Privacy Policy

Sector's Edge is developed and owned by Vercidium, which is a registered Australian Business. This privacy policy will explain how our Company uses the data we collect from you when you play the game.

What data do we collect?

When starting the game, you are prompted to join our mailing list by entering your email address. This is an optional step.

We collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address and "fingerprint" data used to uniquely identify you, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our anti-cheat system. This is statistical data about our users patterns and does not identify any individual.

In accordance with the End-User License Agreement of Sector's Edge, we may collect and analyse modules and/or code loaded into the Software for anti-cheat and security analysis.

How do we collect your data?

Your data is sent to our servers via the Sector's Edge executable.

How will we use your data?

We collect your email so that we can email you when we launch on Steam and reach other important milestones.

Your Steam ID and fingerprint data are used to uniquely identify you.

Modules that are loaded into the executable are collected and analysed for the purpose of improving our anti-cheat and security systems.

How do we store your data?

We securely store your data in a private backend server(s).

What are your data protection rights?

We want to ensure that you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:

• The right to access - you have the right to request Vercidium for copies of your personal data.
• The right to rectify - you have the right to request Vercidium to correct any personal data that you believe is innaccurate. You also have the right to request Vercidium to complete personal data that you believe is incomplete.
• The right to erasure - you have the right to request that Vercidium erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to restrict processing - you have the right to request that Vercidium restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to object to processing - you have the right to object to Vercidium's processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to data portability - you have the right to request that Vercidium transfer the personal data that we have collected to another organisation, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

Please note that 'personal data' does not include data analysed by our anti-cheat and security systems, such as IP address, fingerprint data, modules and/or code. This data is used to determine correlations between new and existing players and to determine if one player is using means to obtain an unfair advantage over other players or using means that impact the gameplay experience of other players.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at our email: admin [at] vercidium [dot] com.
