What this site collects

Last updated 11 August 2026

The short version: this site does not collect anything about you. There is no mechanism in it that could. What follows is that statement broken into its parts, plus the one thing that is genuinely worth naming, which is the host.

Cookies

None. This site sets no cookies of any kind, so there is no banner to click and nothing to consent to.

Analytics

None. No analytics script, no tracking pixel, no beacon, no fingerprinting, no A/B testing.

Third-party content

None. No web fonts, no content delivery network, no embedded video, no maps, no social widgets, no comment system. Every file the page loads comes from atomictick.com.

Forms and accounts

None. There is no sign-in, no sign-up, no waitlist, no newsletter and no contact form. There is nowhere on this site to type anything.

Stored on your device

One item: your light or dark theme choice, if you use the toggle in the header. It never leaves your browser. play.atomictick.com has the same toggle and stores the same one item under the same name, but browser storage is per-origin, so that is a separate copy on a separate site and neither can read the other's.

Hosting

Cloudflare Pages, which keeps standard server request logs in the course of delivering the site.

What this site does not do

It sets no cookies. It runs no analytics of any kind, first-party or otherwise. It loads nothing from any other company: no fonts, no scripts from a CDN, no embedded video, no social buttons. It has no forms, so there is nothing to submit, and no accounts, so there is nothing to sign into. It does not attempt to identify you, profile you, or recognise you if you come back.

This is enforced rather than merely intended. The site ships a Content Security Policy whose connect-src directive is set to none, which means the browser refuses every background network request the pages could try to make — fetch, XHR, WebSocket, beacon, all of it. If a tracking script were ever added here by mistake, it would fail loudly in the browser rather than quietly work.

The one thing stored on your device

If you press the theme toggle in the header, your browser stores a single value in local storage under the key atomictick-theme, set to either light or dark. It exists so the site does not flash the wrong colours at you on the next page.

That value is written by your browser, kept on your device, and never sent anywhere — the site has no server to send it to. It is not an identifier and it is not linked to anything. Clearing site data for atomictick.com removes it, and the site then follows whatever light or dark preference your operating system reports.

Hosting, and server logs

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Delivering a page to you necessarily means the host receives your request, and that request carries the ordinary things every web request carries: your IP address, the address you asked for, the time, your browser's user-agent string and, sometimes, the page you came from.

Cloudflare keeps standard server request logs as part of serving and protecting the site, and reports aggregate traffic figures such as total requests and bandwidth. Those logs are not queried for individual visitors, nothing is exported from them, and nothing in them is combined with anything else or used to build a picture of a person. Their handling is governed by Cloudflare's own terms: Cloudflare's privacy policy.

This is the honest limit of what "collects nothing" can mean for any website. A server cannot answer a request it never receives. What it can avoid is keeping, enriching or trading in what it receives, and that is what is avoided here.

Links away from this site

Several pages link to places that are not this site: the Discord server, spacejunkindustries.com, astralsovereignty.com and play.atomictick.com. Those are separate services with their own practices, and this notice does not cover them. Discord in particular is a large third-party platform and you should read its own policies before joining anything.

Following a link away is a normal navigation and nothing is attached to it. The site's referrer policy is strict-origin-when-cross-origin, so a site you travel to learns at most that you arrived from atomictick.com, never which page you were reading.

If you email

Writing to spacejunkindustries@gmail.com means your message and your address sit in an ordinary Gmail mailbox, read by one person. It is kept for as long as it is useful to keep, used only to reply to you, and never added to a mailing list, because there is no mailing list. Ask for it to be deleted and it will be.

Children

The game is designed for an audience of thirteen and over. This site is a set of public pages about a game in development and there is nothing on it to sign up for, restrict, or verify an age against. Age handling belongs in the notice that covers accounts, and it will be written when accounts exist.

What will change when there is a game

Nothing described above extends to the game, because the game is not deployed. There is no server, no API, no account and no client. See honest status for what has and has not been built.

The design does already commit to specifics, and they are worth stating so the direction is on record rather than a surprise later:

• An email address is intended to be the only personal data collected. No real name, no date of birth, no phone number, no postal address, no payment details.
• No password is stored anywhere, because sign-in is designed as a six-digit code sent by email and exchanged for a session token.
• Account deletion works by tombstoning: personal data erased, the link between account and characters severed, and pseudonymous character identifiers retained so that shared ledgers and other players' recorded history survive rather than developing holes.

Those are designed and implemented in a private codebase in development. They are not operating publicly, and a design commitment is not the same thing as a demonstrated practice. A full privacy notice describing what actually happens will replace this page before anybody can create an account, and this page is not a substitute for it.

Changes to this notice

The date at the top is the only version history. If this page changes materially before accounts exist, that date changes with it.

Contact

Questions, corrections, or a claim in here you think is wrong: spacejunkindustries@gmail.com, or the Discord. There are no mailboxes on the atomictick.com domain, so an address at that domain will not reach anyone.
