Effective Date: 17 September 2026
This Privacy Policy dictates how RICCHAI SERVICES LTD ("we," "our," or "us") collects, secures, and processes personal information for the browser-based game "Race to the Stars" and its corresponding website at racetothestars.org.
Operating in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, we act as the data controller for the information detailed in this document. This policy operates in conjunction with our Terms of Service.
To facilitate seamless gameplay, secure multiplayer connections, and Premium Store transactions, we gather specific categories of data.
When you register, we collect your designated username, email address, first name, last name, and geographic location (country).
If you purchase in-game currencies (such as Credits, Stardust, or Plasma) or items (like Card Packs and Skins), we record your billing address, city, postal code, and transaction history. Full credit card data is securely routed directly to our licensed Payment Service Provider, Katarun, and is never captured or stored on our own servers.
We continuously track your in-game activities to power our cloud saves. This includes your deck configurations, card collection inventory, XP progression, daily quest status, campaign milestones, and overall match history.
Because the Game runs directly in your browser and utilizes WebRTC for peer-to-peer multiplayer battles, we collect technical parameters such as your IP address, browser type, device specifications, and network latency metrics.
Your personal data is strictly utilized for the following operational and legal purposes:
We process your account, technical, and gameplay data to deliver the core game experience. This encompasses maintaining your cloud saves, matching you with opponents in real-time PvP, and delivering digital goods purchased through the Premium Store.
We maintain billing histories and transaction logs to satisfy UK accounting standards, tax obligations, and anti-money laundering regulations.
We monitor match logs and technical metrics to balance game mechanics, optimize server stability, and enforce our fair play rules. This includes utilizing automated systems to detect unauthorized scripts, macros, or intentional network manipulation (lag switching).
Where you have actively opted in, we use your email address to send promotional updates or tournament announcements. You maintain the right to withdraw this marketing consent at any time without affecting your gameplay access.
We absolutely do not sell, rent, or trade your personal profile to external advertising agencies. Data is only shared with trusted third parties required to run the Game:
Providers such as Katarun receive your billing details strictly to securely authorize transactions and prevent fraudulent chargebacks.
Secure cloud hosting services hold your encrypted account data, deck builds, and progression files to ensure you can play seamlessly across different devices.
We will disclose necessary records to law enforcement or regulatory bodies if mandated by a binding UK court order or to actively protect our platform from cyberattacks and financial fraud.
While RICCHAI SERVICES LTD is headquartered in the United Kingdom, certain server hosts or payment gateways may process data in regions outside the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA). In such instances, we enforce strict legal safeguards, utilizing the UK Addendum to the Standard Contractual Clauses to guarantee your data receives equivalent protection.
We actively store your gameplay and profile data for the lifespan of your account to ensure your progress is never lost.
If you submit an account deletion request, your profile and game states will be permanently erased or irreversibly anonymized within 30 days. Please note that statutory regulations require us to retain basic financial records and transaction receipts for up to six years, overriding standard deletion requests for those specific documents.
Under UK data protection laws, you retain explicit control over your personal data. You possess the right to:

We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect evolving game mechanics, new Premium Store features, or shifting regulatory requirements. Material changes will be communicated via an in-game alert or a direct email prior to taking effect. The updated date will always be displayed at the top of this document.
