Privacy Policy

• Core gameplay is offline. Career saves live on your device. We do not require an account to play.
• We do not sell your personal information.
• Optional online features (Story AI, bug reports, analytics, app updates) may send limited technical or gameplay data when enabled and configured in your build.
• You control backups. Exported .chronafc files are yours to store or delete.

1. Data stored on your device (always)

When you play CHRONAFC, the app stores game data locally, including:

• Career save files (SQLite database: squads, finances, tactics, match history, life log, etc.)
• Manager name and choices you enter during onboarding
• App preferences (text size, haptics, Story AI toggles, squad display options)
• Optional club badge or portrait images you pick from your photo library
• Optional imported custom player database JSON files you choose to load

This data stays on your device unless you export it (backup) or send it to us (bug report, described below).

We do not operate a cloud save service for routine gameplay.

2. Data you choose to send us

Bug and crash reports

If bug reporting is enabled in your build, you may submit a report from Settings → Report a problem, or the app may send an automatic crash report after a render error.

Reports may include:

• Your description of the problem
• App version, build number, device model, and OS version
• Current in-app screen (route)
• Optional debug payload (error message, stack trace)
• Your active career save snapshot (full save backup JSON) to help us reproduce progression bugs

We use this information only to diagnose and fix issues. Do not submit a bug report if you do not want your save data transmitted.

Analytics (when enabled)

If analytics is configured in your build, we collect anonymous usage events, such as:

• Screen views and navigation paths
• A random session identifier stored on your device
• App version, platform, and build type (development vs production)
• Custom event names with sanitized, non-personal properties

Analytics is used to understand which features are used and to improve stability. It is not used for advertising.

3. Optional Story AI (when enabled)

If you turn on Story commentary or Post-match debrief in Settings, the app sends match-related context to our AI provider pipeline (hosted via Appwrite, using models such as Llama 3.3 through OpenRouter) to generate narrative text.

This may include:

• Scoreline, xG, standouts, tactics summary, and match events
• Your touchline decision and debrief chat messages you send in that session

Story AI is off by default in many builds. When disabled or offline, the app uses local template text only — no AI network calls.

We do not use Story AI conversations for advertising. Prompts and responses are processed to deliver the in-app feature.

4. App updates

CHRONAFC may check for over-the-air (OTA) JavaScript updates through Expo Updates when you use Settings → Check for updates or on app launch (depending on build settings). This communicates with Expo's update service and may log standard request metadata (app version, platform).

Store downloads (App Store, Google Play) are handled by Apple and Google under their respective privacy policies.

5. Community links

Links in Settings (Discord, email, feedback forms, social media) open third-party services governed by their own policies. We do not receive your messages on those platforms unless you contact us directly.

For normal offline play, we do not collect:

• Your real name, email, or phone (unless you email us or fill a form)
• Precise location
• Contacts, calendar, or unrelated photos
• Payment card details (handled by Apple/Google if you purchase the app or IAPs)
• Advertising identifiers for cross-app tracking

There is no multiplayer server and no account login for core careers.

Advanced users may import a JSON custom player database. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use any names, logos, or data in that file. Imported data is processed on your device for your save. We do not upload custom database files unless you include them in a bug report save snapshot you voluntarily submit.

We do not use your career data for targeted advertising.

We share data only with service providers that help us run the app:

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

We do not sell personal information.

• On-device saves: Kept until you delete the save, uninstall the app, or wipe app data.
• Bug reports: Retained as long as needed for support and engineering, then archived or deleted.
• Analytics events: Retained in aggregate form for product analysis; raw events are kept for a limited operational period.
• Story AI: Processed for the request; we do not build a persistent public profile from debrief chats.

• Story AI: Toggle off in Settings at any time.
• Bug reports: Only sent when you submit them (or on automatic crash, if enabled).
• Backups: Export encrypted or plain .chronafc backups from Settings; delete saves on device anytime.
• Uninstall: Removes local SQLite data from your device (unless you kept external backups).

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data we hold about you. Because most gameplay data never leaves your device, many requests will relate only to data you sent us (e.g. a bug report). Contact [email protected] with your request and reference code if you filed a bug report.

CHRONAFC is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

• Local saves use SQLite on your device.
• Optional backup encryption uses PBKDF2-SHA256 and AES-256-GCM with a password you choose.
• Data sent to our servers uses HTTPS.

No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure. Keep backup files private if they contain data you care about.

If you use CHRONAFC outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or where our service providers operate. By using optional online features, you consent to that transfer for those features.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new date at the top. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy. Material changes may also be noted in-app or on chronafc.com.
