Wayfarer
Privacy policy
This policy explains how Wayfarer, an online open-world game by Rolutec, processes information. Wayfarer is in early testing. It has no ads, no in-app purchases, and no analytics or tracking.
Information processed
- Account information: an email address and password if you create an account with email, or a random device identifier, kept on your device, if you play as a guest. Each account has a user ID and a generated username, shown to other players over your character and in chat.
- Game progress saved on our server: where your character is, what they carry and keep in the bank, their health, food and water, reputation with villages, and the parts of the world they have explored.
- Chat messages you send to the world chat. They are relayed live to players who are online and are not stored, unless another player reports one: a reported message is kept, with its sender's username and user ID, for us to review.
- Technical records needed to run and protect the game server, such as connection logs.
Wayfarer does not collect your real-world location, contacts, photos, health or financial data, advertising identifiers, crash reports, or analytics. Settings such as volume and graphics stay on your device.
How information is used
Information is used to log you in, confirm the email address of an account made with one (we email you a link to open), save and restore your game, show your character and messages to other players in the shared world, and keep the service working and secure.
Sharing and service providers
Your username, your character and the chat messages you send are visible to other players. Information is not sold or shared with third parties. The game's servers run on Railway, which hosts them for us as a service provider. The email that confirms your address is sent through Resend, which delivers it for us as a service provider. All traffic between the game and the servers is encrypted (HTTPS and secure WebSockets).
Chat
The world chat is open to everyone playing. Offensive words are filtered out, you can mute any player, and you can report a message; we review reports and remove players who break the chat's rules. Do not share personal information in it.
Retention and security
Your account and saved game are kept until you delete the account. Chat messages are not kept, except reported ones, which are kept while we review them. Server logs are kept for a limited period to operate and secure the service. No system can guarantee absolute security.
Children
Wayfarer is meant for players aged 13 and over, because of its open chat with other players.
Your choices
You can play as a guest without giving an email address. You can delete your account and its saved game at any time, in the game (Menu, then Delete account) or by email. Players you mute are kept on your device only.
