only cookie that we do use, is your login information, which is necessary for the game to function (aka "essential cookie").

Your username is not private. It is displayed prominently in the game, for all other players to see.

After each login, your username is stored in a cookie, for your own convinience.

password

Your password is stored securely with proper crypto in our database. Even our moderators/admin can't see it.

Your E-Mail address is not shown inside the game. We will use it to:

  • reset your password (as you request)
  • send you critical messages about your account

We will not use it to:

  • send game newsletters

Social Login

If you use "social login" functionality (e.g. "Sign In With Facebook"), StarWharf will also collect some minimal information about your remote account.

NOTE: No other access permissions (e.g. "Make posts on my behalf") will ever be requested, which you can verify during the login process.
