Privacy policy
Effective 27 October 2026
This policy explains what the game Behind the Wall (Android and Windows) collects, why, and what you can do about it. The game is developed and published by evmigames, an individual developer based in Israel. “We” in this policy means evmigames. Contact: support@behindthewallgame.com.
Short version: we collect only what the game needs to run your account, online matches and the rating. We don't sell your data. Nothing is shared for advertising, and the game has no third-party analytics.
1. What we collect
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Player name and password | When you register | To sign you in. The password is stored only as a secure hash. We don't ask for your real name or email. |
| Device ID | When you play as a guest | To recognise your guest account on this device. |
| Game data: squads, soldiers' ranks and medals, rating, leaderboard place, Hall of fame | While you play | To keep your progress and run the rating. |
| Online match data: moves, results, who you played against | During online matches | To deliver moves between players, decide the winner and update the rating fairly. |
| Technical log: time of sign-ins and matches, platform, game version, device model, IP address, performance (frame rate, device temperature status, battery level, graphics settings) | When you sign in and play | To keep the service working, fight cheating and abuse, and fix crashes, overheating and slow devices. |
The game doesn't access your contacts, photos, location, microphone or camera.
2. Playing without an account
If you choose Play offline, your squad is stored only on your device and nothing is sent to us.
3. Where the data is stored
Our game server is operated by Hetzner Online GmbH in a data centre in Germany (EU). Connections between the game and the server are encrypted (HTTPS). Some game data (squads, an unfinished battle, settings) is also stored on your device.
4. How long we keep it
- Account and game data: until you delete your account.
- Technical log: up to 12 months. It is deleted together with your account.
- Server backups: 14 days.
5. Who we share it with
We don't sell your data or give it to anyone for advertising. The data is seen only by:
- Other players: your player name, rating and leaderboard place, and your moves during a match with them.
- Our hosting provider (Hetzner), which stores the server data on our behalf.
- Authorities, if the law requires it.
6. Advertising
The current version has no ad network and sends no data for advertising. If we add optional rewarded video ads (Google AdMob), we will update this policy first and explain what data the ad network receives.
7. Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To do so, email support@behindthewallgame.com. You can also delete your account yourself in the game: Settings → Account → Delete account… (see how to delete your account). We answer within one month. If you live in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority; in Israel, to the Privacy Protection Authority.
We process your data to provide the game you asked for (performance of a contract) and, for the technical log, for our legitimate interest in keeping the game working, fair and secure.
8. Children
The game is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you think a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes
If this policy changes, we will publish the new version on this page with a new effective date. If the change is significant, we will also tell you in the game.
