Privacy Policy

Last updated November 14, 2026

This policy explains what Galcon collects when you play, why, and what happens when you delete your account. It also covers the Galcon news emails, if you sign up for them. Questions: support@galcon.com.

Age

You must be 13 or older to play Galcon. Children under 13 may not play or create an account. An account made by a child under 13 should be deleted from inside the game; see Delete your account.

What we collect

Galcon accounts need only an alias and a password. Playing never asks for your email address, real name, phone number, location, contacts or payment details. You can also play as a guest, which creates an account with a generated alias and no password.

For each account the server stores:

• Your alias, and when you last changed it.
• Your password, stored only as a one-way bcrypt hash, never in readable form.
• A one-way hash of your recovery code, if you create one. Guests have a hashed guest sign-in token instead of a password.
• When you last signed in.
• Sign-in sessions: a hashed sign-in token and a random device ID for each device, with when the session was created and last used. The device ID is a random value made by the game. It is not a hardware or advertising identifier.
• Game data: your settings and cosmetics, unlocked items, ranks and win/loss records, campaign, challenge and training scores, galaxy progress, your friend, mute and block lists, tournaments you create, and tournament match results.

The game also saves your settings and sign-in details on your own device so you stay signed in.

IP addresses

The game server uses your IP address while you sign in, briefly and only in memory, to rate-limit sign-in attempts and prevent abuse. It is not saved to your account or any database. Server error logs, used only to diagnose problems, may include the network address of a connection that failed.

What other players can see

Galcon is a multiplayer game. Your alias, tag, cosmetics, gameplay, rankings, leaderboard scores, tournament results and public chat are visible to other players.

Chat and reports

Chat passes through our servers. Each room keeps only its most recent chat lines, in server memory, so that a report can include the conversation around it. That chat is not written to disk and is gone when the room closes or the server restarts.

When you report a player or a chat line, the report and the room's recent chat are kept for review, in server memory, until the server restarts; deleting an account does not withdraw reports it made or received before then. Chat and reports may be reviewed, including by automated systems, to enforce the rules of conduct.

How we use your data

Only to run the game: signing you in, matchmaking and multiplayer, rankings and leaderboards, saving your progress, keeping chat safe, preventing cheating and abuse, and fixing problems.

No ads, no tracking, no selling

Galcon shows no ads and contains no advertising, analytics or tracking software. We do not sell or share your data with anyone for advertising or marketing.

Galcon news emails

Galcon news is an optional mailing list, separate from your game account. If you sign up with the sign-up form, we keep your email address and when you signed up and confirmed, and use them only to send Galcon news: launches, big updates and events.

The list is run by Brevo, which stores the list and sends the emails for us. Brevo records when a news email is opened and which of its links are clicked; we use that only to see whether the emails are reaching people. The sign-up form uses Google reCAPTCHA to keep bots off the list, which sends Google information about your browser and how you use the page.

Every news email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing stops them straight away. To have your address removed from the list completely, email support@galcon.com from that address.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time by signing in to it in the game and going to Settings, Account, Delete Account. Deletion is immediate and permanent and removes the data listed above. Accounts have no email on file, so support cannot delete or verify accounts. See Delete your account for the steps and details.

Galcon 2 and forum accounts are separate from Galcon accounts. To delete one, email support@galcon.com with your Galcon 2 name and we'll delete it for you.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
