Hearthwild — Privacy Policy

Hearthwild is developed by MubarakLab. A MubarakLab account is not required, the app contains no advertising, and MubarakLab does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.

Information stored on your device

Campaign progress, command and replay records, settings, restoration and recovery records, locally received Covenant Relays, blocked-player identifiers, and a randomly generated installation key used for aggregate in-app milestones are stored on your device. These records are not sent to a MubarakLab server. Deleting Hearthwild deletes them unless your device or operating-system backup restores them.

The local milestone ledger contains timestamps and counts for events such as beginning or completing the free prologue, viewing the Full Living World offer, and purchase outcomes. For public challenge and event journeys, it also stores the expedition identifier, entry source, public event or preset identifier, content version, and app version so the same expedition is not counted twice. It does not contain campaign content, board positions, your name, or an advertising identifier, and Hearthwild does not transmit it.

If you deliberately choose “Share voluntary playtest report,” iOS opens the share sheet with a copy of this local milestone ledger. You choose whether and where to send it. The report can include the random installation key and the public journey metadata above, but never your campaign content or board positions.

Purchases

Apple processes the optional Full Living World purchase and provides Hearthwild with a verified entitlement so the purchase can be completed or restored. MubarakLab does not receive your payment-card information, Apple Account credentials, name, or email address. Apple's handling of App Store information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Optional Game Center and Covenant Relays

If you choose Game Center, Apple provides Hearthwild with your scoped Game Center player identifier and display name. To run a private turn-based Covenant Relay, Hearthwild sends the participating player identifiers, display names, match identifier, timestamps, and the replay-sealed Relay content through Apple's Game Center service to the other participant. Received Relay content and the other participant's identity may also be kept locally in Relay Harbor so you can reply, remove the Relay, or block that participant.

Game Center is optional. You can use the single-player campaign without it, remove individual Relays in the app, block or unblock Game Center participants, and manage Game Center through your Apple Account and device settings.

Private links and sharing

Hearthwild can create a private Covenant Relay link or share a response using the iOS share sheet. It can also create a public Field Challenge result card and mubaraklabs.com link containing the field, outcome, objective progress, turns, and Blight total. Public challenge links do not contain your identity, installation key, command history, or campaign save. Nothing is shared until you choose a destination. The selected app or service handles the information you share under its own privacy terms.

Diagnostics and analytics

Hearthwild contains no third-party advertising, tracking, analytics, or crash-reporting SDK. MubarakLab does not operate a gameplay analytics server for the app. Apple may provide diagnostic or performance information if you separately choose to share analytics with Apple in your device settings.

Hearthwild website

When you open a public Field Challenge page, that page keeps the public query from the shared link in your browser's local storage. This lets you install Hearthwild, return to the same page, and open the record in the app. It contains the field and public result totals described above, not your identity or campaign save. You can remove it by clearing site data for mubaraklabs.com in your browser.

Data we do not collect

Hearthwild does not request your contacts, photos, precise location, camera, microphone, health data, payment-card information, or advertising identifier.

Children

Hearthwild is a general-audience strategy game. MubarakLab does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Game Center availability and multiplayer restrictions are controlled by Apple Account and family settings.

Your choices

You can play without Game Center, decline sharing a Relay, remove local Relays, and delete the app to remove locally stored app data subject to device backups. App Store purchase history and Game Center data are managed by Apple.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date.
