Privacy Policy

The StoneSiege game

StoneSiege does not include user accounts, advertising, cross-site or cross-app tracking, social features, or in-app purchases. It reports anonymous gameplay statistics about app launches, menu screens visited, matches started, resumed, and ended, and campaign chapters completed. Depending on the event, this includes the outcome, duration, civilisation, difficulty, map size, opponent count, game mode, scenario, campaign and chapter, age reached, units killed and lost, peak population, platform, and app version.

Gameplay reporting goes to a service operated for StoneSiege, not to Google Analytics. It uses no cookies and no persistent person or device identifier. A session-scoped random ID is discarded when the app or browser tab closes. A separate random match ID joins the start and end of one match and is not used to identify a player. None of these values is linked to a name, account, advertising identifier, or activity outside StoneSiege. You can turn reporting off entirely under Settings → Share anonymous gameplay stats, available from the menu and the in-game pause screen. With it off no gameplay analytics request is sent. The game remains fully playable offline either way.

Gameplay events are encrypted in transit, stored in MongoDB, and hosted using Railway and MongoDB Atlas infrastructure acting on our behalf. The service does not store IP addresses. Infrastructure providers may process IP addresses and basic request information briefly as necessary to route, secure, and operate the service. Raw gameplay events are retained for up to two years and then deleted automatically.

Information stored on your device

Campaign progress, saved matches, and game settings are stored locally on your device. Other than the anonymous event fields described above, their contents do not leave your device. You can remove them by clearing StoneSiege's local storage or uninstalling the game.

This website

stonesiegegame.com offers optional Google Analytics 4 for aggregate website traffic: pages visited, approximate location, referral source, and browser or device category. Google Analytics is not loaded unless you select Accept analytics. If you reject it, no Google Analytics request is made and no Google Analytics cookie is set. If you accept it, Google Analytics sets first-party cookies including names that begin with _ga. Your choice is stored in local storage so the site can remember it.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Analytics settings button. Withdrawing updates Google Consent Mode to deny analytics storage and deletes accessible Google Analytics cookies. Advertising storage, Google Signals, ad personalisation, and cross-site tracking remain disabled. Our website hosting provider may process basic technical request information, such as IP address, browser information, and request logs, as necessary to deliver and secure the website.

Google for optional website analytics

When you accept website analytics, website traffic information is processed by Google Analytics on our behalf as a data processor acting on our instructions. Gameplay statistics are not sent to Google. Nothing is sold, and Google Analytics is not used for advertising or activity across other apps or websites. Google's handling of data is described in its privacy policy.
