Privacy notice
1. Controller and contact details
The controller of the data processed by cronoria.it and the Cronoria game service is Marco Bertuccio, operating as a private individual. Contact: info@cronoria.it. This notice is provided under Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
2. Data processed and purposes
- Account and game: account name, email, hashed password, character deletion code, characters, progress, items and game transactions. These are used to create and manage your account, provide the beta and assist with recovery requests. An email address is required for new registrations. Password recovery requires the account name, the email already linked to it and access to that inbox: we send a random, single-use link valid for 30 minutes. We retain only the token fingerprint, its expiry and the technical data needed to limit abuse; the token is replaced by the next permitted request. Recovery does not subscribe you to the newsletter or change your email. Changing a password requires the current one. After a change, we send a notification to the linked email; technical sending data is deleted after 7 days. Password change attempts are limited by account and network address. Accounts without an email require support and an ownership check.
- Registration choices: date and version of the privacy notice and terms accepted, and a separate newsletter choice. We do not reconstruct these choices for accounts created before this version.
- Connection and security: IP address, access times, technical data needed for the connection, errors and logs of transactions such as trades, Yang and items. These are used for operation, diagnostics and investigating abuse, not advertising.
- Support: sender address and information you choose to send us by email or in reports. Do not send passwords, deletion codes, identity documents or unnecessary sensitive information.
- Beta metrics: since 25 October 2026, we record character ID, date, level, class and skill path, map, cumulative online minutes (including breaks and AFK), generated drops, Yang movements and balance, book readings, upgrades and Metin and boss kills. These are used to compare testers’ progression and balance the game. The dedicated log contains no passwords, emails, IP addresses or chat texts. Analysis is restricted to the two authorised administrators and access is logged. Events can be viewed for 90 days and are removed by the periodic process; we do not reconstruct missing events from before activation.
- Download statistics: transfer requests, date, result and amount of data. The dedicated count does not retain IP addresses, user agents or visitor identifiers and does not identify unique individuals.
3. In-game private messages
Private messages sent in the game are recorded and stored encrypted for 7 days. This is not end-to-end encryption: the two authorised administrators can access them to investigate reports, fraud and abuse. Every access is logged. Do not use the game to communicate confidential or sensitive information.
Access must be restricted to messages relevant to the investigation and to authorised administrators. Reading out of curiosity, disclosure or use for purposes unrelated to handling reports is not permitted.
4. Legal bases and required data
Management of accounts, progress and support requests is based on performance of the requested service and pre-contractual measures (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Proportionate security, diagnostic and abuse-investigation activities are based on the legitimate interest in protecting the service and its users (Article 6(1)(f)), balanced against their rights. Legal obligations, where applicable, are based on Article 6(1)(c).
A new account cannot be created without credentials, an email address and essential technical data. Existing accounts continue to work without being subscribed to the newsletter. Reading the notice does not authorise any and all processing: promotional consent is separate and optional.
Optional newsletter
If you tick the dedicated checkbox, we record your request to receive Cronoria news, events and updates on the basis of consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 130 of the Italian Privacy Code). Refusing does not prevent registration or restrict the game. The checkbox is not preselected. Promotional emails are not yet active: before starting them, we will also require confirmation that you own the address. No consent is attributed to existing accounts.
You can withdraw your choice free of charge by writing to info@cronoria.it from the relevant address; before newsletters are sent, a direct unsubscribe option must also be available in each message. Withdrawal does not affect your account or the lawfulness of previous processing. The email remains linked to your account for service purposes separate from the newsletter.
The newsletter request remains pending confirmation and is not a mailing list ready for campaigns. It is retained until withdrawal, account deletion or review at the end of the beta; minimal evidence of the choice and withdrawal may be retained if necessary for a specific dispute. There is no sharing with other advertisers and no tracking pixel.
5. Retention
- Accounts, characters and progress: for the lifetime of the beta account, until deletion or closure/reset of the environment. To delete the entire account, contact the controller: deleting a character in the client does not automatically delete the account.
- Technical and game logs: during the beta for diagnostics, reconstructing transactions and handling disputes. They are reviewed when the account or beta closes; only data needed for a specific dispute or applicable obligation may be retained longer, with use restricted to that purpose. General automatic deletion of all logs is not active.
