Short version

Ageforge has no accounts, no ads and no tracking. Your realm stays on your device (and, in the iPhone app, in your own iCloud if you’re signed in). The game counts what players do as anonymous daily totals, and sends anonymous crash reports, so it can be made better. Nothing it sends can tell who you are.

Your game stays yours

The battle in progress, your campaign stars and best times, records, Daily Battle streak, banners, faction and settings are saved in the browser’s storage on this device (in the iPhone app, the app’s own copy of it). In the iPhone app a second copy is kept in the app’s native storage, so your progress survives if iOS clears web storage to free up space. None of it is uploaded to us.

In the iPhone app, if you’re signed in to iCloud, the same progress is also kept in your own iCloud, so it follows you to your other iPhone or iPad. That copy lives in your iCloud account with Apple; we never see it. You can switch it off in Settings → iCloud. Deleting the app, or clearing this site’s data in your browser, deletes the copy on that device.

Anonymous daily counts

To learn which battles are too hard and which features get used, the game adds 1 to daily totals such as:

• the game was opened, and how many days since this device first opened it (in ranges like “4–7 days”);
• how long a session lasted (in ranges like “5–15 minutes”);
• the game’s language and the kind of device (phone, tablet, desktop);
• the tutorial steps reached or skipped;
• battles started and finished by mode (Campaign, Skirmish, Daily Battle), won or lost, how long they took (in ranges), the age your realm reached and how many rivals there were;
• each campaign battle won for the first time, how much play it took (in ranges), and battles that take a long time to win;
• the Daily Battle streak (in ranges), banners unlocked, and features used (settings turned on or off, the game speed, the language picker);
• the unlock card for the Full Realm: opened, closed, and whether a purchase or restore went through;
• game updates checked, downloaded and applied (the iPhone app), and how many errors happened.

Each count also carries the platform (web or iPhone app) and the week this device first opened the game, which many players share. There is no device, player or purchase ID, and no exact time: our server only keeps totals per day. Your IP address is used for a moment to limit how often a device can send, and is never stored.

Crash data

When something in the game breaks, it sends the technical error message and code location, with anything you typed removed, plus which version of the game was running. At most a few reports a day, with no ID of any kind. They are stored as daily totals per error.

Game updates

The iPhone app can fix itself between App Store versions by downloading new game files from our server. To check for them it sends only which update channel it follows (test or public), the app’s build number and the version of its game files. Nothing else, and no ID.

Purchases

The Full Realm is bought through Apple’s App Store; Apple handles the payment, and we never see your name, Apple ID or payment details. The app uses RevenueCat to check that the unlock is yours and to restore it. RevenueCat keeps a record of the purchase under a random, anonymous ID it creates in the app, not linked to your name or email. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy. If you ask Apple for a refund, RevenueCat tells Apple, for that purchase only, whether it was delivered, so Apple can decide; by buying in the app you agree to this.

Our host, Cloudflare

The game and its small server run on Cloudflare. Like any website host, Cloudflare logs requests (such as the IP address, the browser, and the time) to run and protect its network, under Cloudflare’s privacy policy. We don’t keep those logs, and we don’t use them to identify anyone.

Children, ads and third parties

Ageforge shows no ads, has no chat or social features, and uses no third-party analytics or advertising tools. It doesn’t collect personal information from anyone, children included. We don’t sell or share data.
