Site Privacy Notice

Mars Game Studios, Türkiye, Kayapa Mh. 194. Sk., Nilüfer, Bursa. Contact: support@starwayonline.com.

Our hosting provider's servers log the IP address, browser details, the page asked for and the time of every request. These logs keep the site secure and help fix errors, and the hosting provider keeps them for a short time.

The lists on the home page and the Rankings page come from the game server and show only what the game already shows to everyone: ship names, clan tags, faction, honor, Arena rating, ship level and invasion times. Account names and e-mail addresses never reach the site.

For cookies, see the Cookie Policy.

Your username, e-mail address, your password (only as a bcrypt hash; we never see the password itself), when you registered and the IP address you registered from, when you confirmed you are 18 or older and accepted the Forum Rules, the avatar you picked, the threads and posts you write and the IP address each post was sent from, the reports you send and any bans on your account.

Your e-mail address is used only for confirmation and password reset e-mails. Nobody on the forum sees it and we don't use it for newsletters.

To open and run your forum account: performing our contract with you (KVKK art. 5/2-c; GDPR art. 6(1)(b)).

To keep the IP addresses of posts: our legal obligation under Turkish Law No. 5651 (KVKK art. 5/2-ç; GDPR art. 6(1)(c)).

To keep the forum safe, stop spam and abuse and review reports: our legitimate interest (KVKK art. 5/2-f; GDPR art. 6(1)(f)).

For Google Analytics: your consent (KVKK art. 5/1 and art. 9 for transfers abroad; GDPR art. 6(1)(a)). Withdraw it any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page.

The company hosting the site and forum (GoDaddy; its servers are outside Türkiye), the company hosting the game servers, Google if you consent (Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC; data may go to the USA), and the authorities where the law requires it. When data leaves Türkiye we use the safeguards KVKK art. 9 provides for. We don't sell your data or share it for advertising.

Forum account: until you delete it. You can delete it any time in the User CP; the account and your e-mail address go at once.

Your posts: they stay on the forum under "Deleted member" after the account goes, so threads still make sense. Write to us if you want particular posts removed.

IP addresses of posts and registration: 2 years, then deleted.

Reports and the moderation log: 1 year.

Cookie consent records: 3 years, as proof of consent; only a random id, your choice and the time are kept, nothing that identifies you.

Under KVKK art. 11 and the GDPR you can ask whether we process your data, get a copy, have it corrected or erased, object to processing, withdraw consent and complain. Write to support@starwayonline.com; we answer within 30 days. You can also complain to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Board or your local data protection authority.

The forum is for people aged 18 and over.
