Policy

Privacy Policy

This policy describes the data handled by Sector 84, a persistent multiplayer space trading game. It is a simple operating policy for the current site and game service, not legal advice.

Last updated: September 11, 2026

Information We Collect

Sector 84 may collect account details such as email address, captain display name, avatar image, session data, password reset request metadata, and gameplay records including universe membership, captain names, sector position, trades, automated route configuration and status, ship state, planet ownership, invasion results, minefields, safe-harbor berths, wrecks and salvage, corporation membership, memos, diplomacy, bounties, Captain's Orders and daily-directive progress, mission offers, assignment steps and outcomes, market-opportunity participation, recovery-package eligibility and claims, protection state, return-report acknowledgements, corporation projects and contributions, corporation port settings, scoring-period baselines, statistics, standings and awards, alerts, rankings, and activity events. If desktop or Steam integration is enabled for testing or a future release, Sector 84 may also process bearer-session metadata, a verified Steam identity, account-link status, authentication audits, and achievement-sync state.

How We Use It

We use this information to run the game, authenticate accounts, restore sessions, process commands, show leaderboards, captain registries, corporation rosters, diplomacy state, wanted lists, automation status, port access rules, opportunity premiums, recovery eligibility, onboarding and daily progress, mission eligibility and rewards, summarized return activity, alerts, maintenance notices, scoring-period history and awards, cross-client account links, and audit history, prevent abuse, debug the service, and improve balance and reliability.

Security And Retention

Passwords and reset tokens are stored as hashes. Password changes revoke existing sessions, reset secrets are carried in URL fragments rather than server request paths, and accounts are limited to their ten newest active sessions. Access to operational data should be limited to service administration and debugging needs. Gameplay and account data may be retained while the account or persistent universe exists unless deletion is requested or retention is required for security.

Third-Party Services

A deployed version may use hosting, database, email delivery, analytics, logging, abuse-prevention, or platform providers. If Steam support is enabled, Valve may process Steam identity, ownership, authentication, achievement, and privacy-safe Rich Presence data under its own terms. Providers process data only as needed to operate and protect the service or deliver the platform feature requested by the player.
