The short version
You can play Shadow XI as a guest without giving us anything. If you create a free account to save your career, we keep your email address, your saved career and a couple of choices you make. We do not sell or share your information, there are no adverts, and there is no tracking.
Playing as a guest
A guest's career is not saved anywhere. Your settings and the scout you create are kept in your own browser's storage on your device so the game remembers them; they never reach us.
What a free account stores
- Your email address and password. They are handled by our sign-in provider, Supabase. Your password is stored scrambled (hashed), so nobody can read it, including us.
- That you confirmed you are 13 or older, and whether you asked for news by email (only if you ticked the box; you can ask us to stop at any time).
- Your saved career and when it was last saved.
- Standard technical records, such as when you last signed in, kept by Supabase to run the service securely.
Why we use it
To give you the account you asked for: saving your career and letting you sign in on any device. News emails are sent only if you ticked the box, and you can withdraw that at any time.
Where it is kept
Accounts and saved careers are held by Supabase on servers in London. The website is served by Cloudflare, which may keep standard technical records (such as IP addresses) for a short time to keep the service running and secure. Both handle information under their own terms as our service providers.
How long we keep it
Until you delete your account. Use Settings, Your account, Delete my account in the game: your account and saved career are deleted straight away and cannot be recovered.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your information, ask us to correct or delete it, and object to how we use it, by emailing us. If you are unhappy with how we handle your information you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Cookies and storage
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. The game uses your browser's storage only for things it needs to work: keeping you signed in, your settings, and a copy of your career while you play.
Children
You need to be 13 or older to create an account. Guests can play without giving any information.
