Privacy Policy

Effective July 2, 2026 · Applies to vellstrike.com, the Vellstrike launcher, and the Vellstrike game (together, "the Service").
1. What we collect
  • Account: username, display name, date of birth (for age verification), and your password — stored only as a secure hash, never in plain text. Optional: email and social handles you choose to add.
  • Gameplay: match results and statistics (wins, kills, damage), rewards, and champion choices.
  • Social: your friends list and direct messages (messages are stored on our server so they sync between the game, launcher, and website).
  • Reports: bug reports you submit, attached to your account so we can follow up.
  • Technical: standard web-server logs (IP address, request time) and a session token kept in your browser's local storage to keep you signed in.
2. What we never do
  • No selling or renting your data. Ever.
  • No advertising networks.
  • No third-party analytics or trackers. This site sets no tracking cookies — the only thing stored in your browser is your own session.
3. How we use your information
To run the Service: operate your account, record matches, show leaderboards (your display name and match stats are visible to other players), deliver chat and friends features, respond to bug reports, enforce the Terms, and keep the Service secure. That's the whole list.
4. Where it lives
Data is stored on our servers in the United States and transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Infrastructure providers (server hosting, DNS/proxy) process traffic on our behalf as part of simply operating a website.
5. Sharing
We don't share your personal information with third parties, except: infrastructure providers named above, if required by law, or to protect the Service and its players (e.g., investigating abuse).
6. Retention
We keep your data while your account exists. Playtest data (stats, match history) may be wiped during development — wipes are announced in the patch notes. Server logs rotate automatically. Deleted accounts are removed from the active database.
7. Children
The Service is not directed at children under 13, and account creation requires a date of birth showing age 13 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 — if we learn we have, we will delete it. Parents or guardians who believe a child under 13 has an account can contact us at [email protected] and we will remove it.
8. Your choices
  • Edit your profile (email, socials, portrait) any time from your dashboard.
  • Chat messages are stored to provide the service — please don't share sensitive personal information in chat.
  • Request a copy or deletion of your account data: [email protected]. Deletion requests are honored within 30 days.
9. Changes & contact
Updates to this policy are posted here with a new effective date, and material changes are noted in the patch notes. Questions: [email protected].
