Privacy Policy
Tiny RTS is a browser game. This page explains what data the site stores, why it is stored, and what has been reduced or avoided on purpose.
What We Store
- Account data you provide, such as username, password hash, and optional recovery email.
- Session cookies used to keep you logged in.
- A device cookie for guest accounts so the same browser can return to the same guest profile.
- Gameplay and profile data such as wins, published maps, match history, and map votes.
- Tutorial analytics events, stored per tutorial attempt rather than as a long-lived browser analytics profile.
What We Log
- Client error reports sent by the game when a browser-side error occurs.
- Those error logs may include the reported message, stack trace, a coarse browser summary, and a hashed form of the source IP for abuse and debugging analysis.
- We avoid storing raw client IP addresses in routine client error logs.
What We Do Not Do
- No installer, launcher, browser extension, or native background process.
- No modification of operating system settings, browser security settings, firewall rules, HOSTS files, or registry settings on player devices.
- No third-party QR invite service for lobby links. QR invites are generated locally by Tiny RTS.
- No advertising network, pop-up adware, or bundled software distribution.
Cookies And Guest Accounts
Tiny RTS uses cookies for login sessions and guest account continuity. The guest device cookie exists so players can return to the same guest account from the same browser. It is part of the game's account behavior, not a separate advertising tracker.
Tutorial Analytics
Tutorial analytics are used to understand which steps players complete, where they get stuck, and whether the tutorial is working. These analytics are now tied to individual tutorial attempts instead of a separate long-lived browser analytics ID.
Recovery Emails
If you add a recovery email, it is used for account recovery and verification flows. Password reset emails are only sent when a verified recovery email exists for the account.
Sharing And External Links
The site links to external services such as Discord, Twitter/X, and Pixel Frog's asset page. If you open those links, those services apply their own policies. Tiny RTS no longer sends lobby invite links to a third-party QR service.
Contact
If you have a privacy or security question, use the public contact points linked from the site or the project's community channels.
