Privacy policy

In this policy, "we" means ReaverGames Ltd, which developed Runewards, released it in 2018, and operates the game and this website today. This policy describes how the game handles your data now, and it replaces the policy published in 2018.

This policy covers the game client, the game servers and this website. It does not cover other sites you may reach from links here, and we cannot control what those sites do. By using the game or the site, you agree to the current version of this policy.

To run an account and a match, the server needs and keeps the following:

• Your account details: username, email address, and a password stored as a hash, never as text we can read.
• Game data: your collection, decks, hero levels, quest and campaign progress, and match results.
• Connection data: your IP address and the time of a login, which the server records as part of keeping the account secure.
• Crash and error reports generated automatically by the client when something fails, which may include information about your system.

Account and game data are used to provide the game: to sign you in, to keep your collection and progress, to match you against another player, and to fix faults. Connection data is used to run and secure the service.

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone for marketing. We will send you email about the game only where you have asked for it, or where it concerns your own account, such as confirming your address or resetting your password.

We may disclose data where a court order or the law requires it.

We will not knowingly collect personal information from anyone aged 12 or under. If you are a parent and believe your child has created an account, contact us at [contact address] and it will be removed.

This website sets a cookie when you sign in, so that you stay signed in as you move between pages. It is used for that and nothing else. There are no advertising cookies and no third-party tracking pixels on this site.

[If any analytics is used, name the tool here and say what it records. If none is used, say so plainly — that is the stronger statement.]

The game client stores your settings and a local copy of game content on your computer so that it does not have to download them again.

Some information is visible to the person you are playing against, and to anyone else you interact with in the game. Your username and your visible match information are part of playing a game against another person.

Anything you type in a public function of the game should be treated as public. We are not able to keep private something you have chosen to tell other players.

The server is self-hosted. Access to the database is restricted, passwords are stored as hashes, and traffic between the client and the server is encrypted. No system is perfect, and we will tell you if something happens that affects your account.

Your data is kept for as long as your account exists. If you ask us to delete the account, the account and its game data are removed.

You can ask to see what the account holds, correct it, or have it deleted. Write to [contact address] from the address on the account. We may decline requests that are repetitive, would need disproportionate effort, or would affect somebody else’s privacy.

Where you have opted in to email about the game, every message includes a way to stop receiving them.

This policy is current as of the revision date above. If it changes, the new version is published on this page, and the revision date changes with it.

Questions or complaints about this policy, or about how the game handles your data: [contact address].
