Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the Shattered Archive website (shatteredarchive.com) and the Shattered Archive mobile app for Android. Last updated: June 2026.

Data Collection

Shattered Archive does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to our servers. No analytics, advertising SDKs, or crash-reporting services are integrated into the website or mobile app.

Website — Cookies

The following cookies may be set on the website:

  • Anti Forgery Token — Mandatory. Used any time a form is submitted to the site.
  • JWT Authorization — Optional, unless you create an account, in which case it is mandatory.

Mobile App — Local Storage

The mobile app stores the following data locally on your device only. This data is never transmitted to Shattered Archive or any third party.

  • Connection history — Server addresses you have connected to.
  • HUD settings — Your layout and display preferences.
  • Chat history — Recent messages displayed within the app.
  • Book editor notes and parchments — Text you write in the in-app editor.
  • Script configuration — Plugin and automation settings.

Mobile App — Network Connections

The app connects directly to the MUD server address you enter (default: dsl-mud.org, port 4000). This connection uses the Telnet protocol, which is unencrypted plaintext over TCP. Do not send sensitive personal information over a Telnet connection. Shattered Archive has no control over the MUD server you choose to connect to.

No other network requests are made by the app.

Mobile App — Permissions

  • Internet — Required to connect to the MUD server.
  • Foreground Service / Wake Lock — Keeps your connection active while the screen is off.
  • Vibrate — Optional haptic feedback for in-game events.
  • Post Notifications — Displays the persistent connection notification on Android 13+.
  • Battery Optimization Exemption — Lets you opt the app out of Doze mode so the connection stays alive.

Children

Shattered Archive is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
