1. Who We Are

Boardquest: Tales of Liria is developed and published by Ramezware ("we", "us", "our"). This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you create an account, use our online multiplayer services, or visit our website.

2. Information We Collect

Account Registration

When you sign up for Boardquest online services, we collect:

  • Username — your chosen display name, visible on the public ladder and in multiplayer lobbies.
  • Email address — used for account verification and critical service communications.
  • Password — stored in hashed form; we never store or have access to your plaintext password.

Gameplay Data

When you play online matches, we automatically record:

  • Match results (wins, losses, ladder score changes).
  • Game settings (selected map, faction, team, game mode).
  • Timestamps (when a match was created and when it ended).

Technical Data

Our servers may log:

  • IP address (for connection management and abuse prevention).
  • Game client version.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain multiplayer game services and the competitive ladder.
  • Display public rankings, match history, and player statistics.
  • Authenticate your account and secure your sessions.
  • Prevent cheating, abuse, and unauthorised access.
  • Improve game balance, features, and server performance.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Public Information

By creating an account, you agree that your username, ladder ranking, match results, and match history are publicly visible on the Boardquest website and through our API. If you do not want this information displayed, do not create an account.

5. Data Sharing

We may share your data only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers — hosting and infrastructure partners (e.g. Heroku) that process data on our behalf under appropriate agreements.
  • Legal requirements — if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
  • Safety — to protect the rights, safety, or property of Ramezware, our players, or the public.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data and match history for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, though anonymised gameplay statistics may be retained for ladder integrity.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including password hashing, encrypted connections (HTTPS/WSS), and token-based authentication. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us on our Discord server or by email at the address below.

9. Children

Boardquest online services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
