The short version
The Mistria Field Guide stores your data on your device only. Nothing is collected automatically or shared without your action. If you choose to send feedback, see below for what that includes.
What is stored on your device
To remember your progress, the Mistria Field Guide saves your game data (completed items, settings, and world state) in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to send it.
Feedback submissions
The Mistria Field Guide includes an optional feedback feature. When you submit feedback, the following is sent to the server:
- Your message text.
- The app version and game data version (for debugging context).
- If you pick a specific item, its name, category, and page (no personal information).
- Your tracked progress data (items checked off, skill levels, etc.), only if you opt in.
- Your email address, if you choose to provide one.
Your feedback (minus your email) is used to create a public issue on the GitHub issue tracker so I can find and fix problems. This includes your message, the item you picked (if any), and your progress data (if you opted in). Avoid including personal information in your message, as these fields will be publicly visible.
If you provide an email address, it is stored privately in a separate system and never appears in the public issue. It is used only to follow up on your feedback if needed.
Abuse prevention
The feedback endpoint may use Cloudflare's built-in rate limiting or other abuse-prevention measures, which process IP addresses transiently at the network edge. IP addresses are not read, logged, or stored by the application.
Third-party services
The Mistria Field Guide does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The feedback feature uses GitHub (for public issue tracking) and Cloudflare (for hosting and rate limiting).
AI in development
The Mistria Field Guide is built with the help of AI coding tools that assist with writing & reviewing code. These tools operate on the project's source code & on user-submitted feedback (your message text & game progress, if you opt in). An AI service will never have access to your email address or any information about how you use the app.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, I will update this page.
