Privacy policy
Last updated 6 November 2026
In short: we collect as little as possible. Your email is used only to tell you about Frontier, or to answer you if you send feedback. Visitor statistics are anonymous: no cookies, no tracking IDs, no IP addresses stored. We never sell or share your data for advertising.
Who we are
Frontier is an independent browser strategy game at play-frontier.com. For anything about your data, email [email protected].
What we collect, and why
| When | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You join the wishlist | Your email address, the date you signed up, your wishlist number | To confirm your sign-up and to email you when Frontier launches. That's it: no newsletters or marketing in between. |
| You sign in with Google | Your Google account ID, email address and name, the username you choose, your game settings, and your match results (wins, losses, times) | To give you an account: keep your settings across devices, record your results and show your username on the leaderboard. |
| You send feedback from the game | Your message, its type (bug, idea or other), the game version, your browser type (for example "chrome"), the time, and your email address only if you choose to give it | To read your report, fix bugs and improve the game, and to reply if you left an email. It is emailed to us so we see it quickly. |
| The game crashes | The error message, where in the game's code it happened, the game version and your browser type. Nothing about you, your device or your match | To find and fix bugs. Reports can't identify you. |
| You visit the site or play | Anonymous counts: how many people visited each day, where they came from (for example "tiktok"), the kind of device, browser and system, the browser's language, the country (as our network provider Cloudflare reports it) and the hour of the visit, matches started and finished, time played | To understand whether people find and enjoy the game. These counts can't identify you. |
We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, and we don't build profiles of you. Signing in is optional: you can always play as a guest.
Anonymous statistics
To count visitors without tracking anyone, your browser stores two dates in its local storage: the day of your first visit and of your last visit. It only sends us yes/no facts such as "first visit today", and our server adds these up. No cookies, no IP addresses and no visitor IDs are stored: from each visit the server only adds one to a few totals, such as "phone", "Chrome" or "Slovenia". Clearing your browser's site data removes the two dates.
The game also keeps your own choices in local storage (your setup, volume, graphics quality, and whether you've seen the tutorial and tips), so they're still there next time. These never leave your device.
Cookies
If you sign in, we set one cookie, frontier_session, to keep you signed in for up to 30 days. It is strictly necessary for the account to work and is never used for tracking. Without signing in, Frontier sets no cookies.
Who processes data for us
- Hetzner (Germany): hosts our server and the data on it.
- Cloudflare: protects the site and delivers it quickly. Like any network provider it handles your IP address in transit, but we don't receive or store it.
- Resend: sends our emails (the wishlist confirmation, the launch email, and copies of feedback to our own inbox).
- Google: only if you choose "Sign in with Google", under Google's privacy policy. We only receive your basic profile: ID, name and email.
We never sell your data, and we don't share it with anyone else unless the law requires it.
How long we keep it
- Wishlist email: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. After launch we keep it only if you stay subscribed.
- Account: until you ask us to delete it.
- Feedback: until we've dealt with it, and never longer than needed. Ask and we'll delete yours, including your email if you gave one.
- Crash reports: only the most recent kinds of error (at most 200); older ones are dropped automatically.
- Anonymous statistics: daily totals for up to about 13 months.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, export it or delete it, and you can object to how we use it. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. For anything else, email [email protected] and we'll answer within 30 days. If you're in the EU, you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.
Children
Frontier is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has given us their email or created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change matters for how we use your email or account, we'll tell you before it takes effect.
