Privacy Policy

Age of Aeternus | Last Updated: October 2, 2026

1. Who We Are and What This Policy Covers

Age of Aeternus is operated by NerdHonest LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("NerdHonest," "we," "our," or "us"). We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy (in EU and UK terms, we are the "controller").

Our mailing address: NerdHonest LLC, 8735 Dunwoody Place, Suite R, Atlanta, GA 30350, United States. Privacy contact: privacy@nerdhonest.com.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use and share it, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have. It covers:

(together, the "Service").

Age requirement: the Service is only for people aged 18 or older who have reached the age of majority where they live. When you sign up, you confirm that you are 18 or older.

This policy describes what we do. Reading it, or using the Service, doesn't mean you consent to everything in it. Where we rely on your consent (for example, for analytics or marketing emails), we ask you separately, and you can say no.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Give Us

What you must provide. To create an account, you need to give us an email address (or sign in with Google or Apple) and confirm that you are 18 or older. Without these, we can't create your account. Everything else is optional, but some features need it.

Bug reports include what you write, any screenshots you attach, your account ID, the screen you were on, your platform and the app version. If you turn on Include recent diagnostic activity (off by default), they also include up to 100 recent log lines and 15 recent app events from your device.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

Can a crash report be linked to me? A crash report doesn't contain your account ID. It does contain a random session ID. If you have accepted Analytics, the same session ID also appears in app-health events and performance summaries linked to your account. While both records exist (at most 30 days), a crash report could therefore be matched to your account. We don't use crash reports to identify people.

Before you choose. On Android, iOS and macOS, Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are switched off until you accept, and any unsent crash reports are discarded if you decline. On the web, the analytics script doesn't load until you accept.

2.2a Anonymized Gameplay Telemetry

To balance the game, we count gameplay outcomes. We keep only daily totals: for example, how many times a given skill succeeded on a given day. Each total is grouped by the date, the kind of event, the skill, the outcome, the damage type, the source category and whether it was a critical hit. Only values from a fixed list are kept; anything else is grouped as "other", and skills other than the standard Age of Aeternus skills are grouped as "custom".

These totals don't include account, character or party IDs, names, notes, free text or exact times. They aren't linked to you.

This is on by default, under our legitimate interest in balancing the game. To opt out, turn off Share anonymized gameplay data in Privacy Settings. An event isn't counted if the person who recorded it, or the owner of a character involved, has opted out. Totals are deleted after 24 months.

2.3 Information from Third Parties

2.3a Cross-App Account Linking

You can choose to link your Age of Aeternus account with Writerer, another NerdHonest app. When you do:

We don't exchange email addresses, display names, profile data, activity, characters or other content, or payment details through this link. Linking gives no bonuses at the moment. Badges, titles and other cosmetic rewards stay in Age of Aeternus.

You can unlink at any time in Profile Settings › Integrations › Writerer. After unlinking, you must wait 24 hours before linking again. If you delete your Age of Aeternus account, we tell Writerer to remove the link.

3. How We Use Information and Our Legal Bases

This table shows why we use your information. For users in the EEA and UK, it also shows the legal basis we rely on under the GDPR and UK GDPR.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, you can object (see Section 7). Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time; this doesn't affect processing that happened before.

Automated decisions. We don't make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects, with one exception: under our DMCA Policy, an account is disabled automatically when it reaches 3 copyright strikes within 12 months. Each strike follows a notice that a person on our team has reviewed. Separately, if an account's verified email address matches a repeat-infringer marker (see Section 5), the account is disabled automatically and held until a person on our team reviews it. If your account is disabled in either way, you can ask for a person on our team to review the decision, give your point of view and contest it, by emailing dmca@nerdhonest.com.

4. How We Share Information

4.1 Service Providers

These companies process data for us, under our instructions, to run the Service:

Google services the web app contacts. We host the web app's code, its rendering engine, its fonts and the Firebase libraries ourselves, so loading the app doesn't fetch them from Google. The web app still contacts Google:

4.2 Services You Choose to Use

These companies have their own relationship with you and their own privacy policies:

We don't send Patreon your Age of Aeternus characters, content or activity.

4.3 Other Users

4.4 Legal, Safety and Business Transfers

4.5 What We Don't Do

5. How Long We Keep Data

We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy. Records with a set expiry are deleted automatically, usually within a day or so after they expire. Our database keeps earlier versions of records for up to 1 hour so we can recover from mistakes; we don't keep longer-term database backups. Our file storage keeps deleted files for 7 days before they are permanently removed.

