Crawler Vault is a character sheet. It exists to help you play, not to learn about you. This page explains, in plain words, what the apps and this website do with information, including the parts you might not expect.

The short version

  • The iOS and Android apps send anonymous usage metrics and crash reports, and they follow the usage and diagnostics setting on your device. They have no separate switch of their own.
  • The metrics are non-identifying. They never include your name, your crawlers, your notes or anything you type.
  • We do not sell them, or anything else about you, to anyone.
  • The macOS app and this website collect nothing.

What stays on your device

Your crawlers, journal entries and homebrew content belong to you. The apps keep them on your device. They do not send their contents to us, and they are never part of the usage metrics.

Usage metrics (iOS and Android)

To learn which parts of the app are useful and which get in the way, the iOS and Android apps record anonymous usage metrics. These are the kinds of things we count:

  • Screens and buttons: which screens and dialogs are opened and which buttons are tapped, using fixed names defined by the app (such as “journal” or “level up”).
  • Actions in play: that a roll was made and what kind it was, that an item was equipped and into which slot, that a buff or debuff was applied, that a skill or item was added or removed.
  • Making things: that a crawler or a piece of homebrew content was started, finished, changed, deleted or abandoned, and at which step. For content packs that are imported or exported, only how many items the pack held.
  • Your setup: how many crawlers and content packs you have, how many days ago you first opened the app, your device model (for example “Pixel 9”), your operating system and its version, and whether the device is held upright or sideways.
  • What the analytics service records on its own: sessions, the app version and your approximate region, at country level.

The analytics service gives each installation of the app a random identifier so it can tell one install from another. It is not connected to your name or your account, and we don’t try to work out who you are from it. On iOS the app does not use Apple’s advertising identifier. On Android, Google’s analytics software may be able to read your device’s advertising ID if you have one, which Android lets you reset or delete in its settings.

Crash reports (iOS and Android)

If the app crashes, it sends a report so we can fix the problem. A report contains technical details about the crash: where in the app’s code it happened, the app version, your device model and operating system version, and when it happened. It is used to fix bugs and for nothing else.

What we never collect on purpose

The usage metrics never contain:

  • crawler names, journal text, homebrew names or descriptions, or content pack names;
  • the name you gave your device (like “Sam’s iPhone”);
  • your email address, account details or contact list;
  • anything you typed into the app.

Your choices

The apps have no privacy switch of their own. Instead they follow the setting you have already chosen on your device for sharing usage and diagnostic data. Turn that off in your device’s privacy settings and the apps respect it; leave it on and the apps send the metrics and crash reports described above.

If you would rather not take part at all, you can choose not to use the iOS or Android apps. The macOS app sends no usage metrics or crash reports.

Who handles the data

Usage metrics and crash reports are processed by Google’s Firebase (Analytics and Crashlytics), which acts as our service provider. Google describes its own handling in its Firebase privacy information.

We do not sell usage metrics or crash reports. We do not sell or rent any information about you, and we do not hand it to third parties to market to you.

The macOS app

The macOS app does not collect usage metrics or send crash reports. If that ever changes, this page will say so first.

This website

This site has no cookies, no analytics, no advertising and no embedded third-party content. Its fonts and images come from the same place as the pages. Like any website, the host that serves it (Google’s Firebase Hosting) may keep ordinary server logs, such as the address a request came from and the time, to keep the service running and secure.

Changes to this page

If what we collect changes, we’ll update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect. Crawler Vault is a fan-made project and not affiliated with Renegade Game Studios.
