Privacy policy
Short version: CRYTHIUM is a game, not a data-collection operation. We store as little as possible, on your machine where possible, and we don't sell or trade anything about you. The longer version follows.
Who we are
CRYTHIUM is developed and published by REDFLARE Game Studios, Netherlands. For anything privacy-related, contact info@redflare.nl.
What the game stores
- Locally on your device: save games, custom levels made in the editor, settings and control preferences. This data never leaves your machine unless you share it yourself.
- No account is required to play. We do not collect names, e-mail addresses or profiles through the game.
- When distributed via Steam, Steam's own services (achievements, cloud saves, community features) are governed by Valve's privacy policy, not ours.
Multiplayer
Online matches technically require exchanging connection information (such as IP addresses) between the participating players to establish the session. This information is used only to run the match and is not stored by us afterwards.
Telemetry & statistics
If and when the global war-statistics service goes live, it will report aggregated, anonymous gameplay counters only (e.g. total battles fought). No personal data, no per-player tracking without explicit opt-in, and the statistics page will state exactly what is counted.
This website
- No analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising and no cookies set by us.
- Devblog videos are embedded click-to-play via YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode — no request is sent to YouTube until you press play. From that point YouTube's (Google's) privacy policy applies.
- Server access logs (IP address, requested page, timestamp) may be kept briefly by our hosting provider for security and abuse prevention, then discarded.
Children
The game and website are not directed at children under 13 and we knowingly collect no data from them — which is easy, because we knowingly collect almost no data from anyone.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us what data we hold about you, and ask for correction or deletion. Given the above, the honest answer will usually be "nothing", but you can always ask via info@redflare.nl.
Changes
If this policy changes — for example when multiplayer services or telemetry launch — the new version appears here with an updated date.