6. Deleting Your Account and Exporting Your Data

6.1 Deleting Your Account

How: open Account › Privacy Settings in the side menu (or Profile Settings › Privacy, Data & Legal), then Your Data › Danger Zone › Delete Account. You may need to sign in again first. You can also email privacy@nerdhonest.com from your account email address.

30-day grace period. When you ask to delete your account:

If you request deletion in the app, we email you then, if you cancel, and when deletion is complete. If our team deletes your account directly (for example, after you ask by email), we don't send these emails.

After 30 days, our daily deletion job permanently deletes your account. The job handles up to 10 accounts a day, so it usually reaches yours within a day after the grace period ends, but it can take longer if many deletions are due at once. If any step fails, the deletion isn't treated as complete: the job tries again on later runs, up to 5 times in all, and if it still can't finish, it is flagged for our team to complete. Until then, the deletion request keeps your account ID. We delete:

What stays, and how:

Known limits. We want to be clear about what deletion doesn't reach yet:

If you want any of this removed, email privacy@nerdhonest.com and we will deal with it by hand.

Other services. When your account is deleted:

Your store subscription itself isn't cancelled by deleting your account: cancel it with the App Store, Google Play or Patreon (see our Subscription Terms).

6.2 Exporting Your Data

How: open Account › Privacy Settings › Your Data › Export My Data and choose Request Export. You can also email privacy@nerdhonest.com.

The export is prepared in the background. When it's ready, we email you a download link and show it in the app. The link works for 7 days. Anyone who has the link can download the file, so don't share it. You can request one export every 7 days; if an export fails, you can try again straight away.

What's included (export format version 1.7), as machine-readable JSON:

What's left out:

Available on request. These aren't in the self-serve export yet. You can ask for them at privacy@nerdhonest.com:

7. Your Rights and Choices

7.1 Rights for Everyone

Wherever you live, you can:

7.2 How to Exercise Your Rights

In the app: open Account › Privacy Settings in the side menu (also reachable from Profile Settings › Privacy, Data & Legal). There you can:

Profile visibility (Appear in community directory) and Autoplay profile songs are in Profile Settings.

By email: write to privacy@nerdhonest.com from your account email address. Tell us which right you want to use and give any details that will help. We may need to confirm your identity before we act.

If we need more time, we will tell you why, as the law allows.

7.3 EEA and UK Users

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, you also have the right to restrict our processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, to data portability, and to complain to a data protection authority, in particular in the country where you live or work.

We are based in the United States and don't currently offer the Service specifically to people in the EEA or UK. We have not appointed a representative in the EU or UK under Article 27 of the GDPR or UK GDPR.

7.4 U.S. State Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live (for example, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and other states with privacy laws), you may have rights to know and access your personal data, to correct it, to delete it, to get a portable copy, and to opt out of its sale, of targeted advertising and of certain profiling.

California: the categories of personal information we collect are listed in Section 2, the purposes in Section 3, how long we keep it in Section 5, and who receives it in Section 4. We don't sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act. Section 5 of our Cookie Policy explains how we respond to Do Not Track signals.

Nevada: we don't sell covered information as defined under Nevada law. Nevada residents can send requests about the sale of covered information to privacy@nerdhonest.com.

8. Security

We protect personal data with technical and organizational measures, including:

No system is perfectly secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security. If a security breach affects your personal data, we will notify you and the authorities as the law requires.

9. International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States, and our service providers mainly process data in the United States. If you use the Service from outside the United States, your data will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

For transfers from the EEA, UK or Switzerland, we rely on each provider's data processing terms, including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses where they apply, such as Google Cloud's Data Processing Terms. Google LLC is also certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK and Swiss extensions.

10. Children's Privacy

Age of Aeternus is only for people aged 18 or older who have reached the age of majority where they live. Everyone confirms they are 18 or older when they sign up. The Service isn't directed to children, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. That includes children under 13, who are protected by the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If we learn that someone under 18 has an account, we will delete it and their data, except records we must keep by law. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact privacy@nerdhonest.com.

11. Third-Party Privacy Policies

12. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Cookie Policy explains the cookies, browser storage and device storage we use, and how to control them.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will change the "Last Updated" date and add an entry to the Document History below.

For material changes, we will tell you in advance by email and in the app. When you next open the app while signed in, we will ask you to confirm that you have read the updated policy before you continue. Changes apply going forward. They don't change how we handled your data before the change. Where a change needs your consent, we will ask for it.
