🌀💜 Privacy Policy 🤖🕯️
Republic Citizen Passport — Privacy Policy (Web Edition v1.0 “Lanterns Up”)
Effective: October 30, 2025 CE • October 30, 0001 MC
Project: Republic Citizen Passport (“RCP”, “we”, “our”).
Nature: Community-made fan initiative; not affiliated with Hello Games or the creators of No Man’s Sky. All trademarks belong to their owners.
Motto: Lanterns up. Name with care. 💜
0) Purpose & Vision
RCP is a gentle, values-first social layer—a citizen service and public directory hosted on our site—that helps Travellers meet through shared virtues, publish kindness-driven missions, and credit each other’s discoveries. It is designed as a game within the game without surveillance, ads, dark patterns, or extractive data flows. This policy explains what we collect, why, where it lives, how long we keep it, how to control it, and how we keep it safe.
1) Scope
This policy covers everything processed through the Republic website and pages (e.g., Citizen Directory, Factions, Frigates, Star Systems, Memory Modules, Chronicle posts, petitions, and contact forms). If you follow a link to third-party platforms (e.g., social media, forums, cloud storage, payment providers), their policies apply to your use there.
2) Roles & Responsibility
You (Citizen) — choose what to submit and what to make public; you may request edits or removal.
RCP Maintainers — publish the site, review submissions, moderate public spaces, and respond to privacy requests.
Hosting Platform — our site is hosted on a mainstream blog/web platform (e.g., Blogger/Google). That platform may set cookies and create server logs for security, abuse-prevention, and aggregate metrics under its own privacy policy. We do not control those systems but will describe what they typically collect (see §10).
3) Principles (The Candle Oath)
Consent-First: nothing is posted to the public Citizen Directory or Chronicle unless you submit it for publication.
Data Minimization: we ask only for what the feature needs; optional fields are clearly marked.
Human-Readable: wherever possible, information appears as plain text on your public card or as clearly labeled form fields.
No Surveillance: we do not run ad tech, fingerprinting, or cross-site trackers.
Transparency: visible stamps (runes) for promises; clear moderation status; change logs for major policy edits.
Youth-Safe: public features are for explorers 13+ (or your jurisdiction’s digital consent age).
Credit & Provenance: we encourage recording discoverers and helpers; no “meme theft,” no erasure of effort.
Repair Over Spectacle: if harm happens, we fix quietly and kindly; we do not shame.
4) What We Collect (by feature)
All directory and chronicle fields are optional unless marked required. Anything you provide becomes public once published.
4.1 Citizen Directory Entry (Public)
Identity: Display name or rune, optional pronouns, House affiliation(s).
Realm Info: Region/time zone (coarse), preferred play platform, optional portal hub or glyphs.
Contact Preference: A masked email, contact form link, social handle, or “contact via Embassy/Petition.”
Stamps (≤42 chars): PATH/JOURNEY/ODYSSEY runes that describe your promise or play style.
Lore Tags: Favorite virtues/visions, role (e.g., Waykeeper, Gardenwright), and short bio.
Links you choose to share: e.g., public catalog, base tour, or streaming channel.
Caution: Do not include sensitive information (legal names, precise addresses, phone numbers, government IDs). Use coarse regions and role-play identifiers.
4.2 Discovery & Chronicle Submissions (Public if Published)
System/planet names, virtues, mineral currency boards, assets (ships/tools/freighters/frigates), settlement notes, portal inscriptions, screenshots you attach, and provenance lines (discoverer, helpers, date).
These appear in posts/pages we host, sometimes with curator notes.
4.3 Petitions, Embassy Charters, Moderation Queue (Private until Published)
Text you submit for review, plus any evidence screenshots. Stored as draft content visible only to maintainers until approved or declined.
4.4 Contact & Takedown Requests (Private)
Messages sent through our contact form or inbox: your name (or alias), email, and the content of your request.
4.5 Server-Side Technical Data (Platform-Provided)
The hosting platform may collect IP addresses, device/browser details, timestamps, referrers, and anti-abuse signals in standard server logs. We access only aggregate dashboards necessary for abuse prevention and site health. We do not enrich, re-sell, or combine these with your profile.
5) Why We Collect It (Purposes)
Directory & Discovery: to publish your profile, promises, and maps so other citizens can find, learn from, and credit you.
Community Coordination: to charter Embassies, announce events/convoys, and match citizens by virtues and Houses.
Safety & Abuse Prevention: to protect the site from spam and attacks; to enforce community standards.
Support & Takedowns: to respond to questions and removal requests.
Transparency: to maintain human-readable change logs for policy updates.
