What we collect and how we collect it
We collect only what the game needs to let you play online with other people. We do not ask you to type in your real name, email address, date of birth or payment details.
| Information | How we collect it |
|---|---|
| Steam account ID, Steam nickname and avatar | Received from Steam when you start the game from Steam. |
| Epic account ID and Epic display name | Received from Epic when you start the game from the Epic Games Store, or when you choose to link an Epic account in the game on Steam. |
| Epic friends list and online status | Received from Epic only when you play from the Epic Games Store and approve this on Epic's sign-in screen. |
| Epic Online Services (EOS) player ID | Assigned through Epic Online Services when the game signs you in with Steam or Epic. |
| Game profile: in-game display name, chosen breed, settings and key bindings | Entered or chosen by you in the game. |
| Approximate country (a two-letter code) | Estimated by Steam from your IP address, or read from your computer's region setting. |
| Network connection details, such as your IP address | Used by the game, through Epic Online Services, to connect your computer with the other players in your session. |
| Crash reports | Created on your computer if the game crashes; we only receive one if you choose to send it to us. |
| Website request details, such as IP address, browser and pages requested | Recorded automatically by Cloudflare, our website host, when you visit the website. |
How we use it
- To sign you in, identify you in co-op sessions and keep your game profile between sessions and devices.
- To show your name, avatar and breed to the players in your session, and let you invite friends and join their packs.
- To show your Epic friends what you are doing in the game (for example "In the backyard · Pack 3/8"), only when you play from the Epic Games Store and have allowed it.
- To show your approximate country next to a Public pack you host, so other players can pick a nearby pack. Private packs never show it.
- To fix crashes you report, and to keep the game and website working and secure.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling or analytics, and we do not sell it.
How we share it
- Other players in your session see your display name, avatar, breed and in-game actions. The game has no text or voice chat; players communicate with fixed pings and emotes.
- Valve (Steam) and Epic Games (Epic Online Services and Epic Account Services) process the information above to provide sign-in, online sessions, friends, invites and player storage, under their own privacy policies: Steam and Epic Games.
- Cloudflare hosts the website and processes website request details to deliver and secure it, under Cloudflare's privacy policy.
- We may disclose information if the law requires it.
These providers may store information outside Australia, including in the United States. We do not share your information with anyone else.
How long we keep it
- Game profile on your computer: until you delete the game's saved data.
- Game profile in Epic Online Services player storage: while the game is offered, or until you ask us to delete it; we delete it within 30 days of your request.
- Session, invite and online-status information: only while your session lasts; it is not kept afterwards.
- Crash reports: until the crash is fixed, and no longer than 12 months.
- Information held by Steam, Epic and Cloudflare: see their own privacy policies.
How we protect it
You sign in through Steam or Epic, so we never see or store your passwords. Only we can access the game's Epic Online Services and crash-report data.
Children
The game is rated for teens and older on most storefronts. We do not knowingly collect information from children beyond what the game needs to run.
Your choices and rights
You can play on Steam without an Epic account. You can withdraw Epic's friends and online-status permission at any time in your Epic account settings, and stop sharing your country by hosting Private packs. You can ask us for a copy of your information, a correction or a deletion by emailing hello+boops-and-baps@clint.games; we reply within 30 days. If you are in the EU, UK or another region with data-protection law, you also have the rights that law gives you, including complaining to your local regulator. Australian residents can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
This website
The website has no accounts, contact forms, advertising, analytics scripts or tracking cookies, and does not ask you for personal information. Links to Steam, the Epic Games Store and Discord take you to independent services with their own privacy policies.
Changes
We will update this policy and its date whenever the game's use of information changes, and announce major changes in the game's store news.
