Privacypolicy
Effective July 5, 2026. Reads in 6 minutes — short and to the point.
Who we are and how to reach us
This policy describes how the Ghost project handles your data on the site and in our products. By placing an order, registering, or launching our software, you agree to what's written here.
- Data controller — the Ghost team, a private software store.
- Site — ghost.one. Product — a temporary license to software we build and maintain ourselves.
- We decide what data is processed and why, and we're responsible for keeping it safe.
- The service is meant for adults. We don't knowingly collect data from minors.
What data we collect
We split data into three groups: what the service can't run without, what you give by choice, and what we never touch.
Necessary
- Nickname and email — login, orders, purchase emails
- Password — only as an irreversible hash, never in plain text
- Device identifier and basic tech configuration — to bind the license
- IP and login session data — security and account-takeover protection
- Order details — what you bought, amount, payment method
By choice
- Phone — if you decide to add it to your profile
- Avatar — uploaded or from a social network
- Social login — Google, Yandex, Discord, Telegram
- Telegram for notifications — if you connect it
Never
- Your bank card details — only the payment service sees those
- Your password in readable form — even we don't know it
- The content of private messages outside support
- And we don't sell your data — under any circumstances
Where the data comes from
We get data in a few ways, and all of them are obvious.
Directly from you
When you register, place an order, set up your profile, or write to support.
Through social login
If you sign in via Google, Yandex, Discord, or Telegram, we get a basic profile: email, name, and avatar.
From your device
The site and loader send technical device and license-activity data — for the product to work and stay secure.
From payment systems
Payment status and transaction ID. Card details stay with the payment service.
From analytics
Anonymized visit statistics — which pages people open and how they move around the site.
Why we need this data
We process data only for a specific job. Next to each purpose is the legal basis we rely on.

Device data and the loader
Our product is a license bound to a single device. For that to work, the loader reads technical data from your computer. It's not about your identity — it's about the hardware and the launch.
- Device identifier — to bind the key to one machine, one key per device.
- Basic system configuration — components and OS parameters, network identifiers; needed for compatibility and to prevent device spoofing.
- License activity data — loader version, launch times, and approximate region by IP.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies. Some are required for the site to work, others are optional.
Who we share data with
We don't trade your data. But for the site to work, some data is processed by vetted contractors — strictly to the extent their job requires.
Taking payments
Payment providers receive the amount and email for the receipt and payment verification. Card details stay only with them.
Analytics and protection
Web analytics and anti-bot services receive anonymized technical data — statistics and security signals.
Social login
If you use social login, we exchange basic profile data with Google, Yandex, Discord, or Telegram.
Infrastructure and delivery
Hosting and CDN store media and avatars; the mail service delivers emails; Telegram handles notifications and support.
Some contractors are located outside the EEA. In those cases we rely on the legally provided safeguards for transfers — standard contractual clauses and equivalent guarantees.
How long we keep data
We keep data exactly as long as the job needs, then delete or anonymize it.
- Account and profile
- As long as the account exists
- Unfinished registration
- Up to 30 days, then deleted
- Login sessions
- From 3 to 30 days
- Verification and reset codes
- 10 minutes
- Service and payment logs, analytics
- Up to 90 days
- Orders and reviews
- Indefinitely, anonymized on deletion
How we protect data
We take your data seriously and protect it with technical and organizational measures.
- Passwords and tokens are stored only as irreversible hashes — even we don't see your password.
- Sensitive secrets, such as your two-factor key, are encrypted.
- Sessions live in protected cookies inaccessible to scripts; 2FA login is available.
- Access to data inside the team is limited and role-based.
- When data is served outward, extra fields are stripped automatically.
Your rights
It's your data. By law you have a set of rights, and we respect them — without bureaucracy.
Access
Find out what data we hold about you.
Rectification
Fix inaccurate data — some of it right in your profile.
Erasure
Wipe your account and related data — the right to be forgotten.
Restriction
Pause processing in disputed cases.
Portability
Get your data in a machine-readable form.
Objection
Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
Withdraw consent
Withdraw consent where processing relies on it, such as marketing.
Complaint
Reach out to a data protection supervisory authority.
To use any right — write to support on Telegram. To protect the account, we may ask you to confirm it's yours.
What happens when an account is deleted
When an account is deleted — at your request or automatically — here's what we do:
Fully deleted
- Personal profile and contacts
- Avatar
- Balance and bonus history
- Referral links and notifications
Anonymized
- Orders and reviews
- Support requests
- Detached from you, kept for accounting and guarantees
Kept briefly
- Some service and payment logs
- Up to 90 days for security and disputes
- Then deleted automatically
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy — for example, when we change services or contractors. We'll announce material changes in your account and in the Telegram channel. The date of the latest revision is at the bottom. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the new version.
