Privacy policy
Skyvar Idle is an online game made by Quiet Anvil Games ("we"). This page explains what we collect when you play the game or visit skyvaridle.com, why, how long we keep it, and what you can ask us to do with it. We keep this short and plain on purpose. If anything is unclear, email support@skyvaridle.com.
What we collect
- Your account. Your Steam account ID (when you play through Steam) or the account name you chose, and the character name other players see. If you have an account name and password, we store only a salted hash of the password, never the password itself.
- Your game data. Your character's progress, items, coins, guild, friends, trades and similar game state, which the server needs to run the game.
- Chat. Messages you send in World, Local, Guild and Private chat, so we can moderate abuse.
- Server logs. When you connect, the server records your IP address, logins, and the game actions you take (for example "started mining" or "bought an item"), with times. We use these to keep the game secure, stop cheating and spam, investigate bugs and understand how the game is played.
- Feedback and bug reports. What you write in the Feedback box, your character's state and recent actions, and, unless you untick it, a picture of your game screen.
- Email. If you email us, your address and message.
We don't use advertising, tracking cookies or analytics services, and the website sets no cookies. We don't collect payment details: purchases happen through Steam, under Valve's privacy policy.
Who can see it
- Other players see your character name, what you're doing, your level, your guild, chat you send to them, leaderboards and what you list in Trade Halls.
- Our team and moderators can see game data, chat, logs and reports, only to run and moderate the game. Every moderator action is recorded.
- Service providers that host things for us: our game server and website run on Hetzner servers in the United States, and our email is routed through Cloudflare. They process data only to provide those services.
We don't sell your data or share it with anyone else, unless the law requires it.
How long we keep it
- Your account, game data and chat with friends: while your account exists.
- Server logs, including IP addresses and chat logs: 90 days.
- Feedback and bug reports: until they're resolved, and we keep only the most recent 1,000.
- Backups of game data: 14 days.
Your choices
You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, or delete your account and everything tied to it. Email support@skyvaridle.com from the address you want us to reply to, and tell us your character name. We'll answer within 30 days. Deleted data disappears from backups within 14 days.
Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California), you may have further rights under local law, such as objecting to processing or complaining to a data protection authority. We'll honour them.
Children
Skyvar Idle isn't aimed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email us and we'll delete it.
Security
The game and website use encrypted connections, passwords are stored only as hashes, and access to the server is limited to our team. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable care.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell players in the game.
