Profile name, optional profile picture, owned content, challenge saves, Sim names, progress, and journal entries. Depending on the challenge, this can also include family relationships and scores.
Only people with access to your browser profile or to a backup file that you export.
No tracker data is sent to Plumbook, EA or another service. Information you voluntarily submit through the separate Google Forms is an exception and is described below. A limited technical error report may also be sent when the application fails; it never contains names, notes, scores, family data or imported content.
Plumbook currently uses no advertising cookies, audience-measurement trackers or connected analytics service. If any statistics or trackers are introduced later, their necessity, legal basis and—where required—your consent will be assessed before activation in accordance with the recommendations of the French data protection authority (CNIL).
Read the CNIL guidelines on cookies and trackers ↗Plumbook uses your browser’s local storage solely to remember your language, profile, content selection and challenge progress. This storage is necessary for the tracker to work and is not used to follow you across websites.
The data remains until you erase it from Plumbook, clear your browser data or remove the browser profile. Private browsing and automatic browser cleanup may erase it sooner.
Back up regularly from Settings & data. A local save is not a cloud backup.
Change your information directly inside Plumbook.
Download a readable JSON copy from Settings & data.
Delete everything stored on this browser with Reset Plumbook.
Because Plumbook does not receive this data, the publisher cannot retrieve, synchronise, correct or delete a local save on your behalf.
The FAQ form prepares a message in your own email application. Nothing is sent until you review and send that email yourself. Plumbook does not store a copy of the form. The email is then processed only to answer your question.
Problem reports and suggestions open an optional Google Form hosted by Google. The form language follows the language selected in Plumbook.
The selected category, the page concerned, your message and, only if you provide it, your email address. Do not include information from your save or other private data.
Responses are used only to answer you and improve Plumbook. They are stored in the publisher’s Google account and deleted once no longer useful, no later than 12 months after the request is closed.
Submitting a form is voluntary. To access, correct or request deletion of a response, contact myweirdtrinkets@gmail.com. Google processes the form according to its own privacy policy.
