Privacy

This website doesn't use cookies or track you. TowerLine and Symmodance send nothing to me. Sire, We Must Redraw! can send play data, but only if you say yes in the game.

The website

Hosting. The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web server, Cloudflare handles your IP address and basic request details (browser, time, page asked for) so it can deliver the page and block attacks. That data stays with Cloudflare, under their privacy policy.

Visitor numbers. I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they read. It uses no cookies, doesn't fingerprint your device and doesn't follow you to other sites. I only ever see totals.

Fonts and images. Everything on these pages is served from this site. Nothing loads from Google, ad networks or social media.

Both rely on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): keeping the site running and safe, and knowing whether anyone reads it. I never see individual visits or IP addresses; Cloudflare keeps request data only as long as its own policy allows.

Cookies. None. The site also stores nothing in your browser.

Links to other sites. Links to Steam, Discord, TikTok, Bluesky and X take you to those sites. Once you're there, their own privacy policies apply.

If you email me. I'll use your address and message only to reply, and won't add you to any list or pass them on. Mail to saltraingames.com addresses is stored by my email provider, Purelymail, on my behalf. Legal basis: legitimate interest in answering you (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). I delete a conversation at the latest two years after the last message, unless it's a business record the law makes me keep longer (up to seven years in Austria).

The games

TowerLine and Symmodance collect nothing themselves. Achievements, cloud saves and purchases go through Steam.

Steam. All three games are sold and run through Steam. What Valve collects there falls under Valve's privacy policy, not this one. I see only the totals Valve shows every developer, such as sales and review counts.

Sire, We Must Redraw!: play data

Off unless you turn it on. On the first launch the game asks once whether you want to share play data, with both answers the same size. You can change your mind any time in Settings > General, where "What is sent" shows the full list.

What is sent, if you say yes. What happens in your runs: the cards, champions and relics offered and picked, the cards played, raids and how they end, buildings, events and the answers you chose, shop purchases, scores, how long sessions and runs last, and which menus you open. Also the game's frame rate and errors, your computer at the level of Steam's hardware survey (operating system, graphics card and its memory, processor cores, memory, screen size and refresh rate, number of monitors), your game settings and the game's language. The server adds the two-letter country your request came from, nothing finer.

What is never sent. Your name, Steam account or Steam ID, IP address, device ID, computer or user name, anything you type, file paths, screenshots, logs or save files. A random number, made the moment you say yes, stands in for your install.

Why. To balance and fix the game based on how people actually play it.

Legal basis. Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time in Settings; nothing is sent after that.

Where it goes and who sees it. To a server of the game's own on Cloudflare, stored in the EU (Cloudflare R2, EU jurisdiction). Only I read it. Cloudflare stores it on my behalf as a processor. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and never shared with anyone else.

How long. Raw data is deleted after 24 months. What I learn from it is kept only as anonymous totals.

Erasing it. "Forget my data" in Settings deletes everything sent from your install and turns sharing off. You can also email me the number shown in Settings and I'll delete it.

Children. The game is not meant for children under 16. Please don't turn on play data for a child.

Sire, We Must Redraw!: feedback reports

Pressing F8 in a run (or the bug button) opens a report you fill in yourself. It is sent only when you press Send, and contains what you choose: your message, an optional contact, a screenshot you can draw on, the game's recent log, basic system information and, if you switch it on, your current run's save. If play data is on, the report also carries your install's random number and the run's, so the bug can be matched to what happened.

Reports go through a server of the game's own to a private channel on Discord that only I can read, so Discord's privacy policy applies to their storage. Legal basis: your consent, given by sending it (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). I delete a report once the problem is dealt with, and at the latest after 24 months. Email me if you want one deleted sooner.

Community pages

Each game has a Discord server, and Saltrain Games is on TikTok, Bluesky, X and Steam (as a curator). Anything you post there is visible to the other people on that page and to me, and I may moderate it (remove posts, mute or ban accounts) to keep the place friendly. Those platforms run their own services under their own privacy policies; I see only what they show any page owner. Legal basis: legitimate interest in running these communities (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Data outside the EU

Cloudflare, Discord and Purelymail are based in the United States, so data handled by them can be processed there. Cloudflare and Discord are certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, which the EU recognises as giving adequate protection (Art. 45 GDPR); otherwise transfers rely on the EU's standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 GDPR). Sire's play data is the exception: it is stored only in the EU.

A few things that apply to all of it

Always optional. You never have to give me any data. Not sharing play data or not sending a report changes nothing in the game.

No automated decisions. Nothing here is used to profile you or to make decisions about you automatically.

Never sold. No data is ever sold, rented or used for advertising.

Children. The site and the games are not aimed at children under 16, and I don't knowingly collect data from them. If you think a child has sent me something, write to me and I'll delete it.

Security. Everything travels encrypted (HTTPS), and only I have access to what's stored.

Your rights

You can ask what I hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, get a copy, withdraw consent, or object to how it's used. Write to contact@saltraingames.com; I'll answer within one month. For play data, include the number shown in the game's Settings, since that's the only way to find your data. You can also complain to your data protection authority; in Austria that's the Datenschutzbehörde.

Changes

This is version 2 of this policy; the date at the bottom shows when it last changed. If what a game collects ever changes, the game asks you again before sending anything new.
