Captain Blast Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 13, 2026 ยท Last updated: September 13, 2026
1. Who we are and what this policy covers
Shanghai Lianyu Information Technology CO.,LTD ("Lianyu Games", "we", "us") operates the versions of Captain Blast that link to this policy and is responsible as controller for the personal information described here. Our registered address is Room JT262, 1st Floor, Building 1, No. 655 Yinxiang Road, Jiading District, Shanghai, China. Contact: service@lianyugame.com.
This policy covers game processing only. It does not cover the Captain Blast promotional website or GEO pages, the Japanese LINE version, which has its own policy, or our other games. Following a website link to a covered game does not bring the referring website within this policy. Platforms, publishers and payment providers may process information for their own purposes under their own privacy notices; this does not remove our responsibility for information we process.
2. Information and purposes
Captain Blast supports platform login, guest accounts, text chat and scheduled local app reminders. It does not provide voice chat or avatar uploads, display advertisements, use advertising SDKs, or send email marketing. The game currently has no Firebase integration or other third-party analytics or crash-reporting data-collection provider.
| Activity | Information | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Platform login | Platform account identifier and profile fields actually supplied by the platform | Associate you with your game account and progress |
| Guest play | Guest identifier and associated game progress | Maintain a guest game session and saved progress |
| Gameplay | Progress, scores and game activity associated with your account | Deliver gameplay and relevant team or competition features |
| Team text chat | Team messages and identifiers needed to associate messages with players | Display recent messages to team members; there is no private one-to-one chat |
| Server operation | Operational and error logs associated with the game service, including player identifiers where recorded | Operate and troubleshoot the game service |
| Purchases | Order information and payment results received from the checkout provider | Deliver purchased items and reconcile transactions |
| Local app reminders | Reminder scheduling information processed on your device | Display scheduled reminders locally, without a remote notification service |
| Messages to us | Information you send us and information needed to address your request | Handle enquiries and privacy requests |
We do not receive your full payment card number. Payment credentials are handled by the checkout provider under its own notice.
3. Legal grounds and choices
For players in the European Economic Area, we use the following legal grounds where applicable:
| Purpose | Legal ground |
|---|---|
| Platform or guest account continuity, saved progress, requested gameplay and team-message delivery | Performance of the game-service contract |
| Order verification and delivery of purchased entitlements | Performance of the relevant contract |
| Records required for tax or accounting compliance | Applicable legal obligations |
| Necessary operational troubleshooting, service security and handling disputes | Our legitimate interests in maintaining a functioning, secure service and protecting legal rights, balanced against players' rights |
| Optional processing for which consent is legally required | Your consent, obtained separately before that processing |
Where Canadian law requires consent, it must be meaningful and appropriate to the information and purpose. Optional purposes are distinct from information necessary to provide the requested service. Consent does not authorise unnecessary collection or retention. You may contact us to withdraw consent, subject to applicable legal or contractual restrictions; we will explain any resulting effect on the requested service. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing.
Providing account information and gameplay records is necessary to associate a player with saved progress. Purchases require order information to deliver the relevant entitlements. Team messages are processed when you choose to use team chat. Local app reminders are scheduled on your device and do not use a remote notification provider. Agreement to the Terms is not blanket consent to every use of personal information.
4. Who receives information
Recipients include the game platforms used for login and transactions; Amazon Web Services for hosting and database infrastructure; and players who can see information through game and text-chat features. We may disclose information where required by applicable law or where lawful and necessary to protect rights or respond to a legal claim.
For Discord purchases, checkout uses Xsolla and the receipt identifies Xsolla. The applicable checkout, receipt and purchase terms identify the relevant legal entity and its purchase responsibilities. Other platform purchases are handled through the relevant platform's purchase arrangements.
5. International processing
Our principal AWS hosting is in the eastern United States. Our team in Shanghai, China can access game data. Your information is therefore processed outside your country, including in the United States and China, where laws and access by public authorities may differ from those in your country.
AWS hosting is subject to the applicable AWS service and data-processing terms. AWS publishes its Data Processing Addendum. That document describes AWS's contractual framework; it is not a statement that every processing activity involving your information is covered by the same mechanism. You may contact service@lianyugame.com to request information about the safeguards applicable to your data, including available copies of relevant contractual safeguards with confidential information protected. Use of the game does not constitute blanket consent to international transfers or a waiver of applicable protections.
