This policy covers the game Powder & Steel, the website powderandsteel.online and its forum. They are made by Igor Shenshin, an independent developer ("we"). Contact: support@powderandsteel.online.
The game
The game does not collect or send any personal data. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no online features of its own. Your saves and settings stay on your computer, in the game's user folder.
If you get the game on Steam, Valve handles your purchase, your Steam account, achievements and cloud saves under the Steam Privacy Policy. We only see the anonymous sales and usage reports that Steam gives every developer.
The website
The website does not use analytics, ads or tracking cookies. It is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type to deliver pages and stop attacks. Cloudflare does this under its own privacy policy.
A test build of the game on the website is protected by a password. If you enter it, the site sets one cookie so it does not ask again. The cookie holds no personal data.
The forum
Anyone can read the forum. To post, you sign in with Steam or Discord. We never see your password or email. From that account we store:
- its ID, so we know it is you next time;
- its public name and avatar picture;
- what you post and when;
- a sign-in cookie that keeps you logged in.
Posts are public. Moderators can hide posts and block accounts that break the forum rules.
Your choices
You can ask us to delete your forum account and posts, or to tell you what we store about you. Write to support@powderandsteel.online, or in the Feedback & Bugs section of the forum. We answer within 30 days.
We don't sell or share your data with anyone. We keep forum data while the forum runs or until you ask us to delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update this page and the date at the top.
