Privacy Policy

Effective 2 October 2026

The short version: we collect only what we need to run your account and the game. We never sell, rent or share your email address, we don't show ads, and we don't use tracking or analytics cookies.

This policy explains what information Revifact ("we", "us") collects when you use revifact.com and play the game, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have any questions, contact us at support@revifact.com.

Information we collect

Account information you give us

Handle: your player name, which is public.
Email address: private. See "How we use your email" below.
Password: we never store your password itself. We store only a salted, one-way scrypt hash of it, so nobody, including us, can read your password.

Information created as you play

Your empires and progress in each game world, game statistics, awards, player level and flag.
Clan and alliance membership, and your ignore and contact lists.
The date you joined and when you were last online.
Chat messages. Messages you send in channels, games, clans or alliances are delivered to the other players in that conversation. Private messages ("tells") go only to the player you send them to. The server keeps a short recent history of channel messages in memory so people who join can see the conversation. This history is not saved to our database and is cleared whenever the server restarts.
Moderation records. If a staff member silences, kicks or bans an account, we keep a record of that action and the reason given.

Information stored in your browser

A login token in your browser's local storage, so you stay signed in, and your game and display settings (sound, map options, panel layout). These stay on your device. You can clear them at any time by logging out or clearing your browser's site data.
We don't use advertising, analytics or third-party tracking cookies. Our fonts, graphics and sounds are served from our own server, so loading the game doesn't contact other companies.

Technical information

Like any website, our server receives your IP address when you connect. We may keep it in short-lived server logs to keep the service secure and to stop abuse, such as spam or attacks. These logs are deleted within 30 days.

How we use your email

We use your email address only to:

reply when you contact us for support;
help you recover or secure your account;
tell you about important changes to your account, the service or this policy.

We never sell, rent, trade or share your email address with anyone for marketing, and it is never shown to other players. We won't send you marketing emails unless you choose to receive them.

How we use your information

To create and run your account and let you log in.
To run the game: your empire, battles, chat, clans, alliances, awards and statistics.
To keep the game fair and safe, including moderating chat and preventing cheating and abuse.
To fix problems and improve the game.

What other players can see

Other players can see your handle, flag, awards, player level, the stats shown on your player profile, when you joined, whether you're online and which game you're in, your clan, and anything you write in public or group chat. They can never see your email address or password.

Who we share information with

Our hosting provider (Vultr) runs the server that stores the game's data on our behalf. They may not use it for their own purposes.
The law: we may disclose information if the law requires it, or if it is needed to protect the safety of our players or others.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.

How long we keep it

We keep your account information for as long as your account exists. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your personal information, including your handle, email and password hash, from the live database. Copies in our backups are removed as those backups expire, within 30 days. We may keep a record of moderation actions where we need it to stop abuse.

Security

Passwords are stored only as salted scrypt hashes. The site is served over HTTPS, so data travelling between your browser and our server is encrypted, and access to the server is restricted. No service can promise perfect security, but we work to protect your information.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to:

tell you what personal information we hold about you and give you a copy;
correct it, for example by changing your email address;
delete your account and personal information.

Email support@revifact.com from the address on your account, and we'll reply within 30 days. Depending on where you live, for example the UK, the EU or California, you may have further rights under local law, including the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Children

Revifact is not intended for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we make important changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top and announce the change in the game lobby. We will also let you know by email when the change affects how we use your email address.