6. Retention
We do not delete game accounts or clear their saved progress or virtual-currency balances solely because of inactivity. This does not prevent deletion in response to a valid privacy request or where required by applicable law.
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account, progress and virtual entitlements | Retained for continuing game service; no inactivity-based clearing; valid deletion requests and applicable legal requirements remain relevant |
| Team chat | Team history is retained without an automatic expiry period. Players see the most recent messages. Applicable deletion rights and the treatment of identifying information are explained below |
| Ordinary operational logs, excluding error logs | 30 days, then deletion or irreversible anonymisation |
| Error logs | 365 days, then deletion or irreversible anonymisation, subject to the specific justified exceptions below |
| Security, abnormal-login and anti-cheat logs, if collected | 180 days, then deletion or irreversible anonymisation |
| Database backups | Rolling 30-day retention, with expiry of older copies |
| Orders and payment records | For the periods required by applicable tax and accounting obligations and as necessary for transaction disputes; the period depends on the relevant record and obligation |
For specific complaints, fraud investigations or legal proceedings, relevant records may be retained for a justified additional period rather than extending retention of all records.
When acting on a valid privacy request, we can remove the player's identity association from team-chat records while retaining the team conversation. This does not mean every remaining message is anonymous: message text may itself identify a person. Applicable deletion rights remain relevant to that information, and team membership does not create a blanket exception to those rights.
After processing an applicable deletion request, residual backup copies expire through the rolling 30-day backup cycle. Such copies are restricted to disaster recovery; deletion records are reapplied before restored information returns to normal use. Information retained for an applicable legal obligation or a justified legal claim is treated separately from ordinary game use.
7. Your privacy rights
Depending on the law that applies, you may request access to or a copy of your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, withdrawal of consent, or objection to certain processing. The availability and scope of these rights depend on the applicable law and circumstances. Rights may be subject to lawful exceptions, such as necessary financial records or protecting another person's rights. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Email service@lianyugame.com with your request, player ID if available, and platform. Our team handles requests manually. Do not send passwords or full payment-card details. We may ask for proportionate information to verify your identity or authority; guest accounts may require evidence of control over the guest identifier. An authorised representative may contact us where the applicable law allows this.
Our operational target is to address your request within 30 days of receipt, subject to the applicable legal deadline. If GDPR applies, we respond without undue delay and normally within one month of receipt. A permitted extension of up to two further months for complexity or number of requests will be explained within the first month. Other applicable deadlines and extension rules take precedence where relevant. We explain lawful refusals, identification difficulties and available complaint or appeal options. We do not treat the identity-check process as an automatic restart of the response deadline.
If you object to processing based on legitimate interests, we assess the objection under applicable law. Portability applies where the legal conditions are met, including certain automated processing based on consent or contract. We protect other players' information when responding to access requests.
You may complain to the competent regulator without contacting us first. EEA players may complain to a supervisory authority in their habitual residence, workplace or place of an alleged infringement. Canadian players may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the competent provincial regulator. If applicable US state law provides an appeal or opt-out right, contact us at the same address to exercise it; identify an appeal as such so it can be reviewed.
8. Children and younger players
Captain Blast has a 13+ age rating. We do not ask players to enter their age in the game, and this rating is not a claim that we have verified every player's age. Relevant platform eligibility rules also apply.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information in circumstances requiring parental consent or other protection, contact service@lianyugame.com with the platform and player identifier if available. We will assess the information and the applicable requirements, including necessary restrictions or deletion. Where legally required, consent must come from a parent or guardian; simply using the game does not establish verified parental consent. Rules about a minor's ability to enter a contract are separate from the game's age rating.
9. Security and policy changes
Our security responsibilities cover the game backend, staff access and retained backups. We use AWS infrastructure, and our team in Shanghai can access game data for operation and handling requests. No online service can guarantee absolute security. If you suspect unauthorised use or disclosure of your information, contact service@lianyugame.com. Applicable incident-notification obligations are not limited by this policy.
We will identify the date of policy updates and explain material changes through an appropriate notice. Where a new use requires consent, we will obtain it before starting that use. Publishing a change does not itself authorise incompatible new uses of your information.
