🍸 Short version: The Tender Trail collects no personal data. No analytics, no telemetry, no accounts, no ads. Your save file stays on your device (and in your own Steam Cloud, if you enable it).
Who we are
The Tender Trail is an indie game developed and published by CountXIII (count0013@gmail.com).
What data we collect
We do not collect any personal data.
The game does not include analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or any network communication initiated by the game itself.
Steam
The game is distributed via Steam (Valve Corporation). When you play through Steam:
- Steam handles your account, identity, and payment — we have no access to this data.
- Steam Cloud may sync your save file (
save.json) across your devices if you enable it. This file contains only your in-game progress (region, money, reputation, recipes unlocked, settings preferences). It does not contain any personally identifiable information. - Steam Achievements are reported to Steam when you earn them in-game. The achievement API call contains only the achievement ID (e.g.
first_serve) — no personal data.
Steam's own privacy policy applies to all Steam services: store.steampowered.com/privacy_agreement
Local save files
The game writes the following files to your local disk under the Godot user data folder (app_userdata/The Tender Trail/):
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
save.json | Game progress (region, money, reputation, recipes, upgrades, etc.) |
audio.cfg | Volume slider settings |
language.txt | Your chosen language preference |
None of these files contain personal data. They never leave your device unless Steam Cloud sync is enabled.
