Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Chronoromancer Studio ("we", "us") is committed to respecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how it is handled.

What We Collect

When you launch Chronoromancer or load a save file, the game sends a small, anonymous ping to our private server. This ping contains:

• A random session ID — generated fresh every time you launch the game. It is not stored between sessions and cannot be used to identify you.
• Game version — which version of the game you are playing.
• Operating system — Windows, Linux, Mac, or Android.
• In-game progress data — such as your current in-game day, era, character class, and redeemed codes.
• A one-way hash of your character name — your character's name is scrambled using a cryptographic function before being sent. The original name cannot be recovered from this hash. This is used only to help group anonymous sessions together for analytics.

Detailed Gameplay Statistics

The game collects rudimentary anonymous gameplay statistics for development purposes. This data helps the developers understand which systems players engage with most, identify balance issues, and prioritize future content. All statistics are viewed only as aggregate totals and averages — no statistic is linked to any individual player.

These statistics will also be used to power future features, including opt-in leaderboards and in-game achievement awards.

Anonymous statistics collected include:

Combat & Exploration

• Enemies defeated and bosses beaten
• Dungeon steps taken and flee attempts
• Back alley searches and break-and-enter attempts
• Locations visited

Character Progression

• Equipment levels (armor, sword, ranged, grimoire, outfits)
• Key items collected
• Character proficiency class
• Current crystal balance

Social & Story

• Current story beat reached
• NPCs with maxed relationships
• Intimate conversations completed

Brothel Management

• Workers recruited
• Training sessions completed
• Brothel ownership status

Minigames & Activities

• Space Invaders wins
• Band Hero high scores
• Poker winnings

Extras Gallery

• Overall gallery completion percentage
• Whether the gallery has been fully completed

• Time spent in dungeons and Kupie's realm
• Total playtime and longest session

Miscellaneous

• Caterpillars clicked
• Baths taken
• Meals cooked
• Christmas gifts given
• Whether the Void Leviathan has been caught

Internal Integrity

• Whether the game session was a fresh launch or a save load
• Which crystal redemption codes have been entered
• An anonymous identifier used to group sessions from the same game installation — this helps us understand play patterns across multiple characters without identifying any individual
• Internal consistency checks used to detect corrupted or tampered save files

All data exists only as anonymous numbers in a private database. There is no way to determine who any individual statistic belongs to.

What We Do NOT Collect

• Your real name, email address, or any account information
• Your IP address (while used to establish the connection, it is not stored in our database)
• Device IDs, hardware fingerprints, or any persistent identifiers
• Location data
• Any information from outside the game

Why We Collect This Data

This anonymous telemetry serves two purposes:

• Understanding our players — knowing how many people play, how far they progress, and which features they engage with helps us prioritize development.
• Identifying unauthorized copies — internal variables help us detect pirated or tampered versions of the game.

How Data Is Stored

All data is transmitted via encrypted HTTPS to a private database. It is never shared with, sold to, or accessible by any third party.

No Persistent Tracking

We do not use cookies, browser fingerprinting, advertising trackers, or any form of persistent identification. Each game session generates a completely new, random session ID that is discarded when you close the game. There is no way to link sessions to a specific person.

Your Rights

Because the data we collect is genuinely anonymous and cannot be linked to any individual, it falls outside the scope of most data protection regulations (including GDPR Recital 26). However, we believe in transparency and have published this policy voluntarily.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change what data we collect, this page will be updated accordingly.
