Privacy Policy
Effective: November 4, 2026
Short version: we do not run accounts, ads or tracking. The website sets no cookies. Our games send anonymous play statistics with no player, device or Steam identifiers, and Jamo Baduk lets you turn them off on the title screen.
1. Who we are
Wonder Road Games (“we”) is an independent game studio in Seoul, Republic of Korea. This policy covers this website (wonderroadgames.com) and our games Iron Bird and Jamo Baduk. Contact: contact@wonderroadgames.com.
2. This website
- No cookies, no analytics, no advertising or social-media trackers, no forms.
- All fonts, images and videos are served from this site. Links to Steam, YouTube, Discord and X open those services, which have their own privacy policies.
- Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes your IP address and request details to deliver the pages and protect them from abuse. We do not receive or keep these logs.
- Your language choice is remembered in your browser's local storage only; it never leaves your device.
3. Buying and playing on Steam
Our games are sold and delivered by Valve through Steam. Purchases, payment, your Steam account, friends, achievements and Steam Cloud saves are handled by Valve under the Steam Privacy Policy. We receive only aggregated sales and usage reports from Steamworks, not your payment details. Our games do not send your Steam ID, account name or friends list to us.
4. Play statistics in Jamo Baduk
To balance and fix the game, the release and demo versions of Jamo Baduk send game statistics.
- Only in four countries. Sending is possible only when Steam reports your country as South Korea, the United States, Japan or China. The country is checked on your device and is never sent or saved. Everywhere else nothing is sent.
- What is sent: game events from a fixed list (for example a battle ending, a choice at a crossroads, an error type) with game facts such as difficulty, act, chosen items and results in ranges, plus the game version, the interface language and whether the run is an automated test.
- What is never sent: no Steam ID or account name, no player name, no device, installation, session or other identifier (not even a random one), no timestamps (our server records only the UTC date), no hardware or system details, no free text, file paths or save data.
- Turning it off: on the title screen choose “Stop sending play statistics”. Nothing more is sent from that moment, and the choice is saved with your settings. “About play statistics” next to it shows these details in the game.
5. Play statistics in Iron Bird
Iron Bird sends game statistics so we can find difficulty spikes, crashes and performance problems.
- What is sent: game events (for example stage start and clear, boss fights, choices of aircraft, sub-units and cosmic powers, death and game over), the game state at that moment (aircraft, act, stage type, HP, gold, score, time since launch), the game version, a frame-rate sample once a minute, and error messages.
- Identifiers: since version 1.1.2 (October 27, 2026) each launch gets a new random ID that is kept only in memory, so two launches cannot be linked. Before 1.1.2 the game sent a hardware-based device ID; those older records are covered by the retention rule in section 8.
- Error messages: before sending, the game removes user folder names and Steam account folder numbers from file paths in error text.
- Not sent: your Steam ID, account name, player name or system details.
- Turning it off: Iron Bird does not yet have an in-game switch. The game works fully without a network connection, so you can block it in your firewall, or write to us and we will help.
6. When you contact us
If you email us or post on our Discord server (including bug reports made with our Discord bot), we receive what you send and the name you use on that service. We use it only to reply, fix problems and improve the games. Discord is operated by Discord Inc. under its own privacy policy. Email to our address is forwarded by Cloudflare to our mailbox.
7. Service providers and international transfers
We do not sell or share personal information. These providers handle data for us:
| Provider | Purpose | Data | Location | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase, Inc. (USA) | Database for play statistics | The statistics in sections 4–5; connection IP address in the provider's operational logs | Tokyo, Japan | Statistics: section 8. IP logs: about 1 day |
| Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) | Website hosting, email forwarding, network in front of the database | IP address, request details, emails in transit | Global network | Per Cloudflare's policy |
Data is transferred over encrypted connections (HTTPS) at the moment the game or website is used. Valve (Steam) and Discord act as independent services under their own policies.
8. Retention and deletion
- Raw play statistics are kept for up to 12 months. After that they are deleted or reduced to daily totals that contain no individual records.
- Emails and Discord messages are kept as long as needed to handle your request and are deleted on request.
- When data is deleted it is removed from the database so that it cannot be restored.
9. Your rights
You may ask to access, correct, delete or stop the processing of your personal information, and you may complain to your data protection authority. Because play statistics carry no identifier, we usually cannot find which records came from you; in that case turning statistics off (Jamo Baduk) or blocking the network (Iron Bird) is the most effective step. For emails and Discord messages, write to us and we will act within 10 days.
10. Children
Our games do not ask for age, names or contact details and do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email or Discord, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Security
Statistics are sent only over HTTPS to one fixed address. The key built into the games can only add rows; it cannot read them. Raw records are visible only to the studio. Access to our accounts is protected by strong authentication.
12. Changes
If our games or this site start handling data differently, we will update this page and its effective date before the change ships, and announce significant changes on Steam and Discord.