- Private messages: accessible for at most 7 days after sending, then excluded from viewing and deleted by the periodic process. Messages and their key are not included in ordinary project backups.
- Staff panel access and viewing log: 90-day window, cleaned when the service starts. Dedicated download metrics: 90-day window.
- Support: until the request and any related disputes are resolved; data no longer needed is deleted. Ordinary backups rotate across two daily generations: deletion from the service does not instantly remove all older copies.
6. Recipients and external services
Data is accessible to the controller and authorised staff within their respective duties, necessary technical providers and, where required by law, competent authorities. We use Netcup for infrastructure and Register.it for the domain and email. We do not sell players’ data.
The Discord connection is a normal link: the website does not embed a Discord widget. By opening it, you choose to use an external service subject to its own privacy notice, including any processing outside the European Economic Area. We do not add advertising trackers or marketing services to the website.
7. Your rights
You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction and, where applicable, data portability. You may object to processing based on legitimate interest. Write to info@cronoria.it, stating your account name and request, without sending your password. We will verify identity proportionately. We normally respond within one month, subject to the extensions permitted by the GDPR.
You may lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority or the competent authority. If data is necessary for a dispute or legal obligation, we will explain any limit on deletion.
8. Security and updates
We apply security measures and restricted access, but no system is risk-free. Automated access and anti-abuse controls are not advertising profiling; you may ask the staff to review a restriction or sanction. Changes to this notice will be published with a new date; significant changes will be communicated to affected users.
Beta terms
Participation and accounts
Cronoria is a beta/test environment operated by Marco Bertuccio, who can be contacted at info@cronoria.it. Account creation and beta participation are free. By registering, you accept these terms and the game rules, which are separate from the data processing notice.
Use credentials different from other services, keep your deletion code safe and do not share your account. The staff will never ask for your password. You can reset it through email recovery using a single-use link. Existing game sessions are not disconnected automatically. Without access to the linked email, support requests require an ownership check.
Testing, updates and progress
Content, balance and availability may change. Maintenance, errors, rollbacks and partial or complete resets of accounts or progress are possible. Transfer of beta results to production is not guaranteed. In-game items and currencies are not money and do not confer any right to conversion into money.
Use the official launcher and complete updates before joining. Cheats, bots, client manipulation, bug exploitation or interference with the service or other players are not permitted. Report issues without using them to gain advantages.
Moderation and disputes
In the event of violations or specific security needs, staff may temporarily restrict access, suspend accounts and correct illegitimate transactions or advantages. Measures must be proportionate to the case. You may request a review at info@cronoria.it with your account name and the circumstances; do not publish passwords or other users’ personal data.
Payments and rights
Real purchases are not active on the beta website. Any VIP status assigned for tests is not a paid subscription. Before an item shop is activated, specific conditions, prices, operation, duration and applicable rights will be published: these terms do not authorise charges or automatic renewals.
The Support us — Become part of Cronoria section presents Founder Packages and an external link for donations through PayPal. Availability, support arrangements and rewards must be agreed with staff on the official Discord. For NPC or boss dedications, availability and the name must be approved before purchase. Donations are completed on PayPal; the website does not automatically grant rewards following payment.
Mandatory legal rights remain unaffected; these terms do not exclude liabilities that cannot legally be excluded. Significant changes will be communicated to affected users. To stop participating and request account deletion, use the contact listed in the privacy policy.
Game rules
- Respect: no threats, harassment, discrimination, disclosure of personal data or impersonation of staff.
- Fair play: no bots, cheats, duplication, unlawful trading, scams or deliberate exploitation of anomalies.
- Security: do not share deceptive links, malware or credential requests. Do not try to access other people’s accounts or systems.
- Reports: include nickname, time, channel and what happened; send relevant evidence without sensitive data. Use info@cronoria.it for confidential details rather than public channels.
- Cooperation: do not repeat a harmful bug to demonstrate it. If you receive abnormal items or Yang, notify staff and do not use or transfer them.
Investigations use the available logs and the access rules described in the privacy notice. Contact the operator for explanations and disputes; preservation of progress is not guaranteed in a test environment.
