Pilot privacy policy
This policy explains what data LightningWars expects to process during the invitation-only promotional pilot and why that data is needed to run the game, payments, settlement, ranking, and player communication.
LightningWars is currently an invitation-only promotional pilot organized by H. Begeman through an existing entity. The first step is one or two small sessions with logs and payment records collected for support, accounting, legal, and KSA-style review. Data processing should stay limited to what is needed for booking, check-in, match operation, payment status, settlement handling, support, safety, and accounting.
Depending on the flow used, we may process your name, email address, 18+ age confirmation, player nickname, Lightning Address or LNURL, booking details, payment status, settlement status, match result, rank/profile status, timestamps, technical logs, and Telegram link/status if Telegram match updates are enabled.
We use this data to organize the pilot, identify players, connect a player to a wallet identity, confirm payment, run the match, record the final ranking, review settlement, communicate with players, prevent duplicate payout attempts, and keep basic administrative records.
Your Lightning Address or LNURL acts as your check-in identity and wallet route during the pilot. LightningWars may keep a separate pilot profile for rank, form, match history, and settlement review. Any compatible Lightning Address or LNURL wallet may be used. We never ask for wallet seed phrases, private keys, passwords, or account login details.
Payment and settlement records may include amounts, status, timestamps, transaction or payment references, payout run IDs, failure reasons, and claim fallback status. These records are needed for audit, troubleshooting, accounting, and preventing accidental duplicate payouts.
If Telegram updates are used, a Telegram chat link or status may be processed to send match-start, hit, elimination, ranking, settlement, or session messages. Telegram is optional for communication and should not be used to expose private payment secrets.
Data may be processed by the tools and providers needed to operate the pilot, such as wallet/payment infrastructure, email or booking tools, hosting, Telegram, and technical support systems. We do not sell player data.
The public join-interest and demo-review forms are stored on LightningWars-controlled hosting so the organizer can follow up with interested players, reviewers, and partners. Form submissions can include nickname, name, email address, Telegram handle, optional Lightning Address or LNURL, interest type, review angle, requested player count, notes, confirmation status, timestamp, IP address, and browser user agent.
The public website may display a live BTC reference price and pilot pricing information. The public website itself does not decide match results, eligibility, or settlement.
Pilot records should be kept only as long as needed for operation, support, accounting, legal obligations, dispute handling, and technical audit. Payment, payout, and accounting records may need to be retained longer than short-lived technical logs.
You may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of your personal data where applicable. Some records may need to be retained for accounting, dispute handling, or payout audit purposes.