We do not sell your data, run ads, or trade contact lists. We do not profile individuals for advertising or ranking.
6) Legal Bases (where applicable)
Consent: directory publication, discovery posts, screenshots, and any public contact info.
Legitimate Interests: site security and anti-abuse, minimal analytics required by the host.
Contract: when you ask us to publish or remove content and we process it to deliver the service.
7) Where Your Data Lives
On-Site Pages/Posts: published directory entries and discovery posts live on the Republic website. They are indexable by search engines.
Drafts/Moderation: unpublished submissions live in the website’s private draft area accessible only to maintainers.
Contact Inbox: email or form messages are stored in the provider’s mailbox/form system used by maintainers.
No Dropbox or local directory structure is required or used by RCP Web Edition.
8) Retention
Public entries remain online until you request removal, the page is archived, or the site is sunset.
Drafts/declined submissions may be deleted periodically or retained for moderation records (typically ≤ 180 days) unless a dispute requires longer.
Contact emails are kept for as long as necessary to resolve the request (typically ≤ 1 year), then archived or deleted.
Note: Search engine caches and web archives may retain copies outside our control after removal; we can provide guidance on separate takedown processes.
9) Your Controls & Rights
Edit/Unpublish: request changes or removal of your directory entry or discovery post at any time.
Access/Export: we can send you a copy of your published entry in plain text.
Withdraw Consent: ask us to remove contact info or disable comments on your entry.
Report Harm: request redaction of doxxing, harassment, or sensitive content.
Appeal: if a submission is declined or edited for safety, you may petition an Embassy steward for review.
Requests are honored promptly and respectfully. Identity verification may be required for safety.
10) Cookies, Logs & Third-Party Services
Our host (e.g., Blogger/Google) may set necessary cookies for security and language preferences and may provide aggregate metrics (page views, referrers, geography at a coarse level). We do not add advertising cookies.
Embedded media (e.g., YouTube) may set their own cookies when you play content; we mark embeds where possible.
Links to social networks or external forms are subject to those sites’ policies.
11) Security
Maintainer accounts use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.
Least-privilege roles are applied for editors vs. admins.
Public forms are protected with rate-limits and anti-spam tools.
We never request your account passwords for game services or platforms.
12) Children’s Privacy
RCP is for citizens 13+ (or your local digital consent age). Public submissions should be wholesome, non-violent, and respectful. If you believe a minor’s sensitive info appears on our site, contact us for immediate removal.
13) Community Standards (Safety)
Name with care. No slurs, harassment, doxxing, sexual content involving minors, or targeted cruelty.
Credit always. Attribute discoverers and helpers on catalogs and signs.
Low-impact play. Keep portal plazas clear; practice “Quiet Mine” ethics.
Repair culture. If you cause harm, help fix it. If you see harm, notify stewards.
Violations may result in edits, removals, or participation limits. Repeated abuse may be blocked at the platform level.
14) Automated Decisions
We do not run recommendation scores or hidden reputation systems. Light validation (e.g., rune length ≤ 42, duplicate name checks) is functional and explainable.
15) International Data Transfers
Because our site is hosted by a global provider, your public content may be stored or cached in multiple regions. Review the host’s policy for transfer mechanisms. We do not run independent data centers.
16) Changes to This Policy
We use semantic versioning and keep a human changelog. Material changes are summarized at the top of the policy with dates. Continued participation after a change indicates acceptance; you may always request removal of your entry.

Last updated: October 30, 2025 CE • October 30, 0001 MC
17) Contact
For edits, removals, or safety concerns, use the contact form linked from the Citizen Directory page or the official Embassy petition address listed on the site. If email is preferred, publish a dedicated inbox (e.g., privacy@…); we will update this section accordingly.
18) Quick Guide (Citizen-Facing)
Joining: submit your profile with only what you’re happy to make public.
Updating: send a quick edit request—title it “Citizen Card Update.”
Publishing Discoveries: include a credit line and, if possible, a small proof (screenshot).
Leaving: ask us to unpublish or delete your entry; we’ll confirm when complete.
Safety: report harassment or misuse immediately; we prioritize repair and protection.
Final Blessing
This directory is a porch light, not a spotlight. It exists to unite players by virtue, story, and kindness—to make it easier to find friends, kitchens, clinics, and quiet routes across the stars. If our practices ever drift from that promise, the practices must change. Until then: Lanterns up. Name with care. 💜

Citizen, step forward — whether naming stars, worlds, plants, beasts, or minerals, or joining as explorer, teammate, or keeper of vaults. Your voice carves itself into the Republic.
