1. General Information

This website provides a free, browser-based strategy game. We value your privacy and collect as little personal data as necessary. No tracking technologies or third-party advertising tools are used.

2. Data We Collect and Why

2.1 Account Registration

To use certain features of the game (e.g., participating in matches), you may register an account. The following data is collected:

  • Username (freely selectable)
  • Password (stored securely in encrypted form)

Purpose: To provide and manage your personal game account.

2.2 Optional Email Address

You may optionally provide an email address to receive notifications when it's your turn in an ongoing game.
Purpose: To send transactional messages related to game activity. No promotional emails are sent.

2.3 Game Data and Public Match Records

When you play games, the moves, results, and metadata (e.g., time, players involved) are stored in our database.

The following data may be publicly visible to other users:

  • Your username
  • Your rating or ranking
  • Your game history and match data (moves, outcomes, timestamps)

Purpose: To enable transparency, fair play, rating calculation, and game analysis features.

3. Account Deletion

If you request the deletion of your account, all personally identifiable information (such as email address and login credentials) will be permanently removed.

Your past games will not be deleted, as they are part of the shared game archive and may be relevant to other players.

Instead, your username will be replaced with a generic label such as "Deleted User", and your rating will be removed. After this step, your original identity can no longer be restored or linked to the remaining data.

4. Cookies and Tracking

This site does not use cookies or any form of tracking. A JWT (JSON Web Token) is stored in your browser’s localStorage after login to authenticate your session. This token is only stored locally on your device and is not processed server-side.

5. Data Retention

User accounts remain stored until you delete them. You may request account deletion at any time.

6. Data Disclosure

Your data is not shared with third parties. We do not use external analytics, advertising, or cloud-based services.

7. Your Rights

According to the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request information about the data we store about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Restrict or object to data processing
  • Request data portability

To exercise your rights, contact us at: admin@tenco.games

8. Supervisory Authority

If you believe that your data is being processed unlawfully, you may contact your local data protection authority.
