Privacy

Only while Play data is on (the question at first launch, or Options). For each level or match you play:

• the puzzle board you played (its tiles, colors and crystals)
• your moves: each tile click, undo and hint, and when in the attempt it happened
• how it ended (solved, quit, timed out, won or lost) and how long it took
• for matches, whether it was against the computer or online, the computer's difficulty, and the opponent's hat (never who the opponent was)
• in online matches, which hat abilities were used on you and by you, and when

With each play session: a random install ID made by the game on your PC (not tied to you or your Steam account), a random session ID, the session's start time, the game version, and your operating system's name, such as "Windows".

• your name, Steam ID, Steam friends or profile
• anything you say or type, including voice chat
• your IP address or location (the server doesn't store them)
• anything about your PC beyond the operating system's name

To balance the game: to see which levels are really hard, to tune the computer opponent, and to balance the hat abilities. It's used for nothing else. It's never sold, shared for advertising, or used to track you.

The game sends it over an encrypted connection to storage run by Cloudflare, in North America. Like any web service, Cloudflare sees your IP address while it delivers the upload, but Gooney's server doesn't keep it. The developer downloads the data to analyze it.

Uploaded data is deleted from storage automatically after 90 days. Copies the developer has downloaded are kept as long as they're useful for balancing the game.

• To stop it: Options → Play data → Sharing: Off. Nothing more is recorded or sent from then on.
• On your PC: while sharing is on, the game saves the play data it records in %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Gooney 1v1\telemetry and deletes it there once it has been sent. You can delete that folder at any time.
• Data already sent: it has no name or account attached, so the developer can't tell which of it is yours and can't find it to delete on request. It's removed from storage after 90 days.

Gooney runs on Steam. Valve handles your Steam account, purchases and online matchmaking under Valve's privacy policy. Gooney's play data never includes your Steam account.

If what's collected ever changes, this page is updated first and its date changes. Collecting anything new would only happen after you agree again in the game.
