Privacy policy

Short version: Garrison Zero collects no personal data, and this website collects none beyond the standard server logs described below. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking by us.

Who we are

Altered Realms is an independent game studio and the developer of Garrison Zero. You can reach us at contact@alteredrealms.com.

The game

  • No telemetry to us. Garrison Zero doesn't send analytics, crash reports or any other data to Altered Realms. Unity's optional analytics, diagnostics and cloud services are switched off in the game's settings, and the game contains no analytics code of its own.
  • Game engine statistics. The Unity engine the game is built with may send anonymous hardware statistics (for example graphics card, processor, memory and operating system) to Unity Technologies. This contains no names or account information; Unity's player privacy policy covers it.
  • Local saves. Your campaign progress and settings are stored on your PC in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Altered Realms\Garrison Zero.
  • Steam features. Achievements and Steam Cloud saves are provided by Valve through your Steam account. Steam Cloud copies your campaign progress file (progress.json) to Valve's servers so it follows you between PCs; display and graphics settings stay on each PC. Valve's privacy policy covers that data; we can't see it.
  • Benchmark reports. The built-in benchmark saves its report in Documents\Garrison Zero\Benchmarks. Reports contain hardware details (graphics card, processor, memory, Windows version, display settings) and frame-rate results, but no names or account information. They only leave your PC if you choose to send one to us.

This website

  • No cookies, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels, and nothing loaded from other companies' servers.
  • Like any web server, our hosting provider automatically logs basic request data (IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time) to keep the site secure and running. We don't use these logs to identify visitors, and they're kept only as long as the provider needs them for that purpose.
  • Links to Steam take you to Valve's website, which has its own privacy policy.

Emailing us

If you write to us, we use your email address and message only to reply. We don't add you to mailing lists, and we delete the conversation on request.

Children

Apart from the standard server logs described above, we don't collect personal data from anyone, children included.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or UK GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data held about you. The only personal data we could hold is email you've sent us and the short-lived server logs described above; contact us and we'll help.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
