Privacy Policy

How Aetherial Depths handles cloud saves, anonymous device credentials, and security data.

Effective date: July 25, 2026 · Last updated: July 25, 2026

Plain-language summary: You can play without creating a personal account. When the game is online, it creates an anonymous installation credential and synchronizes game progression with Aetherial Cloud. We do not require your name, email address, contacts, precise location, advertising identifier, payment information, photos, microphone, or camera.

Who operates the service

Aetherial Depths is an independent game published under AIMTHERE GAMES and hosted at aetherialdepths.com. Privacy questions can be sent to privacy@aetherialdepths.com.

Data we collect

Game progression and settings

Cloud Sync stores the information needed to restore and combine progression between devices, including shards, unlocks, permanent upgrades, records, runs, kills, waves, rooms, play time, mutations, game settings, and save timestamps.

Anonymous device information

Each online installation receives a random device identifier and secret credential. The server also records the platform type, app version, a device label such as “Android game” or “Windows web game,” last activity time, current service path, IP address, and browser or WebView user-agent string.

Security and reliability logs

The server records request time, method, path, response status, duration, IP address, and the anonymous device identifier when available. It also records security events such as rate limits, failed administrator logins, device revocations, and implausible save jumps.

Why we use this data

Provide cloud-save synchronization and cross-device pairing.
Keep the highest compatible progression values when linked devices are merged.
Authenticate anonymous installations and prevent unauthorized access to a save.
Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and monitor the reliability of the service.
Limit abusive traffic and investigate suspicious activity.

What we do not do

No advertising or targeted advertising.
No sale of personal data.
No mandatory personal account, name, email address, or social login.
No collection of contacts, messages, photos, audio, precise location, health data, or financial data by the game.
No user chat, public profiles, or user-generated content service.

Sharing and service providers

The game server is hosted on privately managed infrastructure. The Android application is distributed through Google Play, which processes store, installation, and device information under Google’s own terms and privacy policy. Optional Telegram security alerts contain only the type of security event and a request path; raw player IP addresses and anonymous device identifiers remain in the private administrator dashboard and are not placed in Telegram alerts.

Retention

Cloud saves and device credentials: retained until the player deletes the cloud profile.
Request logs: retained for up to 30 days, subject to a rolling maximum.
Security events: retained for up to 90 days, subject to a rolling maximum.
Pairing codes: expire after approximately 10 minutes and cannot be reused after successful pairing.

Deletion and player controls

Players can permanently delete the shared cloud save and linked anonymous device credentials from the game:

Open Save Sync.
Open Backup, disconnect and recovery.
Select Delete cloud data.
Confirm by typing DELETE.

Local progress on each device is not deleted by this action. Device-linked request and event records are removed when the cloud profile is deleted; limited IP-only security records may remain until their normal retention period expires. More information is available at aetherialdepths.com/delete-data.

Security

Cloud traffic uses HTTPS. Device secrets are stored as hashes on the server. Pairing links are random, time-limited, and single-use. Administrative access uses a private authenticated dashboard. No internet service can be guaranteed completely secure, so players should keep a text backup for progress they consider important.

Children

Aetherial Depths is intended for players aged 13 and over. It does not knowingly request personal information from children, and it does not contain targeted advertising, chat, or public user content.

Changes

This policy may be updated when the game or cloud service changes. The effective date at the top will be updated, and material changes will be announced on the website.
