1. Data Collection
Idle Guild is a browser-based game that stores your game progress locally in your browser's storage by default. If you choose to enable optional cloud saves, we collect and store your email address and game save data to provide cross-device synchronization.
2. Local Storage
Your game progress is saved in your browser's local storage by default. This data remains on your device and is not shared with us or any third parties. You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's storage or using the reset function in the game.
3. Cloud Saves (Optional)
We offer optional cloud save functionality powered by Supabase, allowing you to sync your progress across devices. If you choose to create an account:
- We collect your email address for authentication purposes
- Your game save data is encrypted and stored securely on Supabase servers
- We use Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection during account creation
- You can delete your cloud save data at any time through the game settings
Cloud saves are entirely optional. You can continue playing with local saves only if you prefer.
