Privacy & cookies
What we collect, why, and how you stay in control. In short: only what the game needs, no ads, no trackers, no selling data.
Who we are
Tilevale is an early-access game run by an independent developer. For any privacy question or request, use the contact address at the bottom of this page.
What we collect
Account: your email address, username, display name and password. Passwords and recovery codes are stored only as one-way hashes.
What you create: contributions to the shared world, chat messages, moments, likes, follows and saved events, plus your avatar look and preferences.
Activity: the days you were active, daily treasure finds, contest results and notifications.
Safety: hashed sign-in session tokens, short-term rate-limit counters that may include your IP address, and a log of security-relevant actions.
Visits: an anonymous daily count of visitors, made from a hash of your IP address and browser that changes every day, so visits can't be linked across days.
Why we use it
To run your account and the shared world (performance of our agreement with you), to keep players safe and stop abuse, and to understand in aggregate whether people enjoy the game (our legitimate interests). We don't show ads, use third-party trackers or sell personal data.
What others can see
Your username, display name, avatar, moments, contributions and approved chat messages are visible to other players. Your email address and password never are.
Where it's stored and for how long
Data is stored on servers operated by our hosting provider. We keep it while your account exists. When you delete your account, your personal data is erased straight away and removed from backups within 30 days. Contributions to the shared world stay in place under an anonymous name.
Your rights
You can see and change most of your data in the game, and delete your account at any time in Settings. You can also ask us for a copy of your data, a correction, or to stop a use you object to. You can complain to your data protection authority (in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Authority, KVKK).
Age
Tilevale is for people aged 13 and over. If you believe a younger child has an account, contact us and we'll remove it.
Cookies
We only use cookies the site needs to work: one_session keeps you signed in (up to 30 days) and one_locale remembers your language (one year). An unfinished guest build may be kept in your browser's session storage until you close the tab. There are no analytics or advertising cookies, so there's nothing to opt out of.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and tell you in the game about important changes.
A contact address will be published here before public launch.
