In a nutshell
  • We collect only statistical information that allows us to analyze trends in the player community
  • We do not collect data that could help identify users.

  • Unique identifier (UUID) - used to calculate the number of unique users; generated completely randomly on the user side when creating a configuration file.
  • Current Legacy Launcher version - we look at a graph of the most popular versions when we release updates ** Legacy Launcher brand (for example: "legacy")** - to classify the user.
  • User OS name - to determine the proportions of different OSs
  • Selected language (e.g.: "ru_RU") - to keep statistics on the popularity of languages
