Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Data Controller

Welcome to the Hidden Moon Empire. Lunar Zenith Entertainment Ltd acts as the Data Controller under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We are dedicated to protecting your privacy while you enjoy our free social games, including Lunar Cascade, Crater Sweep, and Celestial Astrolabe.

2. The Data We Collect

As a platform requiring no registration, we collect minimal data. We process anonymous session data, device type, and gameplay analytics to ensure the proper functioning of your Stardust balance. No personally identifiable information such as names or financial details is ever requested.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your limited technical data based on our legitimate interests to maintain the security and functionality of the Hidden Moon Empire. This ensures your progress in accumulating Stardust is saved locally during your session without compromising your personal privacy.

4. Your Data Subject Rights

Under UK law, you possess rights to access, rectify, erase, and restrict the processing of your data. Because our platform is account-free, linking session data to a specific individual is complex; however, you may contact our privacy team at support@hiddenmoonempire.com for assistance with your rights.

5. Data Portability and Security

We utilize industry-standard encryption to protect the transmission of gameplay data. You have the right to data portability, though our non-registered structure means your Stardust balance is tied to local browser storage rather than a central identifiable server database.

6. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your data to outside parties for marketing purposes. Analytics providers may process anonymized interaction data to help us improve the mechanics of games like Celestial Astrolabe.

7. Retention Periods

Session and local storage data, including your Stardust balance, remain on your device until cleared. Server-side analytics logs are anonymized and typically purged after 90 days in accordance with ICO guidelines.

8. Cookies and Tracking

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep track of your Stardust and ensure site security. For detailed information on how we manage these technologies and how you can control them, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

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). We encourage you to contact us first so we can resolve any concerns regarding the Hidden Moon Empire.

10. Policy Updates

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or UK law. Continued exploration of the Hidden Moon Empire following such changes constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated terms.
