Protection Policy Welcome aboard Star Trek™ Timelines, where past, present, and future collide in one epic journey. As you command starships and unite legendary crews across timelines, your privacy and data security travel right alongside you at warp speed. This Protection Policy outlines how we protect your information, enforce fairness, and safeguard your experience in the vast digital galaxy of Star Trek™ Timelines. 1. Data We Collect To ensure optimal performance and continuity across time and space, we may collect: Basic account details such as usernames, unique player IDs, and associated platform credentials. Device and system information used to optimize game performance and compatibility. Gameplay data, including character progression, in-game purchases, mission outcomes, and user preferences. Optional support or survey responses to help us improve your experience. We only collect what we need to make your voyage smooth, secure, and customized. 2. Data Security and Transmission Your personal data is protected with enterprise-grade security protocols: All data transfers are encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS technologies. Sensitive information is stored using access-controlled systems and secure data architecture. We monitor our networks and servers in real-time to prevent unauthorized access, breaches, or corruption. Security isn’t optional — it’s part of our prime directive. 3. Account Protection Your captain’s log and game history are yours alone: Login credentials are protected with secure encryption and never stored in plain text. Multi-factor authentication may be supported on partner platforms for enhanced account safety. We recommend using strong, unique passwords and never sharing your credentials with others. Suspicious login activity is monitored, and repeated unauthorized attempts may trigger protective account measures. 4. Anti-Cheat and Fair Play Enforcement Across the stars, honor matters. We maintain a fair experience for all players through: Server-side validation of in-game actions to detect manipulation, automation, or exploit use. Detection systems that flag behavior inconsistent with normal gameplay (e.g., speed hacks or unauthorized item generation). Swift enforcement against cheaters, including suspensions, bans, or content removal. Cheating disrupts the timeline — and that’s a violation we take seriously. 5. In-Game Transactions and Economic Security For purchases of time crystals, crew slots, or exclusive content: All transactions are routed through secure, platform-verified payment systems (e.g., App Store, Google Play, Steam). We never store payment card information on our servers. Refund abuse, currency manipulation, or exploitative behavior involving purchases may result in account restrictions. Your intergalactic investments are protected by both technology and policy. 6. Communication and Conduct Players of all ranks and species are expected to engage respectfully: In-game chat, fleet messages, and player interactions must remain free from hate speech, spam, or personal attacks. Moderation tools and reporting systems are in place to enforce community standards. Repeated violations of communication policies may lead to restricted access or temporary suspension. Unity across timelines begins with respectful communication. 7. Device Permissions and Privacy We request only the permissions necessary to operate Star Trek™ Timelines effectively: Permissions may include access to storage (for saving progress), notifications (for mission updates), or network status. No microphone, camera, or location data is collected without your explicit consent. Any optional permissions are clearly explained and never activated without your approval. Your privacy is never treated as optional cargo. 8. Server Reliability and System Integrity We maintain a robust infrastructure to keep your missions uninterrupted: Servers are equipped with real-time monitoring, automated recovery, and scalable architecture. DDoS protection and intrusion detection systems defend against threats across sectors. Scheduled maintenance is performed to ensure system health and stability. 9. Changes to the Protection Policy Just as timelines shift, so too may our policies: We reserve the right to modify this policy in response to evolving features, technologies, or regulations. Updates will be clearly posted within the game or website. Continued use of Star Trek™ Timelines signifies agreement with the most current version of this policy.
