Privacy policy
Zythe’s Eden is a free, independently maintained EVE Online community tool operated by its individual maintainer in the United States. It is not operated by CCP Games. Privacy and support contact: info@zythestudio.com.
What we receive and why
- Sign-in and linked characters: EVE character identifiers, names, permissions and authorization tokens, used to identify your account and retrieve the game data you authorize. EVE handles your password; this site does not receive it.
- Authorized game data: depending on permissions and tools used, skills, blueprints, jobs, wallet balances, mining records, online status, in-game locations and accessible corporation or structure information. These support the calculators, inventories and mapper. Cached game data may be stored on the server to reduce repeated EVE requests.
- Your submissions: workspace names, memberships and invitations, maps, signatures, notes, projects, appraisal lists, feedback and owner-authored release posts. We process these to provide the features you select.
- Technical and security information: requests necessarily expose IP addresses and browser/network details to the host and relevant service providers. The application's rate limiter stores keyed fingerprints rather than raw IP addresses. Hosting or security-provider logs may separately contain network information.
Tracking and shared workspaces
Mapper location sharing starts when you choose Start tracking, subject to your permissions and EVE availability. That choice is remembered for this browser and workspace; once enabled, tracking may resume on later map visits and continue polling while you use other tabs on this site. Use Stop tracking in the map tools to stop it. Online/location information and recorded movements may be visible to members of the selected workspace. Stopping tracking prevents further polling; it does not erase earlier movements or notes.
Workspace members can see shared maps, projects and scouting information according to their role. Owners and editors can change shared records. Linking a character does not give another member your OAuth tokens or automatic access to all your private character data. Nevertheless, only share a workspace with people you trust, and check what you put in project notes and map labels.
Appraisals and clipboard input
Appraisal sends the pasted item list to this server when you press Appraise. Appraising also creates a shareable result snapshot when storage is available. Anyone who obtains its link can view that snapshot without signing in. It may contain item names, quantities and values, including unrecognized text from your paste. Do not appraise secrets or information you do not want available through a shared link. The raw paste is not kept as a separate document, but its item information can remain in the result.
Shared appraisals expire after 30 days and may be removed earlier to stay within storage limits. Expired files are cleaned up during subsequent store activity; expiry does not guarantee immediate physical erasure or deletion of copies another person made. The Skill queue optimizer processes its pasted list in your browser. The scanner reads clipboard text only during a paste action; it does not continuously monitor your clipboard.
Cookies and browser storage
Market and Appraisal can be used without EVE sign-in after a bot check. A signed first-party session remembers that verification for up to one hour and supports request limits; it does not create an EVE account link or grant private workspace access. Signed-in users retain their linked characters and available character features.
A first-party session cookie supports sign-in, selected account/workspace state and request protection. The configured sign-in session lifetime is up to 14 days; signing out clears this browser's session cookie. Browser storage also remembers settings, window positions, searches, fitting saves and drafts, project drafts and locally cached catalogues or prices. Some of these remain until you clear them or clear site data. Signing out does not clear every browser-saved fit, draft or preference. Browser storage is specific to the browser/profile; use a trusted device.
The application currently includes no advertising, payment processing or audience-analytics integrations. We do not sell personal information or supply it for targeted advertising through the current application. Essential sign-in/security storage and settings requested by you are used to operate the tools. Adding advertising or other non-essential tracking would require an updated notice and any legally required choices or consent before activation; this policy does not authorize future ad tracking.
An optional support link opens thezynet.com/donate, a separate page. Payment information is not entered or processed by this application's tools. Review the destination's privacy and payment information before contributing; contributions are not required for access.
Providers, external resources and disclosures
The service uses Render hosting and the configured database/storage services. CCP provides EVE sign-in, game APIs and images. When enabled, Cloudflare Turnstile checks sign-in and public-tool access requests; its widget receives browser/network information, and verification can include your public IP address. Images are fetched from CCP's image service by your browser. These services therefore receive relevant requests even without ads. Their practices are described by Render, CCP and Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
The operator and service providers can access data as necessary to operate, secure, recover and support the service. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or to address abuse or protect legal rights. External links to community reference tools are separate services when you follow them. The operator is in the United States; provider processing locations depend on the hosting and service configuration and may be outside your country.
Retention and deletion
Account, workspace, project and feedback records do not currently have a universal automatic deletion schedule. They are retained while needed to provide the account, shared work, support and security, unless deleted through available controls or an accepted request, subject to lawful retention needs. Cached data uses expiry and cleanup mechanisms, but expired data is not necessarily removed from physical storage immediately. Backups, provider logs and security records follow their configured rotation and retention; removal from the live service does not instantly remove every backup copy.
You can remove eligible linked characters in Account, delete records where your workspace role permits, clear browser data, and revoke the application's access through EVE's authorized-applications controls. Revocation prevents further authorized retrieval; it does not itself erase previously saved records. The last linked character cannot currently be removed through the unlink button. Contact us to request full account deletion, an explanation or a copy of your information, correction, or other privacy assistance. Shared records involving others and lawful security/recordkeeping needs may affect what can be removed.
Security and your rights
Stored EVE authorization tokens are encrypted, and server-side access checks protect workspace operations. Not all application data is encrypted by the application, and no system can guarantee complete security. Do not send passwords, session cookies or access tokens in feedback, notes or email.
Depending on the laws that apply to you, rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection and withdrawal of applicable consent, as well as a complaint to your local supervisory authority. Where a legal basis is required, processing is based on providing requested services, legitimate operational/security interests, legal obligations, or consent where appropriate. Contact info@zythestudio.com to make a request; we may need proportionate verification that it concerns your account. We will handle applicable requests within the time required by law. We do not use the service to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you.
Children and changes
This general-audience community tool is not directed to children under 13. Do not use it if you are under 13. We do not receive a date of birth from EVE and do not claim to verify every user's age. If you believe information from a child under 13 has been submitted, contact us so it can be reviewed and handled as required by applicable law.
Material changes will be announced through this site and reflected in the date above. New purposes or tracking will require any additional notice or consent required by applicable law.
