Privacy & Cookies Policy

1. Data Collection Practices & Identifying Information

Welcome to Chronos Spin. As a leading provider of free-to-play social casino simulations, we place the utmost importance on your privacy. When you access The Astral Conservatory, we collect minimal data required to facilitate your simulated gameplay. This includes anonymous session identifiers, browser type, and interaction metrics with our visual games (such as Orbit Roulette and Nebula Rows). Because we operate entirely without real-money transactions, we do not collect financial information, banking details, or real-world addresses for payment processing. Any voluntary communication through our Comms Relay entails the collection of your provided email address solely for resolution purposes.

2. Cookie Usage Explained: Session vs Persistent

To maintain your virtual Starlight Tokens (SLT) balance and track your progression through the Chronos Tiers, we utilize localized storage technologies and cookies. Session cookies are strictly essential, managing your immediate connection to the gameplay stage and evaporating upon browser closure. Persistent cookies are employed to remember your acceptance of our age gate and preserve your SLT balance across visits. These files contain no personal identifiers, merely cryptographic references to your current simulation state within our universe.

3. Third-Party Integrations for Analytics

To refine the stellar performance of our platform, Chronos Spin partners with secure, industry-standard analytics providers. These third-party entities assist us in understanding traffic flows, identifying which cosmic machines are favored, and ensuring our infrastructure remains stable. They are bound by strict processing agreements and are prohibited from utilizing your anonymized data for any purpose other than improving the Astral Conservatory's technical delivery.

4. User Data Rights under Local Regulations

Depending on your jurisdiction, you possess specific rights regarding your digital footprint. You have the right to request access to the technical data we hold, demand its erasure, or object to specific analytical processing. Because our platform is a no-account, guest-first experience, erasing your data is as simple as clearing your local browser cache and cookies, which will permanently reset your Starlight Token balance and constellation progress. Should you require formal assistance, our support channels remain open.

5. Security Measures to Protect Platform Integrity

We deploy robust encryption protocols (HTTPS/TLS) across all connections to Chronos Spin. Although no real currency is involved, protecting the integrity of your simulation is critical to preventing exploitation of our virtual economy. Our servers are housed in secure data centers with continuous heuristic monitoring to thwart unauthorized access or manipulation of game mechanics.

6. Updates to Policy and Notification Procedures

The universe is ever-expanding, and so too may our policies evolve. When substantial alterations are made to our data processing practices, an announcement will be broadcast within the platform UI, typically taking the form of an overlay notification requiring acknowledgment before continued play. We encourage interstellar travelers to review this document periodically.

7. Opt-out Instructions for Non-Essential Tracking

If you prefer to traverse the Conservatory without contributing to our structural analytics, you may disable non-essential cookies via your browser settings. Please note that disabling localized storage entirely will severely impact your ability to retain Starlight Tokens between sessions, forcing a reset upon each return.

8. Data Retention Timelines

Analytical data is aggregated and anonymized immediately upon collection, retained only as long as necessary to identify long-term structural trends (typically 12 to 24 months). Session and persistent local data driving your gameplay experience remain on your device until manually cleared or until they naturally expire according to standard browser lifecycles.
