Who else handles the data

The data is stored on the servers of our hosting provider, who as a processor may only handle it on our instructions. We sell or hand over personal data to nobody.

The hosting provider's details are coming soon.

Cookies

This website sets a single cookie, and only when you log in to your account: it keeps you logged in (it is needed for that, so we do not ask for consent), and it goes when you log out, after 12 hours at most. We use no analytics or third-party content; even the fonts come from our own server. Links to Discord or other sites take you to services with notices of their own.

Age limit

Project Sky is for people aged 16 and over. If we learn that a younger player has registered, we delete the account.

Your rights

You may ask us for:

  • access to the data we keep about you, and a copy of it
  • correcting inaccurate data
  • erasing your data (deleting your account)
  • restricting processing
  • receiving your data in a machine-readable format
  • objecting to processing based on legitimate interest

Send your request to the email address above, from the email address of your account if you can. We answer within a month.

If you think we handle your data unlawfully, you can complain to the Hungarian data protection authority, or go to court:
