Privacy & Cookies Policy

Last updated: January 2026

1. Introduction to Data Privacy

Welcome to Celestia Nights, operated by Lucky Nights Social Limited. We take the privacy and security of our players very seriously. This Privacy and Cookies Policy outlines the comprehensive measures we have implemented to ensure that your personal information is protected while you enjoy our free-to-play social casino games. Our platform operates entirely on virtual currency (Nova Sparks) and does not involve real-money transactions, but we still apply rigorous data protection standards as mandated by privacy regulations within the United Kingdom and internationally. By accessing and using our website, you agree to the collection and use of your data in accordance with this policy. We encourage you to read this document thoroughly to fully understand our practices and your rights regarding your personal data.

2. Information We Collect

To provide a seamless and engaging experience at The Nocturne Observatory, we collect certain types of data from our players. This collection is strictly limited to what is necessary for the optimal functioning of our games and platform. The data we collect includes, but is not limited to, the following categories:

Account Details: If you choose to create an account to save your Constellation Map progress, we may collect your email address, a chosen username, and an encrypted password.
Usage Metrics: Information regarding your interaction with our platform, such as the specific games played (e.g., Zodiac Wheel, Nebula Reels), session duration, and how often you log in to claim daily Nova Sparks.
Device Information: Data regarding the device used to access our site, including IP address, browser type, operating system, and screen resolution to ensure responsive delivery of our high-definition celestial graphics.
Communication Data: Any information you provide when contacting our support team via email or our contact forms.

3. How We Use Your Data

The information we collect is utilized to create a better, safer, and more enjoyable experience. We do not sell your personal data to third-party marketers. Our primary uses include:

Maintaining and improving the Celestia Nights platform, ensuring games load correctly and your virtual balance of Nova Sparks is accurately tracked. We also use usage data to understand which games are most popular, allowing our development team to tailor future features to player preferences. Furthermore, device and IP information are crucial for our Security Operations Center to detect and prevent fraudulent activities, enforce our strict 18+ age requirement, and ensure compliance with our purely social, no-real-money policies. If you have opted into communications, we may occasionally send emails regarding platform updates or exclusive virtual currency rewards.

4. Cookie Usage & Tracking Details

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help our website function smoothly and to gather analytics. We categorize our cookies as follows:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for navigating the site, remembering your session state, and securely maintaining your Nova Sparks balance in local storage. Without these, core functionality would fail.
Performance and Analytics Cookies: We use these to track anonymized user journeys, understanding where players spend their time—whether in the Astral Lounge or the Zenith Deck. This helps us optimize performance.
Functional Cookies: These allow the platform to remember your preferences, such as your acceptance of our age gate and specific game UI settings.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may severely impact your ability to play our games or maintain your virtual progression.

5. Third-Party Services Information

While Celestia Nights is built securely, we may employ trusted third-party service providers to facilitate our platform operations. This includes secure hosting services, analytics providers, and customer support infrastructure. We ensure that any third-party provider we engage strictly adheres to robust data protection standards and only processes data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. No data is shared with external entities for the purpose of cross-site advertising or unsolicited marketing.

6. Data Retention Periods

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Account information is kept while your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will purge your personal identifiers within 30 days, retaining only anonymized, aggregated usage statistics that cannot be linked back to you. This ensures that while our platform continues to learn and improve, your privacy is ultimately respected and finalized upon your departure from The Nocturne Observatory.

7. Your Rights as a Player

As a user, you possess fundamental rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to request access to the data we hold about you, to request corrections to any inaccuracies, and to request the complete deletion of your account and associated personal data (the "right to be forgotten"). You may also request a portable format of your data or restrict the processing of your information under certain legal conditions. To exercise any of these rights, please reach out to our support team.

8. Contacting the DPO

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy and Cookies Policy, or how your personal information is handled, you may contact our Data Protection Officer directly. Please send an email to support@www.southyorkshirepeoplestransport.com with "Privacy Inquiry" in the subject line.
