Last updated: Sector Date 2026 // Real-world equivalent: March 17, 2026

Welcome to Galactic Terminal. The United Earth Fleet (referred to as "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy in the real world just as much as we value your life in the sector. This Privacy Directive outlines how your personal data is collected, used, and protected when you establish a neural link (use our web application).

1. DATA COLLECTION (TELEMETRY GATHERED)

To provide you with a seamless and synchronized multiplayer experience, we collect the following information:

• Account Data: When you enlist, we collect your Commander Name, Email Address, and a unique User ID via Google Firebase Authentication.
• Gameplay Telemetry: We store your ship's coordinates, cargo inventory, credit balance, and combat status in our secure database (Firestore) to synchronize the universe for all players.
• Technical Data: Standard internet logs such as IP addresses, browser types, and timestamp data are temporarily processed to maintain server stability and security.

2. USE OF DATA (OPERATIONAL DIRECTIVES)

Your data is strictly used for the following operational purposes:

• To authenticate your neural link and manage your active session.
• To persist your game progress, ship status, and economy across multiple logins.
• To broadcast your ship's presence and actions to other commanders in real-time.
• To prevent cheating, exploitation, and unauthorized access to fleet servers.

3. COOKIES & LOCAL STORAGE

The Galactic Terminal relies on "Essential Quantum-Cookies". These are strictly necessary for the operation of the application (e.g., keeping you logged in securely via Server-Side Rendering). We also use your browser's Local Storage to save your interface preferences and cookie consent status. We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.

4. THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS (ALLIED FACTIONS)

Our backend infrastructure is powered by Google Firebase. Your authentication data and database entries are stored securely on Google's cloud servers, which comply with stringent international privacy standards. By using Galactic Terminal, you also acknowledge the privacy policies of our infrastructure provider.

5. YOUR RIGHTS (COMMANDER PRIVILEGES)

Under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and equivalent laws, you hold the following rights:

• Right to Access: You may request a copy of all telemetric data we hold on you.
• Right to Erasure: You may request the permanent deletion of your neural link (account) and all associated ship data.
• Right to Rectification: You may request corrections to your data if it is inaccurate.
