Privacy Protocols

Last Updated: 25 October 2023

1. Data Controller Identification

Welcome to the privacy protocols of the Shadow Galaxy Empire. Shadow Galaxy Entertainment Ltd acts as the Data Controller under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We are committed to protecting the privacy of all citizens navigating our digital universe.

2. The Data We Process

To allow you to access the Nebula Loom and Hyperjump Crash simulations, we process minimal technical data. This includes IP addresses, browser types, and session duration. Because we do not require user accounts or registration, we do not collect personal identifiers such as names, postal addresses, or financial data.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your technical data based on legitimate interests to ensure the security, stability, and functionality of the Shadow Galaxy Empire platform. This allows us to deliver your daily Dark Matter Cores and maintain the performance of our free simulations without compromising your personal privacy.

4. Virtual Currency and Gameplay Data

Your balance of Dark Matter Cores and your progress in games like Nebula Loom are stored locally on your device via local storage. We do not transmit or store your gameplay history on external servers, ensuring your galactic exploits remain strictly under your own control.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

Shadow Galaxy Entertainment Ltd does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your data to outside parties for marketing purposes. We may share anonymised, aggregated telemetry data with trusted web hosting partners solely to operate our website and defend against cyber threats.

6. Data Retention Protocols

Because we operate a no-registration model, session data is kept only as long as necessary to facilitate your current visit to the Shadow Galaxy Empire. Server access logs are routinely purged every 30 days in accordance with our strict data minimisation standards.

7. Your Data Subject Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict the processing of your personal data. You also possess the right to data portability. Given our accountless system, you can exercise your right to erasure simply by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies, which will reset your Dark Matter Cores.

8. Cookies and Local Storage

We utilise strictly necessary technologies to save your simulation progress and preferences. For comprehensive details regarding these trackers, please refer to the official Shadow Galaxy Empire Cookie Policy available in our databank footer.

9. Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

If you believe our processing of your data violates data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). However, we invite you to contact our emissaries first at support@shadowgalaxyempire.com so we may resolve the issue swiftly.

10. Policy Updates

The Shadow Galaxy Empire may periodically update these privacy protocols to reflect new legal or technological developments. Any changes will be posted directly to this terminal page. Your continued exploration of our universe constitutes acknowledgement of these updates.
