Privacy Policy
This page explains which personal data is processed when you use Darkastral, why it is processed and what your rights are. We only process the data needed to run the game, keep your account secure and meet legal obligations; we do not sell your data or share it for advertising.
Data we process
- Account details: username, email address and an irreversible hash of your password (the password itself is never stored).
- Security records: last login time and IP address, failed login attempts, password reset requests and account activity logs.
- Game data: your commander profile, ships, items, progress, ranking, clan membership, in-game chat and messages.
- Payment records: the amount, status and date of your Quartz orders and the transaction number issued by the payment provider. Your card details are processed by the payment provider iyzico; Darkastral never sees or stores your card number.
- Cookies: a session cookie that keeps you logged in, a security token used to protect forms and a "lang" cookie that remembers your language. No advertising or tracking cookies are used.
