Privacy policy
Last updated 6 November 2026
The Last Foundry is made by Wild Instinct Studio, a solo developer. The game can send anonymous gameplay data, but only if you say yes. This page explains what that data is and what you can do about it.
The short version
- On first launch the game asks whether you want to share anonymous gameplay data. If you choose No thanks, nothing is sent and the game plays exactly the same.
- We never collect your name, email address, Steam account or profile, or anything you type.
- The data is only used to improve the game. It is never sold and never used for advertising.
- You can change your answer at any time in the game, under Menu, Settings, Privacy.
What we collect if you choose Share
- Progress: which map tiers you start, clear or fail, and how long runs take.
- Crafting: when you craft by hand, which crafting currency you used, and when you start and finish auto-crafting.
- Tutorial and unlocks: which tutorial quests you complete and when characters and features unlock.
- Sessions: when you play and for how long.
- Basic technical details that the analytics service records on its own: a random identifier for your device, your operating system and device type, the game version, and your approximate country (worked out from your IP address).
Nothing is collected before you choose, and nothing is collected if you choose No thanks.
Why
To see how far players get, where they stop, and whether the crafting is fun, so the game can get better. The numbers are looked at together, across all players, not person by person.
Who handles the data
The data is processed for us by GameAnalytics, an analytics service for games. It is stored under the random device identifier, not under your name or Steam account. We don't share it with anyone else. You can read GameAnalytics' privacy notice for how they handle data.
How long it's kept
GameAnalytics keeps detailed event data for up to 12 months. After that it is deleted or anonymized, so only overall totals remain.
Your choices
- Stop sharing: turn off "Share anonymous gameplay data" under Menu, Settings, Privacy. Sharing stops immediately.
- Ask for your data to be deleted, or ask a question: email support@wildinstinctstudio.com. Because the data isn't linked to your name, tell us roughly when you played so we can work with GameAnalytics to find and remove it. You can also contact GameAnalytics directly at privacy@gameanalytics.com.
Steam
The game is sold and launched through Steam. Valve collects its own data under the Steam Privacy Policy. That is separate from this page, and we don't receive your Steam account details through the analytics.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If the game ever starts collecting different data, we'll update this page and the game will ask you again before anything new is sent.
