Privacy Policy

Introduction

Cosmik Studios ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use Darkest Exiles ("the Game").

By using the Game, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

Darkest Exiles stores all game progress and save data locally on your device. This includes:

• Game progress and save states
• User preferences and settings
• In-game purchases history (synced with Apple)

We do not have access to this data. It remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Analytics Data

We use TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service, to collect anonymized usage data. This helps us understand how players interact with the Game and improve the experience. TelemetryDeck collects:

• Anonymous session information (no personal identifiers)
• General gameplay events (e.g., features used, progression milestones)
• Device type and operating system version
• App version

TelemetryDeck does not collect IP addresses, device identifiers, or any data that could personally identify you. For more information, visit TelemetryDeck's Privacy Policy.

No Account Required

Darkest Exiles does not require you to create an account. We do not collect:

• Names or email addresses
• Phone numbers
• Location data
• Payment information (handled entirely by Apple)

How We Use Information

The anonymized analytics data we collect is used to:

• Understand which features are most popular
• Identify and fix bugs or performance issues
• Improve game balance and user experience
• Plan future updates and content

Your Choices

Opting Out of Analytics

You can opt out of analytics data collection at any time through the Game's Settings menu. When opted out, no analytics data will be sent to TelemetryDeck.

Deleting Your Data

Since all game data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it by:

• Uninstalling the Game from your device
• Using the "Reset Progress" option in the Game's Settings (if available)

Analytics data collected before opting out is anonymized and cannot be linked to you or deleted on an individual basis.

Data Security

We prioritize the security of your information. Since we don't collect personal data and all game progress is stored locally, there is minimal risk of data breach affecting your personal information.

TelemetryDeck employs industry-standard security measures to protect the anonymized analytics data they process on our behalf.

Children's Privacy

Darkest Exiles is rated for players aged 12 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we don't collect personal data from any users, this applies to all age groups.

Third-Party Services

The Game may contain links to third-party services or integrate with:

• Apple App Store — For app distribution and in-app purchases
• TelemetryDeck — For anonymized analytics

These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

International Users

If you are accessing the Game from the European Union or other regions with data protection laws, please note that the anonymized analytics data may be processed in countries outside your jurisdiction. TelemetryDeck is GDPR-compliant and processes data in accordance with European data protection standards.
