Privacy Policy

This page covers the Ethereal app and this website.

What Ethereal stores

Ethereal keeps your settings and the worlds you have unlocked on your device. There are no accounts and nothing to sign in to.

We receive anonymous usage stats: the app and its version, the platform, when it was first opened and how long it has been in use, whether the Pro page was seen or bought, which of our links brought you to the app, and the country the request came from. We use them to see how the apps are used and where they find their audience. We do not keep the connection address, and nothing in the stats identifies you or your phone.

We keep usage stats indefinitely. We cannot tell which ones are yours, so we cannot delete them; to stop the app sending them, uninstall it.

Purchases

Ethereal Pro is a one-time purchase handled by the store you bought it from: Google Play on Android, the App Store on iPhone. We never see your payment details. Google's handling is covered by Google's privacy policy, and Apple's by Apple's privacy policy. The app keeps an on-device record that Pro is unlocked.

When a Pro purchase completes, the store tells us, so we can count sales. We are told which app and which product, not who bought it.

Casting

If you cast, Ethereal sends the world you chose to your Chromecast or Google TV over your own network, and your TV loads the display page from this site. Casting uses the Google Cast SDK, which sends usage and diagnostic data to Google, covered by Google's privacy policy. Each time the display page is loaded we count it: the time and whether it was a TV or a browser, and nothing else. No IP address and no identifier are kept.

This website

No cookies, no accounts and nothing to sign up for. The web server keeps a standard access log for up to 30 days, and we do not count page views. The one exception is the TV display page, described under Casting above. The one other exception is a visit that arrives from one of our own ads or posts: we count it once, with the time, the ad or post it came from, the country and the device type, and nothing that identifies you. If you then tap a store button, we count that too and, except for visitors in the UK and Europe, send Google back the click reference it added to the link, so it can tell the ad worked.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which handles requests on our behalf; Cloudflare's privacy policy describes how it handles data as our provider. Some pages link out to other services such as Google Play, which are covered by their own privacy policies, not this one.

Children

Ethereal is a general-audience app.
