3. Data We Collect

We collect limited data to improve our games and understand how players interact with them. We do not collect payment information, and our games do not require account registration directly with us.

3.1 Analytics and Telemetry Data

Aggregated play patterns and feature usage

All analytics and telemetry data is fully anonymized at the point of collection. We do not assign or store any user identifiers, device identifiers, or any other data that could be used to identify you as an individual. We work exclusively with clean, aggregated data that contains no personal information.

3.2 Platform-Provided Data

If you play our games via Steam (Valve Corporation) or a console platform (for example PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo), those platforms may collect additional data under their own privacy policies. We may receive limited, aggregated information from these platforms, such as achievement statistics or crash reports, as permitted by their developer agreements. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these platforms:

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and processing analytics data is our legitimate interest in improving our products and ensuring game quality (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where required by law, we will request your consent before collecting analytics data.

6. Data Retention

We retain analytics and telemetry data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained indefinitely as it can no longer be linked to any individual. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
