Privacy, in plain words.

Circle Kingdom works without an account. Your saved campaign and settings stay on your device or in your browser.

This website

circlekingdom.com is a static website served by Amazon Web Services. It does not set cookies, use advertising trackers, or run gameplay analytics. The artwork, fonts, and video are served from this site. Our hosting provider processes network information needed to deliver the pages. Links to the browser game and platform stores take you to those services; the game practices below apply when you play.

Optional gameplay analytics

Versions with Share analytics enabled send a small amount of gameplay information to Tiny Machines so we can improve difficulty, tools and expansions. This setting starts on and can be turned off in Settings, including during a paused battle. Turning it off stops collection, cancels pending uploads, and deletes the analytics identifier and unsent events on your device. Previously received events expire under the retention period below.

Events cover app sessions and time in the foreground, screens and expansion offers opened, battles started and completed, wins and losses, stars, selected tools, tutorial progress, assists and aggregate tactical actions. They also include expansion checkout or restore outcomes and ownership changes. We receive the platform, app version and distribution store.

Analytics uses randomly generated installation and session identifiers, separate from your store account. We do not collect your name, email, precise location, advertising identifier, hardware identifier, receipt, purchase token, payment details or a recording of your play. We do not sell analytics, use it for advertising, or combine it with information from other games to identify you.

Optional Game Center

On iOS, you can choose to connect Game Center to share this device’s saved achievement progress and campaign star totals with Apple. Apple associates these results with your Game Center account and displays them according to your Game Center privacy settings. Your campaign save stays on this device. The game uses your Game Center identifier and display name in memory while connected; it does not save them locally or send them to Tiny Machines analytics. You can manage your Game Center account in iOS Settings.

Purchases

Apple or Google processes in-app purchases under its own privacy policy. Circle Kingdom checks the relevant store to unlock and restore your expansions. Optional analytics reports the expansion name and the result of the operation, without store transaction identifiers or payment information.

Storage and retention

Analytics is sent over HTTPS to infrastructure operated for Tiny Machines using Amazon Web Services and our PostgreSQL database. Our internal dashboard accesses this data with a read-only account. Raw gameplay events and inactive sessions are removed after 180 days. Infrastructure providers necessarily process network addresses to deliver requests; the gameplay collector does not store them in the analytics database or log request bodies.

Unsent analytics is kept in a small, bounded local queue while offline. Gameplay never depends on an upload succeeding. Uninstalling the game or clearing browser storage removes local saves and preferences as well as local analytics data.
