Legal

Information according to German telemedia / digital services rules for the operator of this online game service.

Provider contact details are being finalized. Until the fields below are complete, please use in-game Messages or the public contact channel announced on News for urgent legal or privacy requests.

We process personal data only as needed to run Starveil accounts, keep the game secure and improve the service during Closed Alpha.

Controller: the provider named in the Imprint. Privacy requests can be sent to the contact email listed there.

Typical data: account identifiers (email, commander name), authentication/session data, game progress and logs required for fleets, combat, messages, alliances, payments/donations metadata when those channels are live, and basic technical logs (e.g. IP, user agent) for security and abuse prevention.

Purposes: providing the game, account security, fair play enforcement, support, optional shop/donation processing, and service operation/hosting.

Legal bases (GDPR): contract / pre-contractual steps for playing the game (Art. 6(1)(b)), legitimate interests in security and abuse prevention (Art. 6(1)(f)), and consent where required (e.g. optional marketing — currently not used).

Storage: as long as the account exists and as needed for legal retention, dispute handling or security. Deleted accounts are removed or anonymized after operational cleanup windows.

Recipients: hosting and infrastructure processors acting on our instructions. We do not sell personal data. Payment providers receive only what is required when checkout/donations are enabled.

Your rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection where applicable, plus the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for Germany typically the data protection authority of Niedersachsen or your place of residence).

To exercise privacy rights, contact the email in the Imprint and describe your request clearly (account email / commander name helps).

Starveil is in Closed Alpha. Features, balance, rules and availability can change. Progress is normally kept unless a wipe or reset is announced.

No guarantee of uninterrupted uptime, specific ranking outcomes or permanent feature availability. Combat, economy and NPC systems remain under active development.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer protections remain unaffected where they apply.

Optional paid items (e.g. premium convenience or cosmetics) are described in the Shop catalog. Contract details, pricing and any withdrawal information will be shown at checkout once payment is live.

Starveil does not sell combat power, resources, ships, research progress or ranking points. Optional purchases must not create an unfair combat advantage.

Donations are voluntary expressions of support for hosting and development. They are not a purchase of gameplay power, rank or exclusive combat advantages, and create no entitlement to specific features beyond what is publicly stated.

Starveil is a strategy game with competitive conflict between players. It is intended for a mature audience. There is no real-money gambling mechanic. Parents/guardians should decide suitability for minors.

We aim to keep information accurate, but Closed Alpha content can change quickly. For external links we are not responsible for third-party content. Mandatory liability rules under German law remain unaffected.
