This policy covers the www.packetdominance.com portal and the game worlds (such as world01.packetdominance.com). No data is sold or used for advertising or profiling.
Data controller
Benjamin VINCENT, publisher of the site (full details in the legal notice). Contact for any question about your data: contact@vincentbenjamin.fr.
Data processed, purposes, legal bases and retention
Player account
- Data
- Username, email address, password (only a hash is stored), API access key, sign-up and last activity dates, avatar if you choose one.
- Purpose and legal basis
- Create and run your account, let you recover access, send the email alerts you turned on. Legal basis: performance of the service (contract); alerts rely on your choice, which you can change at any time.
- Retention
- As long as the account exists.
Security and sign-in
- Data
- IP address, browser, pages requested, session identifier.
- Purpose and legal basis
- Limit abuse (sign-in attempts, mass sending), diagnose outages and keep you signed in. Legal basis: legitimate interest (security of the service).
- Retention
- Web server logs: 14 days. Sign-in limiters: in memory only, from a few minutes to one hour. Sessions: 30 days of inactivity.
Game and public information
- Data
- Username, avatar, companies and assets, ranking, decrees, last sign-in date and online status.
- Purpose and legal basis
- Run a shared world: this information is visible to other players, and the portal shows who is online (username, company, avatar). Legal basis: performance of the service.
- Retention
- As long as the account exists. The portal's list of online players is replaced every 30 seconds.
Messaging
- Data
- Private messages, Packet Mail emails (including those exchanged with outside addresses), global chat.
- Purpose and legal basis
- Deliver your messages. They are stored unencrypted on the server, without end-to-end encryption. Legal basis: performance of the service.
- Retention
- Private messages and emails: as long as the account exists, or until both sender and recipient have deleted them. Global chat: last 200 messages, in memory only.
Reports and requests
- Data
- Bug reports (description, browser, screen, optional screenshot); deletion requests (email address, IP address, browser).
- Purpose and legal basis
- Fix game defects; record and handle your request. Legal basis: legitimate interest; legal obligation for requests about your rights.
- Retention
- No automatic deletion yet: erased on simple request.
Storage in your browser
- Data
- pd_last_server cookie (last world visited); local storage: session, profile, language, display and sound settings.
- Purpose and legal basis
- Make the site work. No advertising trackers or audience measurement, so no consent is requested.
- Retention
- Cookie: 1 year. Local storage: until you sign out or clear it.
Recipients and third-party services
Your data is not passed on to anyone else, except in the following cases:
- other players, for the game's public information;
- Esri (ArcGIS) and OpenStreetMap map tiles, and flags from flagcdn.com: your browser downloads them, so these services receive your IP address;
- the live streaming studio: the direct link between players (WebRTC) reveals your IP address to viewers and uses a Google server (STUN);
- the mail servers of your outside correspondents, for the emails you send them;
- the AI assistant you connect yourself to the MCP server with your key: it receives the game data it requests, under its own terms.
Transfers outside the European Union
The server is located in France. Esri, flagcdn.com and Google may process your IP address outside the European Union, notably in the United States, when your browser loads their resources. The AI assistant you choose is governed by its own terms.
Security
Traffic with the site is encrypted with HTTPS. Passwords are never stored: only their hash is (PBKDF2-SHA512, 210,000 iterations, random salt). Private messages and emails are not encrypted on the server.
Your rights
You can request access to your data, its correction, erasure, portability or restriction of processing, and object to processing based on legitimate interest, by writing to contact@vincentbenjamin.fr. You will receive an answer within one month. Account erasure can also be requested from the "Data Deletion" tab.
If you believe your rights are not respected, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL (French data protection authority): www.cnil.fr
