Privacy Policy

01What we collect

Your account. The email address you sign up with. If you use a password, our sign-in provider, Google Firebase Authentication, stores it only as a one-way hash: neither we nor Google can read it. If you sign in with Google, Google tells our sign-in provider your email address, your name and your profile picture; the game does not use or show your name or picture, and we never see your Google password.

Sign-in records. Each time you sign up, sign in or your session is renewed, our sign-in provider records the time, what happened, and the IP address the request came from. We use these records to keep accounts secure and to investigate abuse.

Your game. Your survivor and everything that belongs to it: its condition, inventory, gear, shelter, and the progress of what you are doing in the game.

Gameplay events. To balance and improve the game, we record the actions you take in it (for example walks, fights, crafting and building), the state of your survivor when you took them, the screens you open, how long your play sessions last and which version of the game you run, a random identifier for each session, and whether you play on the web, iOS or Android. These events are linked to your account. They never include your IP address, your browser or device details, your email address, or anything you type.

Bug reports. You can send us a bug report from the game’s menu. It contains what you write, the screen you sent it from, the version of the game you run, and your account’s player identifier. We may copy the text you write into our private issue tracker so the problem can be fixed.

Analytics, only if you allow it. When you first open the game it asks whether you allow analytics. If you choose Allow, the web version uses Google Analytics to count visits and to see which pages are used, how visitors arrive (for example from a search or a link), and their kind of device, browser, screen size and country. Google Analytics keeps a random identifier in a cookie on your device to tell visits apart. It is not linked to your account, your email address or your game, it does not store your IP address, and we have turned off Google’s advertising features for it. If you choose No thanks, or do not choose, Google Analytics is not loaded at all.

On your device. The game keeps your sign-in session, your analytics choice and a few display preferences in your browser’s local storage. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. The only cookies set by an outside service are Google Analytics’, and only if you allow analytics.

Connection data. Like every website, the services that deliver the game to you (below) see your IP address and basic request details when you connect, and may keep them in their own logs for a short time.

We do not ask for your address, phone number, location, contacts or payment details.

02How we use it

We use this information to run the game and your account, keep it secure, fix bugs, and balance and improve the game. We do not sell your information, share it for advertising, or use it to build a profile of you outside the game. We disclose it only to the service providers listed below, as needed to run the game, or when the law requires it.

03Where it is kept

Your game, gameplay events and bug reports are stored in databases on servers we operate ourselves in the United States. Your account and sign-in records are held for us by Google Firebase Authentication. If you allow analytics, Google Analytics holds the visit data described above.

We rely on these providers to deliver the game:

• Google runs sign-in (Firebase Authentication) and, only if you allow it, Google Analytics, under Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Cloudflare carries the connection between your device and our servers.
• Vercel serves the files of the web version of the game.
• GitHub hosts our private issue tracker, which may hold the text of bug reports.
• Apple and Google distribute the iOS and Android apps through their app stores, under their own privacy policies.

04How long we keep it

Gameplay events are deleted automatically after 180 days. Your account, sign-in records, game and bug reports are kept while your account exists. When you ask us to delete your account, we delete all of them. Google Analytics deletes its visit data after 2 months.

05Your choices

You can ask us to show you the information we hold about you, correct it, or delete your account and everything linked to it. Email support@iloggames.com from the address you signed up with, and we will answer within 30 days. We will not treat you differently for making a request.

You can turn analytics on or off at any time in Settings, in the game’s menu.

06Children

The game is for players 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, email us and we will delete it.

07Do Not Track

We do not track you across other websites or services, and we do not allow third parties to do so through the game. If you allow analytics, Google Analytics measures your visits to this game only. The game works the same whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track signal.

08Security

Connections to the game are encrypted, passwords are stored only as hashes, and access to our servers is limited to us. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee that your information will never be accessed without permission. If that happens, we will tell you as the law requires.

09California residents

This policy is written to meet the California Online Privacy Protection Act. If you live in California you may also ask us, once a year and free of charge, whether we have shared your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing. We have not, and we do not.

10Changes to this policy

When we change this policy we post the new version here and update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use information we already hold, we will tell you in the game before it takes effect.
