Privacy policy
Effective 25 October 2026. We collect only what the game needs to work and to be protected from abuse. We don't sell data, and there are no ads or third-party analytics.
Who is responsible
The data controller is MG Group, owner of the eightbit.studio brand. Contact: kontakt@meshmud.pl.
What we keep
| Data | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Account: nick, SSH public key or a passphrase hash (Argon2id; we never know the passphrase), language, game state (room, items, achievements), account creation and last visit dates. | To run the game and remember your progress (GDPR art. 6(1)(b)). | Until the account is deleted. |
| In-game event log: nick, room, time and type of event (join, leave, achievement, trade). | Improving the game and detecting abuse (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)). | 90 days. |
| Commands the game did not understand (up to 64 characters), with nick and time. | Teaching the parser new words (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)). | 30 days. |
| Connection data: IP address, time, nick, login result. | Security: connection limits, blocking bots and password guessing (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)). | In-memory counters up to 24 hours, server logs up to 30 days. |

What you “say” in the game goes to the players in the same room and is not stored.
What we don't do
This site uses no cookies, tracking pixels or analytics. Fonts are served from our own server, so your browser never talks to a third party. The game never asks for your email, name or phone number.
Where the data lives
The website runs on a server in Poland. The game server currently runs in an IONOS data centre in the United States, so game data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, on the basis of the European Commission's standard contractual clauses in our agreement with the provider.
Your rights
You can delete your account yourself, any time: type delete account in the game and confirm with your nick. The account, your progress and every game log entry under your nick are gone at once, in one operation, and the nick returns to the pool.
You can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and object to processing based on our legitimate interest. Write to kontakt@meshmud.pl with your nick. Since the game doesn't know your email, we'll ask you to prove the account is yours, for example by typing a code we send you into the game. You can also complain to the Polish data protection authority (Prezes UODO).
Children
The game is not intended for anyone under 16.
Changes
If we change these rules, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
