Privacy policy

Updated:

Void Pioneer is a browser game at voidpioneer.com. This policy explains what data we receive when you play or create a pilot account.

Playing without an account

You can play without signing up. Your progress, settings and language choice then stay in your browser (localStorage) and are not sent anywhere.

Pilot accounts

If you create an account, we store:

  • your email address, to sign you in and contact you about your account;
  • a password hash if you sign up with a password. We never store the password itself;
  • the pilot callsign you choose, which other players can see;
  • your cloud save: ship state, credits, contracts, reputation and summary statistics (credits, pirates destroyed, crews rescued, contracts completed).

Signing in with Google

If you sign in with Google, we receive only your Google account ID, email address, name and profile picture URL (the openid, email and profile permissions). Your name may be used to suggest a callsign and the picture as your avatar. We get no access to your Gmail, contacts or Google files.

Sessions and cookies

After you sign in, your browser receives a single technical session cookie that sign-in needs to work. Together with the session we store your browser’s User-Agent string. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.

Technical logs

Our server and the Cloudflare network that serves the site keep standard request logs (IP address, time, requested page). They are used for security and abuse prevention and are kept for a limited time.

Public profile and leaderboards

If you have a cloud save, your callsign, avatar, sign-up date, current system, career statistics and faction reputation are visible to everyone on your pilot page and on the leaderboards. Your email, ship state and the game save itself stay private.

Why we use this data

Only so you can sign in, keep your progress across devices, see pilot rankings, and so the site runs securely. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties, apart from infrastructure providers (hosting, Cloudflare) that process it on our behalf.

Your rights

You can ask us to show, correct or completely delete your account and all data linked to it. Write to [email protected] from the address linked to your account. You can revoke the app’s access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Children

The game is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
