About
Vega (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a non-profit community Ultima Online shard.
We respect player privacy and intentionally limit data collection to the absolute minimum required for gameplay.
This Privacy Policy explains what information is handled when you create an account or access the shard.
Vega is a
free, non-commercial community project.
We do not sell products, run advertising, or monetize user data.
All technical data processing is strictly limited to account functionality and server stability.
Information We Store
When you register an account, we store only the minimum information required to allow gameplay:
•
Username – your chosen in-game account name
•
Password – stored as a salted cryptographic hash (never in plain text)
•
Recovery Token – generated at registration and shown once to the user for optional account recovery
We do
not collect or store email addresses, real names, physical addresses, payment information, or other personal identifiers.
IP Addresses
Vega does
not store or retain real user IP addresses.
Gameplay connections are handled through proxy infrastructure provided by ClassicUO Web.
The shard only receives the proxy IP address and does not have access to the player's real IP.
IP addresses are not stored in our database and are not used for tracking or profiling.
Google reCAPTCHA
Our registration form is protected by
Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse.
reCAPTCHA may process technical information such as IP address and browser data for security purposes.
This processing is performed by Google and is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
ClassicUO Web
Vega uses ClassicUO Web proxy infrastructure to provide browser-based gameplay.
Any technical data handled by ClassicUO Web is outside the direct control of Vega.
Please consult ClassicUO documentation for details on their infrastructure.
Account Deletion
You may request deletion of your account at any time. Deletion permanently removes:
• Your username and account record
• Your password hash and salt
• Your recovery token
• All associated characters and in-game data
To request deletion, contact us via our Discord server.
Data Minimization
Vega is designed around the principle of data minimization.
We intentionally avoid collecting real-world identifying information.
Accounts are pseudonymous and tied only to in-game identifiers chosen by the player.
Security
We implement reasonable technical safeguards to protect stored account data.
However, no online system can guarantee absolute security.
