Privacy Policy for Economix
Last Updated: April 11, 2025
Welcome to Economix (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our platform, including our website (https://economix.lol), services, and features such as trading, chatting, and gaming (collectively, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We collect the following types of information to provide and improve the Service:
- Account Information: When you register or log in, we collect your username and a hashed version of your password. If you enable two-factor authentication (2FA), we may also collect your email address or phone number for verification purposes.
- Profile Information: You may optionally provide additional details such as a profile picture, bio, or cosmetic preferences (e.g., messageplates and nameplates), which may be visible to other users.
- Transaction Data: When you engage in activities like trading items, sending tokens, or participating in auctions, we collect details about these transactions, including item IDs, token amounts, and timestamps.
- Communication Data: Messages you send in chat rooms (e.g., global, exclusive, or staff chats) are collected, including content, timestamps, and your username.
- Device and Usage Data: We collect information about your device, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and usage patterns (e.g., pages visited, time spent on features like the marketplace or casino).
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, track usage, and improve the Service. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
- Log Data: Our servers log actions such as login attempts, item creation, and chat activity for security and moderation purposes.
- Authentication Services: If you link your Economix account to third-party services (e.g., Discord for support), we may receive limited information like your Discord ID.
- Payment Processors: If you purchase gems or upgrade to PRO/PRO+ plans, payment processors may provide us with transaction confirmation details (though we do not store full payment information).
We use your information to operate, maintain, and enhance the Service, including:
- Account Management: To create and manage your account, authenticate logins, and secure your profile with features like 2FA.
- Service Delivery: To enable trading, chatting, gaming (e.g., casino games), pet management, and other interactive features.
- Communication: To send you notifications (e.g., about trades or bans), respond to inquiries, and moderate chat rooms.
- Security and Fraud Prevention: To detect and prevent cheating, spam, or abuse, using IP addresses, logs, and automated moderation tools (e.g., AutoMod).
- Analytics and Improvement: To analyze usage trends, improve features (e.g., marketplace dynamics), and develop new content.
- Leaderboards and Social Features: To display your username and stats (e.g., tokens, level) on leaderboards or in chats, unless you opt for private settings.
- Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal requests.
We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share it in these cases:
- With Other Users: Your username, profile details, chat messages, and transaction history (e.g., items sold) may be visible to other users as part of the Service.
- Service Providers: We share data with third-party providers (e.g., hosting services, MongoDB for database storage) to operate the Service. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements.
- Moderation and Support: Moderators and administrators may access your data (e.g., chat logs, IP addresses) to enforce rules or investigate reports.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose information to comply with laws, respond to subpoenas, or protect our rights and the safety of others.
- Business Transfers: If Economix is involved in a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred to the new entity.
- Public Platforms: Links to our GitHub repository and Discord server are provided, but we do not share your data with these platforms unless you choose to engage with them separately.
4. Data Protection and Security
We prioritize the security of your information and implement the following measures:
- Encryption: We use military-grade encryption to protect data during transmission and storage (e.g., password hashing, secure API calls).
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Optional 2FA adds an extra layer of account security using time-based codes.
- Access Controls: Only authorized personnel (e.g., admins) can access sensitive data, and access is logged.
- AutoMod: Automated systems monitor for spam, fraud, and abuse, blocking suspicious IPs or accounts.
- Regular Updates: We perform ongoing security audits and updates to address vulnerabilities.
Despite these efforts, no online service is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access.
5. Your Rights and Choices
You have control over your personal information:
- Access and Correction: Update your username, profile details, or cosmetic preferences via the settings tab.
- Data Portability: Request a copy of your account data (e.g., items, tokens) by contacting us.
- Deletion: Delete your account through the settings tab, subject to retention for legal or security purposes (e.g., ban records).
- Opt-Out: Opt out of notifications or public visibility (e.g., inventory privacy settings) where available.
- Cookie Management: Adjust cookie settings in your browser to limit tracking.

6. Children’s Privacy
Economix is not intended for users under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover such data, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has provided information, please contact us.
7. International Data Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries outside your own (e.g., where our servers or service providers are located), which may have different data protection laws. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data per this policy.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you by posting the updated policy on this page and revising the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes indicates your acceptance.
