Anonymous game stats. To balance the game and fix bugs, FATEDRAWN sends anonymous game statistics: battle results (faction, deck, cards played, win or loss, Chest Currency earned, your daily meter, how many clicks or taps each turn took, cards you put back, moves that were not allowed, which cards and keywords you looked up, and where a battle stood when you left it), how you built your deck (Autofill or by hand, how long the deck builder was open, how many new cards you got and put in your deck), how far you got in the tutorial and Runs, and error messages. It does not send your name, email, IP-based location or anything you type. Each player gets a random ID that is stored only in your browser.
You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Share anonymous game stats.
Anonymous first-steps count. When the game starts on a new device, it counts how many players reach the first steps (start, opening battle, intro, hero and faction choice, the question about game stats, each tutorial lesson, opening the deck builder, the first Run, coming back on a later day), so we can see where new players stop. Only the step, the game version, the website and the kind of device (phone, tablet or computer) are sent: no ID, no device model, no language, no time of day. Each step is counted once per device. This count cannot be linked to a player.
Online backup of your progress. Your progress (save) is stored in your browser, and a copy is backed up online under a random backup code (Settings → Online backup). Only someone with that code can restore the backup; the code itself is not stored in the database (only a scrambled version of it). The backup contains your game progress only (cards, decks, settings), no name or email. Turning Online backup off deletes the online copy. You can also use Settings → Save → EXPORT to make a save code yourself.
Version check. When the game runs outside the itch.io page (its own tab or a home screen icon), it asks the database which version is the newest, so an old address can offer the update. Nothing about you is sent.
The data is stored in a database in the EU (Supabase, Frankfurt) and is only used to improve FATEDRAWN.
