Privacy Policy
Last updated 2026-11-03This explains what Dylan Tackley (“we”, “us”) collects when you play Dormant Dominion (“the Game”), why, and what you can do about it. We keep it short on purpose.
What we collect
- Account details: your email address, and your password stored only as a one-way scrambled hash. We cannot read your password. We also keep the date you agreed to our Terms and whether your email is verified.
- Game data: your player name, clan tag, character appearance, friends and muted-players lists, settings, progress, items, gold, upgrades, Exchange offers, trades with other players, trade prices and party activity, your clan and clan role, and your mailbox. Other players can view your public profile: name, character, worn gear, levels and achievements.
- Chat: messages you send in global chat are shown, with your player name, to everyone who is online. We keep only the most recent messages in the server’s memory, and they disappear when the server restarts. We do not store chat in our database. Clan chat works the same way: only your clan sees it, and it is not stored.
- Mail: letters you send are stored in the receiver’s mailbox in our database until they delete them (each mailbox keeps at most 50). The receiver, and for clan mail every clan member, can read them. We may read mail if a player reports it for abuse.
- Discord: if you sign in with Discord to claim the join reward, Discord tells us your Discord user ID and which servers you are in. We use the server list once to check that you joined ours and do not keep it. We keep your Discord user ID so each Discord account claims the reward once.
- Support: if you email us or post in our Discord, we keep what you send so we can help you. Bug report emails include your player name and game version.
- Purchases: if you buy something, Stripe takes your payment. We receive a confirmation with the payment ID, amount and time. We never see or store your card number.
- Technical data: your IP address and basic request details reach our servers and our hosting provider. We use them to keep the Game running and to block abuse, such as too many sign-in attempts. Hosting providers may keep standard server logs for a short time.
- On your device: we store a sign-in token in your browser’s local storage so you stay signed in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not run analytics.
- Fonts: the Game loads a font from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address and browser details when the page loads.
How we use it
To run the Game and your account, keep it secure, send you account emails (email verification and password reset codes only), process purchases, fix problems, and enforce our Terms. We do not send marketing email.
Who can see it
Other players can see your player name, clan tag, your chat messages, and the fact that you have offers on the Exchange. They cannot see your email.
We use these service providers to run the Game: Render (hosting), Neon (database), Stripe (payments), Resend (email), Discord (community and the join reward), Google (support email) and Google Fonts. They handle data only to provide their service to us. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We may share information if the law requires it or to protect people from harm.
These providers may process data in the United States and other countries.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account exists. When you ask us to delete your account, we remove your account and game data right away. Short-term database backups age out within days. We may keep payment records as long as tax and accounting rules require. Stripe keeps its own payment records under its own policy.
Your choices
You can ask us at dormantdominionsupport@gmail.com to see, correct or delete your data, or to close your account. Send the request from your account email. If you live in California, the EU, the UK or another place with privacy laws, you may have more rights, and you can use them the same way.
Children
The Game is not for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you think a child under 13 has an account, email us and we will delete it.
Security
We protect your data with hashed passwords, encrypted connections and limits on sign-in attempts. No system is perfectly safe, so please use a password you do not use anywhere else.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version. If we make a big change, we will tell you in the Game or by email.
