Harrowrift: Horde Survival: Privacy Policy
This text describes what the game (version 1.0.0) and its server do. It will be updated if anything changes.
This policy explains what the game Harrowrift: Horde Survival ("the game") collects, why, and what you can do about it. We try to collect as little as possible. The game can be played offline, without an account.
What we collect
Nothing below is sent while the game's online features are off or your device is offline; the game then keeps everything on your device.
- An anonymous player ID. Created at random when the game first connects (it looks like
HR-7K2M9QXD). It is not your name, e-mail address or phone number. A session token tied to it is kept on your device. - A display name. A made-up name (for example "Rift Walker 4821") is given to each player and shown beside scores in the rankings. The game does not ask you to type anything.
- Your game progress. A copy of your save (stages cleared, heroes, equipment, Gold, Gems and Forge Dust, missions, records and settings) so it can be restored.
- Your device, in general terms. Platform (Android or iOS), device model name, operating system version, game version, the device's language, and a random installation ID made by the game. We do not read your advertising ID, contacts, photos, location or microphone.
- Endless results. The score, wave, time and hero of runs you finish, for the rankings.
- Gameplay events. A short list of things that happen in the game (a stage started or finished, a run ended, a revive used), to balance the game and find problems.
- Error reports. If the game meets an error: the error text, game version and platform (Android or iOS).
- Purchases (when they are on sale): the product, the store's transaction reference, its state and the store's confirmation of it, so that what you bought can be delivered and restored. We never see or store your card or payment details; the store handles payment.
- Rewarded ads: a record that an ad you chose to watch was completed, so the reward can be given once.
- Sign in with Apple (optional, iPhone and iPad): if you link your Apple account so your progress can follow you to another device, we store the identifier Apple gives for it. We do not ask for your name or e-mail address and never receive your password.
- Notifications (only if you allow them): the game sets its reminders on your device itself. If you allow notifications, the game also sends us the push token your phone's system gives it (from Google Firebase Cloud Messaging on Android, from Apple on iPhone and iPad), with the language of the game, so that we can occasionally send a message about the game. Switching reminders off in Settings, or notifications off in your phone's settings, stops this and removes the token from our server.
Game Center and Play Games
On iPhone and iPad, if you are signed in to Apple Game Center, your scores in the game's rankings are also sent to Game Center, under Apple's own terms. On Android, if the game is connected to Google Play Games on your device, Google Play Games can sign you in to the game; your Play Games name is then shown in the game's Settings. Both are optional and handled by Apple and Google; the game works the same without them.
Advertising
The game shows an ad only when you ask for one (to revive once in a run). Ads are served by Google AdMob. In regions where the law requires it, the game asks for your consent before any ad is loaded, and you can change your answer in Settings. On iPhone and iPad the game does not ask to track you and its ads are not personalised. Google's use of data is described in Google's own privacy policy.
Who else receives data
- Google (AdMob), for the ads you choose to watch.
- Apple and Google, as the stores that process purchases; Apple for Sign in with Apple and Game Center if you use them; Google for Play Games if you use it.
- Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) and Apple (Apple Push Notification service), which deliver our occasional messages to your device if you allowed notifications. They receive the push token and the message, and nothing else from us.
- Hetzner Online GmbH, which hosts our server in the European Union.
We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with anyone else.
What we do not collect
Your real name, e-mail address (unless you write to us), phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, or anything you type: the game has no chat and no text entry.
How long we keep it
- Your account and save: until you delete your account. Records of store transactions are kept after that without any link to you.
- Gameplay events: 90 days, then deleted. Daily totals that name no player are kept.
- Push tokens: until you switch notifications off, delete your account, or the delivery service reports the token as no longer valid. A list of the messages we sent (their text and how many devices they reached) is kept without any link to you.
- Database backups: 14 days.
- Server logs, which contain IP addresses, are kept only as long as their size allows (usually days) and are used for security.
Deleting your account
See Delete your account and data. Uninstalling the game removes the copy on your device.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 13 (or the age your country sets) and contains fantasy violence. We do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has used the game online, write to us and we will delete the account.
Your choices and rights
You can play offline, decline ads, refuse or switch off notifications, and ask us for a copy of your data or for its deletion. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or Turkey's KVKK) you may have further rights, including to object and to complain to your data protection authority. Write to us and we will answer.
