v1.2.1 — Privacy panel + opt-out telemetry

Privacy panel

A new Privacy section in Settings, plus a first-launch disclosure strip on the title screen. Anonymous progression telemetry — opt-out, with a Delete My Data button that wipes everything tied to your install.

Collected

• Which milestones you reach (first dive, first boss kill, first zone clear) and when
• Session start/end timestamps
• Game version + OS family

NOT collected

• No Steam ID, no IP address, no save contents, no purchase data, no chat

Opt out

Settings → Privacy → toggle off. Effect is immediate. The Delete My Data button erases everything already uploaded. Full policy at goneidle.com/privacy.

Why

After two weeks of patches I still couldn't answer basic questions about where players drop off. This adds the smallest possible signal — milestones and session length — to inform what gets fixed next. No engagement metrics, no monetization data, no per-player tracking.

Heads up

A free Shallows-only demo (~30–45 min, full PSI tree, one Ascension layer) is in Steam build review. Once it clears, a Download Demo button will appear on this store page.
