Alpaca MUD Privacy Policy
This policy explains what the Alpaca MUD app (app ID com.gamefactory.mud) does with your information. Alpaca MUD connects you to a shared online game world, a "MUD", where you play a character together with other people.
1. Who we are
The app and its game server are run by Vinicius Coelho, an individual developer ("we", "us"). Contact: alpaca@vcoelho.com
2. Your character account
To play you create a character on our game server. The server keeps:
- your character's name and password;
- the e-mail address you give when you create the character. It is used to send you your password if you forget it and, only if you turn it on, to forward in-game mail to you. It is never shown to other players;
- your character's game state: race, class, level, items, gold, location, play time and similar game records.
3. What other players can see
This is a multiplayer game. Other players can see your character's name, how your character looks and acts in the game, and everything you say on public game channels or in a room. Do not share personal information in game messages.
4. What the server records
To run the game, keep it fair and handle reports of abuse, the server may log the commands and messages sent by characters, together with the time and the network (IP) address of the connection. The connection to the server is encrypted (wss) and passes through Cloudflare, which provides the secure connection.
5. What stays on your phone
The app remembers the last character name you used and, if you choose to stay signed in, your password. The password is kept in the phone's secure storage (Android Keystore). The app also saves your settings, such as text size. This data is removed when you uninstall the app.
6. What we do not do
- No advertising, no analytics and no tracking SDKs are in the app.
- We do not ask for your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.
- We do not sell or share your data with anyone for their own use.
7. Children
Alpaca MUD lets players talk to each other freely, so it is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has created a character, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Retention and deletion
Your character and its records are kept while the character exists. To delete your character and the e-mail address stored with it, write to alpaca@vcoelho.com from that address, or name the character; we delete it within 30 days. Server logs are kept for at most 90 days.
9. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
