Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Kaldreth mobile game (the "Game"), published by Pseudo Playgrounds ("we", "us"), handles information when you play. By installing or playing the Game you agree to the practices described here.

Kaldreth is an offline-first idle RPG. Your game progress is stored on your device and, if you choose to sign in, in your Google Play cloud save. The Game does not need a server to play and we do not maintain user accounts. The one service we run ourselves carries the optional rankings and the messages from the developer, both described below.

Information We and Our Partners Process

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The Game offers optional rewarded ads. Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which may collect and process device and advertising identifiers (including your Advertising ID), IP address, and ad-interaction data to serve and measure ads. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland we present a consent request before personalized ads are used; you can change or withdraw your choice at any time via Settings → Privacy → Manage Ad Privacy in the Game. See Google's Privacy & Terms and the AdMob data disclosure.

Google Play Games Services

If you sign in, Google Play Games Services provides authentication and cloud saving of your characters. This involves your Google Play player identifier and the save data you generate. Sign-in is optional; the Game is fully playable without it. See Google's Privacy Policy.

In-App Purchases (Google Play Billing)

Purchases (such as the Warden's Mark) are processed by Google Play Billing. We receive confirmation that a purchase was made so we can grant the item; we never receive or store your payment card or billing details.

Bug Reports

If you use the in-app "Report a Bug" feature, the text you write, the app version, your operating-system name, the state of the in-game ads and details of the character you are playing (its name, game mode, levels and progress, and what it is currently doing) are sent to our own service, hosted by Cloudflare, so we can read and act on your report. If the character appears in the rankings, the report is linked to its rankings entry so that we can reply to it in the Game. Your IP address is handled as described under Rankings below: it is not stored. Please do not include personal information in bug descriptions.

Versions of the Game before 1.6.7 send only the text, the app version and the operating-system name, through Formspree.

Rankings

The Game has rankings that compare characters. While Settings → Rankings → Appear in the rankings is on, the Game sends the following for each of your characters to our rankings service, where it is shown publicly to other players and may be shown on kaldreth.com:

Each character is identified by a random code the Game creates. It is not your Google account, your Advertising ID or any device identifier, and it is not linked to them. The rankings service is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes your IP address to deliver each request. We do not store your IP address; to limit abuse we keep only a scrambled value derived from it that changes every day and cannot be turned back into the address.

Do not use a name that identifies you. We may remove a name or an entry that is offensive or that reports false results. If you report another character's entry, the report records which entry it was and the reason.

Turning the setting off stops the Game from sending anything and deletes the entries of every character on that device. Deleting a character deletes its entry. A hardcore character that is retired after falling keeps a memorial entry (its name and the level it reached) until you turn the setting off. After an entry is deleted we keep a minimal record of its random code with no name and no results, holding only whether its name had been changed, removed or the entry blocked, so that those decisions cannot be undone by deleting and starting again.

Messages from the Developer

We can send short messages to players, such as a notice that a new version is out, which the Game shows on a card and keeps under Settings → Messages. To read them the Game asks the same service that runs the rankings, and sends the version of the Game you have installed so that a notice about a new version reaches only players who do not have it yet. We do not store that version.

While Settings → Rankings → Appear in the rankings is on, the request also carries your character's random code, so that a message we wrote to that one character (for example a reply about a problem you reported) reaches it and nobody else. We record when such a message was first read by the Game. With the setting off, the request carries no code and the Game reads only messages written to every player. As with the rankings, Cloudflare processes your IP address to deliver the request and we do not store it. Messages are only shown to you: they cannot be answered from the Game and nothing you write is sent.

Local Game Data

Your characters, progress, settings, and purchase entitlement are stored locally on your device (save files are encrypted). Uninstalling the Game removes local data; deleting a character removes that character's data.

What We Do Not Collect

How Information Is Shared

Information is processed only by the service providers described above (Google AdMob, Google Play Games Services, Google Play Billing, Cloudflare for the rankings, messages and bug reports, and Formspree for bug reports from versions before 1.6.7), each acting under its own privacy policy. Rankings entries are public, as described above. We do not share data with any other third parties except where required by law.

Children

Kaldreth is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will address it.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, personalized advertising is served only with your consent, and you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal. Non-personalized ads may still be shown after you withdraw.

If you need help exercising these rights, contact us at the address in the Contact section below.

Data Retention & Your Choices

Security

Local save files are encrypted on your device. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
