Privacy Notice
Exfiltrate is made by starry, an individual based in the United Kingdom (“I”, “me”). I am responsible for any personal data described here. Contact: [email protected] or @starry2023 on X.
The short version
You do not need an account. The game does not use cookies, does not show ads and sends nothing about your play to any server. Visits are counted anonymously, without cookies. Your progress stays in your own browser.
What is stored in your browser
The game uses your browser’s local storage to keep two things on your device: the save for the run you are playing, and an archive across runs (how many runs you have played, which endings and hidden events you have reached). It may also store the name you gave your AI and the optional “who is playing” label. This data never leaves your device unless you copy or share it yourself. You can delete it at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings. I cannot see it and cannot recover it for you.
Hosting
The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type to deliver the page and protect it from attacks. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy. I do not receive or keep these logs for any other purpose.
Sharing and feedback on X
The “Share on X” and “Feedback” buttons open X (formerly Twitter) in a new tab with text you can edit before posting. Nothing is posted unless you post it. Once you are on X, X’s own privacy policy applies.
Visitor statistics
I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages, countries and kinds of device they come from. It does not use cookies or local storage, does not track you across sites and does not identify you. My lawful basis is my legitimate interest in understanding how the game is used.
If you write to me, I use your email address and message only to reply, and delete them when they are no longer needed.
Age
The game is meant for people aged 16 and over. It does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask what personal data I hold about you, ask me to correct or delete it, and object to its use. Write to me at the address above. If you are unhappy with my answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If this notice changes, I will update the date at the top. If a change means data starts leaving your device, I will say so in the game before it happens.
