Privacy policy

Draft, not yet in force. Last changed 27 September 2026.

The short version

• Without an account, nothing about you or your games leaves your device.
• With an account, we keep your username, your games, and a few facts about the devices you sign in on, so your games follow you.
• We keep no email address, no real name, no location, and no advertising or tracking data. There are no ads.
• You can delete your account, and everything in it, from the game at any time.

Who we are

Kingsmend Idle is made by [name of the developer or company]. Questions about this policy: [contact email].

Playing without an account

The game saves on your device. In the Steam app, Steam Cloud may also keep a copy of your saves between your own computers; that is Steam's service, under Steam's privacy policy.

When you open the Mod store, the game fetches the list of mods from play.kingsmend.com. That request carries nothing about you or your games; like any visit to a website, Cloudflare, which serves the list, sees your internet address. We do not keep it. Links to the wiki open wiki.kingsmend.com in your browser.

What we keep when you make an account

• Your username, which you choose.
• Your password, only as a one-way scrambled form (a hash). We cannot read it.
• Your games: the saves you play while signed in, their names, and a short summary (total level, coins, holdings restored). We keep up to 30 older copies of each game, so a mistake can be undone.
• Your devices: a name for each device you sign in on, such as "Chrome on Mac" or "iPhone app", and when it was last used. You can see and remove them in the game.
• If you link Steam: your Steam account's number (Steam ID), and whether that Steam account owns the game. We ask Steam for this; we never see your Steam password.
• If you buy the full game on a phone: Apple or Google handle the payment. RevenueCat, the service we use to check phone purchases, keeps the purchase record under your account's id number. We keep only whether your account has the full game.

Your internet address is used for a short time to stop abuse, such as someone guessing passwords. It is not kept.

Why we keep it

Only to run the game's cloud saves: to keep your games the same on every device you sign in on, to open the full game you bought, and to keep the service safe from abuse.

Who else sees it

We do not sell or share your information. These services handle part of it for us:

• [server hosting company], which runs our cloud save server;
• Cloudflare, which carries the traffic to our addresses (kingsmend.com), serves the game's website, and stores our encrypted backups (Cloudflare R2);
• Steam (Valve), when you link Steam;
• Apple, Google and RevenueCat, when you buy on a phone.

How long we keep it

As long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your username, games and devices are deleted at once. Backups of the server (at Cloudflare R2, and a daily copy on the server) are kept for at most 7 days, so the last copies are gone within a week.

Deleting your account

In the game, on the title screen: Cloud saves, then Devices, then Delete the cloud account. Games on your devices stay on them. You can also write to [contact email].

Mods

Mods you install run inside the game with the game's own access. A mod can read what the game can, including your cloud sign-in. Install only mods you trust.

Children

The game does not ask for any personal details beyond a username. An account is never needed to play.
