Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Data Controller Identity

Welcome to Forgotten Star Legends. Astral Entertainment Ventures Ltd is the data controller responsible for your personal data when you interact with our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Even though our platform requires no accounts to play Nebula Spin or Meteor Crash, we may process minimal technical data to ensure the site functions correctly.

2. The Data We Collect

Because Forgotten Star Legends operates without user registration or logins, we do not collect names, email addresses, or financial data for gameplay. The data we collect is limited to technical information, such as IP addresses, browser types, and session duration. We also temporarily store your Astral Shards balance locally on your device to maintain your progress across sessions.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your technical data under the lawful basis of legitimate interests. This allows us to provide a secure, optimized, and functional experience while you play Lunar Mines and our other games. We balance our legitimate interests against your privacy rights, ensuring that our data collection is minimal and non-intrusive.

4. How We Use Your Data

Your technical data is used exclusively to deliver the Forgotten Star Legends experience. This includes tracking your virtual Astral Shards balance, monitoring website performance, identifying technical errors, and preventing malicious activity. We do not use your data to profile you for external marketing purposes.

5. Data Retention

Since you do not have an account, your Astral Shards balance is stored locally on your browser. Our server-side logs containing IP addresses and technical data are retained for a maximum of 30 days for security auditing purposes. After this period, the data is automatically and securely deleted.

6. Third-Party Sharing

Astral Entertainment Ventures Ltd does not sell or rent your data to third parties. We only share technical data with trusted service providers (such as hosting platforms) who assist us in operating Forgotten Star Legends. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements under UK law.

7. Your Data Subject Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict the processing of your personal data. Given the anonymous nature of our platform, fulfilling these requests may require you to provide additional technical identifiers. You also have the right to data portability and to object to certain processing activities.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Forgotten Star Legends uses cookies and similar technologies to function. These are primarily essential cookies needed to save your Astral Shards and game states in Nebula Spin. For detailed information on the types of cookies we use and how to manage them, please refer to our dedicated Cookie Policy.

9. Data Security

We implement robust technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. All traffic to and from Forgotten Star Legends is encrypted using modern TLS standards, ensuring your connection to our celestial observatory remains secure.

10. Children's Privacy

Forgotten Star Legends is strictly for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect or process data from individuals under the age of 18. If we discover that a minor is using the platform, we will immediately delete any associated technical data and block access.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or UK regulatory requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of Forgotten Star Legends signifies your acknowledgment of any updates.

12. Complaints and ICO Contact

If you have concerns about how we handle your data, please contact us at support@forgottenstarlegends.com. You also have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection issues.
